2-0 after a powerplay goal for SJ. No idea how the refs decided to give Abby an extra penalty after a scrum that saw SJ have a second man in on an Abby player.
 
Kudryavstev is probably their best defenseman. One thing you can say that was good about the trade deadline is that they didn't lose this young player.

Put a fork in Blais - he can't help the Canucks. Also stick another fork in Brisebois. And I can still remember Benning raving about him.

Noticed that many of the vet forwards - Stevens, Twarynski, Kambeitz, DiGuiseppe were not playing. Smith played and stank. Don't think he played in the third. Overall, this team has very weak set of vet forwards. Good that some of the younger players are able to carry the load but handing out pro jobs at the AHL level to some of these players is laughable.

Poor Silovs is becoming "Sieve-lots". Got to cover your eyes at times. Looks in permanent panic mode and so unsure of himself.
 
I’m still not sure why he was sent back to the AHL when he was. Had just scored his first goal and was playing his best NHL hockey yet. Bizarre.
The rotating cast of wingers on the 4th line hasnt seemed very intentional. Noone called up has been given any sort of opportunity to set into a role and even when it clicks it seems the next game Hoglander is in the doghouse and put on the 4th line and the AHLer is bumped out for someone else to go up into Hogs spot
 
Linus Karlsson now 2nd in points per game among AHL players who have played more than 6 games. The only one ahead of him….Daniel Sprong

Yeah, it's super weird. His last 3 or 4 games were excellent and he was starting to look like an NHL player and then *poof* gone and we've gone back to Aman and Bains and Lekk who haven't looked as good.
