GDT: LA Kings vs Colorado Avalanche 10/2/14 7pm MST l The "What's a 'Win'?" Edition

[Bubba Thudd]

I got a free T-shirt at the game last night.
They were throwing them into the crowd, and I snagged one.
It's blue and says "Avalanche Territory".

You should have pulled an Edmonton and thrown it on the ice.

Man, Nate sure is gonna have to avoid a lot of this in his career. Guys are gonna be getting beat and sticking their legs out left and right on him. I wonder if this is why Landy tried to fight Muzzin, which is hilarious since the last time he fought him it was because of a hit on a different MacKinnon in junior.

 

[Bubba Thudd]

Landy circled behind the Kings' net and tried a wraparound.
Muzzin knocked him down, then proceeded to "accidentally fall" on Gabe when he was down.
The Skog took offense to it.

That's my job at IceCaps games

Ah, that's what happened. Was that before or after that play with Nate, and was that the hit he looked hurt from?

I'd like to see that don't mess with me or my teammates Landy a little more. I don't want him getting hurt, but I'd like to see him drop the gloves a few times a year just to send a message. The way Iggy does it.

Got to give him credit though, when he does drop the gloves it's always with guys bigger than him. That's pretty rare. JJ is 6'1" 230 lbs, Chiasson is 6'4" 205 lbs, and Muzzin is 6'3" 214 lbs.

I didn't see the hit on MacK.
I don't have the talent for watching the entire ice the way some of yinz do...I'm a puck-watcher.
Which is why I can't give good scouting reports from the game...Sorry.

EDIT: I'll say this though: I didn't realize just how often the ice girls are out there. They get more ice time than many of our players!

All good, thanks for the info anyway.

Rendulic did look good when I saw him, though. In the play, made a few (kinda soft) checks.
Everberg was OK, but made a few gaffes. Especially on the PK.
Reto looked pretty good.
Briere was a face-palm most of the night.

The three games I saw, Rendulic looked better each time. Pretty sure one of the coaches or maybe his agent told him he needs to engage more physically if he wants to make the NHL, because he picked up the intensity and became less of a perimeter player.

If he continues to progress as he gets more and more comfortable, he easily could be the best of the new additions. Everberg has the edge in being more bullish, but Rendulic easily has the best puck skills of the bunch. He might be able to play a poor man's Hossa type of style.

Question... One or both of Everberg and Rendulic have to clear waivers if their sent down correct?

Before. The hit on MacK was from McNab in OT. Landy was in the third.

No because they are on their ELC (I think that's the reason but it's definitely no)

 

[StayAtHomeAv]

Neither one

Ah that's right. I remember reading it was McNabb earlier in the thread. Thanks.

 

[InjuredChoker]

it's their lack of years and games in NHL, not bc they are on ELC.

they'd have to be in the league for 3 years or play more than 60 (everberg) and 70 (rendulic) games for them to become eligible for waivers. which ever comes first.

 

[CobraAcesS]

Thanks, with all of the small one way contracts they handed out I've lost track. But I guess it was just defenders (Noreau), and Vincour that need to clear waivers?

I thought there was an age aspect to that as well.

Edit : Elliott has 58 NHL GP Btw... So there must be a ELC element, and/or an age factor

yeah, age too. but its not that relevant in rendulic's and everberg's case.

elliott has already had 3 years in NHL/AHL. that's why he's out of options. or if he had played 160 games in NHL.

 

[tigervixxxen]

It's how old you are when you sign the ELC. If you are under 20 like when many top draft picks sign you get more time and games. Guys like Rendulic and Everberg were older, also their ELC is only two years.

Noreau and Vincour had also been on ELC previously is the difference in their case too.

But doesn't it have to do with the team who signed them first holding their rights in the case of Everberg and Rendulic? Therefore it is about them having an ELC? I understand when they hit their games played then that's not the case but initially it is?

Avs are gonna go 0-82 while only scoring 20 goals this season

Classic
Lmao
While in reality Avs go on record scoring pace this year as nhl officials start to actually read the rule book realizing it IS a penalty to clutch grab and other wise impede a player.

In a reality where pigs fly, maybe.

A red X means they have to go through waivers. A green box with numbers is the years and games they are allowed to play before going through waivers.
