I am just still not convinced that getting Yandle was worth the price they paid for him. The only way to justify that trade is winning the cup with him.
Yeah, after two games I think we have the answer...LOL. Relax bro, it will take time for him to get comfortable here. And he has been fine in his two games IMO. I know you are going to lean negative because you didn't like the trade, but you need to have patience...
Yandle might've had a gw if Nash fed him. The fact he gets into the rush like that is a huge plus and part of his allure.
Bottom line, the team has played really well in two games against very good teams. There is nothing to be negative about. Looking forward to seeing this team play moving forward. Be a little more selfish and we'll be fine.
You can't finesse the puck out of your own crease, highly entertaining game though and they got a point. Good riddance to that game fixing bum Davorsky, hopefully he'll be effin up someone else's playoff series. On the first goal McDonough looked like he just released a curling stone as he slid through the crease leaving the front of the goal wide open but Girardi deserves some blame on the last goal, he just stood at the post and didn't engage anyone. I agree with you about McD, don't know if it's the pressure of wearing the "C" or he has some type of injury but I was concerned about his play a few weeks ago then he scored 2 against the Fishsticks. We need that guy for the playoff run.
Yeah i don't why McDonagh is playing a bit tenative and somewhat confused at times. Very bad with the turnovers this year.
They have played well the past two games. They have had also the best record in NHL, since December 15th.
I would go top 4 Staal-Girardi Yandle-Klein McDonagh needs a wake up call. He's been incompetent almost all season.
The Yandle trade was a necessary move and to get a player of his caliber you have to give up something of equal value. Clearly Keith can skate, pass and shoot but he has only practiced with his new teammates a few times. His acquisition gives AV the opportunity to even out the minutes among defensive pairs.
