Holden has played almost 5 more minutes than EJ.

edit: A bit closer now after the last shift.

 

[Jayevs]

What's the suicide hotline # again?

 

[AslanRH]

can we go back to blaming the refs maybe?

game changed on that missed icing...am i right?

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Why are our defensemen the first ones to leave the zone? There's been several giveaways without a defender in sight.

 

[Over the Pants Landy]

Love everything I'm seeing from Comeau - lone bright spot

 

[The Kingslayer]

I dont know i hate more right now the wild or matt duchene

 

[The Shermanator]

Oh my god WTF if with the Holden ice time?

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Holden has played almost 5 more minutes than EJ.

Nick Holden, #1 Dman

 

[Avsboy]

Duchene the new whipping boy it seems.

 

[ASmileyFace]

I can't believe I'm watching this. Just an utter collapse.

 

[Nzap]

How the heck has Holden got that much ice-time?

 

[The Kingslayer]

Yup Comeau been very good tonight

 

[landy92mack29]

Nick Holden, #1 Dman

core player

 

[Alex Jones]

My god its 2015 and holden/Guenin are still regulars

 

[The Shermanator]

Why would Holden ever be the Avs' leader in ice time? Let alone by over a full minute?

It has to be some advanced coaching tactics to sell him for a trade that's in the works. Right?

 

[Crisp Breakout]

I was a huge proponent and then apologist for Roy as coach. I'm done. I want him out of here before he and Sakic manage to tarnish the memories of when the Avs were respectable.

 

[hughdreamz]

Holden is playing Sutter minutes. A guy who shouldn't even be on the team really is playing more minutes than our #1 dman

 

[JLo217]

Plenty of bright spots. But this team is still playing the same. Terrible defensive play. I think the first 10 games will still be rough. They were clearly amped up to start but that dissipated fast.

 

[BoxOfChocolates]

What a morale blow this is going to be to the team. Can see some real struggles coming these next few weeks.

 

[AslanRH]

Nick Holden, #1 Dman

At least we know Roy put the time and tough decision making into who his #1 would be

 

[Hesher]

The way they folded after Parise made it 4-2 is more than a little bit concerning.

 

[forsbergavs32]

Well this game got out of hand in a hurry. This is like last year all over again.

 

[AvsRobin]

Holden has played almost 5 more minutes than EJ.

edit: A bit closer now after the last shift.

I dunno why Roy is treating Holden like Sacco was treating Hunwick. Either scratched or leads the team in ice time.

Him and Guenin are killing a defensive pair each. Even though Barrie hasn't individually been good either. But dragging that piece of **** called Guenin around is impossible.

 

[Nzap]

I can't believe I'm watching this. Just an utter collapse.

Oh I can believe this.

Classic Avs meltdown.
In the past few seasons it has ended with us winning by 1 or getting to OT.
Today not so much.

Also my condolences to all the people from here at the can (TMV and TV at least).
