Oh please, ice cream on pie is way better than ice cream cake.

You said a mouthful

Roy said that Matt Duchene (oblique injury) is a game-time decision for tonight's game vs. the Blues.

 

[Avs For Life]

Need a better showing tonight. Blues are a good team and we let them have their way with us last game...

Time to play like we know we can. I hope we show up as Roy's team, the team that has surprised the hockey world, not the team that Sacco built...

Didn't he say earlier that even though he felt good he wanted him to get that extra rest and until the Minnesota game?

Sounds like Duchene really wants to play.

Obviously looking for Round 3 vs. Sobotka...

Looks like Dutchy really wants this Gordie Howe hat trick. I don't think I like the idea of letting him play tonight.

Pie in a landslide.

Unless cheesecake counts as cake. Which it shouldn't.

^^^ My new best friend.

Cappuccino cheesecake FTW!!!

I'm getting ready to hand out infractions for trolling.

You know who you are, and you've just been warned.

Can Roy just muster up the cojones to tell Dutchy he needs to sit. In fact I'm worried about him playing both games of the back to back. Seems tough on the body, and an oblique injury sounds like it needs plenty of rest to keep from flaring back up.

I asked Ken Hitchcock Monday what he planned for #stlblues 1st trip to Denver: "I'm putting up a fence between the benches." #avs #angryroy

he said something similar last time too, right?

 

[Freudian]

I don't mind Hitchcock and Trotz taking jabs at Roy. It shows they are worried about his coaching.

No one ever said anything about Sacco.

 

[JWK]

You guys are stupid, Cake is so much better than Pietrangelo Food >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hockey player

I know what you are referring to, but I think it was someone else.

Edit: I think it was Claude Julien.

He already made him stay home for the road trip when Duchene wanted to go. The original prognosis on Duchene was a week, so it's not like he's being rushed.

 

[Nihiliste]

Trotz or Julien or Carlyle or someone else from the league of extraordinarily large gentlemen.

Yeah, it was Julien..... here

Well it's the idea that he went from being "very surprised if he'd play" yesterday to being a game time decision today, and possibly playing that worries me. Why rush it? He's too important.

 

[UncleRisto]

Those kind of comments are, one could say, bush league.

 

[Freudian]

Yeah, it was Julien..... here

Hitchcock:

"I saw that first-hand...that's junior hockey. It's got no place in our game. You can't be pushing barriers down. It's just got no place in our game."

 

[tigervixxxen]

They let Duchene talk to the media, so yeah bet he plays tonight.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

I think Duchene will be in tonight. I feel like he's been good to go for a while now but Roy is just be cautious. He wanted to play last week against Chicago

Plus Roy said today "we want to bring the speed"
dutchy's been known to have some of that speed he speaks of

 

[5280]

Hitchcock:

"I saw that first-hand...that's junior hockey. It's got no place in our game. You can't be pushing barriers down. It's just got no place in our game."

Yeah, I remember that, too. Hitchcock can GTFO as far as I'm concerned.

5-0 Blues

Byte your tongues of slayer of the noble, we shall not be put in such a state, hear this and fear those who tread down the flowing snow, for a true white wash of powder will leave none but captain kog and his band of merry men standing after tonight's merriment.

 

[Gigantor The Goalie]

If Duchene really wants to play tonight then let him play. Duchene was going to come on the road trip but Roy wouldn't let him. You can't keep Duchene on the sidelines forever. If he's feeling good and the trainers have cleared him then he should play if he wants to.
