GDT: Game 65: Avs @ Wild | Tuesday, March 1st, 6pm MT | 18 and Counting

[Metallo]

6'0", 205lbs.

Not the tallest guy but a stout player. Holds his own and can blaze on the ice.

I've always been a fan of his. The biggest problem I've had with Avs fans in the threads since the trade has been the use of Advanced stats to justify him not being that good. Isn't our entire team bucking the trend of advanced stats to even be in the playoff hunt? Boedker is a player that bucks that trend too. Analytics will never beat the eyetest.

Altitude mentionned 6'2" 216lbs...

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

Boedker has been real good. Gelinas has been meh. He's had lots of turnovers up the boards, and I think he got a little lucky on that penalty call. The effort is there, though. Surprised he's already with Barrie.

 

[Frenchy]

I like what i saw from Boedker in the second period , If nothing else he will make our PP more dangerous and it's a huge thing for us . We had nights were a goal here and there on the PP would have won us a few games .

 

[Hans Landaskog]

While I agree with you on that our trade deadline wasn't super terrible or whatever, it's petty to call out individual posters. We're supposed to be friends!

That Cracker guy is a friggin social justice warrior.

 

[Lumipanda]

Gelinas...he's a project. Though he did draw a penalty.

Boedker needs to stay on this team.

Sounds good.

Also I'm very happy as to what I've seen from Picks during those last few minutes with penalty killing.

Let's win this one boys, we have to.

 

[katfude]

This bug chicks commercial is already pissing me off.

I just saw it for the first time today, and I've already seen it 100 times.

WE GET IT YOU LIKE YOUR DUMB CHEAP COMPUTER

 

[Freudian]

Roy has to adjust his PP personnel, Comeau should not be there with

Duchene, Iginla, MacKinnon, Boedker, Soderberg, Landeskog, Grigorenko, Barrie, EJ, FB, Bigras, and Gelinas

I mean that's ****ing seven forwards, and five defenders. Are you kidding me with Comeau on the PP still?

I thought it was given that Comeau would be off the PP, but Roy really likes him.

Definitely not over six foot tall. But he's a stout player. Definitely plays bigger than his size.

Smart *****, they're everywhere!

Biggest period of the year coming up. Starts with a kill.

Oh leave them be. Apparently we're only allowed to call a bad idea a bad idea in hindsight, or something.

How dare you! I'm like, totally offended! Insulting white people with that offensive term...

I think this had a lot more to do with how horrible that Holden Barrie pairing was in the first period. Roy changed it up after the third goal IIRC.

We can still all be friends. I just would like to see what they have to say about Boedker now. It's only one game but he is a lot of fun to watch so far. Honestly just hoping they feel th e same and perhaps even starting to come around

 

[BaconNater]

Im nervous and shaking I think.

 

[chet1926]

I thought it was given that Comeau would be off the PP, but Roy really likes him.

I think this penalty he just took, might spell the end of his PP time. As you mentioned too much talent behind him to be taking penalties on the PP.

 

[CobraAcesS]

I thought it was given that Comeau would be off the PP, but Roy really likes him.

That face off ability though right?

When you have four ****ing natural centers in that top seven forward group it shouldn't be a reason to keep Comeau out there.

 

[hoserthehorrible]

Everything Boedker does is super fast. He skates super fast. He stick handles super fast. His shot release is super fast. He's also good at reading the play and making cool calm decisions.

I like the chemistry he has on the team and it's only been two periods.

 

[AslanRH]

This is the Boedker that will be seen 85% of the time if he gets to play with skilled guys.

All the little things he brings that Tangs couldn't anymore will really start to matter as he and the team become familiar with each other

He's -1 in the game so far. But all that shows is how terrible the +/- metric really is for determining how effective a player will be.

He's played very well.

Pick a number!

Maybe I heard wrong or Altitude is wrong.

Eliteprospects have him at 6 feet 212

You can call anything you want a bad idea. You are just wrong when it comes to the Boedker trade

 

[avsfan09]

Boedker also slightly looks like O'Reilly, so he can be his physical replacement.

His skating looks way too nice to be hunch back O'rielly.

 

[Alex Jones]

Boedker runs very hot and very cold. Love him now, hate him later.

 

[chet1926]

Well it's time for our kids to grow up and our vets to show up. We have to win this period. Just figure out a way to get it done.

 

[Frenchy]

They are showing the replays between period on the wild feed .
Each time that the wild scored a goal its like they won the Stanley cup , but when we scored is like someone turn the volume down somehow .
