GDT: Game 23 - Avs @ Preds LOL 6:00pm MT - Rock Paper Sissons

[Piestany88]

Doesn't really matter, they'll likely get smoked 4 or 5 - 1 or 2. Hell, it's already 3-0 Preds (Sissons 2 and Forsberg 1).

Who does Watson take a run at? Mack, Mikko, or Girard? Subban will take a cheap shot at someone, and will draw a penalty on a terrible dive, neither of which will get called. Happens every time they play.

Subban is out

 

[Piestany88]

Why the **** is Kam out Bednar. WHY.

Fresh legs for tomorrow maybe

 

[Foppa Frossa]

Come at me bro, I will have at least two people on my side!

(I don't want Barrie traded, FYI)

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Subban is out

Good. Thought he was back.

 

[Piestany88]

Good. Thought he was back.

Oh maybe he is , I really didn't check just going by foppas lineup

 

[Raucherhusten]

NHL.com says this:

Injured: Viktor Arvidsson (broken thumb), P.K. Subban (upper body), Kyle Turris (undisclosed)

Scratched: Anthony Bitetto, Rocco Grimaldi

I could see Bednar wanting Bourque in this game for his gritty style of play. I don't agree with it but I wouldn't be surprised if Bednar feels that way. Still, it doesn't make sense to also bring Ghetto in and scratch Kamenev.

Bednar doesn't seem like the sentimental type and nor should he be when his job is to win games but the only other thing I could think of is that they might just be trying to get everyone into a game with this being the dads trip.

In for the penalty kills

Someone please stuff Sissons into the boiler room just until 11 PM MT. Give him a nice book to read. Thank you.

 

[AvsFan29]

Bednar probably doesn't want Bourque sitting around too long. Pitts is the more winnable game, and I'm assuming Kam will suit up for that one.

 

[Piestany88]

Ok got the call heading out of town to Mack's cousin watch the game on big screen by the wood fire . His only request was to bring 2 donairs for him and his son lol , seriously, no word a lie . He only comes to town about once a week lol , crazy bugger . Got the Avs on my proline let's go !! Pumped for this game

It seems odd for the coach to consider any game more winnable than another with this team. If they want to be considered in the top tier of teams in the league they need to put their best lineup out against the top teams in the league on the road. Kam has been better than Bourque at all points this season, everywhere on the ice. It is the fathers trip so everyone needs playing time explanation makes more sense to me.

 

[henchman21]

Not that I agree with the scratching, but Bourque is far more of a former Pred than Kamenev.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Arg i wouls have rather rested Jost. I totally get putting ghetto and bourque back in though.

LOL, you're funny, suggesting Sissons can read!
He'd be lucky if he can count to potato!

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Bednar's roster moves always leave me wondering why.

It's the thing about his coaching I understand the least. I've really come around to him a coach, but some of his roster moves are maddening.

 

[AvsWraith]

So Barrie starts to heat up and then gets injured... typical Avs season.

smh at scratching Kam for Gork. Bednar does some dumb ****.

I also don't like them mentioning that apparently he doesn't explain to players why they are getting benched or sat. That would drive me insane.

Of course coaches see some games more winnable than others. It's being realistic. The quality of the opponent factors into decisions every game.

 

[forsbergavs32]

I have a feeling I’m going to be glad I’m working during this game, Bednar’s handling of the roster is just puzzling to me.

At the end of the day, these are low impact guys anyways. The top 9 is healthy.

Gork with the game-winner tonight.

 

[UncleRisto]

Christmas is coming, and Bourque is headlining the Children's Hospital tour again. He's gotta get into games.

 

[Spender]

How many goals get called back tonight?
