Or maybe he's on a talented team, can't forget that.lolz Avs broadcast has former ref Don Koharski going on the record saying the goal should be overturned. of course it's not though. takeaway: none of these bozos know what they're doing
also: our boy Lehkonen gets power play time on the consensus favorite to win the cup? maybe he's better than we realized during his time here? he used to take a good amount of criticism i recall.
I've watched a handful of Avs games since he joined them and he definitely gets looks that he would never ever get here in Montreal. Habs are typically a garbage team when it comes to playmaking.
He is on a team that sets up more good plays/passes in one game than we did in 10.
I agree, but 'right call' and 'what was called' can be two different things.
He is a good player but when he was here he wasted a lot of prime scoring opportunities, it's good seeing him do well.
The problem for me is we did not really try. I mean we tried when we got Vanek and Petry but then after that we stood pat for a while watching Price and Weber getting older while acquiring some depth but what we really needed was a first line center.
He was always good in the playoffs. Scored 6 goals in 33 playoffs game here which is a pace of 15 goals in 82 games so not bad for a guy used as a middle six forward. He had the tendency to fall asleep in the regular season though but he's getting older so maybe he'll find more consistency in the upcoming years. Avs will likely not be able to retain both AB and VN so i think Lehkonen is a good addition as an insurance policy for next season.
He works his tail off and is much more valuable on a stacked team in Colorado, it's good to see him do well.
