Pre-Game Talk: Week to Heal (@NSH, STL)

I think Andrighetto has been one of the better forwards this season outside of the game vs New York

Anybody hear Bednar on the radio this morning? Wouldn't mind hearing a recap since I don't have the ability to listen to Bednar''s boring voice for 10 minutes lol.

So everyone can bitch about and tear apart everything he said? Not a chance.

Especially when you compare him to his linemates.

Hopefully someone asked him about benching Mikko last night. I know the reason but I still wanna hear it haha.

 

[Avs71]

I want to see Kerfoot with MacKinnon. His playmaking, and the fact he is a puck hound, should go well with MacKinnon’s play style.

 

[LieutenantDangle]

jesus this opinion won't die

Fixed

 

[StayAtHomeAv]

jesus this narrative won't die

How do you think he would be used in the AHL? SA isn't exactly loaded with centers.

 

[Alex Jones]

I hope they're talking to Kerf and telling him to SHOOT. THE. PUCK.

I would guess people have been telling him that since Midget hockey. Just the way some people see the ice, not going to change now.

What if the Aves never win again?

Yak-a-mania can never run wild again if that happens.

We have to do everything in our power to make sure the Aves win now.

Time to try

Jost* - MacK - Rantanen
Yak - Duchene - Kerfoot*
Landy - Soda - Compher
Nieto - Wilson - ghetto*

That's ridiculous. Barbario does not even slightly deserve to be in over Bigras.

 

[StayAtHomeAv]

Smart decision.



Terrible decision.

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

I don't agree with Bigras being scratched but we all knew it would happen at some point. His decision to dive in the NZ game last game was horrendous. There was no odd man rush until he took himself out of the play.

He'll be back next game I'd guess.

Are you saying it's time to medicate?

 

[Raucherhusten]

So we are back to "Extreme Line Shuffling" after 2 losses. That was quick. Badass Bednar strikes again.

Who is playing with Matt and Yak btw?

I wouldn't call it "extreme line shuffling." He just swapped out Jost, Kerfoot, and Andrighetto. Yak/Dutch, Mikko/MacK, and Landy/JTC all stayed together. It's not like EVERYTHING is being upended up front.

FTR it looks like Ghetto is going to be on LW with Dutch/Yak, which will still make for a speedy line for sure.

I'll give Bednar credit, a lot of coaches in these situations (like Vigneault in NY right now) just take a grinder and stick them onto a scoring line or something. He's not doing that, in fact he's placing even more trust in a rookie rather than a veteran plugger.

I am curious to see how Kerf does at center though.

He does not have to promote a grinder plug, he already has Landeskog. lol

It's nice to have you on the forum Jared.

So according to AHL transactions Mironov was sent to SA. I was thinking it would be a good time to since they play Fri-Sat-Sun and the Avs don't play until Tuesday and the Rampage have only 6th healthy D. It would be a good chance for a guy like Miro or I would have even been ok with Bigras to get a couple games. Seems it's for conditioning. Wonder if that means just the weekend or what.

Good. I hope it was a mutual conversation they had about how to best move his NHL career forward and there's no resentment. He does clearly need the playing time.
