Nate is back at practice. Sounds like Duchene too, not sure about Landy or Stastny.

They are probably still bummed about losing the gold medal

Just came in here to post this...

There was a tweet earlier, Ill see if I can find it, that said Duchene and Landy would be available to the press after practice. So I think Landy is there... Staz not sure.

 

[tigervixxxen]

Landy is there just not on the ice. Love Matty, he's so gung-ho.

 

[the_fan]

I've heard Duchene traded his gold medal for new fly fishing gear. Any truth to this?

 

[Foppa Frossa]

Apparently the D pairings are (hopefully in no particular order)

Wilson - Barrie
Guenin - Benoit
Hejda - Holden

Varly should feel right at home behind that D

That defense....

At least put Hejda and Barrie together...

 

[tigervixxxen]

It will be like that time we played Chicago and didn't dress a full team

I guess Sarich isn't coming off IR yet

 

[Congo Jack]

Apparently the D pairings are (hopefully in no particular order)

Wilson - Barrie
Guenin - Benoit
Hejda - Holden

Sarich still not ready?

 

[BoxOfChocolates]

But nooooo, don't make a trade for a d-man.

 

[Lonewolfe2015]

Hejda - Holden will be Roy's #1 pairing obviously, just like the last time EJ got hurt and he played Holden something like 24 minutes that night. He knows he can ride Holden without affecting his performance on ice (aka, lack of performance).

It's a shame really, because Hejda-Barrie would be excellent together again. And maybe even show Roy what we saw last year, convincing him to find EJ a new partner and finally giving us a solid 2nd pairing.

 

[the_fan]

LOL how the hell are the Avs 3rd in their division with that defense.

Roy must of been a magician as well as a goalie and we didn't know it

 

[Congo Jack]

But nooooo, don't make a trade for a d-man.

Can't mess with all that chemistry we got.

 

[Former Ladder]

Sarich still not ready?

My guess would be that Roy wants for him to get some more practices in the with team and get closer to game speed before throwing him to the sharks.

 

[member 116861]

At least with these pairings, we have one NHL defenseman on each pairing.

 

[the_fan]

You know your d is sad when people start to wonder when is Sarich coming back

 

[Gigantor The Goalie]

But nooooo, don't make a trade for a d-man.

 

[Hesher]

That D is LA's best chance to break out of their scoring slump.

I almost forgot about the defense. Poor, poor Varlamov.

 

[the_fan]

EJ's suspension could be costly if Avs lose both games without him and Wild win their games, they can pull within 6 points for the 3rd place in the division.

 

[Freudian]

Just tell all six to cover for their partner and it will be great.

 

[EdAVSfan]

Just tell all six to cover for their partner and it will be great.

Can we possibly play a 1-3-2 style...
1 goalie
3 dmen
2 forwards.

Might help.

 

[BoxOfChocolates]

And I'm going to keep beating it until the problem is resolved.

 

[Avs For Life]

Hey! The horse twitched...

 

[Avs For Life]

That D is LA's best chance to break out of their scoring slump.

I lold

Except...LA can only score at the olympics
