Pre-Game Talk: Week 16: The Week Before The All-Star Break; Caps and Queens

[Bill Peckerskull]

Wednesday vs. Caps
Friday vs. Kings

Then a 9 day break

Looks like Lehky will be back vs. The Caps. Not sure about Bo, but there's a possibility

[Mighty Makar]

I’m pumped to get Lehky back.

 

[Perratrooper]

I wonder what they do with the lines with Lehkonen back. I wonder if they test anyone else out at center? If not I think we seen lines of:

Lehkonen-MacK-Rantanen
Drouin-Colton-Wood
Cogs-RyJo-LOC
Kivi-Oloffson-MacD

Uhhh a 2C and bumping RyJo/MacDermaid out of the lineup would go a long way.

Hopefully we get a fully healthy lineup for playoffs and get to roll out

Lehkonen-MacK-Drouin
Nuke-2C-Rantanen
Kovalenko-Colton-Wood
Cogs-Olofson-LOC

With the dream that Landy comes back and can fill in at an adequate 4th line role to start.

 

[GeoRox89]

Would just rest him until after the all star break but I’m more than ready for some Lehky Charms

Probably just see him put on a line with RyJo and Cogs

27/29/96
28/20/25
11/12/62
56/22/94

 

[Metallo]

Can we get Dermy out of the lineup? Wagner, Meyers, Tufte, anyone except that big log.

 

[dahrougem2]

I doubt Bednar breaks up 28-20-25.

I think we'll see Lehkonen playing with Johansen unfortunately, unless Drouin gets bumped out.

The guy was at least throwing some hits on the forecheck earlier this season but he stopped doing that now too.

 

[Balthazar]

Lehky missed 35 games. That's enormous.

 

[Metallo]

The guy was at least throwing some hits on the forecheck earlier this season but he stopped doing that now too.

He played 19 of the last 23 games, there is just no reason for that. We have real players in the AHL and we are not banking any cap anyway. Throw of few of those guys a bone. Calling up players costs real $ though, maybe that's the real reason. Penny wise, pound foolish.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

I wouldn't touch the two lines which are working. Start Lehky slowly with Johansen.

Slowly is an accurate word

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

I wouldn't touch the two lines which are working. Start Lehky slowly with Johansen.

Plus Drouin doesn't deserve to be demoted. He's playing very well.

 

[dahrougem2]

I feel horrible for doing it to him but he should start with Johansen lmao.

Unless you want to run Cogliano - Olofsson - Lehkonen instead and play Johansen with MacDermid for 5 minutes.

 

[BrickNHL]

Unless you want to run Cogliano - Olofsson - Lehkonen instead and play Johansen with MacDermid for 5 minutes.

I truly believe Olofsson should be playing over Johansen right now

 

[expatriatedtexan]

Have y'all ever just imagined Jared Bednar sitting in his office late at night drawing up lines? I picture him writing down Drouin-MacKinnon-Rantanen then he gets to his second line and he's like Lehkonen-...DAMNIT!

Then he just stares at the picture of MacFarland and the amateur scouts on the wall in abject hatred for half a dozen heartbeats, takes a deep breath and then flips his desk over and calls it a night.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Probably just see him put on a line with RyJo and Cogs

27/29/96
28/20/25
11/12/62
56/22/94

Just like I thought. Can't justify breaking up The Roaring 20's line. Get a 2C, get Nuke back, and Lehky's line will be fine.

This is great and everything, but what I really want to know is......why isn't this Meghan Angley the on TV personality for the Avs?!

 

[AvBuff]

She's gotta work her way up the "hot girl sportscaster" ladder:

1. Share a couch with AJ Haefele and Rudo;

2. Share a studio with Yan Stastny;

3. Share a mike with Moser;

4. Work the midnight to 4 am shift on NHL/MLB tonight.

5. Marry the pro athlete of choice.

Seriously, I like Meghan, but she needs to work on vocal presentation - her voice just disappears on the air. She has everything else - including hockey knowledge.

I think part of it is just lack of camera familiarity. And, granted this is from very limited viewing, but AJ and Rudo talk over her all the time. It’s insane.

I think it is smart to bring him back now. He has been away so long 2 games and a break while getting back into game conditioning is probably best.

 

[dahrougem2]

Even when she does Eagles reports on her own, she doesn't have camera presence yet. Hopefully she gets there but if not, I'm sure she'll make a fantastic journalist without doing TV stuff.

This is the biggest problem. They don't know when to shut up and let someone else talk.
