Pre-Game Talk: 2021-2022 Colorado Avalanche in-season thread - Part II: American Turkey Time

Can't wait to be fully healthy for one period.

Let's just start with a shift and go from there.

And technically, Compher's still out, so...

Oh snaps, forgot he existed.

Kaut is also in a normal practice jersey.

 

[Avsboy]

Kaut is also in a normal practice jersey.

Thank God

 

[Tralfamadore]

Toronto is gonna be tough. I'm happy with L-W-W this week. I'll be at the Ottawa game so I'm happy Mack is coming back and if Kale or Bo get injured on the back to back I'll shit a brick.

 

[JoeSakic13]

My family is all from Toronto and the Leafs have only beat the Avs at home twice since 2007. So I'm all for adding to that dismal record.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

So....


Landy - Mack - Mikko
Nuke - Kadri - Bura
LOC - Newhook - NAK
Helm - Jost - Kaut


For lines maybe? Am I forgetting anyone?

 

[missionAvs]

Thank God

This made me lol hard. Well played.

Looks about right…I’m curious who sits when Compher is back.

Nobody cause somebody will get hurt. Avs Hockey Baby!

 

[LTC Pain]

Probably Kaut will be sent back to the Eagles. Unless he gives Management reason to keep him up.

 

[Avs71]

I personally believe you don’t just default to a system that has given the Avs troubles in the playoffs, and that is stacking the top line.

The team has been rolling for 8 games. Keep the two current top-6 lines together and get MacKinnon back in working hard on his own.

Newhook-MacKinnon-NAK
Landeskog-Rantanen-O’Connor
Nuke-Kadri-Bura
Helm-Jost-Megna

You could probably get away with playing the 4th line around 8 minutes.

I have a hard time seeing Bednar inserting Kaut into the lineup. I think we'll still see Megna in there.

Completely forgot about him. You’re definitely right.

Compher.

 

[Pokecheque]

Compher.

Seriously though, I'm pretty sure it'll be Megna.

Hockey gods, when Byram returned:

 

[forsbergavs32]

Welp, the expected Murray injury has happened. JMFJ to the rescue

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Knew it was coming though, Murray is even more injury prone then the rest of the Avs roster.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

 

[Muffin]

Thank god the obsession with a right hand shot on the bumper on PP1 is over, Kadri is so much better than whatever right handed bum they put there.

 

[AvsGuy]

Well at least Ryan Murray showed us a whole lot of nothing on the ice before getting seriously injured

LOC doesn’t belong on the top line. So many plays die on his stick. Top line really hasn’t been good at all ever since MacKinnon went down. Two of Rantanen’s goal were on the PP last game and the other one was a mixed up line during a change. Put LOC with Newhook and NAK, Jost can be 4C.
