GDT: Aves vs. Goldne Nights - Preseason Game 5... I think?

[dahrougem2]

So Fatso was good in goal?

He looked steady.

Ritchie turned the puck over a lot. Was trying to feed MacK but they were low percentage passes. He really doesn’t look ready but he’ll probably start the year here.

He’s almost NHL ready just not quite yet

Ritchie should go back to juniors. Didnt play a pro game. We should take the chance and go get lebanc asap.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Ya I dont know if Ritchie is ready, didn't look great tonight I thought. Particularly defensively I felt like he was slow with decisions.

He's probably going to get some games but I would definitely send him back before the 10th game.

Nate setup Ritchie with some good passes in the 3rd. And he totally blew it.

Wood hasn't been perfect, but he's had an excellent training camp and preseason IMHO.

Looks like the tank is over now.

 

[forsbergavs32]

Just got home

Judging by the score, we must be contending again

 

[dahrougem2]

Yeah I'm thinking the Avs might keep Ritchie solely to give him a look at some regular season games before he goes back down.

Not sure Bednar agrees. He kind of called him out the other day.
