Colorado Avalanche Training Camp Dates

How has Parker Kelly been looking at center? Any chance he plays the position or will he be purely a winger?

Awful, he better be a winger

I would have given Mandolese more game time, it seems too premature of a cut for me.

Can't wait to watch us ice a team with no MacKinnon, Rantanen, Makar, and Toews tonight.

Relax...these are the last few games of the season where Bednar won't be riding them into the f***ing ground.

It'd still be good to play one f***ing game and be in game condition for when the season starts, especially a guy like Rantanen who will be even more Bambi-like with no game time under his belt.

True...but doesn't Bednar usually dress his starting team for the final exhibition game? At least my memory is that the established stars from the Avs basically sit everything out until the final game.

Don’t we still have like 4 pre-season games left?

I'd only play our stars if Utah is playing theirs. I don't want a AHL scrub going knee on knee with MacK.

 

[ANewHope]

I don't want the Avs playing the star players much. No reason to risk injury and you already know they'll be getting overplayed in season so let them rest up.

Be nice to see Kovy become a legitimate NHLer this year even if it is only on the 4th line.

Some stars are playing, cause they want to get ready, but does you have that uh, gdt thread for the game against utah today?

6 preseason games is just too much. I mean after only 2 games we pretty much already know who’s gonna make the roster and who’s not. Just play like 3 games and be done with.

For a team like the Avs, the preseason is 100% meaningless. Just try to not get injured. For a rebuilding team, the more games the better. I don't know what the right number is, but I can't get excited for preseason hockey anymore. It is either a bad team trying to find young players filter in, or a good team that is just trying to not get hurt.

Eh, it's useful in that Jared can cross a lot of names off the list of people he trusts.
