GDT: Avalanche vs Flyers 1/20/24 @ 11:00AM MNT

[John Mandalorian]

RyJo is so useless not sure why we don’t just give Olofsson his line mates back so we can at least have a 1st line, 3rd line and 4th line again

You do know why. Bednar isnt the one buying the groceries.

To be fair, our second line has been playing way better than it has any reason to. Those three really do mesh extremely well together. I'd be ecstatic if they were our 3rd line.

 

[John Mandalorian]

It is a NHL Network game so more blackout restrictions apply

My aversion to creating a Fubo account precludes my from being able to watch.

Have they tried a line of Lehkonen - Johansen - Nichushkin?

Its not possible now of course, but in theory, it might work if Lehkonen and Nichushkin are doing all the work (so Johansen doesnt have to).

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Damn, Tough to watch those forward lines. First line great, but then.. Second line is fine as a third line.

Fourth is AHL level, if that.

I don't remember them trying those 3 together. JD wasn't producing at the start of the season, so they always had Lehky or Nuke with MacK and Mikko.

Just the reverse of the helicopter line, it definitely could work

They started the season with that as their second line. It went for a couple games, the top line started with Drouin on it

Wow. I don't remember that at all.

 

[Ceremony]

If I ever end up in a coma I'm pretty sure you could bring me out of it by playing the music Altitude uses when they come back from an ad break.

Two 2 way players of the caliber of Nichushkin and Lehkonen shouldnt be required to prop up a player like Johansen. Just on principle alone since Johansen makes well more than both. But also, does that line become worthless if you have to mobe either one to another line for whatever reason?

 

[sethro109]

Flyers are dominating to start this game.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Oh good, Makar looks like he’s hurt already

 

[SirLoinOfCloth]

Dermy with the strong back check. Love this guy.

 

[Hennessy]

Fixed. Thanks.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

CMac should get executive of the year for his amazing ability to sit on his hands

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Good time to take a penalty

 

[sethro109]

What a stupid penalty to take.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

We have them exactly where we want them, with all the momentum!

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Good kill

 

[Ceremony]

Defensemen wearing #9 is a war crime. I'm amazed Tortorella is allowing it.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

It’s always good to see how the Avs really are prepared to play their game at any time. Just so consistent, especially with these early games

 

[GeoRox89]

Do the flyers seriously have a bright blue ad on orange jerseys?

Right? It's hideous.
