Babchuk is going to need a few games to get into game shape as well. Not sure why anybody expected him to charge right in after two games played. Heck, everyone else seems to be just getting up to speed now after thirteen games.
Regardless, good character building win tonight. Really happy Stajan and Horak got goals tonight. Both of them deserved it. MacDonald needs a couple more starts to get a little more steady but it is quite clear he isn't fighting the puck as much as Irving was.
I will be honest though. Any ideas I had been entertaining about hoping Kipper would be traded have quietly gone by the wayside. What's that old saying? You don't know what you got 'til it's gone? Yeah, I want kipper back and someone, somewhere should be paying boatloads of money to have him cloned so we never have to know what it's like ever again what life is like w/o Kipper.
