GDT: Game 28: Vegas Golden Knights @ Edmonton Oilers | 7:00PM | Full Game Effort

Well. The Ducks just scored 5 goals in a row to beat the Caps 6-5.

So we get a nice and pissed Washington team next. That should be fun.

Yup. Suddenly not looking like such a great spot for the VGKs. Maybe time to give Malcolm another shot.

Lol. If there's a time to give Malcom another chance, Tuesday is not it.

My theory being if taking on a pissed off Caps team is likely a loss anyway, then a rest for Flower and no blame on Malcolm if things go bad since it was vs the Caps. Sort of a lose, win, win situation.

Malcolm needs to win a game for many reasons.

He should be competing with Dansk or Lagace.



In Chicago....

You’ve got to risk losing him to do that, and I like the team a lot more with him than without. If Dansk or Lagace were tearing it up in Chicago, I might feel differently.

In an ideal world, Subban would be in Chicago to regain some confidence. But I agree with BattleBorn, without Dansk or Lagace tearing it up the risk is too great that we lose Subban to waivers without someone better to replace him.

He's really stuck in an awful place, not awful enough to guarantee no one wants him, but awful enough you really don't want to play him if you can avoid it.

I still miss Pickard.

Okay, so maybe my short-term long-term strategy of sacrificing Malcolm to the Caps in a very losable (is that a word?) game in order to get Flower some rest not the best idea.

I'll get back to everyone with a new and improved plan!

Or not.

But surely we'll see Malcolm this weekend on the back-to-back. Which one, I'm not sure. Guess the Kings would be the obvious choice, but hate to lessen our chances in a division game. Plus, the Kings have Leipsic now so it's gonna be a tough game.

Or maybe vs the Hawks Thursday and force Flower into another back-to-back? Doubt that's gonna happen.

So many questions, so few answers.

I actually would not have been opposed to picking up Darling and losing Malcolm altogether. Darling may be a rebuild project, but you can't get anyworse than 30 and his guaranteed losses this year. Id love to be proven wrong this weekend.

I personally haven’t seen much from Malcolm that makes me think he’s any worse than last season. I’d definitely like to see him with the full D corps at least two or three times.
