"Jedi Forsberg"
As a tribute to How I Met Your Mother, "Lily's Loud Chewing" is a reference to the episode Spoiler Alert, in which a unique aspect about each character (that had previously gone undetected) is revealed, shattering the earlier illusions. For Marshall, he had never noticed that his wife chews loudly and it wasn't until this was revealed to him, that going forward, he couldn't help but notice. Similarly, our goal with "Lily's Loud Chewing" is to find subtle aspects of the game, which you may be overlooking, and present them to you to add to your understanding, analysis, or entertainment as you watch.
For our second LLC, we have what looks like an ordinary forecheck and zone exit, until Filip Forsberg goes all Jedi Master and shows off some incredible concentration and hand-eye coordination:
1) He knocks the pass out of the air
2) He tracks it to tap it up to himself
3) He winds up, swings, and connects
and sends Chicago back deep in their zone. It may have amounted to a nothing play, but honestly the skill to pull off any of the three, let alone all three in a span of 2 seconds, is something you're probably not going to see again anytime soon.
