GDT: Colorado Avalanche@ Winnipeg Jets 10/26/14 1 PM MDT

This makes sense, but I don't agree with any line combos that break up Iglina and Duchene right now..... they looked real good last game.

I agree with you completely. I was just floating the possibility. The Tanguay-Duchene-Iginla line is playing really well so no reason to break it up. For the 2nd line, even though it's not productive, who else do you put up there? Only McGinn could be shuffled up and that would involve demoting Landeskog, and I'm against that. So basically the lines we have now are logical, except Briere should be on the 3rd line.

Tanguay-Duchene-Iginla
Landeskog-Mackinnon-ROR
McGinn-Mitchell-Briere
Mcleod-Cliche/Winchester-Talbot

On D (might as well include it), I'm in favor of moving Redmond up and Barre down.

Hejda-EJ
Holden-Redmond
Stuart-Barrie

Only duo clicking? Duchene and Iginla look real good together now.

Guenin's forming some great chemistry with the nacho guy too. Need to keep that duo together as long as possible.

If that chemistry gets broken up.. Hello McDavid.

 

[22FUTON9]

Yeah that second line is never going to function as is. Maybe it will get a bit better but its not a permanent solution. Roy even admitted on the radio that O'Reilly probably should play with Duchene. I don't know what's stopping him now.

What did he specifically say?

I still kinda want duchene with ror, but after yesterdays game I think it wouldn't sit too well and wont be fair to pull Tanguay and Iggy apart.

would like another blow out tmrw (fingers crossed)

 

[ORLY]

If we win, winnipeg is going to implode

It was on the Fan radio show on Thursday. I don't remember the exact words but he said something like yeah he knows O'Reilly and Duchene work really well together and he will go back to that.

After the big win I'm fine keeping the lines the same next game but I think its much more valuable to get that O'Reilly-Duchene chemistry back in the long run and we are not getting the best out of Landy and MacKinnon either. To get a little less out of Tanguy and to get more out of those three would put us out ahead.

No more blowout talk, you all know what happens when those things are said. They probably won't score 7 again all season. Let's just go back to winning any way it comes. This one is going to be close, book it.

No team in the league has been held back longer by poor coaching and uproariously bad goaltending than the Jets. That roster isn't elite, but way better than their record the last couple season indicates.

And will probably be that way for the next 3 seasons or so.

 

[Avsboy]

Mackinnon will break out this game.

3rd straight game I can't watch

 

[EdAVSfan]

I never understood the idea of breaking up what works to help out those not working.

Duchene tanguay and iginla should be left alone. When something works, leave it the **** alone.

ROR, Landy and Mack just need to get their **** together. They're too good to not have it work eventually. And if it doesn't work for another 3-4 games, then keep tinkering with the struggling players until some combo works.

But leave the players who've developed chemistry so far, alone.

Jeez, get a life.

So if Avs extend their point streak to three games...

Oh he'll find himself suddenly unable to watch games--we'll all see to that.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

I'll be missing the game, have a game myself. Hope to see a big blowout in our favour by the time my game is done. As much fun as it is to yell McEichefin, I'd rather the Avs by chasing the cup.

Just means you're not a real fan.

 

[The Shermanator]

Just means you're not a real fan.

I bet you're Jim Watson.

 

[El_Loco_Avs]

Yay for another afternoon game. I might have difficulty staying awake. Just returned from NY. Zzzz

 

[TheStranger]

I bet you're Jim Watson.

No, but I'd definitely make a better mayor

 

[viach]

Hope for a big game from ourd 2nd line Landy, ROR and McKinnon. Especially, Mack.
I would love a big day from him...

0 goal in 8 games

Other note for the idea of breaking up lines


McGinn-Mitchell-talbot looked as good as last year; keep it togethee

 

[tigervixxxen]

You can't focus on stats like that, it really doesn't matter now that he's not going for the Calder. MacKinnon has 4 assists, he will be fine. All I care about is the team winning. Considering their start, you really think anyone is going to have a great +/- rating?

 

[seafoam]

Who's getting the start?

 

[Bubba Thudd]

Most likely Varlamov.

Changed to GDT per the request of the person making the GDT (said they likely wouldn't have time to make one today)
