Looking rough

 

[NormMac]

not a great start

 

[Lonewolfe2015]

One of the most underrated things Roy has done with this team is instill a holistic approach to defense. Everyone plays defense. Wingers come back into position if the defender is chasing someone, centers pick up their man but not only their man, they also roam in their zone.

Offensively, he's got guys in defensive position already in key passing lanes around the neutral zone, like where O'Reilly was last night. We play a really nice 1-3-1 in the neutral zone and a really good collapsing 1-2-2 defensively.

I love the technicality to his coaching, it shows intelligence which our team has lacked for years.

 

[hockeyfish]

he can jump in and help if it gets deep.

Just give him a shoe.

 

[Avs_19]

Duchene's careless pass near center ice almost leads to trouble. Varly there for the stop.

 

[Freudian]

Good start by Benoit. Simple plays with the puck to relieve pressure.

 

[foppagirl21]

The way that guy gets so worked up over every little thing... hybrid icing is probably going to save his life.

Seriously... the Avs aren't on the radio either????!!?

 

[Avsboy]

Mitchell doing too much

 

[JWK]

I love Downie.

The game is on Altitude now.

 

[Alex Jones]

Just give him a shoe.

he comes equipped with two of them. He's down for anything.

 

[cgf]

The Avs > Weber awesome hit by downie

 

[falconski]

does mitchell think passing is illegal?

 

[BoxOfChocolates]

Awful start

 

[NormMac]

wayyy too many turnovers

 

[Avs_19]

Sarich

Varly there again.

 

[Lonewolfe2015]

So that's what the Flames fans meant by Sarich is awful. Haha.

 

[Alex Jones]

does mitchell think passing is illegal?

he's a terrible fit for that line.

 

[foppagirl21]

Yeah, so if anyone is watching Altitude, could you let us know when it is back on? We're sick of no noise over here.

 

[dwkdnvr]

Seriously... the Avs aren't on the radio either????!!?

yeah - the 950 online feed doesn't have the game. the only thing that works for me is the 'listen' link from the Avs main page.

 

[Unaffiliated]

breakouts looking sloppy, lots of giveaways. get your **** together avs

 

[Lonewolfe2015]

Pass it Mitchell, you puck hog. Barrie was wide open!

 

[NormMac]

Stastny with a strong shift

 

[cgf]

Maybe it's a good thing malkin doesn't pass more, he's awful at it.

 

[Frenchy]

nice shift for the Avs , good pressure

 

[Avs_19]

Finally a good shift. Hopefully that gets them going.
