Pre-Game Talk: Week 12: The Last Week of 2023 - @ARI, @STL, SJ (or ignore the SJ Game if the Mon-Sun week bothers you)

I have never tried Cocaine. How does it feel? Is it worth trying?

It smells amazing!

It turns your bad feelings into good feelings. You don't want none of that shit.

Well...and then turns those good feelings reeeally, really bad haha

It's a lot of fun. Personally never had any bad experiences with it, or the "come down" afterwards but I know some friends that always struggled with this part the day after.

Malinski still has some things to polish, but I thought he earned a full time spot

 

[Pokecheque]

I hate this f***en team

No worries we f***en hate you

The only reason he went down is because Jones isn't waiver exempt.

No worries he’ll be back after the Avs trade Byram.

I can only take it when I'm already hammered. Otherwise it's just an expensive way to give myself anxiety lol

Good point. I do hope they make some moves and he can come up. Mostly because that means we have made some moves

I thought Malinski was bad against the Blues.

You can tell he needs to learn how to play against bigger, physical forwards. He obviously isn't a fast skater, he's more shifty so he needs to figure out angles and how to handle big guys.

Several times last night a bigger forward made a simple physical move to either shove him or take a good angle and he lost the puck battle immediately.

 

[CobraAcesS]

His statement? I must of missed that.

I’ve had some rough hangovers after using it. The biggest issue I’ve had with it is it drys my eyes out like crazy and gives me really bad light sensitivity/issues with my contacts.

This about sums it up. The fentanyl roulette. Hard pass

Obviously you let your friends try it first! Lol

Losing to the Sharks will suck especially with the return of G

At least we’ll know whos fault it is if they lose to Sharks. We can blame Sammy

He's the only Avs D-man with that issue.

 

[Balthazar]

If G plays with JJ then one of them will have to play the right side

If G plays with Malinski then that pairing is way too small

I have a feeling the D pairs will be in a blender tonight with JMFJ taking limited shifts. We'll probably see all of Toews, Girard, and Byram on the right at some point.

Malinski's last call-up was very promising compared to his first. He has stuff to work on while back down in the AHL but there is no doubt he has won another shot when injuries hit again. Congrats to him for the work he has put in so far.

I think he’s up here for good starting next year
