Pouring a shot for Sharks fans after witnessing a patented 4giev performance.

We can toast after. No sharks fan should be binge drinking from that game as they are rebuilding and everyone knows the future is Askarov. They're just hoping 4giev can build any value by the deadline with new coaching. Sharks are happy with a 2nd and Kovalenko in the deal but if 4giev can turn it around and land even a late rd pick that would just be gravy.

Blackwood will give you a good run of three or four games, lay an egg, then get back to form. Rinse and repeat. The difference is that the Avs have the capability of winning games when Blackwood is laying that egg.

If he plays good every 3/4 then they need to re-sign immediately. Goalies are a fickle breed and that kind of consistency cannot be understated. I hope that this assertion is correct lol.

Good for 3 or 4 games then laying an egg pretty much describes most if not all the good goalies in the NHL

This was pretty much the perfect game for both teams. Blackwood gets his team a win and Georgiev lost the game for his team.

I sure as hell can't tell anyone how long that sort of thing will last with him but that's about where he's at right now.

The invert of that describes Georgie.

Big win/win trade for both teams so far. At this moment this is just a celebration thread. (Yes I know things can change, but they are ideal right now.)
