GDT: Game 16: Avs @ Jets | 6 PM MT | November 9, 2018 | Oh No, We Suck Again

[SaltySkywalker]

Hope the boys hit their tape measure studies hard these past 2 days, cant be having any more of that 1 cm offside nonsense this game

I f***ing hate that rule. Who cares if your skate is on the ice or not, as long as it hasn't passed the blue line.

 

[Balthazar]

We're due to win. We'll take this one.

 

[TruePowerSlave]

I'm beginning to warm upto the idea of 2 top 5 picks for some reason. I shouldn't be comfortable with it in November but alas here I am. I think 2 top 5 picks next draft will solve that secondary scoring issue for a good decade. Only problem with two top 5 picks is we didn't make the playoffs and I want playoffs so one top 5 pick is fine by me.

Nobody should be against this. We would become a powerhouse pretty soon if that happened.

I absolutely 100% want us to win and be in the playoffs. But I won't lie that getting two top ten selections in this deep deep draft would seriously bolster our team.

 

[chet1926]

I just want one game where the refs don't have their worst game against us.

If we make it to that point, I'll be satisfied.

 

[Avs_19]

Bednar says Nieto is banged up so he's out for Jost. Greer and Barberio are the other scratches.

They're also going back to the original D pairings so thankfully we don't have to watch Nemeth-EJ again. Well, at least to start things off we won't.

92 Gabriel Landeskog - 29 Nathan MacKinnon - 96 Mikko Rantanen
15 Sheldon Dries - 13 Alexander Kerfoot - 22 Colin Wilson
57 Gabriel Bourque - 34 Carl Soderberg - 11 Matt Calvert
17 Tyson Jost - 91 Vladislav Kamenev - 56 Marko Dano

49 Samuel Girard - 6 Erik Johnson
28 Ian Cole - 4 Tyson Barrie
16 Nikita Zadorov - 12 Patrik Nemeth

Projected Lineup: Avalanche at Jets

 

[Foppberg]

I did like the Barrie/Z pairing though. Seemed like he got some more of his swagger back.

 

[5280]

Sweet, back to he regular defensive lines

 

[forsbergavs32]

Just win a damn game...and please get Kamenev more than 45 seconds of ice time this game.

I do think the top line is due for another big game.

 

[McMetal]

In the NHL parity is great, the worst teams can beat the best on any given night, however that does not apply to us ever vs the Jets.

I hope Big Buff doesnt activate wrecking ball mode.

We beat them twice last year, it's possible. I wouldn't hold my breath, but with Jost back I think we have a chance. I like the hell out of Jost and Kamenev together, I think that can be a decent combo even if Dano is useless.

 

[Vaslof]

Avs Twitter said Barberio is playing.

Has either actually shown anything the entire season?

 

[NOTENOUGHJTCGOALS]

Greer a healthy scratch? Or not ready to play due to injury scratch?

 

[McMetal]

Maybe this is their chance. I feel like Jost on the wing will be able to get his shot off better, and Kam's playmaking will find him.

 

[UncleRisto]

Greer a healthy scratch? Or not ready to play due to injury scratch?

He's a precautionary call-up.

 

[The Kingslayer]

I wish they would stop dicking around with Greer. f***in scratch Dano and send him to Bratislava already.

 

[The Pwnerer]

We could use a Greer for a game like this. Jets always try to bully us.

Successfully most of the time.

Couple of defenceman we could use ranked around 12 -15 in Byram and Broberg

 

[Alex Jones]

Yea but you can't put Cole/Nemeth together.

 

[Balthazar]

We could use a Greer for a game like this. Jets always try to bully us.

Last time we tried that he went after Buff and it didn't go well for him.

 

[nightonthesun]

Greer should be playing instead of Dano.

 

[Alex Jones]

Greer should be playing instead of Dano.

TBH, I don't really see much difference between the two of them in terms of what they will bring.

 

[Raucherhusten]

TBH, I don't really see much difference between the two of them in terms of what they will bring.

Agreed, it really doesn't matter that much.

 

[Pokecheque]

TBH, I don't really see much difference between the two of them in terms of what they will bring.

We know what Dano brings to the NHL. We don't yet know what Greer brings to the NHL.
