GDT: R1G3 - Avs @ Kraken - Rolling on the Road - 8PM

[Northern Avs Fan]

Could be a death, or illness in the family, or something like that.

Hope he takes the time he needs. That stuff should always come first.

 

[S E P H]

Newhook needs to be scratched ASAP, his play on that GTG for the Kraken was worse than Cliche.

 

[JoeSakic13]

This is concerning. Hope everything is okay with Nuke.

Classic Bednar quote right there.

Could be he broke both legs. Could be he left the oven on. Who knows!

I'll bite. First thought when heard... he's Russian. Family, world affairs...

Mine as well, but as Jared said, they're "personal" and I respect that.

No matter what he and/or his family is going through. I wish them well.

 

[the_fan]

Best of luck to Nuke whatever he’s going through

 

[The Kingslayer]

Personal reasons. Weird.

I almost wish it was an injury geezuz.

 

[expatriatedtexan]

I almost wish it was an injury geezuz.

If Nuke is missing games because of this, I get the gut-wrenching feeling he wishes it was an injury instead as well.

Same. With ya.

Have too many acquaintances on both sides of this... won't say it, but it grips tight when knowing, stuff. Is apparent Val loves his country and is a super sensitive guy, not married, no kids afawk, and... anyway. I hope it is an ingrown toenail on a pet or something.

If Nuke is missing games because of this, I get the gut-wrenching feeling he wishes it was an injury instead as well.

y. I don't like this at all.

 

[MaKarter]

I f***ing love Coach Bednar.

 

[Spleenless Wonder21]

Top-heavy or not, not a damn thing anyone can do when MacKinnon decides to dominate a game

Get the mofo out of his head/when he goes bull in China shop, good luck.

On the bright side, Newhook's qualifying offer is only $874,125 ... should be easy to move him this summer. Seriously, no Landy, no Nuke, and still plays a team low 6 mins cause he sucks. This project is past due.

EJ and Manson may have been slow getting to spots tonight, but they were even on the night and combined for 13 hits.

 

[dahrougem2]

I hope nothing is wrong back home for Nichushkin.

 

[the_fan]

Usually when I hear an Avs player is out with an injury which happened a lot this year, I start to think about hockey and how the Avs gonna survive, but with personal issues, I don’t give a shit about hockey, just wishing the best for Nuke

Sheeeeeitttt.....Cliché was way better defensively than Newhook. He couldn't put the puck in the ocean from the end of a pier, but he could defend competently. Unlike Newhook, who looks like Sam Girard Jr. on the defensive side of things, with lots of contact avoiding, stick waving & puck watching.

Good posts tonight boys, rest up those keyboard hands for Monday

Thanks. I might even finally get around to making my playoff avatar

I like how we never really settled on one this year

 

[BrickNHL]

I like how we never really settled on one this year

we should have done emergency avatars like our GDTs

 

[42k]

Just wow MacK. Love it.

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

This is concerning. Hope everything is okay with Nuke.

Being injured is pretty personal.

Could be some kind of std lower leg concussion.

 

[Muffin]

I almost wish it was an injury geezuz.

His wife could be expecting or something like that.

 

[LOFIN]

Not going to be pretty (the story of the season), but they got it done despite that horrible forward group. Take it one game at a time.
