What about anything he's said or done would suggest he's a meathead? I may have missed something or two but just assuming he's stupid because he's a defensive defenseman with size and grit is shortsighted.

You should watch those Avs videos of them guessing which player posted certain tweets.
He got some wrong where he was the player that posted the tweet.
Not saying he’s stupid, but…

I saw it. I also quite a few of them who had done that. I don't think remembering what you tweeted or didn't tweet as a young buck means all that much.
Now, if we're going off of on-ice decisions, reads, etc., then that I can get behind! Always sounded well spoken to me.

….does this count as blackface now? Or is it simply a more acceptable greenface?

Well that part unfortunately we've seen happen a few times before. A few guys have returned to the game after big hits, then missed the next games with a concussion.
Not sure if they've changed their approach on that. Certainly hope so.
Doesn't seem like he'd travel with the team with a concussion though I agree.

Think RIAL mentioned it. There's videos where they read a tweet and have to guess who tweeted it. One of them contained the word 'Ferda', and he was struggling to figure out who would be dumb enough to use that term...turns out it was his own tweet.
I absolutely love Manson. But he's not the brightest bulb in the chandelier.

Pretty weak example to go off of in my opinion. I know plenty of people that say 'ferda' for better or worse.

I like how Bedsy said they'd know more about Manson's injury on Sunday, then on Sunday he basically said he hadn't talked to the trainers again saying, "I don't have a secure timeline, cause he's still getting evaluated."

Part of me wonders if they are evaluating how bad it truly is and if it's beneficial to consider LTIR and activating Landy for the stretch and bringing Manson back for the playoffs. If we aren't going to be catching Dallas in the standings, all we need to do is maintain a WC slot. We could probably do okayish without Manson for the stretch but i'm going to loathe it if he's out for any of the playoffs or rusty for the more than the first game back.I like how Bedsy said they'd know more about Manson's injury on Sunday, then on Sunday he basically said he hadn't talked to the trainers again saying, "I don't have a secure timeline, cause he's still getting evaluated."

Yeah, Cale didn't remember one of his tweets as a youngster either.

Yeah I had a bad feeling, when Bednar said after the game, they'd know more in a couple days.
Just speculating, but that kind of comment sounds like they're evaluating whether to get surgery or not. I'm worried it's a shoulder injury from that big hit he had behind the net right before he left.
Avs are immedielty put in a scenario I was worried about if they didn't bring in a top 4 RD. Fortunately EJ has played pretty well so far, but he's about to turn 37 in a few days, and he's injury prone himself, so they shouldn't have relied on him or Manson this much.

There were a bunch of us saying we needed another 2RD to be able to spot or push Manson down. Without Manson Ithink the Avs are done in the POs.

Everyone said CMac went all in at the trade deadline, but i don’t think he did. Going truly all in would mean getting another RD. EJ coming back is good for the locker room and stuff, but we really needed an upgrade there, especially knowing that Manson has been injured all year. So technically CMac didn’t really go all in. We still have a hole on defense
Well besides Jones and Carlo what other RDs were even possible or available that would have been true upgrades? Boston obviously liked what Tor was offering better than the Col offer.
Colorado Avalanche
No Babe pictures
Exactly and from my understanding he tried both these options but Jones didn't want Denver and Carlo was too expensive for the assets paid. Cmac got everything he could.

Could have maybe tried to get someone like Gudas. I’m sure there would be some options out there but CMac really prioritized getting the centers we needed. I mean if Manson wasn’t so injured this year, I wouldn’t worry about it too much, but we are getting thin on D without Josh, and one more injury, we gonna have Middleton and EJ playing meaningful minutes which won’t be good

Manson doesn’t offer a lot of plus value in the regular season. Let him heal up and use the cap space to get Landy into a couple games before the end of the year.
