Captain Caveman

Bobrovski played 2 seasons in the KHL though

Maybe 3 points out of not being in last place instead of 6 points out of not being in last place?

There's no such thing as a sure thing

smoke em if ya got em

By MT I assume you mean MS - of those 4 guys 3 are "offensive" defenseman, with Dahlin the only one of the 3 who might be considered sound defensively. Power has been a disaster in his own zone, and Byram has been up and down (though the offense seems to mostly make up for it.) But when we are defending a lead, this team isn't generally looking to generate offense and our strength on D becomes a weakness.

I do think there's something to the fact that our top line defensemen aren't strong defensively.

I definitely don't want Wahlberg here long term, but I don't think it's necessarily a bad idea to give him a few games here if he's earned it (and to remind him that the WJC and NHL are entirely different levels of competition and he needs to keep working his ass off.) I'm also fine with Murray or Kozak being the call up.

Hopefully we don't mess that up by trying to have him here in 1 or 2.

for sake

Zucker of course having a great game, but Thompson also showing his worth stealing that puck and making it happen

just win baby

It feels like I am regularly seeing Avs players get physically beat / knocked off the puck or on their ass, and I like it.

this game is nuts
