I want 6-8 shots from Lando per game. Ima be keeping an eye on that stat the next few games. Kid has an awesome shot. Needs to hammer it
Yeah, he should play like McGinn does. He is better at doing it than Jamie as well.

I'm a Stastny defender so take this FWIW...but I thought he looked good save for OT when he looked gassed. His line got better as the game went along.
Varly was just spectacular. Too bad they could not get him that 2nd point.
Shoulda used Jones instead of Mitchell in the SO.
Stastny was thoroughly mediocre and outplayed by the likes of John Mitchell, Cody Mcleod, and Chuck Kobasew.
Yah just like I was talkin non sense about Duchene being injured. Watch Stastny the guy just couldnt care less out there and his stat line shows it. Yah he was good defensively but hes getting paid to put the puck in the net or atleast I dont know make a pass that connects with one of his teammates.
Avs made sure to finish every check on Stuart today, but did it in a clean manner. Good way of reminding him that Avs remember.

I don't like how Landeskog is changning his game from last season. Might have something to do with how he played in Sweden. He came in, was hitting everybody, shooting from every angle. Dominating. Then he was trying to convert to some playmaker and that seems to be the case here too. He is keeping the puck too long trying to be smart, finding those perfect passes. Should go back to what he knows best and turn viking mode back on.
He wont get as many goals as long as they refuse to play him in front of the goal on the PP, but he would still be alot more effective than he is right now.
Stastny quit producing when the Avs started going away from a PMD, I don't think that is a coincidence. If Stastny moves on, he will start to produce offensively again.
Thats one thing I love about McGinn. It pisses me off that he can't finish the way he was last season but every game I swear it seems like he has 25-50% of our shots, be it on goal, blocked or wide, he is not afraid to shoot. Need more players like him and Johnny Malkin
Had he changed his game playing in Sweden or has it just been the past three games? I never saw any footage of him in Sweden during the lockout.
We have Barrie who can push the puck up pretty good. His problem is his compete level its just non existent. He doesnt fight for loose pucks the way he could. The guy has skills yet he plays like hes Jeff Odgers with the puck.
When he came into Sweden, he was dominating, hitting and shooting at everything. Just like he did last season. But then I guess he felt like he should be more creative at that level, I mean the 2nd tier league in Sweden, and he was converting to a playmaker and it didn't work at all and alot of fans were frustrated at him for not playing the style he does best. And didn't even mind him leaving when his contract expired.
It looks like he has brought that to the NHL now, but I hope someone has a word with him about that real soon.
Hahah good luck with that. If we had a coach he would prolly sit Lando down and show him footage of games he had last season and what made him successful...but we dont have a coach.
Yeah love him too. I'm so glad they finally started to use the analyst during both intermissions. I never understood why they were using them only in the first period in the previous years. COL must have been the only team in the NHL to do that. All you would get in the second intermissions was commercials. It was so frustrating.Friggin Rycroft talking about Dorritos being a good chip pack too at the end of the day, haha. He's the best thing by far involving any Avalanche coverage. Guy is an awesome combination of goofiness, honest critique, and some smart analysis.
I don't think Landeskog has changed his game. He's just not played all that much and has yet to find his stride. Of all the things to worry about, that should be the last one.

It's actually a good point that the couple of shifts where Stastny was most effective today came with some quick transition passes from Barrie. Still, the effort just isn't there. It's bizarre, he's even been worse defensively and on faceoffs lately. He isn't winning puck battles along the boards. Either he's pulling a Gomez and truly regressing or he just doesn't care out there, one or the other.
The day we trade him everyone will be so disappointed at the return. He will be a pending UFA coming off a couple of bad season. Look at the return Derek Roy and Mike Ribeiro got. It's gonna be like the Liles-trade.
