Mac knew exactly who to thank first. What a shift.

Also Blackwood is becoming a Fan favorite very very fast. What a steal this trade has been so far. Mittelstadt not so much....

Should have just re-signed Kadri. Now we gonna stress about a 2C again. It’s been a vicious cycle

How is Kadri doing these days anyway? Maybe Calgary would flip him for Mittlestadt? :-P

My 2 cents:

-PTSD kicking strong with Rangers having atleast 3 good chances in the start which would have been goals with Fourgiev
-Luckily we scored first and were on the drivers seat
-Unluckily we got a PP where Avs suck, Makar at the blueline ready to score and holy s*** its in our net..
-Downhill from there until in the second "nice" pass from Malinski to Mittlestadt in the Rangers end who omg its in our net...
-Casey was benched after that and I saw Mikko centering LOC and Kivi, so Blendar full on..
-I was so ready for Avs to lose. They didnt look like a comeback team as before, but luckily they got their act together with goalie pulled
-LoC proved himself in the OT and Avs win

Without Blackwood Avs would have been taken behind the shed. I hope there is some extra skating next morning...

At least they know

f***ing solid interview. You can tell that Toews is a student of the game. Would not surprise me he could coach if he wanted to, the knowledge and communication skills are there.

Good for Bedsy and Toews calling out the horrible effort.

Like I said earlier, I hope we are done with giving Mittelstadt the rope. He was demoted for a few games as a message, then got his #2C spot back and there was absolutely zero effect on his play. From now on, he should be centering the 4th line and only if he himself starts showing significant improvement, should he be promoted again.

Drouin-MacK-Lehky
Colton-Pärssinen-Rantanen
Kiviranta-Kelly-LOC
Innala-Mittelstadt-whoever

It's about time Bednar called the guys out. This was a complete and utter disaster, with George in net it would have been like 6-1 Rangers midway through the game. All hail Blackwood!

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Terrible terrible game. How many breakaways Rangers had? Lost count. It was that many.

We keep playing terrible hockey yet we get bailed out by the great goaltender. Poor guy.

We've been on a poor form for a long time now. Changes have to be made.

What happened to Malinski yesterday? It seems like he was either hurt or incredibly super bad. I only watched the last 3 min. You can thank me anyway not LOC or Blackwood
