@The Mars Volchenkov asks the best questions. Bednar has even responded with “great question” before. You can see coach actually enjoys being asked questions by a smart hockey mind instead of the regular old robotic questions he’s gotten his whole life.

Yes they did but since he has not skated on the ice, he will probably play closer to finals. Definitely not next round I would think.
Jost never tried to injure or hurt anyone on purpose. He will never do it but he just had to put his arms up to protect himself from a hit to the head. We would have been singing a different song if Jost's arms were down.

Did we? I seem to recall most people wanted Vancouver. After we lost 1st place in the round robin it was a coin toss between Dallas and St. Louis.

How many times have we lost in OT in the playoffs to them over the years? I seem to recall several 3-2 losses in particular.

It doesn’t seem like a good sign that Newhook is still on a line with the extras two days before game one.

Maybe the organization really likes what they see from Sampo and think he's a better fit for the bottom 6 against either potential opponent. I can see them wanting a guy who can make things messy in front of the opponent's net, whether it's Fleury or Talbot. Also, they've been featuring Sampo a bit on their social media platforms this week. I know Newhook has more long-term upside, but it may not be such a bad thing if Sampo gets a few games in the next series, especially since we know Newhook is healthy. I'd be more worried if Newhook wasn't skating at all.
(Not saying I prefer Sampo over Newhook. Just saying I trust the coaching staff and the organization with both of these guys.)

I wouldn’t be surprised to see Sampo in over Newhook. He certainly plays a heavier game yet still has skill. He seems like more of a fourth line style player than Newhook.
The issue I see with those lines is Soderberg over Newhook. But I guess Bednar isn’t putting two rookies on that fourth line. I’m also curious if Newhook’s hips are even back to 100%.

I like Sampo as much as the next guy and I understand putting Ranta and Rantanen together but over Nate is a stretch, IMO.

6 times. Twice in 2003, twice in 08 (although Avs won that series), twice in 14.

Even if he doesn't play he'll get his name on the Cup

I thought the NHL had a rule that a player had to play a certain amount of games through the season to get their name on the cup.

It's been discussed before but even if he doesn't play at all, and the Avs win the cup, the Avs will petition for his name to be added. He's sill an assistant captain after all, has been on the Avs the longest of anyone left, and has been around the team a lot more since the vaccines/into the playoffs.
