Pre-Game Talk: Week of All Stars (Nsh, Min, ASG@SJ)

[Freudian]

Avs are still in a playoff spot while being 18th in P%. Western Conference isn't what it used to be.

 

[Ararana]

I DVR’d it. Was it worth watching for the Avs trio at all or can I skip it?

The goalie challenge was by far the most thrilling part. Otherwise, it was pretty bland.

 

[the_fan]

Our boys didn't really show up well in the skills competition.

Actually I thought Landeskog did well on that puck control being a 3rd line grinder and all

 

[Balthazar]

Since no one is talking about Rants I assume he was pretty meh?

Last place in the passing comp. Missed a ton of the mini nets, just over and over again. I mean, it's whatever, just a skills comp, but no bragging rights either.

 

[The Kingslayer]

I dont know. I kinda miss Mikhail Grigorenko.

I liked Greg, think if you put him with two physical guys that like to shoot he’d put up a lot of points. It’s unfortunate that he just didn’t have even the slightest aggresive edge to his game, because without that or the above scenario I don’t think he would be successful in the NHL. Happy to see his success in the K though!

Why? Of course he was going to be successful in the K. The K is a shitshow.

Well I thought MacKinnon did well on his interview with JR

 

[Pokecheque]

I won't lie, it irritated the hell outta me to see all three members of the top line signing autographs on the red carpet with Ryan O'Reilly sandwiched in between them.

 

[Foppberg]

I won't lie, it irritated the hell outta me to see all three members of the top line signing autographs on the red carpet with Ryan O'Reilly sandwiched in between them.

Why? They're probably still all buddies.

Why? I’d kill to have ROR on our second line.

 

[Ceremony]

Does the "why?" to people not liking Ryan O'Reilly really still have to be asked

 

[Foppberg]

Yes, he's a hell of a player that I'd take any day of the week here.

 

[jvcjdudu jcycyxjene]

No no and no. Keep him away from our team. O'Reilly is like a leper.

 

[Ceremony]

Yes, he's a hell of a player that I'd take any day of the week here.

He's also a dick and a serial failure. Pass.

 

[Foppberg]

He's also a dick and a serial failure. Pass.

Lol, right.

 

[Ceremony]

He'd probably fail to report, knowing he'd be on the second line and not wearing a letter. You know, like last time.

 

[dahrougem2]

I bet MacKinnon and Landeskog are still good buddies with O'Reilly. So it's not surprising they'd want to hang out during these festivities. I'm just surprised Mikko didn't ditch them to go hang out with Heiskanen and Aho lol.

 

[AvsFanInMichigan]

Rants would have done good in the accuracy shooting contest. I wish he would have been in that not the stupid passing one.

 

[Avs_19]

Poor Mikko. That must've felt like an eternity. MacKinnon or Landeskog couldn't jump on the ice and deflect it in for their linemate?

 

[Pokecheque]

Why? I’d kill to have ROR on our second line.

Hell of a player, that is undeniable, but I don't like the guy at all.

 

[Avalanche]

 

[AvsFan29]

He probably remembered he has 74 points, and is a top 5 playmaker in the world lol
