Confirmed with Link: Avs sign Kovalenko to 2-year deal

[niwotsblessing]

I don't know. Those f***ing chumps just pushed the Avs to OT and this was one of our goalies' best performances of the year.

To win the Cup, they boys know they need to eat ass, so they might as well get started right away, but do you need to go poking the bears in the eye first?

That's because the shit ass refs let Perry hook Manson before the 2nd oil goal. Those idiot fans want to complain about officiating? They should watch their own shit team get bailed out by clueless refs first and realize they were gifted a goal.

PS- I cannot wait to see Kovalenko on the ice with the Avs- full chaos mode with a scoring touch.

Why the f*** is Landy there but Mitts and Parise aren't?

Those people hate Americans.

I believe they focused solely on TDL acquisitions? Mitts was a day early I think and Parise was a while ago.

We traded for Mitts after the Walker trade. Soon after but Walker was the first domino so we could afford to lose Bo

I’m guessing what’s happening is because Mitts trade was a player for player swap they’re not considering that as the team ‘adding’ for a playoff run so much as rearranging from an area of strength to weakness

This theory works. Because the trade for Walker didn't involve dropping an NHL player.

If it wouldn’t have gotten them in trouble they could’ve added the other very impactful move - getting RyJo the hell away from this team

Kovy is coming over with a knee sprain, according to his dad. Shouldn't be out long though.

Appreciate all your Kovy coverage!

Does that place his speculated Friday first game in jeopardy? Do you know if he plans to begin practicing with the team soon?

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Do we know what number he will be wearing yet?

 

[a mangy Meowth]

Do we know what number he will be wearing yet?

My guess is 51 like he wore at Torpedo

 

[Hasbro]

My guess is 51 like he wore at Torpedo

Kovid-51?

 

[pont]

My guess is 51 like he wore at Torpedo

His dad wore 51 back in his NHL days, so that would make sense.

 

[henchman21]

It'll be 18.

 

[sethro109]

It'll be 18.

At some point, a player will break that curse and even in that guy's 12th season we'll still be worried.

I think that was Mile High Hockey just making things up with that date, but if he’s still dinged up, may be a little longer.

Let's not take that chance....51 it is.

 

[MonsterMack]

I'm guessing 15 since Trenin changed away from that

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

It'll be 18.

 

[Zandar]

That’s the best way to look at him. Anything past that is setting yourself up for disappointment.

And that’s not to say he won’t be a good or effective player for us. But I’m not seeing a top 6 type guy.

I would be fine with the forward version of Kasparaitis.

Avalanche Film Room: The Nikolai Kovalenko Experience

The eagle has landed. Nikolai Kovalenko has made his way across the pond and is officially in Denver. It’s just a matter of time before he makes his debut in a Colorado Avalanche jersey, but for most people, they have no clue what type of player he is. As someone who watched a little too […]

The guy plays like a combo of Cogs, Nuke, and Parise. Not that I am expecting him to be THAT good immediately, or maybe ever, but that's what he reminds me of. Like the Tasmanian Devil from Bugs Bunny.

 

[Gumballhead]

The more talented grit this team can get the better. Nightmare opponent for the playoffs.

 

[BobRossColton]

I feel like I overlooked this, but kovy is going to have to deal with the time change. Ha

Yahoo Fantasy in their player update sais he’s reassigned to AHL and hopefully can play in the fall when his injury has healed. Are they grossly missinformed or we now know it is that bad?
