sergachev going out for tampa really really really hurts them. they dont have that flexibility that they used to.
btw, how great a play from raymond was that in ot? he's got lindholm (i think) draped all over him, lindholm checks him into the boards, but raymond holds him off, takes the check and keeps possession, wriggles away, and then finds walman streaking in behind a sleeping quinn hughes. tocchet was about to pull whatever hair is left in his head out after that.
last year's raymond falls down or is pinned against the boards. this year's raymond is strong enough to work through it, and skilled enough to make a great pass out of it.
considering raymond was leveled in the first on a dirty hit by zadorov and had enough to come back and play makes it even better. he's getting stronger and better.
