I think actually yes?
He's crazy fast in open ice - he caught McLeod on a breakaway today which is wild, McLeod is about as fast as Eric Robinson. And maybe Guddy doesn't have to think as much with fewer players on the ice.

Tank Shmank. The Big Question is this: "Will Marchenko get an assist before Foudy gets a goal?"
Good fight, good win.
Some pretty good defensive plays by Gudbransson and again he is out on OT, which is weird and still ongoing joke by Brad Larsen. Still, Badbransson gets destroyed on shots against, though playing a lot against McDavid tends to do that to you. If they had a better system, maybe, just maybe also Gudbransson would have a chance to improve into a decent 3rd pair NHL defenseman.
13-38-29 & 91-96-86 make so much more sense than many other variations we have seen. More "luck" needed for burying more goals, but esp. the 1st line tends to have more opportunities than the opponents and that makes you hopeful.
After recovering from the surgery, Korpisalo has been a pretty good goalie after all. Having had some nagging injuries myself, I can relate how frustrating it had to be when he could do only "80%" or so what he was when healthy.

Gudbransson definitely was surprisingly fast when he catched that breakaway.
But still, no, he is not a good option for 3-on-3: no vision, no hands, no quick passing, no scoring ability. Fortunately he didn't need to do anything but just stay on ice when Gaudreau & Johnson were playing the puck.

okay so hear me out OBVIOUSLY we’re not going to make playoffs lol… currently we sit 23 points out of a playoff spot. my question is, I wonder if there’s ever been a team in that has been 23 points out of a playoff spot and came back to make playoffs.
I don’t know how to look that up. ha

Couldn't watch last night but just watched the highlights.
Nice highlight reel save by Korpisalo; feels good to see him start to get his game back and hopefully it can filter down to Elvis and beyond. I know he isn't a long term solution but still nice to see - unless, I guess, if you are embracing full on tank mode.

Didnt watch the 3rd but a good effort from a lot of guys. Berni's skating is a real asset for him. Peeke was more physical than he has been which is how he needs to play to be successful. Johnson played a poor game for the most part but finally the coaching staff let a kid play through it and was rewarded.
The team as a whole did a good job supporting each other and collapsing on McDavid in the zone limiting his chances about as well as you can expect for the most part.

Marchenko is a beast and will be a serious core piece. He doesn't care how bad this team is, just doing his thing. People on this board attempted to downplay his future impact as its pretty unexpected. But here we are, he continues to score and and now we see the back pedaling. Love to see it.
Legit 1st line potential.

Wasnt he rated among our top prospects in many offseason votes?

As soon as Marchenko gets players on his line that can finish consistantly, his assists will come. The goal he scored last night, the way he created his chance, is what was noticeable since day one with the Monsters. He has the ability to create scoring chances for himself, and also create space where he can pass the puck to someone with a better chance. They were finishing for him in Cleveland as noted by his 11 helpers in 16 games. The assists will come.

That post was for those who claimed he'd maybe be a top 6 winger. Dude is on pace for 36 goals
Double-Shift Lasse
Just post better
Only humans have thumbsThumbs half up
So a 30-40 point winger?
AI: An ineffective tank commander should be someone who is not responsible for the operation and tactical deployment of tanks in a military setting. This could be a foot soldier, a non-combat support role member, or a civilian.The Tank Commander HfBoard of Directors just demoted Kent to infantryman.
OK, I'm done with the whole AI thing. It was fun for a night.
