GDT: Game 9: Avs at Flyers | 5 PM MT | October 22, 2018 | When East Meets West...

[The Mars Volchenkov]

Kamenev gets screwed by Jost’s Inability to do anything offensively because they want him to be a C.

 

[Ivan13]

Kamenev getting scratched over Bourque, Nieto or Dano is absurd.

Kamenev can’t play any position other than center?

 

[The Abusement Park]

How the hell is Kam getting scratched? That’s just ridiculous.

That’s where he’s most effective and they know it. And I guess they’re undying love of Bourque hurts too.

Considering how Kamenev has looked compared to Bourque and Nieto, it's a pretty dumb decision. Bednar certainly has his weak spot for low skilled grinder types.

Although that's not really uncommon compared to other coaches either.

 

[The Abusement Park]

I’m still upset that they’re still forcing this Jost at C thing when it’s very clearly not working that well. Sure he’s been good defensively, but he’s been horrible on the offensive side of things.

 

[dahrougem2]

Kamenev looks like two different players when on the wing vs down the middle, so if they're rolling MacKinnon/Kerfoot/Soderberg/Jost down the middle, I can see why he's scratched.

Kerfoot put up 43 points last season and was primarily at centre IIRC. I like Kamenev a lot, but based on performance, Kerfoot is going to get an opportunity to shine first.

That said, I would have scratched Nieto, moved Jost to the wing and kept Kamenev in the lineup.

 

[Foppberg]

I really thought Jost was going to take a big step forward offensively this season, but so far it hasn't come close to happening. He isn't working there, move him to wing.

Landeskog-MacKinnon-Rantanen
Sven-Kerfoot-Wilson
Jost-Soderberg-Calvert
Dano-Kamenev-Nieto/Bourque

There, instantly better.

I’d prefer to see something like this:
Top line
Ghetto-Kerfoot-Wilson
Jost-Soda-Dano
Calvert-Kam-Bork

Really think that’d be a a great 3rd line and give Soda some skill to work with.

The sooner they try out Jost on the wing the better. I always liked when some compared his style to the style of a certain Green Filth wearing #11.

Mack Barise. Legend of the game.

 

[NOTENOUGHJTCGOALS]

Kam doesn't seem like an effective bottom line winger who's job it is to skate into the zone hard and forecheck...

Surprised he can't stay in the lineup as #4 C though.

 

[Freudian]

Elliott (Pickard).

Now is the time to activate our sleeper agents.

 

[Pokecheque]

I was reading that the Flyboys fixed their defensive pairings a little by splitting up Ghost and Prov, so tonight it'll probably be Prov/Hagg, Ghost/Folin, Sanheim/Gudas.

I'm setting the over/under for picks set by Hak's Heroes in the offensive zone at 3.

Those guys are sleeper agents for every team.

Yeah, I saw that but I went with what the Flyers board had up. Good chance they go with those though.

That's fine, no biggie.

I'm not thrilled with Bednar's decision to scratch Kamenev but I suppose it's because he wants the physical guy in there against Philly. So long as it's just for a short period and not an ongoing thing I suppose that's okay...for now.

Apparently Hak's doing something similar with Vorobyev (the guy who scored that ridiculous goal when Barbs ran over Varly) but it's been for three games now.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Kamenev being scratched is completely unacceptable.. i hope this is temporary and theres a rotation of players being switched.

 

[Murzu]

I used to love Parise.

Then he signed with the Green Filth.

Now he is a turd.

Nice, so they will have a pylon on each pairing. We should go after the ghost-folin pairing as much as possible.

He is.....

But I still like him. Just not when he plays against us.

I was thinking the same thing. F-F-F-F-F-F-Folin is really, really bad.
