Agreed, he's been disgustingly bad to start the season, although I hope that this knee injury is what's caused the slow start.
Not sure what people will think of this but I wouldn't mind Stastny centering Sgarbossa and Olver, although both of those players are natural centre's, I have always loved the way Olver plays and Sgarbossa seems to have a high hockey IQ and good offensive instincts shown so far. That way you could play McLeod-Mitchell-Hejduk and then Bordeleau-VDG-Kobasew. I just feel like, although he scored twice last game, Stastny needs someone on his line to get him going, to dig that puck out for him in the corners and Olver is a guy who's tenacious as they get, and who knows, maybe Sgarbossa can be the finisher on that line.
Long shot, I know, and Sacco will probably have those two on the 4th line with Bordeleau once again, but it's a little experiment I'd like to see. Heck, it wouldn't hurt seeing as how Landeskog, Downie, Jones, and O'Reilly are all out. Greedy O'Reilly, just sign already
Anybody think that if we lose, say, Duchene or Stastny, or both to injuries, that O'Reilly would cave? Or that the Avs would cave? I say its the latter
