Everything has to be so much drama with this organization. Hyping injury updates now? Lame AF.

It's to distract from Mackinnons attemps to rarely shoot and always pass first from a player who scored over 50 goals last year.
 
Injury reports are now like TV shows with this team. It literally has a schedule. Maybe they should start shooting a documentary about all the injuries the Avs have had and continue having.

Every single injury has its own documentary with a dramatic twist to it. They can call it Keeping Up With The Ambulanche

And right now we have the basic cable subscription. You need to pay extra for updates on each player.

This is very simple.

None of our media went on the road trip. None. Only AltitudeTV(Moser, Rycroft, etc.) and that's owned by the team.

Rycroft was the only guy there to ask Bednar anything after morning skate today(which we don't get a report/pictures from because, again, no media went on the trip).

So, since AltitudeTV were the only ones there to talk to Bednar, the Avs essentially control when the information comes out. They are keeping that for the pre-game show.

Truly, we have jumped the shark on this one haven't we? In the past, we allowed the illusion of transparency by letting a gaggle of amateur reports be credentialed and follow the team - despite never giving them actual information to legitimize themselves. Now we've just said f*** it, state media or nothing.

On some level, if I'm being honest, it doesn't even bother me that much. I don't really need to know every little detail about everything. However, it's very much not how any other organization in the league, or frankly any sport that I can think of, operates. It's kind of bizarre lol

I agree with this. As a fan it sucks, especially when it’s players such as Girard or nuke, who have had to leave for other reasons in the past. It leads to speculation and worry in a fanbase, but again, it’s within their rights to hold info as frustrating as it is.

Doesnt working with Peterson give more credence to an injury rather than other possibilities?

Yes, but the fact that he wasn't ever listed on the injury report, was never mentioned by the team's media or the head coach before or after the last few games, when they did discuss other injuries, and his previous stint on the PAP lead to rampant speculation. They could have just said he was dealing with an injury, and that would have been enough, but instead, they said nothing.

Not really, just means somebody is rusty and needs individual skills focus.

Peterson is a skills coach, not a trainer. He's there to get people into game shape and fitness, focusing on specific skills.

We don’t need any of them for this last 4 games of the season. We do need them in the 1st round of the playoffs

Yup. Occam's Hockey Razor - the simplest explanation is the right one. While the Avs aren't exactly mailing it in recently . . . they're not exactly delivering like FedEx either. There's not much - if any - marginal return in playing to win down the stretch. Worst comes to worst . . . we play Vegas or Winnipeg in Round 1 instead of Dallas. The West is gonna be a dogfight whether they win or lose over the next few days.

Just don't get injured. And heal the guys that are already hurt.

I'd rather play either the Golden Showers and Whiny Jets than the Stars. You know Mikko will get 9 goals in a 5 game series.
