GDT: G21: Avs (11-9-0) @ Panthers (12-7-1) - Sat Nov 23 @ 4 PM MST

I really think this team can make some noise this season. We just need Mitts to start to gel with his linemates, get a goalie, and find a good solid D partner for Malinski.

I thought tonight was the best 13-37-96 looked since being put together.

All the dmen played well. Chillin'ton looked like a ragdoll in the 1st period, but picked it up after that. Cale and Sammy were obviously the clutchest of them all, even if they would've not had any points.

The 1st period kinda reminded me of the playoff series agains the Stars last season, as Nate and pretty much everyone else got shut down hard. The first shift of the 2nd period showed me instantly, that they were going to improve and boy what a period they had indeed.

Kovy and Kelly looked good with limited minutes and I loved how Wood didn't have any of Tkachuk's shit, getting him out of the play for a couple of minutes during an important part of the game. I'll also take those dirty goals any time and the 5th Avs goal was a beauty.

I guess George didn't look as poised as he has been the past few games, but I think Bob didn't look that good either.

Great to see that Georgiev played one of his better games.

We're definitely maybe going to keep winning if we score 7 or 8.

I just dropped nuke from my fantasy team. Expect him to pop off tonight. You're welcome for my sacrifice.

I'm doing my part.

For science

She blinded me with, uh...science.

Hope you get Thomas Dolby stuck in your head.

Calling him solid is a stretch. The first goal was a bad one, I don't care how much he was screened. The second one was questionable. Third, great direct. No chance. Fourth, again, not his fault.

That's still one softie and a questionable one. We f***ing can't have that.

What is questionable on the second goal? He stopped the shot, the puck randomly deflected off his shoulder in a way, that Barkov could put it away before he could turn. That goal was on Manson, first for causing the turnover that lead to the whole situation, then for failing to making it hard for Barkov to score by either pushing him away or tying his stick.

Anyway, generally good performance from everyone, especially happy for Drouin and Nichuskin for getting into stride after missing the start of the season. And Sammy G played pretty well too, which is nice after seeing him heavily criticized around here and people asking him to get traded in recent times. If we get at least average goaltending, we have depth to beat everyone, even if MacK or Makar are not scoring, And it shall be even better once we get Landy and Colton back.

I dunno if it's possible to score 7 goals against the defending champs and also in the same game have it look apparent that the team and its defence won't be able to overcome big boy hockey in the playoffs.
