But the penalty kill will be perfect

Only because they will not take even one penalty all week.

 

[Foppa Frossa]

Only because they will not take even one penalty all week.

Zadorov will still find a way to take a penalty for being too big.

 

[Pokecheque]

Where's Ryan Graves?

Well, I didn't look at the list but is he in the top 4 somewhere?

A week ago there was some fire Bednar talk. Going into the All Star break:

-7th in the NHL in points
-2nd in the NHL in ROW
-2nd in goals scored
-2nd best goal differential in the NHL behind only Tampa.
-2nd in the West standings, behind St. Louis, who they have split the season series at 2-2.
-The site hasn’t been updated since Nov 4th, but I’m sure the Avs still lead the NHL in successful coaches challenges. They were 3/3 on Nov 4th, and I believe are 4/5 now? This is more video staff, but Bednar certainly isn’t afraid to challenge.

Players on pace for career years who came from other organizations:
-Nuke
-PEB
-Burakovsky
-Donskoi
-Kadri bouncing back to being on pace for 30+ goals and 50+ points.

He’s getting good results, despite the frustration the team causes during some games.

 

[Balthazar]

If they can fix the PP and the PK it will be real nice.

 

[Freudian]

Just hire Tim Army and then fire him right away. Special teams fixed.
