I think it's safe to say that this team that was already sort of floundering going into the break is now fully cooked.
They are fighting for 1st place in the AWhat ever happened to our good players like Prishchepov and Ivan (x2)?
Avs look like a middle of the pack team
Prish, I'm pretty sure is a development choice. Trying to get him more ice time.What ever happened to our good players like Prishchepov and Ivan (x2)?
Even with Mikko gone the Avs have no idea how to attack an ultra aggressive PK. MacKinnon thinks stickhandling as fast as possible will throw them off. The way to beat that PK is get the puck to Makar, send two guys to the net and fire away. They're pressuring like crazy, so stop trying to make skill plays.It was really only a matter of time. Avs have looked so bad.
What an awful PP. They never got anything going, which happens often against aggressive PKs. As hard as that MacKinnon pass was, you sure would like a guy with some of the best hands on the team like Drouin to handle it. Necas was really fighting it as well.
