RudoHOST
And then they just kinda don't do a whole lot else for the rest of the third period.
RudoHOST
Sam Malinski falls asleep on the backside of a play with a minute left, and, uh, they lose.
RudoHOST
[blows raspberry] Kyle Connor gets 'em.
Bailey CurtisHOST
[laughs]
34 MINS LATER
RudoHOST
... on the night, though
Bailey CurtisHOST
...
Bailey CurtisHOST
this is exactly what I was gonna go into next is the Sam Malinski, Brett Kulak pairing.
Bailey CurtisHOST
And taking Sam Malinski out of the equation for me-
Nick LynumHOST
When things have gone sideways for him, we've seen the kind of sulk in his game, right? I thought what was impressive for an 18-year-old kid still doing high school cl- classes, that's crazy, um, after a play like that is I felt he responded very strongly.
Nick LynumHOST
We saw that one play where he burns Sam Malinski wide and finds, uh, Isak Rosén net front.
Nick LynumHOST
Another tough night.
Nick LynumHOST
I feel like the, the offense goes to Diane Isak Rosén's stick, and I think that's where the Hellebuyck upgrade's gonna really come from at this point.
Connor McGeheeHOST
And this is launched in by Ferraro.
Connor McGeheeHOST
Kulak with it in his skates off the end boards and for Malinski.
Connor McGeheeHOST
Back for Kulak.
Connor McGeheeHOST
He pushes through center ice.
AllisonHOST
That's a big name.
AllisonHOST
How does he fit in with Makar and Toews? Are they pairing him with Sam Malinski or Josh Manson?
DerekHOST
Manson?Burns brings experience, but his mobility isn't what it used to be.
DerekHOST
Pairing him with Malinsky makes sense defensively.
RudoHOST
Bailey.
Bailey CurtisCORRESPONDENT
I feel like with, uh, a lot of our questions surrounded Parker Kelly and the replicating of his last season, um, I'm curious your thoughts on Sam Malinski and, and the season he had last year, fantastic season-
Jared BednarSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Yeah
Bailey CurtisCORRESPONDENT
... as far as production goes for a guy like him-
20 MINS LATER
AJ HaefeleHOST
For sure.
RudoHOST
But it, there's a clock.
AJ HaefeleHOST
I will say, both of the recent undrafted success stories for the Avalanche, Logan O'Connor and Sam Malinski, were successful-
RudoHOST
It took a little-
AllisonHOST
At his age, his mobility is crucial.
AllisonHOST
If Winnipeg cycles hard, can Burns handle the pace alongside Josh Manson and Sam Malinski? [chime]
DerekHOST
Burns brings size and shot blocking.
DerekHOST
He's not trying to skate circles around people anymore.
Brian ComHOST
When he was still there, Bo Byram, not productive.
Brian ComHOST
So I don't know why we might have expected any different from Sam Malinski, and I, I think the biggest concern for us and anyone else rostering Malinski, he's down on the third pair, played only 15 and a half minutes in the last game.
Brian ComHOST
He played 14 and a half the first game, so that's an improvement.
Brian ComHOST
But he was playing almost 18 minutes a night on average last year.
AJ HaefeleHOST
Uh, just to go through the players who didn't record a point, Svechnikov and Hughes on the forward side.
AJ HaefeleHOST
Defensive side, Kulak, Ullison, and Malinski.
Nathan RudolphHOST
Yeah.
AJ HaefeleHOST
Okay.
48 MINS LATER
AJ HaefeleHOST
But especially on a night where you didn't love Devontae's play defensively, you didn't love Burns and Manson defensively.
AJ HaefeleHOST
Cal Makar maybe had a quieter night.
AJ HaefeleHOST
You can have impact without scoring points too, and I know you got some, uh, Malinski, Kulak numbers over there.
Nathan RudolphHOST
I do indeed.
HodgeHOST
But again, he's 24, he's not 18.
HodgeHOST
He's played a lot of hockey, you know? It's almost like a Malinski coming in, right? Malinski's 27.
PaulHOST
It is.
PaulHOST
It's exactly like a Malinski thing.
HodgeHOST
So Malinski came in...
HodgeHOST
Right.
HodgeHOST
Right.
PaulHOST
Yeah.
Dominic PrestaHOST
Second pair is solid, man.
Dominic PrestaHOST
Brett Kulak and Sam Malinski.
Dominic PrestaHOST
Now, I have a little, have a little take here.
Dominic PrestaHOST
So I'm gonna start with Kulak.
Dominic PrestaHOST
That'll go with 138 blocks.
Dominic PrestaHOST
The points didn't start last night, okay? But they will, trust me.
Dominic PrestaHOST
And I think that production is gonna replace his pairing guy, his, uh, his partner there, Sam Malinski.
Dominic PrestaHOST
So that was a sudden breakout from last season, 40 points in all 82 games with just one of those coming from the power play.
