We also took it easy on EJ I feel like. At least didn't finish checks as hard or didn't hit at all.
That's nice
Jets beat Kings?! Are they for real? I have to say, didn't expect this from the Jets.

He will follow JJ footsteps and sign league minimum next season imo
The move he made close to Buffalo blueline was pretty sneaky. Liked it a lot.

Was injured in the 1st, and missed the last 4-5 minutes. Then, with them up 5-1 in the 3rd, Bednar just didn't play him as much.
I think what's mind blowing to me is that the Avs are in 1st place in the division, with no 2nd line to speak of, erratic play from 96, generically subpar goaltending, and long term injuries/absences to 92, 62, and 49.
Just shows how talented and well coached they really are. I know we bitch about a lot of things consistently and most are warranted but the team is doing very well considering all factors going against them.
At this point for me it's address the 2nd line. And George needs to figure his shit out. Honestly he's lucky that Prosvetov is raw and needs some work or I'd say George would already be in a goalie battle.

There was a reason we were so pissed they didn't get a 2C after Kadri walked. This core should have multiple cups before it's over but, barring a miracle UFA acquisition, management f***ed that pretty good.
Lots of positives including Prosvetov. Give him the Coyotes game!

Agreed. I'm liking Ivan Prosvetov. We may have a developing goalie controversy

They just have to do more as a second line. That’s not a checking line to go out there and do something good every 3 or 4 games. The 2nd line should provide offense more consistently, but like @forsbergavs32 said, maybe in the playoffs we’ll have a good 2nd line if Landy and Lehky come back
Malinski is looking pretty reasonable. 4 pts in 7 games with limited ice time and is not a complete sieve defensively.
It's another complete f*** up on managements part if he comes in plays competently. Reason being is because if he does that means Girard was even more expendable, which is super frustrating to me.
CMac has completely butchered the 2C issue. Sometimes you have to make tough decisions like choosing ELC player over luxury overpaid player. Had he just made this decision, CMac could have dedicated more resources to a huge problem.
Instead we are stuck with broken and washed RyJo and no Girard anyways.

Maybe Georgiev's stick is magic. Can we get him to slash Johansen and see what happens?
That's fine but one reasonable game here and there by the 2nd line isn't exactly ideal. They generally suck most nights.
Not even close to good enough for a 2nd line. That's is really a bottom 5 2nd line in the league, possibly even the worst. I'm not saying we need the best 2nd line in the league, we need like league average and we'd be in a good spot.

I’m not sure if Jets are for real. They were tops in the division around this time last year too, dropped to wildcard by the end of the year

What????? How can this be a complete f*** up on management? How would they have known Malinski was ready for NHL? You have to give him NHL games first and even then 7 games is a very small sample to decide if he can replace G. Lots of dmen have had a great showing in their first 10 NHL games to go back as AHL career players.
Malinski was good last night, but I think people are running a little wild with it.

Speaking of sticks. When is Big Moose going to break a couple of sticks over opposing forwards? This may help him out of his goal slump quicker!

Yeah agree and I am a fan of his. He could be the solution to one of our holes but let's see how he does against stronger teams first before giving him the spot permanently. In fact him starting against weaker teams could help him in the long run. It gives him a chance to settle in nicely and adjust to the NHL speed before meeting the tougher teams. It is certainly encouraging though.

HaHa I had the same thought when the goal happened. With that said I don't have a problem with those cross ice passes. They are very effective on the PP but you need to pick the right time to make them. That's where Mack has issues with. Making one good one but turning over the puck 25 other times because you force them is not a good ratio.
