GDT: Avs @ Kraken - 10/22/2024 @ 6:30 PM MST (yet another emergency GDT)

[The Abusement Park]

Ya, I'd actually say Ritchie's play has gotten WORSE somehow over the last 7 games. His defence was always bad but in the first couple games it seemed like he was more involved offensively. Now he's not doing anything but hurting the team.

Probably getting overwhelmed and overthinking things right now.

Holy shit, Ritchie should probably be sent down after this game. He got absolutely murdered in only 6-plus minutes of ice time.

The rest of the chart plays out about how you'd expect.

It is not just this game, but in general his defense and impact is incredibly bad right now. He's not a high motor guy, so if he's not making a good impact, he should be sitting. But the Avs just don't have a ton of bodies to right now.

I didn't even know it was possible to have such poor stats in 6 minutes of ice time.

Matches the eye test though. He's not ready to be an NHLer this year.

I do hope he injects some more energy into his game. He just looks like a statue out there whenever I notice him. Bednar snuck him out there for some power play time in the latter half of the game but that was about it, I think he double-shifted Kiviranta (who was excellent) in his place.

Trashing Georgie does the team no good. Even if he's only here for another 5 games you may as well get 5 games at the best he can bring you.

Publicly trashing your guy is a bullet you can only fire once. Game 6 of the season isn't the time.

- the second period was probably the best period the Avs have played this season. The game would have been over if it wasn't for Kovalenko's brainfart

- if Cale was playing for a Canadian team the Norris hype machine would be in overdrive right now

- Kivi and Ivan look much better than Kelly

- just get rid of George and go with the Finns until something better becomes available
