What's great is Girard isn't just beating people with speed. Its edgework and deceptive play. He'll cut at the last second, turn his body so forecheckers think he's going the wrong way.

Bizarre indeed. I mean it doesn't get more textbook boarding than that.

Minnesota have yet to play the Avs, Blues, or Vegas this season.
Admittedly we've only played the Blues twice and lost to LA and Anaheim, but Minnesota's record could look very different in a couple of weeks. 6 of their next 8 games are against the Avs and Blues.

I think he's been better all around tbh, but everyone has their own opinion.
Not a knock on Makar either btw. Just Sam is criminally underrated.

If it means anything, capfriendly has LOC on the roster and not the taxi squad so he probably replaces Bellemare (and Jost moves to center). Also, I could see Pateryn getting the first tour if Toews is not ready (Bednar banking on his motivation against his former team).

Such a great player. Such a great skater. Occasionally, he’s in a vulnerable position where he’s at a disadvantage due to his size/strength. But he’s so smart and such a great skater that it’s very rare. Great team friendly contract too.

Is this sequence from a preseason game? Because Felhaber never played a regular season or playoff game...
Must be one of those fake videos like the ones NASA used to put out of the moon.

Last game there was a moment where he was getting sandwiched by Meier and Kane and still managed to skate out of trouble. His agility + smarts + puck skill will prevent him from getting too exposed. Will be the best contract in the league soon if it isn't already. Girard is probably team MVP up to this point for me (in the games I've seen).

In the season opener he sent a Blues player to the ice in a similar manner at 1:05 of the clip below as well

It's a good thing we have tough-guy-Compher on this team for times like this

I aint worried. I hope Cole does all the things he did while he was here. Take dumb penalties, misread plays, pinch when hes not supposed to etc.

Cole is gonna hit Grubauer in the face with his ass again and force us to run with Miska as our starter for the rest of the year.
Do not underestimate Cole's ability to injure Avalanche players. He is exceptionally good at it
