Do we have anyone to pound Benn if needed? If that dbag runs one of our guys I would have liked to see wood save his injury for that but now … Kyllington? Or let Manson off the leash.

Sadly, Shittyton was starting to look like the best of the 3. So if course the hockey Gods said "Absolutely f***ing not!".
Meh - I'm not a fan. IF he decided that he was going to simplify his game to make sure he keeps his mistakes to a minimum, he 'might' be ok.

But for the most part, he's not playing like that. It's almost as if he's trying to keep-up skill-wise with the best players on the team and that's just not going to happen. Even last game, he tried this little high-risk pass between his legs in his own zone which could have led to disaster but luckily for him, it didn't but it was completely needless.

To me, in his 8 games with the Avs - he's been a player who's careless with the puck and prone to turnovers - who seems to be overthinking it rather than just focusing on making the safe play to make sure he stays in the league.

I don't disagree with any of this, but CDH and Ludvig have both made it very clear, they're also shit. Of the 3, I felt like he was the only one on an upswing. CDH just looks like he's washed up now. I don't think he's going to "figure it out" here. Ludvig looked decent in his first two games, but since then it has been really bad.

I just hope we nad someone at the TDL, because all 3 are not good enough.

Manson would absolutely destroy that bum just like the last time they fought in November '22



Would love to see this happen again

Seems like the logical choice for that kind of thing but he's injured.

He seems like a guy who wants to make plays but is just brutal with the puck.

No wonder the Avs have valued having a skills coach since Bednar arrived and spend tons of time working on basic skills. Kylington bobbles SO many passes it is incredible.

I don’t know about you, but I do believe we’re losing this game
