Inb4 Malkin pushes Bernier into net and then puts puck in and the ref is like "lol that's fair"
Never would have happened with Orr and McLaren on the ice I tell ya hwhat.
...he would have scored on the breakaway.

I remember that game. That was the game where we didn't get a single shot in the final 25 minutes
IMO its time for Kadri to be the no. 1 center on this team. Not just for 2 games. If Edmonton can use an 18 year old RNH, what are we waiting for. I want to see this kid take the lead. How else are you going to know what you have and what to pay.
The top 6 is weak defensively.
We need a trade:
JVR-Kadri-RW
LW-Bozak-Kessel
or
LW-Kadri-Kessel
JVR-Bozak-RW
The Nuge is only 18 lolwut? Who else would they use?
Kadri still doesnt even get defensive zone starts.
It is quite funny they go out and get depth so they can run 4 competent lines who's ice time do they cut? The second line... They really can't have Kessel and co playing 21 mins a night. Especially when they look as sluggish as they did last night.

You realize that Kadri's Corsi numbers are probably skewed because he legit, and this is not a lie, only starts in the defensive zone once or twice a game.They touched on why they couldn't do that a bit in the pre-game.
I could be wrong on the stat they were using for their argument, but i think that Kadri's Corsi stayed around the same whether he was with Kessel and JVR or not, but Bozak's Corsi plummeted when he was taken from the top line. The squeaky wheel gets the grease, as they say...
I'm one of the biggest bozak supporters, but it's apparent that's he's not on the same level as Kessel and JVR out there anymore.

Yup, away from Kessel, his numbers go way down as shown last night.
When Kadri is on the ice, he usually finishes in the offensive zone, and starts more in the d-zone then you lead on to.
If Bozak could improve on his shooting, he could up his goals dramatically. JVR and Kessel set him up so much in front of the net for golden opportunities. Guy often misses open nets. That's the area of his game that needs improvement.
