GDT: The **** You Adam Foote GDT - CBJ @ COL - 9PM

[Columbus Jack]

Best game I’ve ever seen Bjorkstrand play. He was a puck hound on both sides of the ice, really showed great speed with the puck while attacking the net, and made great decisions.

This Bjorkstrand is a keeper. Only question is can he keep this level up consistently?

The real question is, will he be put into a position to succeed consistently?

Wennberg scored a PP goal. You know what that means... the team gets a pizza party!

IIRC Avs are 1-9 in OT this season, no need to fear us there either.

Wow....I didn't look at the stats. Your top 3 skaters should be tailor made for OT

So, OT with no defence? They don't have that D suited for OT success.

Gotta hand it to them. A really solid period of hockey when they needed it most, against a team just as desperate for two points. Gotta keep it up tomorrow and Saturday.

Funny, the team we saw in the third period is a team we see often in the road whites: aggressive, confident, quick and in control for the most part. They don't always win on the road, but with the exception of Amalie Arena in Tampa, they always compete.

I don't understand for the life of me where that team goes when it's time to play at Nationwide arena. Slow, timid, insecure and fragile when wearing the home blues. Next 5 home games will define this season - WSH, NYI, TBL, SJS, PIT. Need to win at least 3 of those 5 games to believe we are a contender again.

Hey guys, Avs fan here. Was just curious as to why Ryan Murray wasn't in the lineup last night and how he's looked this season in general?

Congrats on the W, hope you guys see what we mean by not having goaltending haha. Best of luck on the season!

Best season of his career so far. He's emerging as our #2 guy, especially defensively. Super reliable and he has been chipping in offensively. He is out day to day with a lower body injury.

That's fantastic to hear! Glad he's developing into that defender for you guys, what kind of contract do you believe he'll get in the off season? #2 over Werenski? How has ZW been progressing?

Z is ridiculously talented, but often loses foot races and is occasionally out of position because of it. He still has to learn the nuances of playing defense... he could still develop into a star #1, but right now I think he's a strong #3 for us.

Do you view either of them moveable for the right asset or are both close to untouchable? Who would be easier to move?

For the right asset either.

If someone came along and offered us an under 25, high end forward, I'd consider moving Werenski. We aren't going to be trading Murray for futures, the ask would be similar but obviously we would expect less of a return.
