Post-Game Talk: This is a bad hockey team

[Raspewtin]

The stats still show he’s one of the most dangerous and best PKers in the league. There are less than 5 centers in the NHL currently that play PP1 and PK1

you're right that Mika is an outstanding PKer but he's quite subpar defensively at ES. He wasn't always but the last two years he definitely was. I would not call him a good two-way player.

That's just the Buchnevich effect

Nope

Well Buch's PK analytics are better than Mikas

He played one year on the PK.

At the start of last year yes, mika wasnt a good 2 way player, however as mika's offense took off, his defense similarly got better.

Definitely the worst loss of the season. Back to back games coupled with a rookie debut for a goal tender against the most offensively capable team in the league. It was stacked against them, but you still want to see it be competitive. This wasn't.

And yea, it's after a 7 game winning streak, so I'm only bumping this thread in a tongue-in-cheek way. They're going to bounce back.
