Post-Game Talk: avs @ NYR

[ReggieDunlop68]

Naw, we're good. Grubby has been off of late but he'll get it together. Our back-up has been aces so far.

Ok dude.

So Ellis gets nothing for a flagrant elbow to Buch's head, and Lindgren will be suspended for what was almost clearly a clean hit. Makes sense.

Clean?

If someone hit Panarin the exact same way, I would bet every dollar I had your opinion would be the polar opposite.

 

[offdacrossbar]

ryan will get 2 games.

initial point of impact was the head.

the league has been pretty clear with hits to the head.

 

[eco's bones]

Players who look to make big hits as Lindgren did last night are going to have to answer the bell now and again whether or not a big hit is a good one or not. For me it was hard to tell exactly whether that was a high hit or not. If the DOPS does suspend they will probably show a better angle than what I saw. That said Ryan was not penalized for the hit and the NBC team did not make a case that it was bad.

Lindgren fought several times in the AHL last year and at least some of those times were after he made a big hit. As for the fight he was absolutely jumped by Kadri and was really in a situation where he almost couldn't defend himself. This starts with Kadri coming at him from behind and starting to swing almost as soon as Lindgren's gloves are coming off and never letting up. Years ago that would have started a real brawl in that one or more of Ryan's teammates would have been all over Kadri before it got as far as it got. Nowadays there are penalties for that as well and most players don't fight and are use to standing around when something like this happens instead of interfering in a fight when a teammate of theirs is getting pasted.

What to do--either forget it or wait until we play Colorado again. Lindgren will willingly fight. He could get better at it but part of what happens is reach sometimes and Ryan doesn't have a lot of that.

Ellis did get away with a flagrant head hit though.

 

[Alluckks]

Michael Sauer has his career ended on that exact hit and nothing happens because it was Dion Phaneuf playing for Toronto

Kronwall makes a career throwing hits like that and the main boards on every hockey forum threw a parade each time a new person got ‘Kronwalled’

Ovechkin runs around making those hits for half his career and NBC can’t stop talking about his edge he plays with

Zibanejad misses a month due to a hit with the exact same shoulder placement and nothing happens because it was Bergeron playing on Boston

But a no name rookie makes a hit holding the blueline and we have a hearing on it because it was on NBC, what a joke

 

[Alluckks]

Send McKegg out there with a frying pan next time to clock Kadri, worth it

You can follow that to hear the official announcement of what Lindgren gets, possibly with a contradictory explanatory video.

Igor looked very solid after the Avs got the jump

Team played one of their better games of the season. We seem to step it up in games like this against really good teams, which is nice.

we played 2 of our best games in a row , Markstrom just decided to use up all his good goaltending the other night. Kakko also back to back effective games. Good sign.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Can't say that anyone in the Shark's system remotely interests me. Pretty much just their 1st round pick but I don't imagine Georgiev fetching that high of a price unless Wilson is dealing out of desperation.

their 2nd (should be early) or maybe Leblanc straight up

 

[motopanekeku]

Sucker jabs

Rabbit punches are around the back of the head

True Kadri pretty much threw a flurry of haymakers and caught him off guard. A good lesson for Lindgren to expect to be jumped when he lays big hits like that.

 

[Fitzy]

So is Hajek going to be ready next game or should we be expecting Smith/A callup at defense?

 

[duhmetreE]

Clean?

HA! no one can hit Panarin that way because his head is always up

 

[Machinehead]

Need moar grit

Yes.

Don't hurt my players and f*** every other team.

You are absolutely correct.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

one thing you can’t call this is team is boring

 

[Machinehead]

one thing you can’t call this is team is boring

That's true.

The analytics all say this team is a circus both during the play and between the whistles.

 

[Machinehead]

No cheap points for Fast last night.

Two no-look passes and a stop at the blueline.

 

[usekakkorightquinn]

Lindgren reminds me so much of Girardi it's scary. He could have easily just turtled against that pig Kadri. He didn't. Typical of losers like Kadri who can't take one of their players taking a clean, big hit. They think they have to act tough. I was hoping DeAngelo would have kicked his azzzz later but the game was too close to do something stupid.

I still think they will deal DeAngelo but they better get a heck of a forward for him. You really need size on d in the playoffs. It's a marathon. It's a shame they have 3, super talented righty d men in DeAngelo, Fox and Lundkvist and then have Trouba. I guess you could have Trouba play the left side. Go with Lindgren and Hajek after they dump Smith and Staal. Hear really good things about Rykov. The scary things is the Rangers could probably deal 4 defenseman prospects for two, young, high ceiling proven NHL fowards and still have 6 defenseman who are super talented on their d below the age of 26. d


Sharks are in major problem on d. Burns is now showing his age. Their defenseman are getting old quick. Gorton could probably easily get Hertl or Meier. Hertl is a beast on draws. They could also easily get Tuch. They have the defenseman prospects up the wazoo to get those guys. You put Tuch and Hertl on this team, you are looking at a team that could be a beast for years.

 

[Hi ImHFNYR]

Montreal typical is one of my favorite non sequiturs I'll throw out there in my DTD life despite knowing no one will know wth I'm referencing.

Especially when something goes poorly as expected...like finding out about a sexual predator in Hollywood, a corrupt politician or a reboot/sequel that stamps on the series legacy

Brb gonna write "Montreal Typical" on somebody's F paper.

Oh yeah Kadri was being a punk for sure. Just a bunch of sucker punches.

I mostly do away broadcasts because it is refreshing to hear unbiased non-rehashed takes on our guys. And despite the shit everyone gives them, most crews are pretty solid and unbiased, though I mostly skip between the whistles. Inevitably, at about the 10 minute point of the 1st period, every single other broadcast team goes on about how exciting and open their team is playing that particular day, much to their surprise.

I got a secret for all those broadcast teams, it ain't the local boys just deciding to open it up, it's the opponent keepin' it fresh for ya

I have also been trying to watch more away broadcasts as well, Sam and Joe are starting to get repetitive and yeah like you said, I want to hear outside perspectives on our team.
