Around the League 46: Sharks Finally Yank A Win Out Of Their Cloaca

Necas already looks more motivated.
Drury not looking like the 2nd line Centre RBA made him out to be

Unsurprisingly, Necas + McKinnon is just too fast for most teams to keep up with. And Boston wasn’t exactly a fast team to begin with.

Very fast. I know it's only their first game together, but it looks to me like Mac is going to miss Rantanen's net presence 5on5 more than most will let on. I think they might have to adjust and/or move Drouin off that line

My worry for that line is can they keep Necas from trying to Heropuck it all the time, and can they avoid MacKinnon ripping his asshole apart when he inevitably falls back into those tendencies

Necas went from winging Drury and/or Koko to frakin Mack! LOL.

Drury is playing 3C

Drury is playing 3C

I know, just a joke about RBA

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Not that I blame him, considering he just arrived on the team, but Necas was scrambling defensively on that second Bruins goal

Stay healthy Freddie and pyotr:

 

[Justicebork]

Drury on the board for the Avs!

Now Necas with an assist! Kill the Rags!

 

[Unhinged Finn]

Drury is allowed to score in avs jersey. Also an assist for Nachos.

Edit: now tro scores. 12 shots and four goals in the first 10 mins. Goalie appreciation night.

 

[Justicebork]

2-2 Trocheck scores and I now officially recommend that everybody turn this game on.

Avs pbp announcer is pronouncing Necas like a douchebag

 

[Unsustainable]

Necas is all over the ice looking poised

Avs pbp announcer is pronouncing Necas like a douchebag

That's the correct way to pronounce his name tho. I get it may sound weird. I got used to "Neychus", even as a Czech.

Ex-Canes taking down the Rongos in crushing defeat.

Brutal ending for the rags lol

I feel like this might be a win-win trade. Necas feels like a better fit with MacKinnon than with Brind'Amour. Rantanen is a more Brind'Amour-friendly player.

Necas is -4 in two games though.....RBA's guidance to MN was perhaps correct.

Necas and Drury can’t help but be Rangers hating Canes players even when they aren’t canes players anymore Was so nice to see Necas and Drury have a bit of success quickly with the Avs today and especially to do it against the Rangers . Extra sweet for the Rangers to get nothing out of that game and lose in a dagger like way after refs tried to put their finger on the scale for the rangers with the ridiculous late penalty..not even a loser point for them coming back to tie it in the third…. It was poetic it ended up that way today…

Unless he is just so awful over time that they are forced to move him off his line, Necas can’t help but put up points on a line with Nate Mac…..

So far he is definitely showing that he can skate with Nate Mac and when they get more in tune their combined speed is going to be so hard for teams to handle.… they are figuring it out as Necas is much more of a perimeter player that avoids contact and MacKinnon has to adapt to that…. You could see NM having to adjust during the game today as they figure out each others tendencies as they play more together…

I’m happy Necas landed in a good spot for him and his next contract. Avs get a player who can help keep it rolling for them at a significant cap savings compared to what they would be paying Rantenan on a new deal next year. Even if he blows up next season as well on the last year of his current deal, no way Necas gets 14M from Avs either.

This really does kind of work as a sort of win-win trade for both teams given the circumstances…
