The Avalanche vs. Kraken series hasn't gotten a lot of hype. But is it producing the best hockey? 'It is fast out there, it is hard-hitting ... it’s a lot of clean 'go-go' hockey.'
. Both have been good fits and historically, this just doesn’t happen very often in the NHL with goalies — that you can graft someone onto your team at the 11th hour and have it work. It’s a point I raised with McLellan. He’s been around long enough now to understand a) how rare it is for teams to try and adjust their goaltending, via trade, in-season; and b) that when it occasionally did happen, it rarely worked.
“I haven’t — not at the NHL level,” said McLellan. “The best memory or past history that I have with goaltending is in Detroit. In ’08 when we won the Cup, it was Dominik Hasek. It was going to be Dom and he played very well. But there was a time that we had to make a change and Chris Osgood, who’s a hell of a goaltender as well, went in and finished it off. Sometimes you need two.”
Maloney seems uniquely qualified to put out the fires because that’s all he ever had to do in his previous gig, running the. He was GM there for nine years and he spent a lot of that time putting out fires, because of the team’s uncertain ownership. Maloney won the first-ever NHL General Manager of the Year Award in 2010, though he immediately ruled himself out of contention for the position full-time, noting he wanted to turn to someone younger.
This isn’t always a satisfying outcome for fans necessarily, because they want answers, and they want them now.
