Will Redmond get to play? #FreeRedmond

 

[Tralfamadore]

Teams have been known to practice at Carleton University's rink when they're in town the odd time. I was really hoping the Avs would be practicing there so I could stop by for a visit but no luck.

I'll be at the game tomorrow. The game in Ottawa last year was incredibly boring. I really hope the offence lights it up this year. Should be an open game.

Looking forward to the game. Hopefully they can finally get some consistent play going.

Wonder if they took the day completely off today after the back to back.

I'd expect a more open higher scoring game too.

Must make sure Andy gets lit up

5 - 0 Avs win.

I was at the game when we lit him up with like 6 goals. It was glorious.

who are you?!

I just want Mitchell back.

I've always been a Mitchell supporter. He's not a guy that is going to make a great pass or anything. But he's a guy who plays well all around, can play any forward position and can be put in a offensive or defensive situation, if needed.

True words being said. The bottom six has been a disaster for this team thus far.

Haha well I've been posting here for awhile now. Username used to be BON IVER.

I don't know what the alternative would be if MacKinnon moves up but Briere is not a center anymore. If he's the only other option at center on the third line, then I guess MacKinnon will just have to suffer until Mitchell gets back.

People we are in trouble when we are waiting for John Mitchell to turn the Avs around this team needs to learn how to play like a team and not relying on Mack and duchene to try and hog the puck and try to do it all themselves

 

[avspatti]

McGinn is very overlooked on this team and I'd rather have him on the top 6 than Tangs.

Tangs shows what's happening to a player his age that missed a whole year. I doubt he'll ever come back as good as he was before the injury. Not because of the injury itself, but because he's simply too old to jump back in the action after such a long time off.

Mack needs to play on the top 6 as well. At this point I wonder if Roy wants to punish him for his lack of defensive awareness.

Tangs is not THAT old. Thirty-four? We're just used to 19-23 year-olds.

Tangs has taken a lot of mileage. He's had significant knee problems for a while.

Changed both your username and avatar at the same time? Can't do that man, gotta space it out, let people adjust.

 

[forsbergavs32]

I just hope Roy realizes soon that Tangs can't keep up anymore. At this point, when Malkin comes back I'd be ok with seeing him dropped to the 4th line....which hasn't been good at all anyway so Tangs there couldn't hurt.

McGinn-Duchene-Iginla
Landeskog-O'Reilly-MacKinnon
Everberg-Mitchell-Briere
McLeod-Talbot-Tanguay

 

[tigervixxxen]

He's never going to be on the 4th line but maybe Roy will leave him on the 3rd line once MacKinnon gets his reprieve.

 

[Foppa2118]

Tangs has taken a lot of mileage. He's had significant knee problems for a while.

Yea that's kinda the issue with him. Two MCL injuries in about seven months, and then a hip problem a few months later that resulted in surgery on the left knee and hip.

I wasn't able to find which knee he hurt in Calgary, but it was the left knee and hip with the Avs last year. Honestly I'm not sure what's worse, hurting the same knee twice, or having two wonky knees. He also had surgery on his right hip 9 years ago.

 

[avsfan09]

Tanguay will be fine. Although he definitely needs to work on his timing and conditioning.
