Pre-Game Talk: 2023/24 Training Camp

[Pierce Hawthorne]

This last offseason seemed longer than usual. Felt like the Avs havent played in years.

To be fair, it has been really long. First time losing in the first round of the playoffs since Nashville back in 2018.

 

[S E P H]

How has Tufte and Freddy Olafsson looked?

Both were pretty dang good along with Kiviranta who could've been the best I thought.

Yah man. Just glad its back now.

Uh oh. Watch out, Ben Meyers. Bedsy said all things equal he prefers size. Tufte just has to match Meyers in skill to beat him.

 

[Avs_19]

Yeah, my immediate thought after reading that quote was that Meyers shouldn’t get too comfortable at 4C.

I liked what I saw, now play him against nhlers and see how it goes

 

[MarkT]

The problem is this list is too young, if you wants the Avs options it needs to be 25+

Yeah, ideally I'd try to find a list without age restrictions. Maybe I'll try to make one myself if I have time, But can I ask, why does it need to be 25+ in your opinion? To be inclusive of all ages or because you don't want a young guy on the 3rd pair/7th D?

 

[AllAboutAvs]

I have to admit I haven't paid too much attention to him before and I couldn't watch the game today. How is his skating?

 

[Richard88]

Nice to see Bednar acknowledging the hole at 4C. There's lots of competition for that spot but it's yet to be seen if anyone can actually make that role their own.

 

[AvsGuy]

I'll be happy if someone can snag the 4C spot, Meyers has shown barely anything there in 1+ seasons

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

 

[Balthazar]

I'm guessing we'll see a first line of Drouin, Nuke and RyJo tonight.

It feels like the coach and players are not going to be very happy if management stands idle once again. They're making a lot of not-so subtle demands, which is awesome!

As they should be. We are deep into the MacKinnon/Rantanen era. We should be trying to win every year now.

 

[Ararana]

Bo and bunch of nobodies

 

[henchman21]

Vegas bringing some beef tonight.

 

[Ararana]

Vegas bringing some beef tonight.

Kolesar concusses Byram, the sequel.

 

[Avsavsavsavsavs]

Man someone is actually going to get hurt tonight arent they, jesus.

 

[thedoctor]

Why the F would we put Bo out there for this kind of game

 

[Balthazar]

At least MacDermid is there if they're looking for someone to start some shit.

Who the f*** will be on the first line with RyJo and Drouin? LOC?

It'll be OO.

 

[NateTheGreat]

Somebody tell Byram this is only a preseason game for the sake of his own health.

 

[UncleRisto]

Cut to Bo doing a wrestling spear into the boards in the first period.

 

[the_fan]

I just wanna see MacDermid beat up Kolesar
