GDT: Avalanche vs Oilers 03/16/24 @8:00PM MST (Emergency GDT) These bragging rights are good for 19 days.

Bednar needs to do something with this Colton line. Too slow, no puck skills, and are always chasing the play.

Colton and Wood just can’t play anyway but north south. If you stop that they just can’t do anything. They either need another guy like that (Duhaime) or they need a skill guy.

Man that 4th line. When they came onto the ice and RACED into the zone just to set up their forecheck while the Oilers had possession it looked fast.

Oilers D had no answer for the speed. That is the difference between our bottom six and theirs. Ours is all speed and physicality. Their bottom six has slugs like Perry, Ryan, Janmark, etc.

Colton can't finish

Can't catch either

 

[drhiii]

From Texas?

From wherever he wants to be. Tx is good tho.

Duhaime bringing some honour back to #12 after He Who Shall Not Be Named. What a pick up.

I feel like that is exactly where Kovalenko will be tried, then Parise dropped to the 4th line and Cogliano scratched.

Kovalenko father said that he can be a top 6. I don't know about that.

Fun fact, Kovalenko's father is also named Ismo

 

[GeoRox89]

Thanks! Never seen them blend in so well they look like they aren’t there

 

[missionAvs]

The top line is just ever so slightly off on their passes.

Well, yeah, like 9 months ago.

Probably… until he skates through the neutral zone with his head down.

 

[sethro109]

I really like when they send Ceci out vs the top line. I hope they do that more.

 

[Avs_19]

Couple of nice defensive plays from Mikko tonight. He’s active.

We'll get there when we get there.

 

[Metallo]

Nice block by Nuke there.

They keep saying the Oilers are just “loading up” with McDraisaitl as if everyone else doesn’t realize they play together huh eat almost permanently

 

[GeoRox89]

[RoyIsALegend]

Lmao Josh Manson knew they were going to take a shot at him at the whistle and just braced himself and sent the dude flying

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

[The Merchant]
