Malgin at 3 goals in the last 4 games, almost at double digit goals on the season lol

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

I'm not at the point where I miss Malgin, but I think people were way too harsh on him and he wouldn't be the worst player in the bottom 6 if he was still here

Stamkos out... for the season?

 

[BallardEra]

That looked like a tear for Stamkos.

So... out for the season?

So... out for the season?

Guess we will find out.

 

[Michoulicious]

Sandin with already 7 points in 4 games since the trade. Played 25 mins and 29 mins in his last 2 games, and still is the 2nd most used player by Washington today (15+mins after 2 periods).

Kid found a home.

Take a look at Noel Acciari. He’s your ideal, benchmark for what a bottom 6 six forward should look like 200 feet of the ice every 60 minutes of play. You’ll never miss Malgin when you have that.

Just added a goal too.

EDIT: Looks like he assisted on it.

1 goal and 7 assists in 4 games. +6

And we will never miss Nic Petan, Ilya Mikheyev, Kasperi Kapanen, Andreas Johnsson and Pierre Engvall either.

And I hope we will never miss Alexander Kerfoot soon.

 

[Rants Mulliniks]

Strange he’s not talking to the media about how you can win with him?

 

[BertCorbeau]

Happy for Sandin.. the talent was there.

To be fair to Mikheyev and some of those guys they’re a lot better than Malgin.

 

[notDatsyuk]

Tkachuk tries to run the Canucks goalie after the whistle, then goes berserk when the D rides him almost into the post.

As of now that would probably be ZAR. Neither would play over Knies though when he signs.

 

[SprDaVE]

Blows my mind they didn't remove Fletcher BEFORE the deadline.

 

[Jacquestrapless]

 

[Peasy]

Flyers go from re-build with Hextall, they get impatient and can him, bring in Fletcher who puts the team in a worse spot than when he came in, they fire him and they start another re-build.

Some owners are ridiculous...

 

[baton elevated]

It almost seems like there's a bias within the officials to help certain teams more than others

It's called game management. All brought on by the betting culture that has permiated all sports. The integrity of the game has been corrupted.

 

[Damisoph]

This is blatantly untrue. The first round of the NHL, either under the conference system or the shitty divisional system has always been an exciting affair. No series is ever truly predictable in the NHL and upsets happened plenty of times.

First round of the NHL playoffs is the greatest time of the year, including Christmas.

Vancouver's from what I hear is worse

But then Briere says the team has some good players and won't look radically different next year, while it's a multi-year process

 

[Damisoph]

Honestly, it's smart for Briere to publicly take that stance. If other GMs think he has some mandate to move a bunch of contracts he will have a tough time getting fair value.

Definitely a possibility too .. He'll have to follow through with at least 1 big move to start the process though.

They could rebuild around Hart, Sanheim, Farabee .. Hang on to Laughton and Couturier as well.

It's interesting because they have Provorov, Atkinson, and Konency with 2 more years until UFA. They could get some good assets for them by moving them in the offseason. Great buy candidates for competitive teams. Or they'll make great trade assets at next year's deadline.

They'l likely move on from DeAngelo and Hayes .. I think they're stuck with Risto.
