GDT: GAME IV - 10/11/18 5pm Colorado @ Buffalo: The Rasmussance

[Balthazar]

Poor Soda.

 

[Balthazar]

Sheesh, Patrik Berglund as their 2C? I'm sure that's what Jeff Skinner signed up for lol.

You mean Rasmus Skinner

 

[Joe Sakic]

Bourque and Calvert should be switched

 

[Foppa Frossa]

Come on Aves, beat these lousy swords

swordes.

 

[LieutenantDangle]

Kamanev confirmed? Alright already!

 

[Goulet17]

Looking forward to Kamenev's 6:49, -1, 4 PIM stat line

Looking forward to that and the several pages of discussion of how he cost the Avs the game due to his laziness and how Dries should have played on the 4th line.

Also looking forward to Dahlin scoring his first goal and having his breakout game against the Avs.

Coming in peace from the Sabres board. Are all your GDT's this funny? Well done.

Yes. We're f***ing hilarious.

 

[Ceremony]

damn dawg. Go easy on the poor guy

I was, otherwise I would've called him Grigorenko Part 2.

 

[tucker3434]

Usually, I’d bitch about a guy like Kamenev being on the 4th line, but I actually like that line. He’ll have offensive chances there.

 

[Pokecheque]

AJ is arguing with people on Twitter that the 4th line is actually the 3rd line in terms of usage, which kinda makes sense since last season's 3rd line was most definitely the most used trio of players outside of the MacKinnon line. I actually didn't see TOI and usage stats for the last game, in the game before against Philly the bottom two lines played almost identical minutes.

 

[McMetal]

Aren't both of the "bottom six" lines getting similar usage through three games at ES? I thought I remembered seeing that stat posted.

 

[expatriatedtexan]

Does AJ not argue with people on twitter?

 

[Piestany88]

Unfortunately I could see Grigorenko 2 , hopefully he proves otherwise

 

[Foppa Frossa]

100% this will happen

If I had a dollar for every time we've heard "Scoring his first NHL goal..." in games against the Avs...

 

[ASmileyFace]

I personally am looking forward to Mackinnon making Dahlin look Spurgeon levels of silly.

 

[Foppa Frossa]

Would sure be nice to go .500 on this mini road trip. They could really get themselves in a hole early on if they don't figure out how to play on the road.

I don't think it's lack of not knowing how to play away. I would say lack of quality top6 players is a much bigger concern. We have one great line and then the rest. Explains why we will always struggle away.

Yup. Way easier for us to get the crappier matchups since we don’t have the depth to neutralize that.

Yeah and that contributes to more chaos when Bednar can't match lines the way he wants.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Those lines confirmed?

4th line of Kam-JTC-Calvy looks more interesting than the 3rd line of LBN-Soda-Gork.

Also, Zads-Nemmy... yikes, let's hope they don't have to pass further than 5 feet.

Zads and Nemo were to bad in the opener vs the Wild. But who knows on the road.

 

[dahrougem2]

I wonder who Zadorov will smash tonight. Hopefully, somehow, Ristolainen.

 

[forsbergavs32]

Gotta watch the game later (thanks work) hopefully Google doesnt spoil it this time, I think I got the updates turned off

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Dahlin is playing ... might actually watch this game.
