Why would the Avs have a morning skate on a back to back? That doesn’t sound normal.
To get the Hamburglar warmed up...

Starting goalers tend to be the first off of the ice, not last, let alone a starting goaler practicing in an optional skate if that is to be true. Everyone is different though, maybe Hammond is the starting goaler and wants more preparation time.
Yeah I took that tweet as Bernier was starting lol.Starting goalers tend to be the first off of the ice, not last, let alone a starting goaler practicing in an optional skate if that is to be true. Everyone is different though, maybe Hammond is the starting goaler and wants more preparation time.
You guys think it's possible that Bernier would be entiring his prime at age 29? That he finally lives up to his #11 overall pick potential? Goalies are a weird breed when it comes to entering or leaving their prime. Some do it very early, others very late.
If so, he could be our starter for the next ~5 years.
Vs San Jose, I'd agree but that was all powerplays. I thought we were the better team vs New York and vs TorontoI dunno...I feel like the streak ends tonight. The cracks in the firmament are beginning to show. The Avs are having a tough time putting it together for more than one period the last 2-3 games. And Montreal, as horrible as they are, have some pretty speedy guys, especially lower in their lineup. I bet Deslauriers scores at least one goal tonight. He's about the only guy they have scoring at a consistent pace (outside of Patches that is).
I don't blame them if they want to go with Bernier again tonight. Go with the hot hand from Laval.
I still think ya gotta be careful with Bernier. I can't complain about his play of late, especially now that he seems much better at stopping breakaways, which he absolutely could not do earlier this season.
However there are still huge gaps in his game. He's still giving up HUGE rebounds, which is not the end-all-be-all of good or bad goaltending but it plays a part. In fact that "2nd" Matthews goal was the direct result of a bad rebound given up on a bad-angled shot by Nylander. I get the exuberance and he is playing marvelous right now, however I still don't think he's a viable starter. I view him in the same light as Brian Elliott--a guy who can fill in for long stretches, maybe even be part of a tandem, but isn't a franchise goalie in his own right.
That said, I'm backing off my earlier claim that there are better options this offseason.
So sign of TV yet so if necessary I can put up an emergency GDT in an hour or so
Face off practice?Why would the Avs have a morning skate on a back to back? That doesn’t sound normal.
I’m assuming she’s waiting for the goalie announcement? Maybe if it’s not up by like 4 go for it?
