Bar Down
I don't get why Comeau has become a go to faceoff guy, but he's doing OK with it, I guess. He's already taken 202 faceoffs this year. Before this season, he'd only ever hit 100 faceoffs in a season once.
Barrie was all over the ice tonight. He'll get paid.
I thought Grigs found Iggy a few times tonight for some good chances, and they had some chemistry. The give and go they had entering the zone in the second period was beautiful. He almost fed Barrie for the hat trick late in the game too.
I want to punch Tanguay in the face right now.
Varly looked really bored in the second period before he took that penalty. Not often you can say that.
It's hilarious that Guenin finished a 31% possession player and Redmond a 68% player considering they spent half the game together.
Lolz about tangs - I agree he's being a ninnymuggin, just floating out there. Also agree on Grigs and Barrie.
I haven't watched too many games recently so perhaps this is a recent trend, but it seemed to me like the Avs had a bit more aggression out there with a lot of people finishing checks. McLeod did his job well last night, he and Skille playing like that on a line is just a beautiful bundle of energy (and I'm far from a fervent McLeod supporter). Also must add that Martinsen seems to be progressing nicely. He is starting to get stronger and more confident, it seems like sometimes he just grins at the other guys (e.g. Martinez) trying to rough him up after the whistle and shrugs it off because he knows he would just speedbag 'em if he wanted.
It was nice to see the Avs actually outplay their opponent and get a win at home. Now if we could just add that Drouin guy
