Avs looked great, but I am still concerned about the amount of high-end chances we gave a Hawks team (which we allowed back into the game). Kuemper was bloody fantastic, for those emo posts I made earlier in the week I hope I am wrong because I want him to do good. It was also very refreshing to see a goaler not get beat high-glove on every other shot. I think Avs odd-man rushes against has to deal with the defence and I think Makar didn't have a good game today in terms of picking his spots (his first game though, so not going to be harsh at all). I didn't like Girard today, he looked limited in his game and was absolutely surpassed by Byram in every shape and form.
All the standouts today forward-wise has already been mentioned, I have a lot of good things to say about almost everyone including Helm, Nuke, and O'Connor. As for Compher, every time he kills a scoring chance or takes a ridiculous penalty, always remember we could've had Saad burying those chances or being a better team player by not taking lazy penalties for one million more.
