Post-Game Talk: Birthday Boy Bertuzzi Bashes the Avalance!

[Stephen]

I dont no why it took Keefe so long to demote Tavares to 3rd line and off PP1

team looks totally different. Interesting how one player movement can change dynamic of team

Yeah JT isn’t good for the flow of the PP and line 2. With him further down and off the special teams everything runs a lot more smoothly.

Boston just lost in OT again. 13 Overtime losses for Boston.

At the beginning of the season I was told that this was the tell of a bad team.

Boston with 13 loser points, makes me smile… ok laugh, lol

 

[Evilhomer]

Boston loses!

7 points back with 2 games in hand, we also play them 2 more times

We are coming

Shhhhh,.....

 

[Stephen]

It's a treat to go back and read some of those early season threads. Personally, I'm still wondering if this team is serious.

Florida’s the serious team in this division.

 

[Cleetus]

yea pretty fun game, I enjoyed it!

 

[Leaf Rocket]

I’m pretty sure he wanted the Leafs to trade Marner for Gudbranson at one point too.

"this is why Toruna never gets the cup" no ritchie no gudbranson

I think he looks better with McMann too. Back in his Islander days he played his best hockey with grinders. Kinda a poor man’s Crosby.

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

The rare game where I have no complaints from either the team or the officiating. I knew this would be a good one and wasn't disappointed.

Yeah McMann is looking good generally so they can work together and play heavy.

 

[torontoblood]

Oh they beat Vegas and Colorado? Talk to me when they beat a good team.

Our next 13 games will be tough:

vs Vegas
vs Phoenix
vs NY Rangers
vs Boston
vs Buffalo
at Boston
at Montreal
at Philadelphia
vs Carolina
at Philadelphia
at Washington
vs Edmonton
at Carolina

Tavares on the third line also allows Keefe to bump him to Matthews line situationally a bit better.

I love how they spread it out.. and Nylander with Domi/Bert really works well. Those two need a line driver and Willy can give them the time and space to produce

Until they win regularly against NYR, CAR, FLA and BOS they aren't a serious team.

Save this post because you will need it.

good payback for the last game where we started 3-0

 

[meefer]

The speed the Avs have is scary.
We played a pretty good defensive game in the 3rd, but sheesh.
Sammy stepping up.
Bert, is that you? Where you been?
Love listening to Joe Bowen calling Bert's third.

Poor man’s Crosby, his cap hit is almost 3 million more than Syd. Lol

 

[RealisticLeaf55]

Bertuzzi with a hell of a game. Marner and Nylander also looked brilliant. Love to see it. 7 games straight!

 

[Roo]

Tough game, but good on the boys for coming out with the W. Bert and Sammy stellar today. Tough one for Tavares at the end, puck bounced, but someone with his skill should hit that empty net easy from the blue line.

Sure. But we can’t change that can we?
All the team can do is accept the situation they are in and do what they can to maximize their current assets

The rest of our schedule is filled of like.. 90% good teams.

Hardly any dud games on paper remaining.

Other than Arizona and Washington the rest are good teams, or teams that play us good (Buffalo, Habs)

Good. Let this team go into the playoffs battle tested this year.

I think you will end up being proven incorrect.

That is good imo they won't be able to shift back down a gear or two heading into the playoffs.

We are at our best when we play good teams, bring them on.
