GDT: Colorado Avalanche @ Ottawa Senators

[hockeyfish]

I know everyone’s abuzz about it but I like Bednar shifting around the lines a lot right now. It might make for worse product on the ice but he’s gotta figure out who can play with who before the playoffs. And maybe importantly where Lando will slot in if he does come back.

Better to figure this stuff out now versus game 1/2 of a series.

If it was the plan, I would have preferred they practiced and run those lines the whole game, Rather than mid game.

@MarkT Tonight you get to see what your dream top 4 will look like after trading Girard lol

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Wedgewood wincing like he took a stinger somewhere.

This is a good start.

 

[wayninja]

Really nice start so far

 

[AvsMakar08]

No Girard.. nice

"Cup contending" team has a defense of Malinski, Middleton, and EJ.... not good enough.

They are keeping Girard out to make sure that he will be ready for playoffs.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Avs twitter lied.

Drouin and Lehky swapped lines.

Same with Nuke and Necas.

 

[hockeyfish]

LTIR everyone, play only Landy. Should have cap space for it.

Epic GDT!!!!

Love the new avi

This is wrong

Vesey and/or Wood can’t even get in on a B2B. Very telling.

Ah yes, the veteran (26) need rests on the back end of a back-to-back (whooping 16 mins last night).

 

[wayninja]

Gonna be a 20 min PK

 

[JWK]

Wedgewood might be the best player on the team

 

[Richard88]

Having Nelson play well and score a goal or two would be a lot more important than the result of this game.

 

[BobRossColton]

Time to see the 2C we should've paid for..

 

[Hennessy]

Looked like an Ottawa PP there.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Drouin - MacKinnon - Nichushkin
Lehkonen - Nelson - Necas
Colton - Coyle - Kiviranta
Kelly - Drury - O’Connor

Love the new avi

It's my playoffs avatar. I'll go back to shark kittie after the parade.

 

[forsbergavs32]

So I see we're going for the "only playing in the D zone strategy"

I like those lines much better than last game.

It'll probably change during the game, too

 

[BobRossColton]

Girard day to day?

 

[sethro109]

Good takeaway by Middleton.

 

[missionAvs]

Great start.

 

[missionAvs]

Yeesh Toews hurt now too?

 

[wayninja]

Avs look like little f***ing girls playing against grown men
