I hate when we play down to our opponents level is that happening right now?

Is Makar getting meaningful ice time?

Yeah pretty much. I don't know how much ice time Makar is getting exactly but I haven't seen him as much as I should be given he's our best defenseman

 

[Statsy]

Good god this is awful!

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Beautiful shot by Makar!

 

[Killahpunk]

PP goal Canada. 4-0.

Mekar.......I'd play the shit out of that guy.

 

[Tralfamadore]

Makar is ridiculous.

 

[End on a Hinote]

I thought yesterday's loss would amp up Canada. But it looks like it has gassed them.

Edit - aaaaaaaand they just scored #4 while I typed the above

 

[Statsy]

PP goal Makar! By popular demand!

 

[jj cale]

Beautiful shot by Makar!

Beautiful rush too, the guy just floats on skates, beautiful skater.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Makar gives me hope for our defensive group in the future. He's been really impressive

 

[Killahpunk]

5-0...

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

5-0! Let's go boys

Sad to know he'll likely still not see any ice time in the elimination rounds.

It's going to be infuriating if you're right. I didn't really know what to expect from him but he's been so damn good

 

[Statsy]

Sad to know he'll likely still not see any ice time in the elimination rounds.

Not necessarily true. The problem is they don't have him on the penalty kill. If we take a bunch of penalties, he sits. If we don't, he plays.

 

[El Travo]

There is zero reason for Makar to not get loads of ice time in the elimination games.

Makar makes me giddy as an Avs fan

He's gonna be a good player for you guys, kid has all the tools.

Good pick.

Timmins and Makar have been Canada's most consistent defencemen. Colorado did well to grab them with their first 2 picks.

I have been really keying in on watching Bean this year because of how much people really love to just pile on the kid...and while yes he wasn't great last year. I really find it weird how people are still on him....Like am I missing something or is it just confirmation bias and people can't get over last year? He has been nothing but solid so far this year from what I have seen....Maybe someone can point out what I am missing?

 

[El Travo]

According to Leafs fans, that's not a penalty.

I have to agree. He's been alright since the exhibition games. He's fine as a bottom pairing, PP guy for Canada.

 

[Killahpunk]

Discipline boys.

 

[Tralfamadore]

Dube getting too emo

Definitely not as bad as last year but I think people are still having nightmares. He hasn't been as noticeble in a good way. Clague has taken the spot of most dissapointing D for me so far
