Miska?

Apparently the goaltending situation is Colorado is going so well that Hunter Miska has deleted his Twitter account. Not to pile on, but... let's pile on.

Ha-Ha Miska sounds like a WFL name.

I think not Miska 100%
Miska missed 4 goals in 1st period against Ducks. Avs looking for backup urgently
Avs fans bulled Miska maybe

I see we have a really nice guy playing on the third pairing.

The powerplay is saved!

If we are playing thenAvs, shouldn't Greenway-JEE-Hartman be a line that we can throw out against the Mackinnon line? Parise and Bjugstad aren't exactly defensive stoppers, and JEE is tailor made to go against Mack.

Yeah probably

 

[Minnesnota]

I expect Bednar to do everything in his power to keep MacK away from JEEK, with last change and all.

Mackinnon not having his typical MVP caliber season. Would be fun if we could help get him under a point per game

His shooting percentage is very low. That won't last. Only a matter of time. He's playing the game the right way and teams are realizing that they still get killed if they devote all their energy to shutting his line down. That Kadri line is very, very good.

Yeah, we'll see. Haven't seen any updates, but the Avs are definitely not the Coyotes.

I guess Makar's back in (yay...) and Girard is out? No idea what that does to their pairings.

 

[Mighty Makar]

Girard is playing tonight. I’m guessing:

Toews Makar
Girard Graves
Byram MacDonald

Pretty good defensive corps. I don't like that!

 

[Mighty Makar]

Pretty good defensive corps. I don't like that!

I don’t mind.

 

[Soldier13Fox]

I don’t mind.

Lol, I'm sure you don't!

 

[Mighty Makar]

Lol, I'm sure you don't!

You guys have good D, too.

 

[Soldier13Fox]

You guys have good D, too.

No doubt. I actually like that both teams are playing great this year, makes our games way more fun rather than one team constantly trouncing the other.

 

[Bazeek]

You guys have good D, too.

I'm not complaining, but it's a hell of a thing when a 9-game win streak and a shutout doesn't guarantee you the next start.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

I'm not complaining, but it's a hell of a thing when a 9-game win streak and a shutout doesn't guarantee you the next start.

They don’t want Hunt to ruin the streak.

 

[DeagleJenkins]

They don’t want Hunt to ruin the streak.

Way to stay positive while also negative

 

[ThatGuy22]

I'm not complaining, but it's a hell of a thing when a 9-game win streak and a shutout doesn't guarantee you the next start.

Especially when they let Talbot have the next start after his shutout.

 

[Bazeek]

Especially when they let Talbot have the next start after his shutout.

Yeah, I'm not even sure which way I'd go here. I get the feeling that whoever they put in is going to have their work cut out for them tonight; I thought we saw quite a few odd man rushes against Arizona, so if they don't tighten up a little it'll probably be worse against the Avs. Especially with Hunt in for Soucy. I doubt they're all that worried about Kahkonen's confidence at this point, but it might be a consideration.

Ultimately they can flip a coin and I'll feel good about our goaltending at this point, though.

Prefer the goalie who isn't going to cough up alot of rebounds on this talented team.
