Post-Game Talk: Colorado @ Montreal | October 18th, 5PM MT | We need Roy to play in net

It looks like Tanguay has rebounded from a crummy first four games - I guess he was shaking off the rust.

Briere, however, I'm concerned about. I don't mind him on the PP, but at ES he is so slow and can't keep the puck on his stick.

Who posted the scouts at the game last night? I found one from the Leafa game so I'll resurrect the thread if I can get the info.

7 NHL pro scouts were at the #Avs vs #Habs game last night. Interesting.

Least amount of ice time yesterday and may have even been benched in the 3rd.

The last few shifts they rotated Cody McLeod and Max Talbot in place of Briere. He has looked worse than he did last season.

Briere is exactly what a few of us expected he'd be.

Maybe we can stop with all the expecting all these players to "turn it around" under Roy. I can see it with guys who are fringe types of never got a real shot, but the experienced vets that are that long in the tooth are rarely going to have much of a rebirth under any coach.

Hopefully the Avs can get to the playoffs, and maybe there will be some payoff there, but otherwise the Avs just really traded a pick for some cap space next season.

Thanks. I'll try to keep track of this stuff.

I kinda like the Tanguay-Mitchell-Briere line but who knows if it will last.
