GDT: Dawn Dish Soap vs BP Oil Spill - 4PM HST

[dahrougem2]

Oh and it’s a wrap for Casey. We can stop with the “he’s playing better!” Bednar is completely done with that dude. Finished.

Oh yeah. Get him the f*** out of here. He's an abomination.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

3 Makar points and a win against the Oils? What could be better?

If Makar had gotten that second goal earlier off that pass from Necas so that the SHG was his hatty goal

 

[dahrougem2]

He just doesn't trust that 2nd line at all. Even Drouin gets low minutes when stuck in there.

Drouin only gets low minutes because he's playing with arguably Bednar's two most despised forwards.

As soon as Nichushkin returns, that line will see an increase in ice time but I'm afraid if it's Mittelstadt between them, it's going to be ineffective.

You can't play 4v5 constantly and with him on the ice that's basically what it is.

 

[Balthazar]

That little amount of time for Parssinen is still criminal.

Healthy scratch in the real playoffs.

 

[CobraAcesS]

I know we wish MacKinnon, Makar, and Toews could rest but truly the one guy who deserves it the most is Lehkonen and he's gotta now go to battle for Finland.

Every single one of this guy's shifts is a f***ing war. In front, in the corners, chasing down pucks, blocking shots, taking abuse.

F*** me. If he wasn't so prideful I'd hope he would fake some injury and rest for two weeks.

Lehkky is our great underrated player we'll remember for ever.

Scored the Cup goal

Oh and it’s a wrap for Casey. We can stop with the “he’s playing better!” Bednar is completely done with that dude. Finished.

The Avs officially listing him as the 4th line center was a not-so-subtle shot.

He’s done.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Good, even game.

Now the elephant in the room...Mitts with just 9:34 TOI. Something is gonna have to give in that situation. Absolute waste of cap on a guy that's sucking that you're paying almost 6m a year.

CMac needs to move Mitts by the 4 Nations, it’s clear Bednar hates him

 

[drhiii]

I can't believe they opted not to score there at the end. Bad decision

#1 star of the nite post.

He's the non-pest version of Claude Lemieux. A f***ing gamer who is arguably the most clutch player in hockey.

 

[Chileiceman]

Now 4 Nations guys, please don't get hurt.

I didn't think be second line was so bad to get stapled to the bench the whole game. I'd rather them than having to watch Miles Wood these days.

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

I thought mitts was just a little off. He had so many times where he was just about to push the puck forward and get away. Or deke through a defender. Or a pass just didn't click.

If he has a play driving winger like Nuke on his line for an entire playoff run I genuinely think Mitts would look solid.

Or if he played in the AHL.

Either of those two options.

 

[drhiii]

Bouchard was out there at the end. I've rarely seen such an ice tilting dominating performance.

It's like through sheer force of will he was able to force the Avs to have the puck and shoot against his net.

[Bill Peckerskull]

Good W!

 

[Avs_19]

They finally stopped the new guy hazing and gave him the damn hat.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Mittelstadt created literally 0 individual offense. Like, not a sliver.

Even Parssinen, in less time, and Drouin, his linemates, created some offense.

He’s so cooked.

 

[PG Canuck]

Drouin in the doghouse? Why did his minutes fall off the face of the Earth?

 

[BrickNHL]

Cale is so f***ing good and now he’s gonna go on the international stage and show everyone that he’s the best player in the world

 

[Vaslof]

Yeah it will be Mitts, unless he gets traded. In any case Parssinen is going down the line-up. Not that there'll be much of a difference to what he gets now.

 

[forsbergavs32]

I don't foresee Mitts being here once the break is over. He's making 5.75m to play less than 10 minutes on the 4th line. Bednar has made it obvious he's done here, it's time to move him before he loses any more value.

I'm also done with Wood, Colton, and de Haan too.

This was Parssinen’s last game until the next injury.

Val is supposed to be good to go after the tournament. Parssinen will for sure be sacrificed as the healthy scratch for Val.

Lehky is such a strange animal. When you see him in the locker room he looks pretty damn small, he doesn't skate fast, doesn't have good hands, doesn't have a good shot, doesn't do anything great.

Dude is 100% hockey IQ and effort.

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

Makar and MacK are going to get the 4 nations as a vacation.

Only playing 18 minutes a game. MacK will genuinely think its only the second intermission after the games are over.

Makar is going to feel refreshed.

 

[Avs_19]

Casey played 6 more mins than Ryan Donato had points tonight (4).

It's the coordination + reaction time. He's amazing at how fast and accurately he react when shit breaks down.
