Post-Game Talk: Game 82 | Giggy's Farewell | Avs @ Ducks | April 13th | 6PM MST

Didnt watch the game, how was Elliott?

A lot like Barrie to start the year, but better offensively. He didn't fit into the system very well, was stuck with Wilson defensively and not quite crisp in his pickups with the man to man system.

I did feel that he showed his potential very well though. Even at the net, he was stronger than Barrie. So hopefully he requires a little less sheltering in the future since he's going to be playing with Guenin or Holden for the most part probably.

This is like the 10th last Sellanne game I've seen.

I wonder who keeps the puck he or Jean sebastien giguere?

Looked like Giggy handed Teemu the puck when they did their little lap. Pure class from Giggy. Hard not to like the flash either.

Selänne was an honorary Swede last night

 

[Ceremony]

He prefaces the Berra article by stating it's the fans who have complained about Berra to him, he is just responding to that. I don't disagree that it was the wrong choice to play him but Dater does dwell on the point somewhat.

The content is neither here nor there though, any time the guys name is mentioned the hating bandwagon appears over and over. We know the Avs won't allow any beat writer open access, he is doing the best he can with the access he gets.

You tell 'em AD!

Haha, if I was able to watch the Avs even a fraction of what AD does live Id be happy to take the flak. Unfortunately Im an Avs fan from about 4000 miles away who uses the DP as one of the main ways to keep up with Avs news!

I thought he was fine bordering on a good game. He had some issues picking up his man (especially when Wilson started wondering around the ice), but he had good stick work defensively (broke up a 2 on 1 and was keeping players' sticks tied up all night) and showed good offensive instincts. He also didn't seem to shy away from contact nearly as much and was taking the body slightly more. He has a long ways to go before he can be relied upon for big minutes, but he should be good enough for bottom pairing and power play duty if needed in the playoffs, and going into next year, he should look good in that role.

Now Wilson on the other hand... should never see the ice again in an Avs uniform. He has gone from a rookie surprise who looked like he could be good to injury prone, but decent when on the ice to a freaking train wreck. Trade him for a bag of pucks or buy him out.

Roy's system sure got implemented in Lake Erie, huh?

And the Dater thing. I'm not going to harp on it and we are past that but he's giving incorrect information. Again. It's not nit picky, it's constant.

Not a chance. Not ever.

Can we bring back Sacco? I'm running out of stuff to hate on the avs over and its starting to scare me... like a toddler being too quiet.

There's always John Mitchell. Oh wait...

Teemu got the puck. Giggy picked it up out of the net and held onto it until Selanne grabbed him and they skated the rink.

What in the world could I hate about Johnny Malkin? I hope Roy realizes the error of his ways and makes him 1c and replaces landesbad with mitchell for captain!
