Pre-Game Talk: WEEK 23: Post Trade Deadline. New Players, New Team, And A 3 Game Canadian Roadie. @Flamers, @Van, and @McJesus

[missionAvs]

Wow. He's now the Avs 73 of all time.

 

[Ararana]

I'm convinced you "two" are the same person arguing the extreme opposite opinions with yourself.

This is my new head cannon going forward

 

[cccoltsicehockey]

Nuke practicing on the top line, I wonder if Bednar is going back to that.

Nuke-Mack-Mikko
Lehky-Mitts-Drouin
Wood-Colton-Trenin
Duhaime-Cogs-Kivi
Olofsson

Injured - Parise
Wildcards - Landeskog, Kovalenko

You’d like to see the news guys get some continuity and practice with their game day lines but doesn’t look like that’s happening with the injuries and illness.

Yikes! I think that second line would be awful.

 

[NorthernAvsFan]

Yikes! I think that second line would be awful.

It still dunks on the second line we had pre-deadline.

There’s really no reason for Nuke, MacK, and Mikko to play on the same line though, unless maybe against Edmonton to have them go up against McDavid.

WTF is Mikko going to do against McJesus? Glide around the defensive zone while he scores? Dude has demonstrated exactly zero GAF this season.

The best way to limit top players is to make them play in their own zone.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

We've got Avalanche hockey tonight.

Let's f***ing go!

 

[a mangy Meowth]

Yeah Mikko's FG/60 is at an all time low

 

[Mooserton]

Finally hockey today! Then a B2B after a handful of days with no games. B2Bs should be illegal don’t @ me.

 

[GeoRox89]

What the HELL did I just read mate? I'm sorry, but I don't see a solitary loss in there?

Wednesday is going to be a clash for the ages - Sea Eagles positivity vs the cause I bring upon this team every time I watch them in Van

I expect nothing but rooting for you to win out on this one. Want to see my first win there since 2014

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Interested to see who starts tonight. I would think if AnnuNONE is healthy, he'll get the start tonight, and Fourgiev starts tomorrow night.

As for winning in Van, I can't see it on 2nd half of B2B with travel, and Van not having played since last Thursday. In fact, I feel like the games vs Van and Oil are both going to be epic beatdowns.

 

[AllAboutAvs]

VAN will not have Demko so hopefully that will help considering we play them on a B2B.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

 

[RoyIsALegend]

The Landeskog tease. Ugh.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Not a good sign for Lehky's status for tonight, if Nuke is on PP1

Just D2D with a fractured, broken, separated neck. All good.

I am no coach but I still feel like the best use of talent is going to be this. Unfortunately, I also feel like it is the last thing Bednar might actually try.

Drouin - MacK - Nuke
Lehky - Mitts - Mikko

[cccoltsicehockey]

We need to win all games but I really want to win the game against Vancouver. We almost need to let Calgary win this one in our desire to see someone knock Vegas out of the playoffs even if that hope is dwindling by the day.

 

[Pokecheque]

Yikes! I think that second line would be awful.

I don't think that's necessarily ideal but I don't think it'd be awful either, especially if Mitts is as good defensively as they say. The only issue I see there is that you have two guys in Mitts and Jo who really like to pass the puck, someone's gotta shoot it.

 

[The Moops]

I cant help myself, but Duhaime kinda doesnt look that happy since being traded...... Or is this his normal facial expression?

He probably has RBF like me

Miss him bros

 

[SaltySkywalker]

I don’t know why I’m complaining because I do absolutely nothing to contribute, but I wish we still got non-emergency GDTs.

@TanguaySauce where ya at my boiii

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Wait, what happened to Lehky? Vegas fakes injuries, the Avs can't avoid them. Ridiculous.
