GDT: Emergency GDT: Avs vs Kings (Game #78)

[Polite HKYDiscussion]

LA better get their shit together, I do not want the Avs to face them Round 1

Meh, the line of Malgin-Comoher-Nuke and a fourth line of Eagles just beat them.

Imagine if Landeskog-Mackinnon-Rantanen- Lehkonen-Makar- Byram-Manson and Helm show up?

Nuke is back to vintage Nuke, what a sight to see. He can carry basically anyone. Compher wasn't all that good, his assist was pretty lucky. Malgin was clearly better on that line even without the goals. Toews is a beast like usual, Newhook goal doesn't happen if Toews wasn't so elite at transition D.

We have this 2nd line for quite some time now and still manage to get wins. I bet Bednar will get overlooked again on Jack Adams for a one hit wonder coach. I mean he won’t even get nominated since Montgomery probably takes it.

Not really worried about the Avs losing, just will definitely be a tougher road and of course the Kings will be late start times and crappy ice

I appreciate your participation in this discussion. I never watched any of the animated series. The Killing Joke and Mask of the Phantasm were two examples of Batman lore that he loved, but I wasn't knowledgeable of.

The Animated Series is a masterpiece. The late Kevin Conroy did Batman better than all the live-action guys put together.

Nuke is up to 45 pts in 49 games with only 2 PIM’s while playing injured for a big portion of the season. What a player.

I’m still not sure how Bednar will run his top two lines if Lehky and Landy are back. I love the Mack and Landy connection but asking him to play first line minutes in the playoffs would be a lot.

My best guess

Lehky-Mack-Mikko
Landeskog-JTC-Nuke

I own that whole series on Blu Ray.

I've got the Burton original movies Bat logo as a tattoo. Jack Nicholson will always be my fave Joker but man did Heath bring it to a new level.

Side note: Looking forward to the Phoenix and Gaga collab. Loved the first Joker movie too.

I would assume the Avs run their lines exactly how last year's playoffs were except swap Kadri for Compher.

Landeskog - MacKinnon - Nichushkin
Lehkonen - Compher - Rantanen

Gives a super offensive threat on each line.

Yup. Rantanen can drive his own line, so let him do it. If we need a super punch, then you put him with MacK.

I love those lines. You’d think Bednar would want the duos of Mack-Nuke and JTC-Rants to be playing together to finish the regular season. That first line is absolute hell to play against.

Compher has lost his mojo... Looking totally burned out.

Hope he finds it before the playoffs start.

He needs to play with Mikko to get the best out of himself.
