you mean the middle 6, the top 3 are the only ones doing **** right now.

but, we are only a 4 player team right now. They are the top 4 of the front 6! Support is what is missing and, as Jeasy pointed out, meaning AT LEAST 'a' goal every other game.

McGinn scored some goals on the back of an unsustainable shooting percentage and power play time. He and Handzus were terrible at possession and you can see how well Mitchell has done since those two dead weights were removed. I'm happy for Jamie that he's scored some goals for Colorado but he's seen substantially more ice time with the Avs and is playing with a much better center in Stastny. He's also shooting something like 23% - his performance is a mirage. Allowing a seven-game sample size to color his view of McGinn (while using equally small samples to incriminate Winnik and Galiardi) is what makes Kurz an idiot, along with basically everything else that's come out of his mouth this season. For all his "insider" knowledge he appears to also be incapable of actually understanding what he's seeing when watching a player or he wouldn't be lauding McGinn for his contributions in teal.

I don't agree with you on much... but Handzus has been dragging his linemates down all year. McGinn is proving the Sharks system and/or Handzus was a huge reason why he didn't produce more. That and the coach not using him properly and more.

McGinn is a beast... I knew this trade was stupid. And I knew his first game with the Avs wasn't some fluke like fat Bernier's 1st was with Buffalo after the Campbell trade either... Yes I'm totally bragging about my own predictions and I don't care.

Should have signed Wellwood for peanuts, should have kept McGinn. Doug Failson and the Koala should have their pink slips pro-cessed whether or not we squeak into the playoffs or not honestly. What a joke.

Kurz is a joke too but losing J Mac for 3 ghosts really blows.
