GDT: Game 58: Knights @ Avs - Climbing the Ladder - 7PM

[dahrougem2]

It's no coincidence that Bo and Manson came back and all of a sudden the team is replicating game 6.

Josh Manson scared the living shit out of William Karlsson tonight. That guy usually tries to skate through the middle of the ice against the Avs at will and there was one shift where he received the puck with speed near our blue line and IMMEDIATELY got rid of it because he saw Manson charging at the last second.

What Kurtis MacDermid does definitely does not work. He doesn't deter shit.

What Josh Manson does will not deter physical play but it sure as f**k will scare opposing offensive players and make them think juuuuuuuust a little bit more about trying to make plays against him on the ice.

Georgiev looks like one of the dudes from Eurolanche that came over on the yearly trip, and the Avs let him play

 

[niwotsblessing]

Manson, Bo, and JMFJ makes for a D that is tough to play against, but not just a bunch of lumbering thugs like the vegas blue line.

Agree. One of the harshest critics of Beds, was finally won over.

I've been a Bednar guy since day one. Never understand the haters.

 

[wayninja]

Annoying that with all the adversity, Bednar still won’t win a Jack Adams.

Dude isn't even off the hotseat.

 

[AvsMakar08]

You just know Kuemper lets in one of those 10 shots in the first 10 mins and deflates the team.

We were a lucky team that Rangers just gave us a 1st goaler. I guess they had two or 3.

According to some of the haters on this board, you are correct.

I'm also a huge @Bender guy

He's on the tepidseat

JJ was very solid his first game back with us as well.

Only guy I didn't like tonight was Meyers. Dude is not an NHLer imo

Damn autocorrect.

As one of those people, I got a scolding from you at one point.

You were right. Some of us are just slow to see the light.

I have a calendar reminder to bump the thread.

Meyers has been disappointing. He hasn't seemed to progress at all this year.

JJ: 19:19
Hunt: 9:57

Playing 20+ mins per night, while getting caved in on Chicago was good practice/conditioning for JJ

 

[Turbonium]

Suck it Vegas.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Bhunt

 

[Mooserton]

Great all round effort tonight but I especially loved Rantanen, Byram and Toews.

24 games left. How many goals does Mikko get? Over/Under 55?

I’m gonna say12 more

 

[S E P H]

Who is the player that lost the faceoff to Pietrangelo? He needs to be traded as soon as possible lol.

I can't see him scoring 15 in 24. Yes he's scoring 0.69 goals per game but 55 seems a bit high. I can see him hitting 50-52.

Was one of the voices of reason here when people were also freaking out about Sakic before he even got the GM seat warm. Now look at it, ESPN is telling teams to not trade with his replacement.
