and Malinski with an assist on the 1st goal of the game, a 4-on-4 goal by Nichushkin

Nichushkin entered the zone holding the puck, did a loop and a half, lost his defender, and scored.
Only in hockey does anybody get an assist on a goal like that.

Maybe this goes here but I just could hear "Hey Baby" playing on the organ in Montreal.  Must be getting ready for another physical one

For one reason or another, Morgan Barron appears to have led Jets forwards in ice time in their loss today.

He got a lot of ice time in the third once they were trailing pretty badly.

On the flip side of that coin, Malott and the rest of the Kings' 4th line (along with their 3rd D pairing) were benched for essentially the entire third period and OT last night, leading to the Kings gassing out completely and getting dominated by the Oilers before Draisaitl's OT winner (after LA controlled most of the first two periods of the game). Kings fans this morning are scratching their heads about this "strategy", especially given that several of the Kings' "top" players are older and well past their prime (Doughty, Kopitar, etc.) It seems like a lot of fans were complimentary of the physical play of Malott's line during the early parts of the game, before the coaching staff decided to pivot to a 13-man lineup at the end.

The Kings' coaching staff was already facing a lot of heat after their botched challenge in Game 3 led to Edmonton's GWG on the power play.

Malott and the Kings were eliminated by EDM in game 6 last night, while Malinski's Avs live to fight another day, forcing a Game 7 on Saturday. Barron and Winnipeg are looking to close it out in 6 tonight against STL.

The Avs win was fueled in part by Harvard's Colin Blackwell putting it in his own net.

Malinski almost got an assist on that play too, until the own goal made it "unassisted" for MacKinnon.

Lmfao. Classic Harvard.

Barron joined Malott and Malinski in having a nice goal wiped out due to a challenge for offsides last night. If that wasn't bad enough, Winnipeg got thumped 5-3 and will go to Game 7 on Sunday.

With the Avs' unfortunate third-period collapse, penultimate Cornellian Stanley Cup hopeful Sam Malinski makes his exit from the playoffs. (At least his early penalty only resulted in a SHG for Colorado.) That leaves only Morgan Barron, with the Jets' own game seven against the Blues tomorrow night. Would've been nice to see an Avs-Jets series, guaranteeing a Cornell alum in the conference finals, but not so much.

Barron's line starting the game so he'll be taking the opening face off.
