GDT: Avs vs. Jackets - 3/22/2024 @ 7 pm MT

[JLo217]

Mitts and Drouin really round out the top 6 nicely. I like the Lehkonen-Mack-Rants line too. I'm not sure it works against every opponent but I could see that working well from time to time. Mitts might hit a PPG on this team.

 

[missionAvs]

I'll tell you that for all the shit talking that goes on in here, I love this place and this shit team. Fire Bednar and trade Rants.

 

[NorthernAvsFan]

Five game point streak for Mittelstadt.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Five game point streak for Mittelstadt.

Has he even been on for a goal against?

Yup, was tonight.

 

[AegonLeConqueror]

Yup, was tonight.

Bust. Give us back Byram!

The game ended with Nuke-Mitts-Rants. And they looked good

If Casey Mittelstadt gets to play with Mikko Rantanen next season he is going to hit 80 points.

 

[Pokecheque]

Get a RyJo jersey

You know someone out there did before the season, watched him play and was all

 

[AegonLeConqueror]

Mikko must have reaaaaally hated RyJo because his game has flipped a switch since the TDL

“That’s a real good hockey team,” Blue Jackets coach Pascal Vincent said. “They’re fast. Really fast. They’re quick. And they’re heavy. Their defense can really skate, so you’re not allowed to make mistakes. They were way faster than us tonight.

“You can tell why that team is contending and hoping for a long run in the playoffs. That’s a really good hockey team.”

Then Vincent exhaled said all of that again with an economy of words: “That’s the best team we’ve seen (this season).”

“When you turn pucks over, they’re going to come with speed,” Werenski said.

“You can slow them down by putting pucks behind them and making them come a full 200 feet. When you don’t do that, it plays right into the game they want to play.

“For the most part, we kinda did that. They’re a good hockey team. They make it hard on you. But I don’t think we did ourselves any favors.”

“That’s a top team in the league, if not the best one right now,” Severson said.

“They just have such a good mix of players, from the goaltending to the first line, fourth line, the defense … they know how to play.

“Their speed was a killer, for sure. But just their all-around game. They were buzzing. That’s a team that just gets it. That’s a team we should aspire to be one day.”

Blue Jackets buried by Avalanche in game of same planet, different worlds

Columbus scored first then allowed six unanswered goals and a season-high 51 shots on goal in Colorado.

Not surprised. Mikko has type of personality who would get frustrated with locker room destructions which will affect his game, unlike MacK who would continue to produce and be the same player even if there was an armageddon, world was coming to an end and Ball Arena was collapsing

Which is ironic, considering how 90% of HFAvs accuses Mikko of being lazy.

At times it just looks like he’s lazy, then he just casually puts up a 4 point game. That’s just Mikko

 

[Metallo]

I mean I only have 8 jerseys. Whats one more?

That would be nine, if my mathematical model is valid.

 

[The Moops]

Yup, was tonight.

That bum

Which is ironic, considering how 90% of HFAvs accuses Mikko of being lazy.

Laziest back to back 100 point scorer in the game. Will be hard to get good value for him unless he stops being lazy and starts training in the off-season like he should

 

[BrickNHL]

Reading the Jackets GDT is kinda sad

 

[BleedWell]

If Casey Mittelstadt gets to play with Mikko Rantanen next season he is going to hit 80 points.

Easily.
Let's just hope Mitts signs a long contract before.

Get a RyJo jersey

Dude...it might actually be worth it to buy his game worn jersey at the next charity auction. Won't nobody be bidding on it so you'll basically get it for like $250. You then send it to a shop and get either Simon or Vrbata put on the nameplate and you wear that mother proudly.

I mean you basically would have to change the nameplate, unless you happen to be named Johansen as well. I wouldn't go with Iginla or Nemeth but to be honest Kobesew, Megna, Porter and Haydar all would be a step up.

Hell, the training staff didn't even have to wash it, the dude never came close to breaking a sweat.

That thing should immediately be burned in the fires of Mount Doom.

That's just the effect of playing with RyJo. I feel bad for the time Mikko had to spend on the ice with him.

 

[Vaslof]

Okay that wasn't very fair to the Blue Jackets. I feel bad.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

If Casey Mittelstadt gets to play with Mikko Rantanen next season he is going to hit 80 points.

True.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

It's crazy how effortlessly h

Uuh

Nice compliments

This is a must. We need to push for the max term and keep it cheap. Otherwise he will demand way more.

Reading the Jackets GDT is kinda sad

For the most part, their fans are actually pretty good. Makes you want to see that team actually start to put things together with all the young talent they have
