Do we have a confirmed line up for tonight yet?
Avs fans not only said that Hunwick was a horrible defenseman, but that he was the worst defenseman in Avs franchise history.
Jensen on top line, good chance for him to show what he can do.
AV said at this point @zuccarello36 will not play Thursday against Philadelphia, but "I could change my mind on a dime." #NYR
"directive to play guys on or near cut line"
Does Gilmour have a legit shot of making it? Hard to believe, even with how well he has played.
Honestly doubt it...he has to outplay Skjei (which I think he has done) but also Holden (they've been close but Holden has the vet advantage)
Someone enlighten me.
KREIDER-ZIBANEJAD-PIRRI
What is the reason of playing three snipers/shooters together and no playmaker/other kind of player?
Because it is preseason.
three shooters with other attributes, pirri's the only guy whose shot is his best asset

Zibanejad has me pumped for the season!I lold way to hard at that!
Its preseason. Part of the reason Lapierre stuck around as long as he did and the reason some other guys who should have been sent down a while ago are still here is because of the WC. They wanted extra bodies for the preseason. I am pretty sure AV knows who is going where. Some guys playing more than others (IE Pirri & Zib) would maybe be to get them accustomed to our system.
Preseason isn't really about winning or losing, as much as we enjoy winning these meaningless games. It is about evaluating players, taking notes of their short comings and developing strategies to improve over the course of the season.
Kreider needs to be more consistent. Zib is brand new. So is Pirri. If this was a regular season game I would get the outrage.
