Post-Game Talk: Game 10: Avalanche @ Hurricanes | Avs Lose 3-2

Speaking of Skille....Saw this on the DP's website today:

AVs' first-year winger Jack Skille live's out of hotels

But Skille, 28, still lives out of hotels. It's the team hotel on the road, and a team-paid hotel in the Denver area. He has yet to get the green light from the Avs to buy or rent a place in Colorado.

"Nothing's guaranteed and I'm not expecting it to be guaranteed and I'm not looking for someone to give me a pat on the back and say, 'You're good, you're safe,' because I know I'm not safe. I'm never going to be safe," Skille said. "And I'm going to keep playing that way."​

Love that quote by Jack.

That's a good way to keep a guy motivated. Don't let him buy a house.

Looking at the boxscore from last night and I see Beauchemin played over 27 mins. I wonder if that'll effect him at all on a back to back. It was a close game that we really needed so no issue with him being used a lot at even strength yesterday. Could probably do without the additional 6:38 on the PP though. MacKinnon is the only one who had more PP time.

There's only one option, put Zadorov on the top line!

I'm joking. Mostly....

So that's where they went wrong with Guenin in his first season, when Roy let him know it's okay to find a place.

Better yet make him live with Roy.

 

[Metallo]

Looking forward to this game. Go Avs!

Finally get to watch my first full game of the season. God it sucks working 75 hours a week, thank god for radio. But hoping for a W tonight, it could really help turn some things around.

I'd like to see the 3rd line do something productive tonight offensively. Secondary scoring is always a welcome addition. Everberg and Comeau are the right guys to crash the net, they just have to find a way to get the puck on net and crash.

75 hours a week??!!

holy crap, that's more than i work in a month.

Guenin has 3 homes, 1 for his lady, a safe house, and a nice cabin the mountains.

Comeau goes the whole season without scoring.

Yeah it's pretty ruthless lol I work around 13 hours per day, 6 days a week. I've been sorely lacking watching the Avs.

3-2 Canes

They should have done this with Guenin

The Avs are playing bad because you arent watching enough.

 

[IndustryLeech]

Let's go boys! Stay 'umble and build on last night's success.

Skille is climbing my list of favorite players on the team. He has a great attitude and has been playing at or above his pay grade (for the most part) all year.

Heard that DMD, what industry you in?

 

[ASmileyFace]

This seems like the kind of game we should win. Which is scary.

 

[Metallo]

Heard that DMD, what industry you in?

Slavery.

 

[dahrougem2]

Heard that DMD, what industry you in?

Slavery.

Pretty much, also known as the food industry

 

[Avs_19]

75 hours per week? Aren't there labour laws against that? Damn.

 

[Avs_19]

Good job, Roy.

 

[tigervixxxen]

Now we'll definitely lose because we got what we wanted.

Thought I saw his jersey hanging in the video the Avs put out

 

[The Kingslayer]

Was it because of that stupid pokecheck he attempted in the neutral zone? Hopefully after giving up a breakaway on a 5 on 3 patrick moves Iggy off the point and closer to the net. Let Gormley and Barrie run PP1

 

[BaconNater]

 

[Freudian]

Good job, Roy.

Hope he has a good game. The sooner he sticks, the better off we all will be.
