Pre-Game Talk: Avs' week II: Kings, Kings, Ducks, Ducks - try II

[tigervixxxen]

Scott doesn’t know anything, the NHL ap doesn’t tell you anything.

I don’t know what difference emergency or not makes. It still is a roster spot, it still uses cap. Geekie for Carolina was classified as emergency btw.

Yeah IDK what he means. My NHL app shows everyone on the taxi squad as being "on the roster" too, including Kiefer Sherwood, but doesn’t show Werner.

If Francouz is injured before he even starts a game....

Where did you hear that he might be injured?

 

[Richard88]

Expected lineup tonight?

Saad -------------- Kadri -------- Burakovsky
Nichuskin ------- Compher ---- Donskoi
Calvert ---------- Bellemare ---- Jost

Toews --- Makar
Graves --- Girard
Cole ------ Timmins

Francouz
Grubauer

With 3 days rest, I would start our No1, Gruby.

How clueless is this Scott guy, eh?

I figure that there's a b2b on Friday/Saturday where you want to be playing Francouz one of the games, along with a start on either the 19th or on the 24th.

Splitting the next 4 games evenly between Francouz and Grubauer would maintain the 60/40 - 65/35 split in starts that Bednar mentioned recently, whether Francouz gets tonights game (as shown below), or if Grubauer gets tonights game (as shown at the bottom).

Seriously, awful. He is the Mike Chambers of Mike Chambers

 

[henchman21]

Hopefully Frank isn't seriously injured... running Miska as the backup for the whole season would be a disaster.

The sooner nobody uses Scott as a source, the better.

Watching Jost play so well to start the season, I’m hopeful to see him get some ice time at 3C. Slide JTC to RW with PEB.

3C is a problem, but for now I'd rather just let Jost have a steady run on that 4th line so that he can build chemistry and carve out a niche for himself.

I just searched for a source on the Francouz injury front as no one had posted anything concrete yet despite two posteres mentioning it, and that tweet was all I found.

 

[tigervixxxen]

I mean the Avs featured Grubauer in photos yesterday so if there’s something going on with one of the goalies a better bet is Francouz but nobody knows anything. We’ll see after morning skate.

 

[McJedi]

Why isn’t Newhook playing for BC right now? Is he injured? If so, do we know the extend of it?

It’s related to the shoulder injury he suffered at the WJC and no there’s really no such thing as NCAA injury updates.

Isn’t it Fing weird how on 2021 no one covers the Avs effectively. Momma’s don’t let your babies grow up to be, “sports journalists” (or Running Backs).

My go to for news is @Bill Peckerskull.

LOL. I only share what others report. @Cypher was the first to say that Miska was called up on emergency loan.

Unless it's COVID related, it only took a couple games for Sakic to eat his confident words about the goalie injuries last year being flukes.

And how is EJ ready already? I thought he needed more time? He should take more time IMO, he's a big guy and needs to have his legs at 100%.

 

[Foppa2118]

I could have sworn there was a game tonight. Now I'm sad.

I just read this today and thought, "what there's no game today?" and I was sad too. Then I realized you said this yesterday and I was happy again.

I think that's why they're rolling 7D. So they don't overwork him.

 

[tigervixxxen]

Ha, go look at how the NHL ap lists our goalies tonight

(Hint, I think they pick the backup by lowest numerically).
