Bobby McMann

Without the four goals, you are more than six points away from first, I'll tell you that much.

Bobby McMann scores, and so they need Dylan Larkin to convert, and Dylan Larkin tries his move and doesn't convert.

And so the Red Wings end up falling in a shootout.

Disappointing end, but even the fact that they got that point was wild.

Yeah

... where all of a sudden the Detroit Red Wings come out of nowhere, score three goals, steal a point, and it's the Seattle Kraken stealing the extra point in a shootout, thanks to a winner by Bobby McMann.

In the first period, how about the shot from Mackie Samuskevitch to beat Daniil Tarasov for his fourth to make it 1-0? Into the second period, talked about that awful Jack Eichel turnover earlier in the hour.

How about the turnover from Michael Rasmussen, Scotty? Don't know where he was going with that, but Ryker Evans will take it.

Nothing really going on in overtime, so let's jump to the shootout, Scotty, where Beniers, Raymond, Catton, and DeBrincat all miss.

Freddie Gaudreau, great in the shootout, goes in and scores.

Victor Arvidsson responds with a goal, and then Bobby McMann slips one five hole on Tarasov.

So Larkin, with the game on his stick, cannot extend it, so Bobby McMann and Freddie Gaudreau score in the shootout, and the Kraken hang on for the extra point.

The Kraken did make a tweak in their top six, uh, switching Jordan Eberle and Mackie Samuskevich.

So we've got the top line of, of, uh, McCann, Beniers, and Eberle now, and then the second line of McMann, Stevenson, and Samuskevich.

Uh, what do you think of that change?

I do like that change 'cause it feels like you're, you're messing with things the least, but perhaps in the most important way, which is one of the things that I was gonna bring up was we were gonna get to that, you know, the, the Chandler Stevenson line and, and I was gonna ask you, right? 'Cause they've been struggling so much, particularly defensively.

My big question was gonna be, well, who is supposed to play defense on that line, right? Like, none of these guys, Bobby McMann, Jordan Eberle, or Chandler Stevenson, none of them are particularly known for their defense.

And so I, I do think, like, you know, this is a way of Shaking things up, you add Mackie Samuskevitch to that second line w- with, uh, Stephenson and Bobby McMann.

Mackie Samuskevitch will now be the defender on that line, right? Like, like, he is going to be the guy that's gonna be shouldering, I would think, the majority of the responsibility defensively there.

And I, I don't think you then also mess too much with the chemistry and things up top just because Beniers, McCann, and Eberle have played so much together, and they've been successful together.

So Brandsig N- Nygaard, I'm really interested in playing on the line with DeBrincat.

Um, but another guy that really comes to mind is Bobby McMann, okay? Bobby McMann, the Seattle guy.

So you got, uh, every single year I feel like Jared McCann is on this list, and it's a crime 'cause if you think if he just got the deployment that he should be getting, he would never be on this list.

He'd already be rostered in every single league.

Um, so with that in mind, the other guy I'm really considering is, um, Bobby McMann.

He shoots, he hits, and he's scoring, right? He's on that top power play, if you wanna call it a top power play.

Um, and he's one guy that's been really sticking out to me.

So Jared McCann, Bobby McMann, and then, um, I'm gonna botch the name here, Brands- Brandsig Nygaard.

... it's interesting.

This guy's drawing comparisons to, to Bobby McMann.

At least that's what Leaf fans were doing, and you can kind of see the resemblance.

Like, both guys, uh, again, what, what the Canucks like in terms of their prospects right now, guys who can skate, guys with some size, guys with some hands, and Brandon Burr checks all those boxes.

Now, it's interesting because last season he had 19 goals, uh, in the college hockey circuit.

Uh, Elite Prospects had him as the fourth highest ranked college free agent last season.

Um, and again, with, for Leaf fans comparing him to Bobby McMann, Bobby McMann didn't score as much in college hockey.

Uh, he had 10 goals and 20 points in his final season before signing, uh, with the Maple Leafs.
