[Joe Sakic]

Are those our confirmed lines? Because if so I like them. Mitchell is better suited on bottom 6 than he is the top 6.

LETS GO AVS!!!

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

Big 4 point game. Won't be able to catch much of it. Pretty scared about that bottom pairing...and Sarich.

 

[Nihiliste]

Our D is so bad

Any confirmation that ROR is back?

 

[MvpKinnon]

Probably the first game I'm going to miss completely.. Dumb me agreed to hit the bar

 

[falconski]

Oh god, wilson, stollery, and sarich on the back half of a b2b...we're giving up 12 goals tongiht

 

[Hans Landaskog]

Oh god, wilson, stollery, and sarich on the back half of a b2b...we're giving up 12 goals tongiht

Well technically Wilson and Stollery are not playing b2b.

Yes, I know they played last night. Stollery was a -2.

 

[Freudian]

Well technically Wilson and Stollery are not playing b2b.

They did play with LEM last night.

 

[Hans Landaskog]

They did play with LEM last night.

yeah but they didn't play b2b for Avs.

 

[Avs44]

O'Reilly is back for this game? Well that's great news.



What's not great news is the fact that our defense is boasting Sarich, Stollery, and Wilson This could get ugly fast.

 

[freeboy]

anyone want to explain to me how wilson can come back? I thought it was 14 days ?

 

[Nihiliste]

anyone want to explain to me how wilson can come back? I thought it was 14 days ?

Emergency rule probably since we have 3 dmen out.

 

[hockeyfish]

Apparently emergency call-up. But the rules behind the 14 day stint were not all that well defined to begin with.

 

[Nihiliste]

Maybe Suter's wife can take a page from Holden's and have a surprise baby

Or maybe they can sit him out tonight as a courtesy since we're kind enough to ice Stollery

 

[Hans Landaskog]

They already have Koivu and Parise out, what more do you want?

 

[Spender]

Wait, who is Stollery?

 

[tigervixxxen]

O'Reilly is confirmed back. I'm actually interested in seeing what Stollery looks like. Can't be worse than Holden, right?

 

[Hans Landaskog]

O'Reilly is confirmed back. I'm actually interested in seeing what Stollery looks like. Can't be worse than Holden, right?

Let us hope.

 

[Avs For Life]

Oh god our defense...

EJ and Hejda...please carry us tonight.

 

[falconski]

O'Reilly is confirmed back. I'm actually interested in seeing what Stollery looks like. Can't be worse than Holden, right?

well...he beat out hunwick for the callup

 

[Hans Landaskog]

well...he beat out hunwick for the callup

That's because Hunwick.... has been... *cough* the backbone of the LEM defense.....

 

[Avs44]

So it's the Wild's offense without Koivu and Parise versus a defense boasting Wilson, Stollery, and Sarich. This should be good

 

[AvsFanJosh]

There's a Mack thread on main board showcasing his goal he scored against the Islanders and everyone is just loving Mack right now. Also some people are saying he's faster than Duchene. I know Mack is fast but is he really as fast as Duchene or even faster? Someone also said they raced in practice a couple times and Mack apparently won every time. I don't know if this actually happened, but as a huge Duchene fan I don't think he's faster. What do you guys think?

 

[tigervixxxen]

It's kind of hard to compare because Duchene is nimble fast while MacKinnon is explosive fast. I'd say they are at least comparable or even.

 

[AvsFanJosh]

I guess either way, we all get to be happy because he have em both
