Are they in playoff contention?

About two weeks ago someone slapped together something outlining what would have to happen for the Avalanche to make the playoffs. It was inconceivably difficult and completely hilarious.

Fine..Eakins was awful with those young players

Life as a coach gets pretty easy when your GM makes trades for Larsson and Talbot, drafts Connor McDavid, and signs Sekera and Lucic. Management simply screwed him over.

Who were Eakins' goaltenders?

Saw Chimera last night at the Rinx. He coaches the spring team one age group above my son. I thought he would be bigger

Fixed.

*stroke, stroke...*

I would say it was the most definitive lopsided trade of the last decade.

Just finished looking, and yup you're right.

So you peeked at the urinal?

Let's play another game. Name one other team that's in playoff contention that Phil Kessel would play only on the 3rd line?

Chemistry matters, dude. JT likes having Bailey on his line. It's his choice. And who else is feeding him the puck for majority of his goals this year? He almost had another primary assist against WPG when he fed the puck to Pelech and Pelech just didn't finish.

lets play another game. what other team has a crosby malkin combo that allows kessel to be on the 3rd line? maybe chicago

He's listed at 6'3", even if that's fudged a little....isn't that still a pretty big dude?

But again, chemistry matters. Kessel also does play with them on the PP. I forgot about that part. Furthermore, Crosby and Malkin are way better than JT individually. Just saying.

And so was mine

I'm not disagreeing. My point was that chemistry matters. Who knows how Phil would've fit with Crosby or Malkin 5 on 5? If he works best in the 3rd line, put him there.

I fixed it
