I'm excited to see a healthy team... Are Avs if healthy really as good as they look? We could really be a force for years IMO....

They won't be healthy. No team is healthy. Some players are playing hurt with bad injuries while others are still banged up and hurting.
Just got a score update saying duchene will miss the first two games at minimum. While I expected it, I hate to see it confirmed. I hope he gets back to practice soon.

Did anyone else manage to hear this? I can't find it on the podcast. Granted I did not listen to the entire 3 hours but its not at the beginning of hour two nor is it in the Avs section.
When they made some comment about "he was out there skating at practice" it was in reference to 2010.
Maybe I'm going crazy
In hour 1, they Clough says "Matt Duchene was on the ice, he wasn't on the ice today" and then he goes on to say he'll likely miss the whole first round. It's with like 26 minutes left in the first hour.Did anyone else manage to hear this? I can't find it on the podcast.

It didn't make much sense, and I don't think he skated today. I would imagine he starts skating this weekend.

Thanks Noob Noob
I am being cautiously optimistic with Dutchy. I think we will see him, let's just hope he is healed enough to be effective.
I really hope we get Mitchell back soon. I have not heard much about his progression from injury. Has anyone seen/heard that he is skating or working out at all?

Yesterday Roy said he was improving every day. My guess is he's back by next week.

Found that odd too...
I chalked it up to something that happened to me when I did Sports Writing in College. We had one of our "Star WR's" miss a practice and was set to miss another one, so the Copy Editor (who I was NOT) had that set to go in the Online copy. I submitted my story-update that he had in fact returned to practice and looked as good as ever, and had a quote from the Coach that it was just a minor shoulder injury and he was good to go for the next game. The Copy Editor or whoever approved the Online version of my story did not take out the blurb that was set to be there before posting it.
I can tell you who took the blame for that one, it was me, despite me not having written that he would miss another practice.
Then again...AD could have believed he was going to miss another one and had that ready to go and then didn't take that out when Hejda did in fact return to practice today.

Have seen him pop up on Twitter the last few days. Who is he? He hardly has any followers but has been tweeting good avs stuff the last few days.

I believe someone said that he would be following the Avs for the same paper that Russo works for (The Tribune?)
Interesting to see that they're trying to get some balanced coverage on that aspect.

This. He is helping out with the Star-Tribune's coverage for the series. He is a great follow for Avs news (the Post should hire him to replace Dater... he is already doing a better job
).

What was the suspected nature of Hejda's injury, I don't recall. Was it a wrist?
A bit concerned with that given his role on the top pairing. He'll need strength in that wrist to battle opposing forwards, and help EJ in moving the puck up ice. Kind of a tough little injury for defenseman to deal with.
