Let's be honest--he hasn't been all that great the last couple months at least, if not longer. He's not winning ANY puck battles and what few shots he's generating, he's not hitting the net.

Hes had spurts of good games but longer stretches of games where hes been meh. If hes scratched tonight it sends a clear message that you need to be playing a certain way to play. I dont mind Jared doing this for Game 1 if thats indeed wats happening.

Yeah we all love Newhook and want him to succeed but he's by no means made himself a lock on the fully healthy playoff roster.

Today honestly feels more like the day after the divorce has been finalized.

If anyone should be playing tonight it's MacDermid, not Newhook.

That's the rumor and kind of what was indicated after practice today, but Bednar didn't reveal all of his lineup.

Oh well, maybe going with heavier lineup against the Preds is better

First full season after college, most guys crap out near the end of it, given the games played difference.
Below average defensively, doesn’t drive play, and terrible at FO’s. Seems like a pretty standard Avs bottom 6er.

I would say snow is a very good omen for the Avalanche.

Yeah Newy's game has dropped off the last couple months. Had a feeling he'd be a scratch and the vets would play.
He's playing with much less confidence too. I think sitting will help him. Watch the game from above and it might slow down for him a bit.
Where's everyone seeing he's a scratch though? Didn't see a tweet and Bednar didn't reveal his lineup to the press.

I'm going to need to see Newhook actually scratched before I believe Bednar played all of Compher/LOC/NAK/Cogliano/Helm over him.

Lets see if Rantanen was saving it for the playoffs.
Lets see if Burakovsky can turn on magical playoff light switch.
Lets see if the Avs can deal with a heavy forecheck.
Lets see how long before Kadri gets suspended
Lets see if Girard is the problem or if it was his partner all along

Are MacDermid’s couple hits so valuable that he’s a better option than Newhook. At least Newhook can play.
