Knee, yeah.Pretty sure that puck hit EJ in the leg. Maybe high inside ankle or around the knee, not sure.
Had Varly as my Draftkings goalie tonight. I wanted 2 goals tops lol
Girard has eleven straight games without a point now.
He's getting much less than that. 6:41 ES minutes tonight. No other player comes close. That's 7th defenseman minutes.I wouldn't put that on him though, he's getting 3rd pairing TOI and is paired with the coach's son.
Sam Girard played less than 10 minutes tonight.
If that's going to continue, send him back to the Q. I don't care if he is too good for it, it serves him better to be playing 25 minutes per night there and to play in the WJC for Canada than it does riding the bench 80% of the game

If that's the case (and I'm not sure it is), it's stupid by the coaching staff. If they are doing that, though, then just send him down now and let the 6 defensemen gel instead of constantly rotating pairings. Playing 7 defensemen does not develop chemistry.I have a feeling that might be what's happening with Girard. They're playing him less to kind of get the other 6 Dmen comfortable in the roles they're in to prepare for letting Girard go.

Barbi was a nice pick up last year, but I think he's need to go. He and Bednar's obsession with him are ruining the development oulf our young defenders. Nemeth and Lindholm are obviously better and he's just taking ice time from Sammy and Zads.
Unfortunately the Avs are not a great team to get good goaltending numbers from. Unless Varly has a 2013-14 season where he stands on his head from start to finish.
Well he's playing a top 4 role on this team when he's clearly a 6 - 7 guy. It seems like everyone, but Bednar sees this.Dunno, I feel like people here are way more obsessed with Barberio than the coach is lol
