We need Dahlin just to have the dangliest defense that ever dangled. Girard spinning people all over the place, Dahlin and Makar breaking ankles, EJ and Zads with their big boy dekes, and Barrie fumbling the puck into a goal (for or against).

I laughed really hard at this hahahaha

Don’t forget Timmins’ wide sweeping “looks like he might fall over at any second but still always works” dekes!

No d-corp will ever have dangled as dangely as the dangles on those danglers.

The deer-on-ice trick.

 

[cgf]

The deer-on-ice trick.

I’m convinced that that is why they always work. The opposing players are just waiting for him to fall over and leave them the puck for a breakaway, so they let him just do whatever he wants...not realizing that that was his plan until it is too late...

 

[Foppa2118]

A closer look at it. Starts at 1:07. Also 1:40 some Makar magic.

Like a man amongst boys out there.

Happy for Timmins!

First Look: Ryan Graves - Burgundy Rainbow

 

[S E P H]

Awesome goal, even though it was on the powerplay. However, I thought his dominant shift where he pulled a Nyqvist was more impressive personally. These good signs that he's shining like that against men.

Good stuff.
One little thing, you guys should put your name and the date it was posted at the beginning of each article.

Yeah, I agree on the other shift. That was awesome.

Yarmouth, NS?

Are the Avalanche getting territorial rights now?

Essentially worked for Montreal over a few decades, although NS is not as talent rich of a province.

 

[Skip2myBordyloo]

I know he's not our prospect, but Bleackley playing for San Antonio.

Marchand, MacKinnon, Crosby, McInnis. Not too shabby for such a small province to have so many stars come from there.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Man I thought the name Ryan Graves sounded familiar...

Pretty sure I played against him in a tournament in Halifax many moons ago

 

[Pokecheque]

I know he's not our prospect, but Bleackley playing for San Antonio.

I saw that when Haefele tweeted it. Can’t imagine what he’s thinking right now.

Just when I think im out they bring me back in.

Bowers....

 

[Goulet17]

I noticed that on Thursday Makar registered 7 SOGs and last night 5 SOGs in a loss. He has directed more shots on goal that missed or were blocked.

 

[Avs_19]

I'm guessing he went undrafted for a reason and he turns 20 in a couple of days but he keeps putting up points. At the very least he could be a good player for the Eagles.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Yeah my expectations for Lewis are still quite low because like you said, he went undrafted for a reason.

But it's great to see him producing even down the stretch as teams start tightening there games up.


Another one of those subtle but quietly solid moves Sakic made this last season. Between Lewis, Kerfoot, and Toninato Sakic did a great job getting quality prospects without spending any assets. That's how you start to build organizational depth.

 

[tigervixxxen]

Who cares if he wasn't drafted? There's all kinds of late bloomers. Batherson and Steenbergen were passed over once. Phil Myers was signed as an undrafted player.

I mean keep expectations low because he's an Avs prospect but not because he went undrafted. I'd put him in the same consideration as any non 1st maybe 2nd round forward in our system.

Just to give a bit of context on those numbers. Lewis was knocked out with a dirty hit from Jett Woo (which earned him a 3 game suspension), missed two games and since he's been back has scored 7 goals in 3 games, out of the last 9 goals his team has scored. If you take out the game he was knocked out in the second period he has a 7 game goal streak with 11 goals in that span. The hat trick was against the top team in the WHL too. He's obviously progressed past the WHL at this point.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

For every Yanni Gourde that makes it as a late bloomer, there's 10 guys who never amount to anything.


Him going undrafted is absolutely a legit reason to keep expectations in check.


The "Avs prospect" narrative is tiring and stupid at this point.

 

[Byzantium]

Is there any way to watch the UMass game that starts now?

Edit: nvm it starts in 24 hrs.

Pretty much, I can name like a thousand 160 point overagers in the WHL that now play in leagues like Iceland, Hungary, and Asia.
