I guess I wouldn't be taking skating opinions from someone who doesn't have the firsthand knowledge to know what they're looking for in the first place.

His skating isn't man-crush worthy like Brodin, but whoeverthehell is complaining about it is an idiot.

 

[Grover]

Maybe it was a StarCraft reference, where pylons are vital to team growth and success.

 

[geowild]

If I remember correctly, he beat Mikko on the opening draw. Listened on the radio but I'm pretty sure. Other than that I can't recall.

Yes, that is correct on the opening draw.

 

[geowild]

I'm not concerned about Dumba at all...still say it was the right pick. He'll be a force in a few years.

I'm not *concerned* about Dumba. . . just the WJC gave me a medium case of Trouba-envy.

 

[TaLoN]

Yes, that is correct on the opening draw.

No it was not correct on the opening draw... as I mentioned it wasn't Granlund taking the draw vs Mikko to open the scrimmage, it was Cullen.

 

[Fel 96]

Russo disagrees with you.

Mikko vs. Granlund on the draw? The kid beats the captain and mentor #mnwild

I was there, Granlund was announced at the LW and Cullen the center, Cullen took the draw and won.

SEVERAL times through the game though, Granlund back at center did beat the older finn.

I don't know where to put this so I thought I would put it here. I was going to make a GDT for the Avs board for Saturday's game and I was wondering what your line-up is going to be for Saturday.

 

[TaLoN]

Likely like this...

Parise-Kouvi-Heatley
Cullen-Granlund-Setoguchi
Clutterbuck-Brodziak-Bouchard
Powe-Konopka-Mitchell

Suter-Spurgeon
Gilbert-Stoner
Prosser-Falk

Backstrom
Harding

Thanks!

Ours will most likely be something like this

Landeskog - Duchene - Parenteau
McGinn - Stastny - Jones
Downie - Mitchell - Hejduk
McLeod - Olver - Bordeleau

Wilson - Johnson
Hejda - O'Byrne
Zanon - Barrie

Varlamov
Giguere

We have 8 defensemen on our roster right now so I don't know how the defense will look but that is what I'm hoping we roll with.

No Ryan O'Reilly to start the season?

 

[Fel 96]

Pretty sure he's injured.

 

[Generic User]

Pretty sure he's injured.

And hasn't signed a new contract yet, IIRC.

 

[rynryn]

And hasn't signed a new contract yet, IIRC.

holding out, i think, like Subban.

 

[TaLoN]

holding out, i think, like Subban.

Holding out after a lockout... about as dickish of a move you can get.

 

[vitogor]

Speaking of the Avs, someone remind me please. Did McLeod already pay for his hit on Spurge?

 

[Fel 96]

Nope.

 

[vitogor]

Yeah, I didn't think so.

 

[Fel 96]

Hopefully Konopka or Kassian (if he plays) talk to him at some point.

 

[rynryn]

tweet konopka and Kass real quick with the video...that way our bases are covered

So was I. It was Granlund on the opening draw bro.

 

[Jaykay]

So was I. It was Granlund on the opening draw bro.

Cullen was announced as the starting center but I think Granlund took the draw, not that it matters....

 

[Fel 96]

Yeah, really not sure why we're arguing about an opening faceoff draw.
