Pre-Game Talk: 2023/24 Training Camp

Is he skating with Drouin yet?

Drouin is in the stands waiting for Mack’s autograph

I said big guns

 

[RockLobster]

Football starts tonight. Avs big guns are taking captains skates. Get the f*** out of here summer!

So hyped, it'd be such a huge boost if we get Tampa Drouin.

 

[LOFIN]

I would hope Drouin gets a fairly long leash. If we want to have success, these "reclamation projects" in Drouin and RyJo have to work to an extent. It would be very hard to make another move to support the top-6. So I hope Bednar understands that before he does something stupid like puts Nate and Mikko together for an extended time.

 

[Foppa2118]

IMPOSSIBLE!!! He's ALWAYS hurt and should be LTIR'd

This place is so nuts with the narratives and confirmation bias.

Manson adjusts something in his shorts and it spawns 100 posts on how he can't stay healthy, he sucks, should never have been re-signed, prevented them from keeping Kadri, and was the reason for their disappointing season last year.

 

[Avs_19]

Drouin is putting up at least 60 points if healthy. No doubt about it.

That's what I saw happened.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Hey, maybe Manson just ends up on LTIR for the year. That would be best case scenario as then we don't have to watch him play like shit all year and we get his $4.5M to spend elsewhere.

True.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Watch Mason play 82 games after all this speculation lol

I would love to see this and playoffs too. He is a good player when available.

Here you go @Balthazar

Will Mack chew out drouin like he did big z is a question I wanna know

I know Bednar had a hard on for chewing out Zads, but I don't remember MacK doing that.

 

[Avs9296]

Hope Nuke shows up soon. He needs to get his head right (pun slightly intended) early this year.

Might not be a bad Fantasy pick up

o If you miss a pass in practice he would skate over and literally scream at you. You can't pass him the puck without hitting his stick. We had young players come over during the playoffs. If the puck ends up in his skates, not even his skates, if it misses his stick by
a tiny bit, like 15cms in front of the blade of his stick. He doesn't move his stick to catch the puck. He stops everything, turns around and slaps the puck back at you. He is not going to try to receive any puck he doesn't like during practice. Just to show you, that you
made a ####ty pass.

That's right. I forgot about that interview. At least he was yelling at everyone.

Has the season started yet?

Gee...... the wonders of social media, eh??

We're just a tiny example of how the rest of social media operates...

That's humbling..... Everyone of those guys at some point in their hockey life was the best guy on their team. And then, they find out that they are nothing special.....

On the other hand, if you can't do it correctly in practice, you sure as hell aren't going to do right in a game.

Now get out of here you worthless piece of sh!t! lol!

Hence why I was wondering about drouin… all I heard he said was nice… after seeing passes not right in his wheel house

.. I was being ironical

He's having trouble getting through security at the airport with all his assault guns
