That's funny, I thought Thompson looked good tonight. I liked his pop with the puck.You don't see that every day. Oh well. Didn't convert on the chances. Smith with two breakaways, nicely done. Looked good then bad then good on the PP.
Celly with a game to forget, but even so he had a few chances.
Mukh looks... Fine. Which is probably good enough for now.
Thompson has been looking very overwhelmed last few games.

He was hooking him all the way from center ice ref was letting it go, until he continued to hook him going over the blue line, so it wasn’t meritless. The missed checking from behind on Mario was probably way worseI don't like that they called it in OT. I didn't really see much to cause a penalty shot, but they only showed the replay once.
You know what they say: Deserving only counts in horseshoes, hand grenades, and broken clocks with blind squirrels inside.
What?Who are the tall Russian/Belarussian players in this draft? A ton of them are breaking out in the NHL now. Voronkov, Marchenko, Protas, etc.
But no one with first round talent. Cause those ones bust like Kostin, Mukhamudallan and Alexeyev.
So tall under the radar third-four round picks only.
Only in terms of his penalties causing the 2 GA. There were many other penalties against, but I think the biggest difficulty tonight for Macklin was that Eklund had a real bad game. Couldn't get any plays going.This has to be Macklin's worst game of the season.
I was furious at him for thatTaffoli, don't just stand there, shoot it. You had a point blink shot.
Last resort onlyI'm mostly taking positives from this game. Sharks were the better team and Vanecek looked good.
How are people feeling about Wennberg as the #2C next season?
Vanacek looked good. He was really seeing the puck tonight!
