He has been surprisingly good, so time to rotate Mazzy normally and see what he can do.
And the D looked much better.
If Soder Popinski keeps this up he might become an NHL goalie. The feel last night for me was like comparing 2012 Crawford to last year's Soder vs 2013 Crawford to this year's Soder. Night and Day. Granted, Crawford was on a much higher echelon.
I may be wrong, but I recall that the bad Soder game this year was a bad team game. Not that it matters much since a bad game by him is a bad game by him, but it wasn't like the rest of the team was putting in an effort and he was leaking like a sieve. I think everyone from LR on down failed miserably.
My bad, I don't know where I saw only two... he has had three.

Wouldn't know as the old Tribune paywall sees to that. I do know that he's projected to score 50 at his current pace. I doubt we'll see anything close to that from a 30 pt a year guy at 28. But it would nice if he kept it up for a bit longer plus he could be a nice piece of deadline trade bait if he did. Always good to keep the turnstyles rolling with young talent. Speaking of young talent....looking forward to seeing what Arty, Oliver and Sacha bring to the table. This team could really use a finisher. I mean the improved passing and puck movement has been getting them some chances but when a guy like Donato is your leading goal scorer....there's a problem.Hyperbole alert.
