Is Sakic standing on a step in that picture? I could have sworn that Forsberg was an inch taller than him.

Looks like Forsberg is sitting down.

 

[Foppa Frossa]

Pretty sure Peter is sitting and Joe is standing.

Really looking forward to this game, which must be why this 3 day break seems like a 3 week break

Anyway, here's to us finally crashing down to earth, and us seeing the headlines "Seth Jones shines, as he shows the Avalanche why he should of been #1" for the next month

Should HAVE been. Sorry, pet peeve

 

[The Kingslayer]

Mack on the right side makes the most sense. Hes also playing with 2 very responsible defensive players. Time to shine kid time to shine.

Ugh for me it's people who use "dominate" instead of "dominant" and "chocking" instead of "choking"

Mcginn and "Fact Daddy"

You guys think Mitchell or someone will sub for MacKinnon late on the Stastny line or that they'll keep MacK full time on the line? I was never fond of the MacKinnon at RW idea but I am looking forward to watching this line in action. It makes sense now and will be interesting to see MacKinnon in a different role. Seems like he has some chemistry with Stastny and Landy already too.

Mcginn and "Fact Daddy"

Ha, I didn't even recognize McGinn

Good point as Roy hasn't been afraid to bench MacKinnon in close games. I'd guess that yes, if it was a tight situation, MacK may be reverted back to the 3rd line and given a drop in ice time, just temporarily.

Roy is certainly not afraid of shaking things up to his liking, no matter how well things are going haha

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

I'm sure if Roy is subbing a RW on a line with those two at the end of the game, it will be Cliche.

Mcginn and "Fact Daddy"

Damn! Mcginn just rollin around on a moped without socks or gloves on a pretty chilly day here in Denver. Good thing they don't play tonight or he'd essentially be Bordeleau with rock hard hands and cinder blocks for feet

Just read an interesting article on Dallas Eakins, and I thought this was a pretty telling quote:

Eakins said they decided to go to a traditional defence from the swarm defence he was trying to sell.

“My bad. I assumed that we knew what traditional D zone coverage was. It was clear that we didn’t.

I'm really glad we got Roy. I actually wanted Eakins before the whole Roy thing happened (hindsight is 20/20)

 

[AvsfanJack]

I think everything is alright, Jack.

When things are going good, we're a pretty tight-knit group, and we have each others' backs.

Of course, when things are going bad, it's every man for himself!

And, just look how much that single, simple comment has boosted your post count!!!

Good, I'm gonna need it since I'm starting from scratch again.

 

[tigervixxxen]

FYI, Roy said in today's presser that the goalie schedule is Varly, Jiggy (Calgary), Varly (Washington).

 

[Bonzai12]

big fan of McGinn now. You don't know how badly I get grief over driving my 50 CC beast around town

 

[falconski]

why do we have so many long breaks?

 

[bohlmeister]

Mcginn and "Fact Daddy"

Ginner kind of looks like Bad Grandpa in that picture.

What a couple of bosses.

"Mommy" and "Fact Daddy"

 

[RockLobster]

Is that the woman ROR is seeing?

Nice goin' kid...

Roy said they all did yoga today but he didn't participate
