Not sure what's going on with Nylander. Twice, on the power play to start the third, he was unable to receive a soft pass to him that most 10 year olds could have easily received. This concerns me.

He just seems so out of focused. Totally reminds me of Kovalev with the Rangers
Very moody, when he wants to play, he'll play. If he doesn't, he doesn't.

Keefe needs to start treating them like stars. If he's not doing well, then get Simmonds in his spot for a game and bench William
Maybe even give him few days off here and there. Just to let him refresh his mind or something

It's nice to finally have not lost or won a game because of goaltending

I still believe in Jack. But tonight was refreshing after a long 2-3 months

Yeape. People have to keep that in mind. Seguin has lost a step or two after his hip and knee surgery
Jamie Benn seems like he lost a step and can't move on ice
Pavelski just old

Gurinov has been a dissapointment considering the draft class

Pavs is old but he’s PPG + this year and contributing on one of the best lines in hockey. They were shut down tonight which is impressive.

I forgot, the 27th placed Sabres, the 30th placed Yotes, and the 32nd place MTL who smashed us are all young and fast and very good teams... I can tell you the reason why we lost to all those teams, it was because we did not get NHL goaltending in those games.

Whether or not they are old and slow, they are good enough to be one point out of a playoff spot 60 games into the season.

if that's your standard then good luck in the playoffs
 
Happy for the kid, but I really feel that the team played much better defensively in front of him. One thing I noticed, was that his rebound control was somewhat shaky.

The important thing is, he kept the puck on the right side of the goal line. Cheers to you, young man and let’s do this again to the Canes!

Yeah, I noticed that the were some rebound issues too. At least it wasn't rebounds of shots going well wide of the net, fed to the slot for a player to tap into a yawning cage. The other thing I noticed was some issues with puck handling, but I think a lot of that was just not really knowing how his team mates function. Other than that though, a very solid performance regardless of whether it was his first start.

Mrazek watching this team tonight

More like the team watching Mrazek flop around the net letting in shots from the red line*. That's what happens when we get average NHL goaltending.

I thought Mikheyev had a strong game. I know the finish isn't there, and probably won't ever be, but when he's got that jump in his step, his speed makes him really effective. I'd like to see it more consistently.

Tavares looked better tonight too. Some are saying its playing with Marner, but I thought Nylander looked better away from Tavares too. I think the second line is just not working as is and it is dragging down every guy on it. How to fix that without breaking up the Bunting/Matthews/Marner trio, I don't know.

And obviously, great start for Kallgren. Nice to get some needed goaltending.

I get Kapanen vibes from Mik. Skates like the wind, great PK but couldn't score on breakaway if his ass was on fire and streaky as hell. I won't miss him if he doesn't resign honestly. Just like I don't miss KK.

I think it is the appreciation of an actual 60 minute effort from the whole team.

Hard to keep attention to detail and play steady when you’re afraid every mistake or even routine shots are going end up going in. There’s a lot to be said for how the poor goalie play contributes to erratic play in front of them
