Pre-Game Talk: (12/4/22 - 12/10/22) Week of pain and suffering, and now who's hurt?

[The Moops]

And better yet we didn't even draft this kid, so our horrible scouts had nothing to do with him.

That's the most hopeful thing I've ever read about him

Believe it or not, Avs are still odds on favorite to win the cup. Updated December 6

Ridiculous. The cup is going to Toronto or Winnipeg.

If they are semi healthy for the playoffs and do solid business at the deadline it's not much of a strech.

Woah, predicting a Canadian SCC before Christmas. Bold strategy. If the Avs don't win, I really don't have a second favorite..I mean, maybe the soft spot I have for Columbus makes them qualify? If given the choice of those two, you know me, Captain Choas would be riding with the Peg.

Winnipeg, beating Toronto....I can almost read the teardrops online, already.

Right now... my money would be on Carolina for the Cup. I think Kochetkov is the real deal. They have absurd depth and Necas and Svech might be on the verge of being their gamebreakers.

A Boston vs. Carolina ECF would be top notch hockey.

I'll believe it when I see it. Every year I think they're going to dominate in the playoffs and that group just seems to struggle, especially on special teams. Aho and Svechnikov have yet to prove they can be gamereakers when it matters most.

I just want to see McAvoy get his comeuppance.

 

[Balthazar]

Helm not ready yet after all

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Helm has been "Close" since mid September

Wtf is going on with Nuke. I think the plan was for both him and Lehkonen to go tonight. Please don’t be a setback.

 

[Balthazar]

I hope this means MacDonald's sits. Englund might kill one of our goalies, but I've been able to stomach him more lately. Especially when compared to Mac-YOLO-Donald.

 

[Chiarelli]

Ridiculous. The cup is going to Toronto or Winnipeg.

I honestly do think this is the year Toronto makes some noise. Not necessarily cup winner but they have the pieces to go on a run and if things fall in place win it all.

 

[Pokecheque]

Live look at the Hunt-Girard pairing in practice.

 

[Balthazar]

 

[Pokecheque]

Well, that's cool. I kinda like that idea.

I would go all in on Horvat if I were them. The center depth is weak. Stastny, Kotka, and Staal are not 2C material.

 

[The Merchant]

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Yay

 

[sethro109]

 

[Pokecheque]

Well...at least they're getting close. Of course as someone else has said, Helm has been "close" for weeks now.

 

[The Moops]

MacD going to play 2C?
