Avs have 4 guys with 15 points, 5 in double digits… then 12 with 5. Canucks have 5 with 15+, 7 in double digits, then 15 with 5. There is a difference in games played… but the balance isn’t any different really… if anything they are more balanced.

I don't think the Canucks are going to win the cup or anything but they have a talented team. Eventually things will slow down but they have elite talent and while the depth isn't amazing it's not like we haven't seen shitty depth survive a regular season. It'll be the playoffs where reality sets in.

I wasn’t really comparing this Canucks team to this year’s Avs team. This Avs team only recently starting to get little bit of depth production. If we’re comparing this two teams based on this year so far, I’d say the Nucks have actually been better because they have a productive 2nd line
Yup… get in a series and that when the tests ramp up. Vancouver had some good center depth and better than people think defensive depth… but as of now it won’t survive against Vegas. Probably even LA (of LA’s goaltending holds up).
I’m just saying their depth is equal in production, if not better than the Avs. They have some pretty good players and a significantly better 2nd line. They have a worse defense, but Hughes/Hronek as a pairing are severely underrated here. Their issues are correct able with a few moves and the underlying is improving over the past 3/4 weeks.
In other words, if Vancouver is thin, so are we. If depth is the most important thing (debatable), neither is really built to contend.

Why can't the Avs play like Florida. Quick passes and then shot and try to get rebounds and deflections instead keeping it cute and waiting for a perfect pass or a shot. We would probably win a few more games if we did not try to be so cute out there.

I don't know the reason why Detroit let Hronek go. Maybe they did not want to over pay him but damn reading and looking back he was at times even better in some games then Moritz Seider.
I wouldn’t say he was better than Mo, but he’s a legit top pairing guy and very good.

All my hopes for the Avs this year is Landy returning for the playoffs, Kovalenko coming over and having impact. I can’t rely on them fixing the 2C issue if RyJo experiment doesn’t work out because I don’t see a realistic trade out there. They’re already paying RyJo for that job. I really don’t care what happens in the regular season, whether the Avs win the division or not. I know they gonna make the playoffs

So basically, the NHL's reason for not scheduling any games for yesterday was "we scheduled a bunch for other days". I guess that's fine.

Whoa, Wayne Gretzky was on This Past Weekend with Theo Von.
That's an odd combination of people I find moderately interesting.

This is not the way.
I think a lot of it is stylistic trickle down from their top players. MacK and Rants like to toe drag and make other players look silly one on one. Barkov and Tkachuk do a lot of their damage with quick plays to guys getting open.

If JoJo gets the Avs game it’s guaranteed he will get the SO and score a hat trick

What amazing contractors are you working with that guys look like that in their 40s? Most of them I see are closer to this with the quote actually fitting pretty well:I just looked up Evan Bouchard

Twenty four years old.
What I always find so amazing is looking back at old pictures. 'Teenagers' in the 70s look like they are pushing 30 and 30 year olds look about 3 days away from a midlife crisis.

Holy kek, no-one at the Habs office though twice about the optics of putting a maple leaf on their jersey?

Oh this is delightfully awful. At least the colours work (looking at you Pens and Mild) but that’s about itHoly kek, no-one at the Habs office though twice about the optics of putting a maple leaf on their jersey?

At least the Penguins' colors are near complementary. The Wild are just doing all the different colors.
"Hey Minnesota, how many bad colors do you want on your uniforms?"
"Yes."
