Pre-Game Talk: Week 15: Eastern Road Trip (@MTL @OTT @BOS @PHI)

[henchman21]

One guy that is not getting enough praise right now is LOC. 8 goals 19 pts 36-pt pace and leading the team with +13. He is giving the Avs great value on his contract. He has been given more ice time due to injuries and he has taken advantage of it so far. I don't think he will be able to keep going like this for long but congrats to him so far.

Yup... I hope this is the year he can finally finish as strong as he's started. If he can play like this in March, April, and May... that goes a long ways to helping the depth of the team.

Logan O'Connor is going to play here next season then cash in as a UFA in 2025.

Teams will look at his speed, penalty killing ability, and ~10 goals and ~25-30 point production and offer up 4x3 contracts to him. He'll be used as a 3rd liner and be despised by that fanbase immediately because he won't be worth 3M per season.

I'm so happy we have him on a value contract lol.

The real test is if he gets a chance to keep it up in June.

Avs satisfied with the F depth, no callups needed.

We have energy suppliers if it goes that far.

I've said it a few times last season when Nuke was in and out of the lineup due to his foot injury but once again you see how important he is to this team's success. We are now 2-2 with him out of the lineup. Lehky would help but even with him in the lineup last year we were struggling with Nuke out.

He kinda skirted the question about Georgiev. I understand that but the answer could have also been "I want more out of Georgie, I know he can be better, he knows he can be better, he wants to be better, and he's working hard towards that". I would have liked that answer more.

I would have preferred ‘George has played like a turd after a bender’

Thank god no one was called up for this game, don't want to breakup a losing combination.

Hope the Avs are ready to play today, going to the game.

We seem to have a hard time getting ready to start the game on time. With a 1PM local start I don't have high hopes. They'll be ready when the bus gets back to the hotel.

 

[cccoltsicehockey]

Pretty much. Completely expect an auto L once I saw it was a 1pm game.

I hate today’s start time. One of the only times I get a Saturday match that isn’t annoyingly early, Avs play at the same time.

Do I watch the Ambulanche auto loss or the auto loss for the team missing 11 players (5 are at AFCON not injured though) instead?
