GDT: Avs vs Kings | 7 PM MT | Remembering Some Kings

[NateTheGreat]

On a side note Toews has been great since I called him out.

You got any more of them call-outs for one Ryan Johansen?

 

[Metallo]

Yes. It's damn near impossible to follow the game properly on the radio. McGahey barely says anything when the other team is attacking so you have no idea what's happening or where the puck is like 30% of the time. So f***ing frustrating.

Good to know. I almost never listen to the Avs on radio. It's not looking like it will increase. The guy doing the Eagles is pretty good however.

You’re just nitpicking. The guy is 4th in the league in scoring and the Avs are winning games. I don’t disagree that Mikko makes lazy plays sometimes but it’s not as bad as you make it sound

Mikko is easily one of the most frustrating players in the league. So lazy with tons of terrible plays but will find a way a few times a game to make an absolutely absurd play that gets him a goal or top tier assist.

I've honestly never seen a player look so incredibly bad 70% of the time just to look like an elite player 30% of the time.

At the end of the day he's 4th in the league in the scoring just wish his play was slightly more consistent.

Said it before; MacFarland is frustrating but something to be thankful for is that Wood-Colton-O’Connor line.

Individually and on paper, maybe they’re not so impressive. But together, they’ve been lethal. Very likable part of this team.

Think about it. That line generated a lot of chances and scores to allow the Avs to amass a lead. That line afforded Bednar the luxury to save minutes on key guys in the last 7 minutes of the game.

One more thing. That line plays to the Avs identity of speed and energy. That line is a big difference between the Avs of 2024 and 2023.

Yes, there’s a concern that the offense might dry up. But maybe not if they keep creating chaos?

I think that they will continue to play well. They all just hound the puck and play hard nose hockey. The scoring might might continue at it's current pace but the line itself is excellent and will continue to do good things for us.

Well that was fun.

Well that was fun.

What was?

He just got dome.

Maybe you should call RyJo out. Already done it? Do it again. AGAIN!

 

[avsfan09]

He just got dome.

Respectfully.

 

[Grigowski]

I f***in love this team at the moment.... Mac is a one-man-bulldozer out there... And O´Connor sets his ass up for a nice payday soon.....

Also like the addition of Parise.

And for the records: I voted Clark Gable

One of the greatest movie quotes of all time.... Badass.

 

[Ceremony]

Johansen on the penalty kill? Is he being shopped?

 

[Grigowski]

Word on Doughty: Calling out some teammates only to show up like that last night isnt a good look... Just watch him at goal No. 2...Pathetic....

 

[Chiarelli]

Nat King Cole and Albert King notably missing.

Coulda won this one with Fourgiev in net even

MacKinnon has 36 points in 17 games since I wrote this back on December 19th :

I personally don’t like this public talk stuff. Yeah Toews certainly isn’t wrong, but airing dirty laundry very rarely goes well. Even the Mikko bump has seemed to fade. Shut up and get to work.

MacKinnon sometimes... man it seems like he's bored out there. He'll get into a certain position where the easy and correct play to make is just shoot the puck but he's like "nah... too easy. I'm gonna circle it back to the point and maybe we can score some sort of highlight reel goal or something"?!?!?!. If he would take the play when it's there and make the right scoring play when it's there, he'd lead the league in scoring and be right there for the Art Ross every single year. I don't get why he does that.​

Translation - Nathan reads HFboards.

Glad I could help.

Johansen on the penalty kill? Is he being shopped?

They've been doing that for awhile, its basically in hopes he wins the draw, clears it and goes to the bench. But its not helping when he's not even winning faceoffs anymore.

 

[Jazzguitar]

I can’t even stand RyJo’s tape job smh

lol I was thinking about that the other day, it's like he started wrapping the blade and then just got lazy/gave up not even halfway there

 

[Pokecheque]

Didn’t realize last night that one of the defenders Nate blew past last night on his goal was Phil Danault (the real Pizza Boy).

 

[missionAvs]

RyJo 's immune to such things.

 

[Ceremony]

I may have underestimated how terrible Dubois is.

 

[Balthazar]

I may have underestimated how terrible Talbot is.

That's me

 

[Pokecheque]

That's me

Blake thinking he could actually succeed with a tandem of 36-year-old Cam Talbot coming off an absolutely disastrous injury-riddled campaign in Ottawa and career minor leaguer Feenicks Copley is the epitome of foolishness. Far, far worse than Fitzgerald’s decision making in NJ (and I personally think Fitz should be fired if he doesn’t land a goalie soon).

Talbot hasn’t been a viable starter since his days in Edmonton.
