GDT: Avs @ Kraken - 8PM MT - "Return to the Shattered Realms"

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

I would like to see:

Drouin-MacK-Rants
Wood-RyJo-Nuke
Lehky-Colton-Tatar

 

[redacted]

He doesn't look like a center yet, but it's been a year. That's all I'm saying, and there is supposed to be underrated playmaking ability there. He's smart, but he's only showed it in his defensive reads so far.

I’m in the camp that Colton has some under appreciated skill… he’s just not going to pull it out when he’s on a line that is all menace. Tatar isn’t an assertive enough offensive guy to draw out that skill. I honestly prefer moving down Nuke or Lehky and just going on pressure and chaos.

 

[nammerus]

Line 2 was in the O zone all period at least . Line 1 has not been good at all in this one

Lehkonen - xGF% 21%
Ryjo - xG% 21%
Drouin - xGF% 28%

So..no. They were not in the offensive zone all period. Unless you meant the Kraken’s offensive zone.

If you have ESPN +, why must you log in through another provider to watch this game?

I think out of our LDs, JJ would be the best on the right. His game doesn't really have to change much because he keeps it simple anyways.

Both G and Byram suck balls on the right. Toews has never played there for us as far as I know but he's Makars partner so it's a moot point anyways.

Then you’re moving Manson or JJ up… which is asking for disaster. There just isn’t a good solution here right now.

 

[The Moops]

Why does Toews sit on the floor in the locker room.

My knees hurt if I sit and they are bent, but I can sit on the floor fine since my legs are straight. Maybe a comfort thing

 

[sethro109]

I still haven't seen Tatar at all tonight. I hope he can find a groove soon.

 

[Metallo]

The Avs kinda need a quick start to the 2nd or I'm turning it off.

 

[Valushkin]

At least the 2nd is new. The 3rd has been together since camp. Don’t know what the fix is. Put it in the Blendnar

I don’t think this 3rd line ever had chemistry even in camp. Maybe move Colton to 2C RyJo to 3C

Because it is an actual ESPN game and that isn’t included with ESPN+.

I saw him turn the puck over

The NHL has an obfuscation strategy. They feel it maximizes security if it's unwieldy, difficult, arcane, or even impossible to buy their product.

I seen enough lol. Bring on Bedard.

 

[Avaholic19]

Are we talking about panic attacks? Worst thing ever. I'm convinced I'm about to have a heart attack any minute. Unfortunately I have had them in traffic and on airplanes.

 

[sethro109]

I'm still in awe that G has been really good on the PK. I thought for sure he'd struggle there.

 

[John Mandalorian]

No kidding. But its in the Plus scroll. And why shouldnt it be inclusive?

 

[wayninja]

I don't think I've ever seen a team struggle to collect and control pucks like the avalanche

No. Anxiety. Drouin suffered with it. I didnt know what it was and I asked.

Dunno, but it sucks and I'm pissed. Pretty sure that means the game Thursday too. Or not? Idk, which is the main problem.

 

[sethro109]

JD back on the top line.

 

[niwotsblessing]

Drouin back on the first line.

Oh I see

 

[Valushkin]

Can’t even make simple passes out there

Buffalo almost all the time.

 

[wayninja]

Another super simple entry pass missed/mishandled
