GDT: Game 66: Avs @ Ducks|3/3 2pm MT

Im curious as well as i haven't heard anything but speculation about that

I’m going off of forum speculation.

 

[Spleenless Wonder21]

We'll sign him to 9.5M X 5.

I can live with that.

 

[AvsFan29]

Not the $10.5-$11+ million being thrown around...

I'd be happy with 9.5-10.5x8

 

[BleedWell]

All I know is, IMO, Barrie & Rantanen aren’t worth their presumed asks on their next contracts.

Rantanen was the best forward tonight. Don't put him on the same sentence with Barrie.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Such a weird season. I don't know where this team stands right now. I'm really looking forward to the draft though.

IMO, they are the same as they were before the season started, an up and coming team with one great line, a few young defensemen that could really good in the future, have a top 4 pick coming in a loaded draft, and that needs more help, especially with secondary scoring. And now they have more questions in net than we assumed they did, and some decisions to make with a few players, but have a lot of cap space to address those needs.

Looking at the roster, why do i feel like im looking at the current broncos roster...holes all over the place

 

[Balthazar]

I can live with that.

It's really bad.

 

[Hmmm]

It does look like a slice of swiss cheese

 

[Spleenless Wonder21]

It's really bad.

As in high side bad, I presume?

 

[AvsFan29]

It's really bad.

How is it really bad? I'd prefer more term for sure.

Only 5 years sucks. Then you have to convince him to stay and if he wants to test the market you're f***ed.
I could totally see the Avs offering 5 years to keep the AAV under 10M.

Florida hit the post with 9 sec left = 2 points for Ottawa. One of these days.

Yah I want 8 as well. Every agent in the league is trying to get 5 year deals right now.

 

[NOTENOUGHJTCGOALS]

Bring up Toninato just because he's an actual ****ing center. This is not difficult. Bring Greer up because he adds energy and tenacity to the fourth line. Leave Dries and Bourque in an Arby's parking lot for all I care.

Run with a Landeskog-Jost-Wilson third line and then a Greer-Toninato-Calvert fourth line. Now everyone is in their proper position and you can play that fourth line more than 4 minutes a night.

The Arby's manager will be too smart to let those two clowns to run a drive through.

Maybe scrubbing toilets.

 

[greasysnapper]

As an outsider, this team looked way better without Brassard and Cole. Even with that PP tally.

I really thought Agozzino injected some heart and hustle into the lineup that was infectious. I saw 2 games with him and Nieto, Greer, trying to think who else was in there that wasn't today, and that Colorado team looked very good. The one today, not so much.

 

[Avs425]

So then its a non issue? Im not paid to be a fan of what i do for a living. I may love what im doing but im not paid because of that

Anyways bednars comment about its not whos on the ice is terrible. Sounds more like a comment made because he had no clue what to say

Lauren, that you?

 

[Tyler Durden]

What did everyone think of Zadorov, tonight?

 

[Spleenless Wonder21]

First rule of Zadorov is you don’t talk about Zadorov.

 

[armedequation]

Lauren, that you?

Think the second part of my post says no lol and dont insult her like that. Ive never looked that good lol

 

[Avsboy]

It's interesting how no one is doing a write up of the players this game. Was it just universal suck?

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Rantanen was the best forward tonight. Don't put him on the same sentence with Barrie.

you are something special

 

[Spleenless Wonder21]

It's interesting how no one is doing a write up of the players this game. Was it just universal suck?

In my inexpert opinion I’m unsure anyone was particularly good, but particularly MacK, Soda, EJ, Barrie (yes, I said it, well, typed it), & Girard at least showed a sense of urgency after the opening 5 minutes. I felt board scapegoat Grubauer was solid overall, as well.

 

[Raucherhusten]

What did everyone think of Zadorov, tonight?

Let me put it this way: The day Zadorov gets traded Sir Elton John will rewrite his "Candle in the wind" one more time. For all of the Avs fans around the world it will be a sad, sad day.

 

[Mules]

So, three years under Roy as head coach, Avs made it to playoff once, the other two are playoff bubble team. Three years under Bednar, 1 year made it to playoff, 1 year as lottery team, and I think this year is a playoff bubble team ( that will not make it).

It's more than coaching, I think. We have no depth. That said, I am hoping there will be coaching change in the off season.

Good
