His interview went along the lines of "it's never good when a player doesn't come back" and "well see tonight or tomorrow morning"

I don’t really see any reason to elevate Rossi just yet. I want him to string a few good games together so keeping him in this line for a bit longer seems fine. Would rather he move up to PP1 to get so actual powerplay time, especially if Boldy is out.

It's more about getting Zuccarello away from Kaprizov (and the top six in general)

Yeah didn't look good. Also surprised by that Gus collapse after he played so well against Florida.

Yeah, can't imagine it had anything to do with the garbage defense by several players who would be 6/7 guys on most teams in the rest of the league. Wouldn't be that at all.

Would’ve liked Gus to have Matthews’ 3rd goal and the PPG. But he also had some really nice saves too.

That was not a great game to watch with a nephew in law (that a real relative thing?) who is a die hard Avs fan. 
It's painful how badly this team needs Spurgeon back. Teams are going to keep feasting on Middleton - Goligoski on the road.
Middleton, goose, Addison, merril. We've got 1 legit pairing right now (and it's good). We need Spurg back bad... and another top 4 d.
Edit. I'll withdraw Middleton. He's fine in the top 4 with a decent partner. That said, I'd still like another 2nd line pairing dude
Zuccarello has to start shooting the puck more rather than attempting high risk, cross ice passes to Kaprizov. Then there's his play in the neutral and D zones... his 5 v5 play is not good right now.
What on earth possessed Guerin to re-sign he, Hartman, and especially, Foligno so early in the year?

I don't pay attn to the prospects near as much as some of you guys do. Are any of Lambos, Hunt, O'Rourke or Spacek even close to being able to make the jump or at least come up and get plugged in for a few games?

I don’t think a contending team has a Middleton remotely close to the top 4, but you’re right in saying with the right partner he can be serviceable. But I’m sick of serviceable.
Middleton is fine as a 3rd pair big body. Merril shouldn’t be anywhere near an nhl roster. He can’t hockey

Guessing we got about 2 full season of mostly "serviceable" unfortunately.

I was out of town so I couldn't see this one, but it sounds like people are missing Dumba, hey?
I did get to catch the highlights. Looked like there were some soft goals given up by Gus, two or three of them. The defense also looked soft or inept. I noticed that from Middleton, Goligoski, and Addison. I'd say the 7 goals against was a group effort by all these named players.
I loved seeing Rossi score! Yeah boy, you're doing it!

Well, 'decent' is definitely better than below mediocre. But, beyond that, I don't see that he moves the needle much past where the defense was in last nights game.
