GDT: Game 7 - New York Rangers vs Colorado Avalanche - 8pm EST, ESPN, ESPN+

[Unpredictable1]

The one thing I would say, that the fact that a goalie has that competitive nature and gets pissed about not having an opportunity to play (even if he's objectively worse than the guy who beats him to that spot) is not wrong. A lot of the goalies want to be a #1, and they won't easily accept a new type of role in a solidified backup. And that's a good thing in general. But it wasn't a good fit for the team and the goalie, hence why it was good that they replaced Georgiev with Halak, who basically has made a career out of being a backup in the NHL.

I mean I bet that in private Kakko and Laf are super pissed about not getting a chance with proper powerplay time. It's not at the point where they would want out of here obviously, because they can still be a bigger part of the team than a backup would be. But you have to wonder if at some point that will be a point of discussion with their future contracts.

Well said - and I hope Laf manages to stay in the top 6 alongside of Panarin instead of giving it back to a part-time kid at the first sign of a bit of adversity.

In true Rongo tradition I can see us lifting to meet the challenge, smashing the Avs and addressing the shitshow of the the last week with a "Statement" win.

Then again....

Imagine how nice it would be to have another elite defenseman on his left. That would help.
