Duchene thinks he's playing good hockey and doing the right things but he's just snakebit right now. A bunch of quotes here......

I'm just going to go ahead and say I disagree.

 

[dahrougem2]

"I feel like I'm doing the right things out there."

No Matt, you are not. You look horrible out there.

 

[ASmileyFace]

Watching Duchene erode any good faith he had left with fans has been disappointing to say the least.

The dude hasn't been playing good hockey for a long, long time.

Actually he's shown some life in the last couple of games. The Landeskog/Duchene/Compher line has been producing at a CF% of 65.79 over 40 mins of ice time (small sample size I know). Hopefully they can finish strong.

He must be talking about face-offs, and only face-offs...

 

[Avsblitzkrieg]

I'm lazy, when is the next game? Tomorrow?

 

[Avalanche]

@ Duncan and Rocco,

Go get 'em, tigers!

 

[Nalens Oga]

Ok which of you in Denver has enough money to hire a sign in the sky and knows what rhymes with Bednar?:

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Guess this goes here. Saw the video of the Avs using a constant strobe light on Upshall in the penalty box. Ridiculous and stupid, about as pathetic as the Avs season has been. Who thought that was a good idea? Yea, let's use strobe lights, seizures aren't a thing. Idiots.

It's common all over the NHL. Most arenas have the visiting goaltending getting strobed when scored on. Lot's do the penalty thing as well. This did look more severe than I've ever seen before though. Not sure if the intensity of the light changed or something but it was pretty intense

 

[tigervixxxen]

Who wants to play roster guess who and then I'll make the GDT.

 

[dahrougem2]

Andrighetto-MacKinnon-Rantanen
Bourque-Compher-Duchene
Landeskog-Jost-Grimaldi
Nieto-Grigorenko-Comeau

Barberio-EJ
Tyutin-Barrie
Wiercioch-Beauchemin

That's my guess

 

[UncleRisto]

Andrighetto-MacKinnon-Rantanen
Bourque-Compher-Duchene
Landeskog-Jost-Grimaldi
Nieto-Grigorenko-Comeau

Barberio-EJ
Tyutin-Barrie
Wiercioch-Beauchemin

That's my guess

Oh, so Siemens is with GolouBFF in the press box! Perfect.

 

[tigervixxxen]

Moser says guys banged up so I'll just guess then!

 

[Goulet17]

It makes no logical sense in my mind for the Avs to call Siemens up and not play him, so I'll wait to see what happens.

Edit - Moser says he is playing, so a couple of Avs defenders from the last game must be out.

 

[Avs_19]

I figured Siemens would sit since he skated with Goloubef but I guess not. Maybe they're both in.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Welcome back to the NHL kid...oh yah you are playing with the guy whose been nachos for a month. Good luck.

 

[Avs_19]

Bednar says Comeau, Lindholm, and Tyutin are all out. The first two are banged up but I'm not sure about Tyutin.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Damn I wish Comeau was sat because he sucks. he seems to be the only bum who hasn't had to pay any consequences for his awful play this year.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Bednar says Comeau, Lindholm, and Tyutin are all out. The first two are banged up but I'm not sure about Tyutin.

Lindholm wasn't a surprise. Dude hit the boards hard. Hope the other two can come back in a few weeks and its nothing serious. Hopefully we don't rush Tyutinand Como back until they are 100% healthy and get a few practices in.

This could be fun tonight with Siemens, Goloubef and Wiercioch all in lol.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

I hope Siemens just lights someone up on his first shift. Give them a reason to play him a decent amount of minutes.

Landy-Jost-Grimaldi is a line I actually like.

I see what you did there!
