Pre-Game Talk: The All-Star Hangover. @Rags, @Devils, @Canes, @Fla

[LOFIN]

I got lambasted for it earlier, but Lehky doesn’t create his own offense well. He‘s as good a 3rd wheel for elite talent as you’ll find, but he isn’t going to produce offense on his own consistently.

I mean this was a known thing when we acquired him from Montreal. He's a perfect complementary piece for top-6, but arguably not a top-6 talent himself.

Until you get rid of RyJo, acquire a #2C and Nuke gets back, the best course of action would be to put Rantanen with Lehky and Colton? Put LOC to top line or something.

 

[missionAvs]

Really bad feeling about tonight’s game.

We are going to get murdered.

I'm ready. We will do this together; get murdered that is.

 

[dahrougem2]

I think Florida wins by 4 tonight

Parise/Mack/Mikko
JD/Rosco/Lehky
Wood/RyJo/LOC
Cogs/Olaf/Kivi

Florida's putting up at least 6 on us tonight and I don't see us getting 2.

 

[forsbergavs32]

We were winning and winning, but then the all star break happened and one player has been missing from the lineup for these last 3 games.

Gotta get MacDermid back in the lineup, it’s the key

 

[MaKarter]

Bednar has to get creative. Double shift MacKinnon with either of those 3rd or 4th lines. Make Mikko do something on his own.

Lehkonen- MacKinnon- Parise
Drouin- Colton- Rantanen
Wood- Olofsson- O'Conner
Cogs- Johansen- Kiviranta

 

[dahrougem2]

I love how Parise plays, but he is 39. He is not playing top line with Nathan MacKinnon.

 

[JLo217]

Until they make a trade I don't give a f*** what they do with the roster. They'll outscore their problems for a handful of games. Otherwise who cares if they shuffle lines because they just don't have the depth to do much more.

 

[sethro109]

Maybe the Avs will rally around this tonight? I doubt it, but I've got nothing else positive to hope for.

Sort of hoping they let George get lit up while Malinski goes and slashes him. Happy birthday motherf***er.

 

[dahrougem2]

What better birthday gift than a 6-3 loss giving up 3 powerplay goals?

Just 6 unfortunate bounces for Georgie

 

[the_fan]

Why are they traveling to Washington after today’s game in Florida then coming back to Florida to play the Bolts? Couldn’t they just stay in Florida and play the Bolts and Panthers? This schedule makers are on crack

Honest mistake. They probably thought that Florida was in DC or something.

Tough to rally around a guy when he allows 3 goals on the first 4 shots.

You're not wrong.

They just need to somehow convince George that he's playing the Rangers. He always gives grade A performances against his old club. Does any one know a hypnotist?

 

[Muffin]

Only way we win is if Hart MacKinnon shows up.

 

[the_fan]

I think I know why Georgiev allows 4 goals every game. It’s because he wears #40. He should change it to #30 so he only allows 3

 

[MaKarter]

I love how Parise plays, but he is 39. He is not playing top line with Nathan MacKinnon.

He can't the whole game but I think he should get some minutes with MacK.

 

[dahrougem2]

In the 3rd if the Avs are down, sure, you can send him out with Parise and Lehkonen while benching Johansen.

Otherwise, he doesn't have the legs to play MacKinnon's pace full game.

#1 and #10 are available...

Nooooooo, I said #30 not #1 and #10

We are going to get murdered.

Miami/Fort Lauderdale can be sketch in some places… but Sunrise is safe. I highly doubt murder is on the table. Now cocaine….

Completely. I would like to see more blender from Bednar.
