All of the damn models crucify him because we don't have a player outside of the top unit capable of scoring a goal. He get's punished continuously in stats and by posters here but he has no support. He's playing with the 3rd and 4th line guys. He doesn't get to feed a pass to Nate, Nuke or Mikko. He's basically excluded from participating with offensive players.G was heroic on the PK out working Miller in the corner and sending the puck down the ice after being dog tired.
Does Byram also get this pass? He plays with a worse partner in JJ, while playing his offside and has way less NHL experience.All of the damn models crucify him because we don't have a player outside of the top unit capable of scoring a goal.

Have you heard me blasting Byram?Does Byram also get this pass? He plays with a worse partner in JJ, while playing his offside and has way less NHL experience.
Imo both G and Byram are suffering from not having a second line that can drive offense.
Sell high. Ryjo just put up two on the best goalie and team in the league. CMac nows the time.
Pretty much agree with all of this including Bo needing to clean up his mistakes but I think that’ll come with experience. Where I disagreed was the part that Girard gets punished by the posters here because I believe that crown belongs to Bo but that’s honestly irrelevant. Let’s hope we get a second line worth a damn so both can flourish!Have you heard me blasting Byram?
Don't confuse me with "the voice" or your impression of the board. I'm my own dude. Yes Byram does get a pass for lack of production based on playing with Wagner, Olofsson, Cogliano, Kiviranta, and JMFJ instead of MacKinnon, Rantanen, your choice of Nuke/Lehky, or Makar/Toews.
He's obviously being held back offensively. That is why some have suggested he might not be happy here. However, if the Avs could actually get a second line worth a even just half a shit, there would be enough offense there for a #3 to feel important. The fact is MacFarland's inability to make a second line may very well cost him his defense. They alpha dogs that can run and play don't want to play Kivi for the rest of their careers. I like Kivi, he's a good player, but I don't blame Byram/Girard one bit for being pissed that nobody they play with can finish a god-damned play.
What Bo does not get a pass for is his own bone-headed defensive reads that leave the team f***ed. He's got to clean that up as it is an ongoing issue. Girard has done a better job of this in my opinion.
I will probably always go back and forth on who I think our #3 is between Bo and Sam until one of them is moved. Seems like if you want a goal, you go with Bo but if you want safer play you go with G. But as Bo ages, matures and grows he'll become safer as well... or find himself on the short end of the bench. This is a big year for Bo; I feel like Sammy is who he is while Bo still has a short runway for improvement.Pretty much agree with all of this including Bo needing to clean up his mistakes but I think that’ll come with experience.

Exactly what it is and why Bednar is running them into the ground to get home ice for the playoffsDidn't realize the Avs were so bad on the road.
Home, 1st in win%, 1st in scoring, 8th in goals against, 4th on the PP, 4th on the PK
Away, t-19th in win%, 15th in scoring, 26th in goals against, 17th on PP, 14th on PK
It's almost as if they matchup vs Mack line on the road with last change, and Avs depth can't do squat.
RyJo isn't gonna be traded...Sell high. Ryjo just put up two on the best goalie and team in the league. CMac nows the time.
Didn't they set the record for consecutive road wins earlier this year?Didn't realize the Avs were so bad on the road.

It's going to be TT, and then we'll trade for Crouse.BUF's AGM has to be scouting Byram on the right side. That is three games in a row now I think. If it is the case I really hope it is for Mitts and not Cozen. I'm really not a fan of Cozen's hockey IQ.
"Is Josh Manson the modern day James Lindros?"I was thinking just a guy named Lindros, no relation to Eric or Brett
