Cale on After Hours:

"...I'm definitely not exciting that's for sure."

Respectfully disagree.

Peter
Marian
Anton
Paul
...
STASTNY!!!

WTF?!

Every male member of the Stastny family must play for the Avs!

Paul's brother never played for the Avs..

 

[AllAboutAvs]

The amount of goals he has scored in comparison to the guy he replaced. 5-0

I know you are joking but that couldn't be true anyway because we have been told many times by many that he wasn't on the team to replace Barrie. He is supposed to replace EJ.

Ok rasins picker, Anton and Marian too. *Franchise!

He's here to replace the hole in our hearts.

 

[Foppa2118]

Makar will replace EJ as the #1D on the Avs, but in terms of role, he replaced Barrie's role as the #1 offensive D man that gets paired with the top line most shifts, and sees #1 PP time.

Timmins is the guy that will eventually replace EJ's role as the two way shutdown guy.

They may get shifted around every once in a while, but if everyone stays healthy, this most like will be the Avs top 4 for a long time. And it will be one of the main reasons they can stay competitive for a long time.

Girard - Makar
Byram - Timmins

 

[The Kingslayer]

Quinn Hughes is impressive but there are levels to this and at this point Makar is on another level.

What about Adam Fox though?

 

[McMetal]

What about Adam Fox though?

Or Ethan Bear? I heard he's a slam dunk Calder winner.

 

[ThatAvsGamer]

I'm curious, what do you think we were talking about?
hint: it wasn't about Makar

No, it was about Makar LMAO.

MAKAR COLLECTS FOUR ASSISTS TO ECLIPSE 20 CAREER POINTS

Let's send him down tho because his puck possession numbers are too high

 

[klozge]

No, it was about Makar LMAO.

You're a bit slow, huh? We were talking about Hughes and about the relevance of a stat.

 

[MarkT]

It's funny that the "send him down" meme is still alive despite the fact that I'm the only person who even came close to suggesting it, and it was completely conditional on his play not improving, which it obviously did. Literally no one ever suggested actually sending him down.

Meanwhile, he's happily developing and racking up points. I don't expect it to continue (he's never played an 82 game season), but I really like how his game has progressed so far.

You should still be embarrassed for that shameful suggestion

Yeah, it's kinda weird that the send him down comment has become such a thing here

The man owned up to it. Nothing more to be said, he was wrong and he knows it.

Especially considering you didn’t say “we need to send him down right now.” It was more along the lines of “if he continues to struggle and gets worse, maybe we should consider it.”

 

[Patagonia]

What about Adam Fox though?

Rangers fans believe they're comparable or Fox is better this season. Fox won't win the Calder, that Makar might win? Makes no sense.

So keep this discussions here or we'll be flooded with weird Ranger fans.

 

[Kaizer]

Rangers fans believe they're comparable or Fox is better this season.

Nothing new. We used to compare Stastny and Malkin here, because their production was not far away from each other in the first season and Stastny had some PK time.

When people ask me how Cale Makar is having such a good season, I just tell them that, “Mark T’s reputation had to die, so that Makar could start hitting his potential.”

Haha, totally kidding man. You did actually only say, that you thought he was struggling and IF it continues he should be sent down.

[Tweaky]

I was one of the more vocal in the discussion with MarkT about Makar getting sent down, and even I know he only meant if the seeming struggles continued.

But it is a thing here now, much like the Wilson is dead, Aves misspelling, and other inanities.

 

[Ararana]

 

[Slurpeelover27]

Fox is underrated or just not given much notice yet. I would even say he is possibly better than Quinn Hughes. Last 10 or so games he is out producing Hughes and is now on top Rangers powerplay. I can easily see him top 3 in Calder voting at end of year. Both Fox and Hughes not at Makar level though, but who is?

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

It’s weird to say, because they play different positions, but I think MacKinnon is the perfect player for Makar to learn from.

They have so many similarities in their abilities on the ice. The quickness, speed, offensive awareness. I think if he works with MacKinnon on what he did early in his career it will pay off big time.

 

[Avs9296]

Was that MacKinnon or Makar? They skate, stick handle and shoot the same!

MacK still does lots of brain dead things that Makar should avoid picking up.
