Let's discuss lineup combos now!

No Siemens or Everberg. Roy said on the radio Siemens would play vs. Calgary so maybe he gets the road game.

 

[Avs71]

O'Reilly-Duchene-Iginla
Landeskog-MacKinnon-Tanguay
Agozzino-Hishon-Rendulic
Schumacher-Henley-Maggio

Stuart-Johnson
Hejda-Barrie
Holden-Elliott

Varly
Pickard

Looks like Roy might want to win this one.

 

[S E P H]

Give Will one damn game.

 

[Lonewolfe2015]

Looks like Roy wants to see our top guys gel some more before the season starts. Which is understandable given the Montreal game which showed some last of chemistry.

 

[tigervixxxen]

Give Will one damn game.

I don't think he will. He wants Berra to get in at least 4 games and I bet Varly gets the Vegas game.

 

[Freudian]

The team will be more plugalicious in Calgary, I bet.

 

[BoxOfChocolates]

I'm guessing most of the top 6 will get the road game off.

 

[Avsboy]

The Calgary team looks worse than Montreal's B squad.

They can't make much in terms of cuts prior to that then

 

[Avs_19]

I'm actually glad this one isn't televised. Can't overreact to what you can't see (I hope).

 

[Foppa2118]

Barrie, Duchene, MacKinnon, O'Reilly, Landy, and Rendulic all playing 3 games in 4 nights here. Hope they all stretch well, and Patty manages their ice time. Don't need any groin injuries or anything, pushing themselves this hard in pre-season.

Pretty sure this is a must win game. Those guys should be getting big minutes.

 

[Taak19]

Must win game in the preseason? We're not Leaf fans.

 

[OldSchoolAvalanche*]

Anyword on who if any of the fringe guys are gonna make the team?

I don't understand why the NHL doesn't broadcast preseason. I love watching the broncos preseason.

 

[MarkGio]

Flames fans coming to wish good luck. I see the Avs are icing their near-NHL squad. The Flames have taken the approach of giving all their contracts looks, while making cuts along the way. This should be lopsided.

Does anyone know if this will be aired on the Avs website or local television networks?

 

[tigervixxxen]

Radio only. We don't stream. Btw, are you guys streaming the game on Tuesday?

Would make sense as he is from Edmomton. Roy is probably given him a chance to play in front of family.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Hope Siemens will play in Calgary since I am going to that game

Avs starters lost to Montreal's AHL team so don't be too sure.

We weren't playing Maggio last time, this time we will be. Goons make you win games, that is a fact.

 

[Balthazar]

Barrie, Duchene, MacKinnon, O'Reilly, Landy, and Rendulic all playing 3 games in 4 nights here.

Roy started making changes on the first 2 lines during the 2nd half of the last game. He's still in test mode since Iggy with Duchene and ROR hasn't been a success so far. Bet Iggy plays with Mack and Landy tonight.

Should be yes, but it probably won't.

 

[PeterTheGreat]

Im calling it.

First MUST WIN game of the season.

 

[Rumplesnipeskin]

5-2 Avs, I'm calling it... please

 

[The Shermanator]

Im calling it.

I think by definition MUST WIN means that if we lose we can no longer win the Stanley Cup.

But I agree. It's a must win.

 

[bromando]

Im calling it.

First MUST WIN game of the season.

Nooooo you forgot the sarcasm face. Must win or what? Our season is ruined? Must win means that if you don't win, things ate going to turn out really poorly. It's bad enough when people say it in the early season. There are never must win games in preseason.
