GDT: Avalanche vs Maple Leafs 03/08/25 @5:00PM MNT (Emergency GDT) Post deadline clarity

[CobraAcesS]

Dominated. Score doesn't reflect it either and we still put up 7. This win feels really good.

If Blackwood wasn't off it would of been probably a 5-3 game.

It happens, it was a beautiful 60 minutes though. This team will be fun to watch down the stretch and in the playoffs.

This f***ing guy hated the Nelson price and on the DNVR live podcast was saying there must be more to the Coyle deal because Mitts Zellers and a 2nd was way too much as well.

Look at those frauds on the bottom

 

[flyfysher]

Yeah I'm being totally serious too

You’re just trying to foster your resentment of Finns because Rants left to join his Finnish buddies. I’m cool with Kivi.

 

[Arto Kilponen]

We like kirviranta Sometimes though we get frustrated when the third lije goes scoreless for a bit. Most people would prefer seeing him on the fourthlibe

What I've seen with these line projections (assuming everyone is healthy, which is usually pretty rare), Kiviranta is constantly marked as an extra attacker.

I like Kiviranta I'm just f***ing around lol

 

[CobraAcesS]

Y'all are winning the Cup, no doubt.

All of you all stick around. The more NYI fans in every GDT the better.

Nelson is fkn awesome! And we love Roy, I feel bad for him, but I'm sure he's happy for Brock.

Look at those frauds on the bottom

The Sams at top and Toews, Makar at the bottom. Just like we all predicted. Seriously though, Makar had a really, really rough first period. He was playing oddly soft.

Yeah f*** that dude

Sam2 says no.. EJ isn't taking my job lol.

I wish there was some retention.. I was shocked Mitts was a total cap dump.

 

[Valushkin]

Bednar sounded like a kid on Christmas Day all happy when asked about the new guys and how different the team is

Ok but that part is kinda true IMO lol

He's still a sloppy ape

That's what's beautiful about it. The bottom 9 and bottom four D won us that game, and then Mack stepped up to close it in regulation. God that's refreshing.

 

[dahrougem2]

And he still moves well for an older player.

Honestly, it makes me realize how much Mittelstadt was holding this team back.

A truly brutal hockey player.

I'm going to maintain my prediction that Casey Mittelstadt is not playing NHL hockey by the age of 30.

I was too but dumping him was both necessary and wise.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

If Nelson plays well and we can keep him this would also look better. I assume that's the plan.

 

[AvsMakar08]

I won't be surprised if Avs give Nuke an A on his jersey. What an animal he is. Leading by example.

I think he has too much skill, if it's a slower system, and he learned from being here what it really requires to be a 2C on a contender then no.

If he doesn't take himself to another level in the off season. You'll be correct. There is no place for can't keep up, and soft. I don't care how much skill you have.

He's not a 3C, so if he doesn't make it as a 2C. Yeah it will be like NHL quarterbacks. He'll be playing for shit teams or gone.

 

[Drury_Sakic]

I wish there was some retention.. I was shocked Mitts was a total cap dump.

If Boston had retained 50%, I think almost everyone would have marked that trade as at least a push, if not a win for the Avs more clearly. Having that extra cap space next season would have been well worth the 2nd and losing the potential of Mitts.

It gives that trade two seasons of added value vs the one, which feels better when you are relatively certain that in the long run Boston gets the better in the deal.

 

[niwotsblessing]

Big Sam Malinski with 2 Apples tonight.

He's had the toughest job on the team- being paired with AHL level D-men most of the season while trying to contribute to our cause. Drop Sammy G. down to be his partner and he lights shit up.

Plenty of bad teams that need a placeholder top 2 line center to burn minutes. That said, I expect him to rebound back into a 50-60 point player again with less expectations and a reset.

If Kerfoot can stick in the NHL so can Mitts.

 

[MaKarter]

Seems like Bednar noticed too. It'll be funny when he scratched next game for EJ.

EJ is here to practice with Landy.
