Pre-Game Talk: Week of Afternoon Delights (Mon vs. MIN, Wed vs. WPG, Sat @ BOS, Sun @ NYR)

It's like a rotating wheel of poo on that 3rd pairing. The fact that Middleton just keeps playing is kind of absurd. Almost like they are showcasing him for a deadline deal (why anyone would covet him, IDK).

Did they even have a morning skate today?

Bednar, Rantanen, Manson, and O’Connor post practice media scrums:

Landy seemed to be a fixture in practice a week ago. Kind of vanished again.

He was basically doing one day on, one day off. We only had optional skates for the past week until today. Correct that he wasn't at today's mandatory, full team skate.

For what it's worth, he's been seen watching practice from upstairs in the gym.

Feels like this team needs another wake up. Maybe need to shake up the lines more to get some guys going?

JD/Mack/LOC
Lehky/Jusso/Mikko
Rosco/Mitts/Ivan

Good to hear Mikko talking about creating traffic. Hopefully they follow through although they have a hard enough time hitting the net without their own guys being in the way lol.

Good to know.

Malinski is terrible but at least he can move and occasionally pass the puck like an NHLer, he's got that over de Haan.

 

[dahrougem2]

Nathan MacKinnon better have a f***ing game tonight. No Adam Lowry to follow him around like white on rice as he's week-to-week with an injury.

 

[forsbergavs32]

Don’t worry the Avs will come out firing and dominate for 60 minutes and finally solve Hellebuyck.

3-1 Jets
