Going to the game tonight. Here's to a clean blow out victory even though this has trap game written all over it.

 

[McMetal]

We've played against San Jose, Vancouver (x2), and Seattle. They are 6th, 7th and 8th in their division. That might just have more to do with it than "MacK's frustration".

Columbus isn't a great club either. Tied for sixth in their division, and that's including the two wins we gifted them with crap play.

Newhook 1st line center tonight. OC back to 3rd line it sounds like.

Where’s this coming from?

Where’s this coming from?

Saw it from a pretty trustworthy Avs Instagram account. Haven't seen it elsewhere, but this guy isn't wrong very often. Would make sense though. Newhook has been buzzing since the callup, and the top line didn't produce in a game they scored 7. OC is a better fit for middle 6 too.

I have no idea what, if any, connections this guy has. I guess we'll see if he's right.

He practiced at 1C because rantanen had a maintenance day. I don't know if he'll play 1C tonight

Over/under on how many Avs players will miss next game cause of COVID?

Betting line is 2.5

If Newhook is playing on the first line, my guess is that Rantanen is not playing.

Edit: I guess I was wrong. Still strange, Bednar usually does not make big changes when the team is rolling. Maybe Colorado is showcasing Newhook.

 

[Sea Eagles]

Feeling a big win coming again tonight. 5 straight !

Or he's playing RW and Hook is centering him and Landy, and LOC is back on the 3rd line at LW with Jost in the middle

Feels like a game Jo Jo should have normally started, but with so few games the last 2 weeks, I understand why DK is starting

No but he's kinda right...

I saw this from the 1st game when Mack was out. You can see our players are no longer over thinking or over reacting when Mack is on the ice, just to try to pass the puck to him. Avs are playing a better team game for sure without Mack in lineup.

Mack can always start a temper tantrum if he does not get the passes when he wants to and that is just going to negatively affect the team play.

why fix what aint broke mr bednar

 

[Cousin Eddie]

I think those rumors are wrong about Newhook. I think he’ll be with Jost and NAK.

Opportunity, balance, potential improvement. Newhook has 3 points in 5 games (on lower lines). I think he's a point-per-game player, so elevate his opportunities, and develop him into a top producer, rather than a 3rd line, 40 odd point guy. Way Kadri is going, he's gonna get paid, and we may not be able to afford him. Be good if Newhook this season can develop into that 2C role.

Are the Senators competent this year? How do they look?

They have played pretty well from the games i've seen. They are a few more pieces and a goalie away from being really good imo. Its too bad Batherson aint playing because that guys a stud same with Pinto.

 

[flyfysher]

They were decent last year. This year it didn't start well with the Tkachuk contract situation and defensive issues. They are still a couple of years away from being really good...but having all the pieces is no guarantee to success. We'll see how they handle and develop all that talent.

They'll likely get another top 5 pick this year which is just insane. Just imagine if they get Wright...

I’d be happy for the Sens fans if they got the top pick because I know how they felt when they were really bad and deserved a lot of slack. We complain about the Kroenkes but hey they’re better than Melnyk.
