No ESPN+ for me so I missed the game last night. Sounds like it was a good one for a change against our kryptonite team. Lots of different guys scoring so that's a good sign as we ramp up for the playoffs.

It was great to watch that demon exorcised last night. Yurov scored a beauty on an end to end rush.

My guess is Tarasenko will be the next odd man out when Marcus returns. With everybody healthy I suspect Hynes will try to implement some sort of rotation between Sturm, Yurov, Tarasenko, Trennin, McCarron, Brink, Marcus and Nick so they all get ice time. We will need them all to make a run and odds of everybody staying healthy is pretty slim. It sure is a better option than who do we call up from Iowa....

That was a great shot. Zero margin for error.

That cut back to the middle is a perfect example of someone with great edges.

I hope they give Yurov another shot at centering KK and Zuccarello. I'd rather bank on his ceiling than Hartman's floor in the playoffs.

I think will sit the most. He is apparently in the doghouse.

And it showed his strength and power to get off that shot and maintain his balance. A sign of more things to come and look forward to.

Who do you think will sit? Hartman or Tarasenko?

Is Foligno really healthy?

I like the competition......Skor North mentioned how Yurov and Tarasenko seemed to be playing way more agressively.....

WAY back, when Tarasenko was playing with the Blues, I remember watching him and thinking "Man, I'd love that guy to be on my team."

So when we picked him up I was pretty happy, even understanding that several years had gone by and he probably wasn't quite the same player. He isn't, but he's still pretty damn good, and there are times when he looks like the same guy.

And one of the reasons I'm a big Yurov fan is, having watched the "Becoming Wild" episode on him, it's impossible not to see the fire in him - and his whole family is just so sweet and supportive of his goals, even though it meant taking him VERY far away from home. He's just a "feel-good" person and player that you want to see be successful.

Back in those days when we played the Blues Tarasenko scoring was as inevitable as Death and Taxes. I remember no other player who scored against us so consistently.

The best thing to me about the added depth is that we now have guys slotted where they should be. No more propping up a guy like Hartman to the first because there's, basically, nobody else.

It seems to me it was Patrick Kane who ended our seasons over and over again....
