Post-Game Talk: Avs @ Hawks l 2-3 L l An Ode to Tripping and Interference Non-Calls

[AvsRobin]

If right direction is backwards

Please. Yes, we aren't a playoff team yet. But just look at our roster. A lot of young players in the same age-group with huge talent. Of course we will be a good team in a few years.

TFP 3 Stars @ Chi: 1. Toews, Chi. 2. Seabrook, Chi. 3. O'Byrne, Col

lolwut. Maybe some scouts from other teams think he played good too

Landeskog should not be paired with Stastny. Go back to OReilly and win some games. Otherwise, don't


Hard to disagree there.

 

[landesberg]

I honestly thought Stastny was one of our most consistent forwards today. Not his fault that he has a drunk on his line.

 

[Freudian]

lolwut. Maybe some scouts from other teams think he played good too

I thought O'Byrne played well today, as did Hejda, Zanon and O'Brien.

 

[AvsRobin]

Duchene was 3rd star. Not O'Byrne.

 

[Drij]

So, that makes Stasnty's elbow legal? Some of you guys are too much when the avs lose.
.

Who is to blame? The guy putting his arm to block someone from hitting him or the guy not looking where he is going?

 

[5280]

Yeah, Dater's blowing a gasket.

 

[NothingLikeAnEJ]

Nah, those 7-0 losses against Detroit by far.

At least those games were over quickly.

Tonight was garbage.

 

[Unaffiliated]

What the hell is Stastny honestly gonna accomplish with pretty much just David Gins

 

[AslanRH]

Dater is the ugly girl who is always talking S*** on some other girl's guy. Always stirring up drama in order to get the attention. Surprised there was not an "Anderson would have won this game" tagged on the end of it.

 

[Avs]

I thought Stastny was pretty decent

He is like any other Stastny hater. He could be our best player on the ice and they will refuse to acknowledge it.

 

[landesberg]

Yeah, Dater's blowing a gasket.

He's mad he looks ridiculous for his claim that Avs were gonna end the streak.

 

[dahrougem2]

I just don't understand what Sacco's logic is. Do the assistant coaches even step up and say something? AT LEAST put Tyson Barrie back on the point, there is no need for O'Reilly to be back there that late but I knew his man-crush with O'Reilly would begin the second he signed, Barrie has been playing great lately and how do you reward the kid? By taking him off the 1st pp unit and putting a guy who had played 3 games there

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

I sometimes wonder if Dater actually watches the games or not. More blind hate on Stastny again tonight. Stas and Landy were good, they had a few good chances down low behind the net, and Stas was very good defensively.


I really want to see these lines next game:

McPing - Duchene - PAP
Landy - ROR - Stas
Pajamas - Malkin - Jones
McCleod - Olver/Kobasew - Bordeleau


If Hejduk comes back then move Pajamas to the 4th line, and scratch Bordeleau.

@AvsMgmt
#Avs have cancelled their flight back to Denver and will instead be riding on the bandwagon back from Chicago

 

[S E P H]

Yea he played fine. It's just Dater trying to create another story out of thin air.

I am having a HUGE problem with Stastny on the PP.

He takes his time.
When taking his time, gets pressured and throws the puck into space losing possession.
His passes are less powerful than a 4 year old girl.
He always loses every puck battle in the corners.
His decision making is around Winnik's level regarding offense.
Looks lost half of the time.

He has been great 5v5, but PP wise, dreadful.

 

[landesberg]

I'd rather double shift Barrie than have O'Reilly on the point. Take Jones off the PP because he was definitely on one of the units today.

 

[Avalanche]

This one hurts

We'll see if they come back on Friday or just shut down

I though Palushaj had an outstanding game tonight, one of the, if not the hardest worker on the ice by far and the kid battles like crazy.

If you're going to scratch anybody, scratch that no good bum Jones, he does absolutely nothing out there. Keep Palushaj on the 3rd with Malkin and Hejduk, and keep Bordeleau on the 4th

I think they gave it their all tonight. I expect them to get blown out on Friday.

 

[Freudian]

Avs are .444 when leading after two periods.

My mom got mad at me for swearing tonight.

He probably is lost. I'm not sure anybody knows what's supposed to happen on our PPs.

It's a really terrible PP setup for him. Doesn't play to any of his strengths and exposes all of his weaknesses. Doesn't excuse poor play, though.

Is that just this season, or all-time under Sacco?
