Pre-Game Talk: Week of Return of the MacD (@PHI, @NYR, vsDET, vsFLA)

[Garavar]

7-6 will be the final score since Bobs is starting over Spencer Knight. Who wins is the question mark.

Guessing we see JJ waived today to make room for the Frank man.

Speaking of Frankie, I don’t think anybody should count on a guy who hasn’t played an NHL game in like 2 years to be our savior by any means but man I’m excited to see him hopefully get back. Has he ever not been extraordinary in this organization? The injuries have been tough no doubt, but ever since he’s been signed he’s just been fantastic for the Eagles and Avs. Now to see him get back and play as well as he did in this conditioning stint is very reassuring.

Fully expecting him to pinch a nerve taking the ice for the first time and be out month-to-month with "Mike Ribeiro syndrome"

If Landy is hurt I bet we see the double Czech call up. Frankie and Kaut join the Avs.

Maltsev maybe

And there are people out there that legitimately want Korpisalo lol. That guy has always been awful. Always.

Scary to think that Grubauer was our Plan A, Kuemper turned into Plan B and a guy that the Avs have always been linked to in Matt Murray is also on that list.

Really makes you wonder about this organization's abilities to analyze the goaltending position.

I think it was Friedman(?) that reported Anderson was their Plan B, but the Grubi situation got dragged out longer than expected and Freddy got cold feet waiting on them. Makes sense given how much of an overpay panic move the Kuemper trade ended up being. Kind of a shame in hindsight at this point

Maltsev maybe

Good call

LETS GO

Missing Kadri and Landy from the top 6 before facing the Panthers.

Great.

This should honestly be illegal with how much they promote gambling on sports now. Game time decisions for injury/illness/etc I get but just not disclosing the lineup sucks.

They are waiting to see who gets injured en route to the arena.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

P.s. I think Nuke is the obvious choice to put in Landy’s spot on line 1 but I bet it’ll be Compher or Burkie.

They disclosed the lineup, just not the lines.

 

[Raucherhusten]

So what? No Landy, no Kadri. And the Panthers coming to town.

Meh, no biggy. We just need Kuemper to steal the game for us, right?

 

[Pokecheque]

Missing Kadri and Landy from the top 6 before facing the Panthers.

Great.

They will never win a faceoff again

This is my guess:

LOC - MacK - Rantanen
Nuke - Kadri - Bura

 

[Raucherhusten]

This is my guess:

LOC - MacK - Rantanen
Nuke - Kadri - Bura

Kadri is a NO for tonight.

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

Kadri is a NO for tonight.

 

[Cypher]

No Landeskog and No Kadri.... Avs will be lucky to win 2 face-offs

 

[AvsFan29]

Good move

 

[Balthazar]

They will never win a faceoff again

JTC is back so he'll take care of business.
