Week 10: The return of EJ. Flamers, Sabers, and @Jet...ters... err... supthin'

Prosvetov in net tonight!

I know a goalie who's probably not happy with that.

 

[katfude]

Yeah, but you know the cry reaction would just be used to f*** with people, even more than how some use the laugh reaction. It'd just turn into a troll fest.

I don't think laughing at idiots is trolling, personally.

He can look in the mirror. Use your opportunity, or lose it. I like it.

'He does it all': Avalanche's Valeri Nichushkin is playing at his best

The Avalanche have been the beneficiaries of Nichushkin's return to form this season.

theathletic.com

Nichushkin recently missed two games with an illness but has otherwise been healthy enough to play every game this season. He still, though, has occasional foot pain as a result of his injury in the Stanley Cup Final. That was especially the case during training camp.

“I have nine or 10 pins (in the foot),” he said, adding that some doctors said he could take them out while others recommended waiting to do so. “Especially with preseason, extra skating, we spend a lot of time on the ice, that was probably a little bit more pressure (on the foot), because now it feels better. It still bothers me a little bit, but it’s all right to play.”

He added he will probably have the pins removed after the 2023-24 season ends.

I was hoping that foot issue was behind us for good. Hopefully it doesn't get worst.

Do we even know how he got injured in the first place?

 

[UncleRisto]

We did it.

I’m obviously speculating but the way Bednar is talking makes me think there’s a move coming here in the next few days.

At the end of this video that Cousin Eddie posted, Bednar says that Meyers will play on the second line tonight. Our 3rd line meshes so well, so I get not trying to mess with it, but oof. We need some top 6 help soon.

Yikes. Meyers top 6 is not good. I really hope CMac is cooking something up because we need some help up front.

The broken foot from the SCF? It was Palat's skate.

Good for Prosvetov, he’s earned the start. Hopefully George can get some confidence going tomorrow against San Jose.

No pin Nuke going to be a problem for the NHL.

For George sake I hope he wins tomorrow and looks good doing so.

Honestly, we have defensemen I'd like to see tried on the second the line before Meyers, and I've actually been a supporter of Ben's since he his little cup of coffee with us after he initially signed.

Although putting Byram, Manson, Malinski or JMFJ on the second line would be equivalent to Gordon lighting the Bat-Lamp, it would be funny for a few shifts. I'm sure the second line will see a number of players rotate through it.
