We hit 1,000 posts after a loss, but can't even hit 500 after a win. Funny how this board works...

I was carving a pumpkin during the game so my focus wasn't entirely on the game, but wasn't MacKinnon horrible on the PP? I don't like blaming players on mistakes like some of the posters here, but he was definitely to blame for killing the 5v3 by himself. Glad he was great 5v5, but I thought he really struggled on the power play.
And Tanguay, the dude gets one goal like Duchene and goes crazy with confidence after that, him and Iginla both looked like they were 30 years old again. I thought Duchene didn't have a good game yesterday, but as long as I see effort, the points and bounces will come.
Me and my dad were killing ourselves watching him play with so much effort after he scored.I noticed this too. Kind made me laugh how hard they were working and pushing the play following that goal. Hope they do it again tonight.

I thought Varlamov and MacKinnon looked great last night. Other than the MacKinnon turnover on the PP he played great. I also thought Tanguay played his best game of the year. He had a lot of jump and was playing like he was 10 years younger. Iginla wasn't quite as good as Tanguay but he played well too.
Duchene, Landeskog, and Zadarov didn't look good... at all.
Lots of people have been complaining that Duchene gets stuck with Iginla and never gets any decent wingers to play with and that's why he has been struggling. However, put the crap wingers with MacKinnon and they all play great. Meanwhile, Duchene gets to play with the Avs best winger and they both crap the bed. The sample size is obviously way too small however it does make me wonder if it's the wingers bringing Duchene down or Duchene bringing his wingers down.
I agree, MacKinnon is a lot better player and has a much higher ceiling right now.I feel pretty confident at this point in saying Mackinnon is a better hockey player than Duchene so it makes some sense that Iginla looked better with him.
As for Landeskog, he's looked like crap for several games now. All but one of those were with Mackinnon so based on that and the fact that Duchene looked a lot better than Landeskog last night makes me think that maybe Landeskog is just in one of his terrible slumps. He's due for a few every year.

It wasn't working with Igina this year. Tanguay is just as old and slow. They tried Comeau and Skille without any luck. They're trying Landeskog now and so far no good. Other than Grigorenko and Rantanen who is left?Better to me is not Mitchell, Talbot, etc. Landy is the best option Duchene has right now and by default the other one will be a bottom 6 type because we only have one not ancient top 6 winger. I know, Grigo is going to have to get a roll at some point.
