Speaking of alums in the Colorado system: anyone know what’s going on Stienburg? Seems
like he barely played at all in the AHL this season, although according to his stats page, he did play on 4/2, which was apparently his first game since early November. Injury?

I'm pretty certain he still has a suspension to serve if he gets another shot in the NHL.

He is listed on the Colorado Eagles roster and he is not designated as "inactive," which a couple of players are.

Malott vs. Malinski is on at the moment. In what is mostly a meaningless game for Colorado, they’re resting a lot of their top players, so Sam is getting time on the top power play unit.

Maliki scores on a gorgeous wrister

From Twitter:
Barron was screaming at Scheifele there calling for that pass?? And then almost scored on it? Who is this man? He’s taking control out there.

I'm always behind but on Friday's 32 Thoughts they talked about Jacob MacDonald potentially joining Makar as the first ever NHL/AHL thirty goal scoring defenseman in the same organization.

A couple of weeks ago they talked about a story where Scrivens had illegally colored tape on his stick and the opposing coach didn't challenge it until the shootout. I didn't remember that.

Has Macdonald been playing D full-time for Colorado this season? I recall San Jose often bounced him around between defense and forward as a “utility player” situation, but maybe that was just a David Quinn coaching strategy.

He's always listed in the box score as D but beyond that I don't know if he has played up at all

Malott gifted his first NHL point, an assist, on a goal from Harvards Alex Laferriere.

Tough season for Cole Bardreau and the Bridgeport Islanders, who set an AHL record for the fewest home wins in a season. Their home record was 4-28-1-3 and they were outscored by 70 goals at home. Their overall record was 15-48-7.
Cole played in 65 games and had 4 goals and 14 assists. His plus-minus of minus-6 was actually one of the better marks on the team. That doesn't mean he had a good season, though. According to this article:
Cole Bardreau and Tyce Thompson, two guys the team needed to be key contributors as veterans, failed. They combined for 39 points (Bardreau 18 pts, Thompson 21).

Barron scores his first career playoff goal on a deflection to put Winnipeg up 2-1 on STL in the first period of Game 1.

Barron just scored his 1st career playoff goal on a pretty tip-in to put the Jets up 2-1 in the 1st period over the Blues. He’s started to find the back of the net more often. since being moved to center late in the regular season.

Unfortunately (not for Winnipeg), Barron’s goal was awarded to another Jets player who also got a stick on it.

Malinski is scratched for game 1 of the Colorado-Dallas seriee.

Really strange that Malinski is a scratch. He played pretty much the whole season with them and was really turning it on as of late. Ah well, wonder if Mallott can make the squad for LA.

Manson is back and Johnson kills penalties. I think we'll see Malinski at some point.

I missed that Shane signed a new ATO with Norfolk and is on their playoff roster.

Looked like the D including Erik Johnson may have gotten beat by the Dallas player on the winning goal. Maybe Malinski will slot in next game as a result.

Or Miles Wood turned it over at the blueline and then skates right past a sitting puck.

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 Bâby" 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.

You guys do realize we have a St. Louis blues Cornell connection probably more important than Barron/malinski/etc going on?

Not that Morgan did a ton to acquit himself later in the game, but he stuck it out with the rest of the Jets and they won the fourth-longest game seven in NHL history (after the latest tying goal in NHL game seven history).

Bring on Dallas!

EDIT: Apparently THIRD longest game seven in NHL history by the time it actually ended. Zoiks.

Even though he wasn't superb in the faceoff dot tonight, I saw several strong shifts from him in both OT periods, and Arniel must have a lot of faith in his play as he was 5th among Winnipeg forwards in ice time with 26:42.

Fair - and he wasn't afraid to put his body in play, like always - but he also looked a step behind the Blues most of both OTs.

I watched only the first overtime, when he was chasing the play the whole time. TBH I was terrified he was going to get a hook or an interference and put them down a man. That would have been suboptimal.

Boy, he tries, though! He is busting his ass every second out there, and that is wonderful to see.

I think the whole taking a skate blade to the face and getting 75 stitches only to return later in the same game situation back in the 2023 playoffs forever endeared Barron to his teammates (and Jets fans):
