GDT: Game 64: Avs vs Canucks | 7:30 PM MT | February 27, 2019

[avsfan09]

So does he consider Dries and Bourque consistent because they consistently blow?

 

[Avsboy]

Those are good lines

 

[mapletreemarty]

Let's just go out and curb stomp these f***ers....look at those D pairings...if we cannot abuse that back end then we don't belong in the playoffs.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

At this point, it wouldn't surprise me to see the Avs lose by more than 1 goal in OT.

They'll have a goal scored against them and not known it crossed the line and then they score again

 

[Goulet17]

So Varlamov is rewarded for his fantastic performance last game. Nice one Bednar.

Bednar has his guys and he is going to ride them. Different standards apply in my opinion, but he is not the only coach out there with the same approach.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Not a big fan of Brassard on the left and I worry about offense being produced with Jost at center and Calvert on his wing. I would have just swapped Brassard and Jost.

That makes too much sense.

 

[Goulet17]

I understand that some of this is simply coach speak, but how is Greer supposed to have any consistency when he receives 6 minutes of sporadic shifts on the 4th line? If Bednar was being truthful, I think he would acknowledge that Greer was playing much better in his recent call up.

 

[AllAboutAvs]

Jost played his best games since coming back while on a line with Landy and Calvert. He did score last game while officially being with other players but when he scored Landy was on the ice while in the middle of a line change. I for one am happy they are back together.

Either that or we're going to make Markstrom look like a god again.

 

[Avsboy]

Jost works well with Landy and Brassard may have chemistry with Soderberg in practice. The lines are good.

They got Ghetto away from Mack and replaced him with Rantanen. I'm happy.

There's no Bourque in there, so the lines are already an improvement from last game.

 

[Avs_19]

I thought the Jost-Brassard-Calvert line worked well but I don't mind the look of this. I prefer Jost at center and he has played well with Landeskog on his line.

Never been so happy to see Wilson back. I still think Bourque is okay to fill in for a game or two but you can't have him as a regular, especially in the middle of a playoff push.

 

[Avs]

Glad Jost is back with Landy

 

[Over the Pants Landy]

good lines my only tweak if I were in charge which I'm not would be Compher and Calvert switch.

Either way I like these. I think Jost with Landy needs to stick.

Dude’s an absolute moron who plays favourites. He just can’t say it outright.

Find a coach in the NHL that doesn't play favorites. Your opinion on Bednar's intelligence is up to you, but playing favorites is not unique to Bednar. Coaches have guys they trust more than others.

 

[Raucherhusten]

I don't mind those lines. It's the best we can do atm. Greer would be our 13th forward so i'm fine with him being in the AHL. As long as he's our first callup of course.

We should win this. We have to win this. We will win this.

It’s not, but there are no reasons to flat out make up nonsense to cover it up.

 

[Avs_19]

Fans also play favourites and usually gravitate towards the young prospect. Greer shouldn't be playing above anyone in the top nine and they need a center so it's really between Greer or Ghetto. I'd go with Greer, even for a few minutes a game, but who knows if that decision is even up to Bednar. It would be surprising to me if Bednar actually wants anything to do with Ghetto in his lineup.

Every damn coach in the whole world does this. So every coach is a moron to you? Look at our lineup. Greer would be our 13th forward. So he's better off in the AHL where he can actually ... well, PLAY.

Landeskog - MacKinnon - Rantanen
Kerfoot - Brassard - Compher
Nieto - Soderberg - Calvert
Greer - Jost - Wilson

Our 12 best forwards, IMO.

Bourque should be the 13th forward, Dries should be in the AHL, and Andrighetto shouldn’t be playing in our organization.

 

[Ivan13]

The point is you can’t say he is inconsistent and that’s why he doesn’t play when he doesn’t even get to play, and when Gorque, Andrighetto, Dries etc have been consistent at being bad.

Yeah you're not wrong about that part.
