Haven't heard any rumblings lately about Landeskog returning. Not that I'm sure I would even want him to, but does it look like that's a no?
Mack super saiyan 3 come playoffs.
Bottom 6 production since the trade deadline (Colorado = 20 pts) (Winnipeg = 34 pts) (Dallas = 60 pts)
I need it in Utah lol. Maybe selfish but I can catch games 2.5 hours away. That would be epic.
rudo looking like he just rolled out of bed
Just so happy RyJo is gone, that was terrible
this team is easily better…outside of the poopy goaltending
You can be worried bout the Avs.But I don't get why people bring up last yr.They OVERACHIEVED last regular season-worst injuries of any defending champs in 3 decades.Then throw in the Nichuskin deal,& Seattle got every break-on & off the ice.(DOPS suspension/non suspension)-but the Avs still lost game 7 by 1 goal-when they dominated game 7 analytically but Grubauer played awesome,& the hockey gods were on the Krakens side. If that 3rd period tying goal in game 7 isn't offside by millimeters-they probably at least win that series…& they certainly were the far superior team analytically in game 7…but that's hockey sometimes.
That Hair!! 😮
Justus Annunen is an X-factor advantage…just in case we need him. I like his hustle!! This kid has some skills! If Georgie gets in trouble, I have no problem with our backup guy!!
Mitts has looked off the last 4-5 games. Like not good. We were all pretty happy with his first handful of games for sure, but we’re all hoping for a little bit of ramp up, not a cool down… it’s clear he’s a skilled player but!, Nate and Drouin need to take little mitts under their wings and start sprint training and high intensity interval training or something. Would love to see mitts turn into babymack… maybe a 23 mph sprint with the same agility and puck manipulation while at speed. Macks got 25mph in him for sure. Think he’s hitting 24 at the top end now.
Edit: wow! Just realized how much better this years team is than last. Can’t forget about JT and loc missing either.. but damn! We stackin this year is a matter of fact. I think it’s closer or better than 22”. Really. Drouin and mitts and Val alone can replace landiskog, kadri, and JT with their best play. We are just starting to see Drouins actual potential. And it’s stupid. Like better than mikko stupid… he’s a better two way player already. And with another season here he could for real surpass mikko in points. It’s insane to even utter this thought but I believe it. We don’t know mitts potencial yet but we will maybe halfway though next season. We all hope to be shocked by seeing a new level for him this year but I’m not counting on it. We need Val to be back to 95% by game one. He’s around 70-75% now. Looking better than 2 games ago where we got 60%… just hope we see 5% better per game now…
And Cale? Ahhh, like watching magic when he’s at his best. It’s not fair really.. when he’s playing with similar passion as Mack he’s truly unrivaled in this world. And Mack manufactures rage and passion every time he’s on the ice. It’s one of the main things that sets him apart. Hard to teach what he can bring to the sport. If mikko found the same drive he’d be very close to as good.
