We're essentially missing a 2nd line. We've got a good top line (Malkin's line), a good 3rd line (McCann's line), and a good 4th line (Blueger's line).
Just post your “stealer GIF” and quit whining Mr. Mercenary

You can bump up the Bluegers line to a good 3rd line. They’ve been awesome

Teddy has been playing 15-20 minutes and doing really well. The big issue is the 4th line and the 1st line shutting down with Jake disappearing.

So I checked MTL board and they are impressed with Kovalchuk... hmmm...
without all his bullshit baggage I would loved to have him here...
But I'm still not sold he would fit this system and would be miserable / upset and start up the bullshit.
Scoring wise though I bet he would be miles above Galchenyak.

Of course I kid, Much better name considering your background.

Bullshit baggage is manifested by Devils and Kings fans that felt jilted he ditched when he had reasons that we can't be so judgemental about to begin with.
I was hoping the Pens would sign him and hope he does very well in Montreal. A "person with baggage" wouldn't take a 2-way contract like he did at his supposed "ego."
Edit: To add, being miserable? Nah, Kovalchuk literally just wanted to be played, LA wouldn't even respect him enough to do that and that team is straight trash. The guy literally took a 2-way contract, he's willing to play any role...he literally would have been with Geno and done well or even on the 3rd line, the guy is about 10x more useful than Galchenyuk.

I think Malkin's relationship with him would have gone a long way to offset attitude issues. It seems that those with an ear closer to the situation in L.A. believe that it was simply a poor fit, as he is a slower skater on an already slower skating team.
I'm a sucker for a comeback story so I hope he does well with the Habs, though they really have to go on a run to make the playoffs
Like, take me back to my childhood, eat a whole bar of Ex-Lax Chocolate Bar, burn those underwear and pants, sitting on the toilet for a day, kinda runs.

From what I can see in posts and reports about his debut with the Habs, his skating isn't an issue and Kings fans (delusional af) were just straight hating on the guy.

I'm going to be flipping between the Pens game and the Habs game, I really hope Kovalchuk scores tonight. It's vs Detroit, dude should have a hattrick.

I really like Blandisi's game since he's been up, I think in a 4th line role, he has the energy, speed and enough of a brain to be a serviceable 4th line C. Maybe that's just me, but I like the idea of McCann moving to wing only if Blueger is that 3C and Blandisi as the 4c isn't bad either.

Ya think with Malkin? They are kind of opposites no? Malkin is a quiet gamer kinda guy? Kovalchuk is a big time party scene kinda guy?
I don't know either of them personally obviously, but I know Malkin games and Kovalchuk parties.
Good idea, that one thumb is looking a little less than ginormous after the holidays

On the east coast games or west coast games? 7pm games in london would start at 12 midnight...
where you at?
Going back a number of years it was Kovy who actually brought Malkin & Ovechkin together. Both young Russians had such respect for Ilya that they were willing to put aside their differences at an All-Star weekend (I believe). Although they obviously continued to play extremely competitively against each other, it was not with the same dislike/hatred that previously existed, thanks to Ilya.
