Pre-Game Talk: Week 22: Trade Deadline Week. Three at home vs. Hawks, vs. Wangs, and vs. Green Filth.

Duhaime has a unique opportunity to endear himself to Avs fans by smoking a few of his ex-teammates

All he's gotta do is drill Hartman into the boards repeatedly and he's on the right track.

Very important point that Bednar makes in this interview that a lot of people on these boards forget and a few of us have stated a few times already:

I paraphrase but the gist is "People online have no idea how hard it is for a GM to add people to the roster. People say Go get this guy or go get that guy....It is far from easy."

 

[cccoltsicehockey]

Just realized tomorrow nights game is on NHLN. I hate when games are on there. I need to find a reliable kitten. Going to be pissed if I miss the first game with all the new toys.

Has anyone figured out what the holdup is with Nuke getting cleared to play?

Would be nice if he could join on the new faces tomorrow.

Yeah but look at what CMac did in ~26 hours.

I'm imagining an Oprah-like "And You get a new linemate, and You get a new linemate, and a new D partner for you!"

Fvck the mild. {In before morning skate.}

 

[Raucherhusten]

Some positive Nuke news would be nice!

 

[Balthazar]

Some positive Nuke news would be nice!

One has to wonder why it takes this long for the program to clear him to play.

48 hours

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Sounds like Nuke is playing?

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Walker changed his mind and going with #26 now?

Edit: Yep. Avs roster has been updated to show him wearing #26

JD with Mitts? Interesting choice.

 

[VikingAv]

JD with Mitts? Interesting choice.

So, who's their backup tonight? Fleury?

 

[Muffin]

I want Rantanen with Mittelstadt.

 

[cccoltsicehockey]

I want Rantanen with Mittelstadt.

Lehky - Mitts - Rants would be my preference as well

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

If Cheeks is sick and unable to go, they have to call up Prostate or Minor, don't they?

 

[BaconNater]

Sirius NHL radio show with Kouleas, Stewart, and RayCroft and one guy (I think Stewart); says I think MacKinnon has done enough to put himself into 4th name in the Hart trophy race with Kuch, Matthews and McDavid.. haha wth ??

 

[sethro109]

So if Annunen is still sick tonight, can we emergency call up Prostate? Or are we gonna roll wil a emergency backup?

 

[Pokecheque]

JD with Mitts? Interesting choice.

Nuke's gonna yell at both of them "Just shoot it already!"

 

[Tralfamadore]

My preference would be

Drouin-Mack-Nuke
Lehk-Mitts-Rants

 

[lionsDen]

Nuke's gonna yell at both of them "Just shoot it already!"
