GDT: G9: Senators @ Avalanche - 10/27/24 @ 7:00 PM MST

[CaleMakaw]

It will be Fourgiev and it likely will be his last shot. If he shits himself again and has a sub .800 or something hes done for imo

If that's the case. I hope they get lit up. The avs will win more games in the long run with juice and kahk

 

[SirLoinOfCloth]

That was a fun game. Closer than it needed to be though. Mitts is a really good player, yo. In person I got to appreciate it more. Colton also had a really solid game. Mack seemed pretty quiet, Makar too.

I missed mansons goal as I said before and then the wife wanted to leave a couple of minutes early to "avoid the crowds" so we left after the empty netter. So I missed ottawas last goal too.

One underrated thing I liked about tonight was playing a team like Ottawa there are basically no away fans, or very few. So when they scored the place didn't erupt like it does when Chicago are in town. I hate those games. They feel like away games sometimes. f*** that team and that God awful franchise. I hope bedard gets a heavy head cold.

I didn't really notice, but I guess they were hitting the shit out of us.

Not surprised. Ottawa plays a more physical game and the refs look the other way when all the inside shots are delivered. I was surprised at how much speed the Sens showed in the 2nd and 3rd.

I hope one of the reporters asks Bednar why he swapped the top two lines and top two D pairings when we were firmly in control of the game leading 2-0 and had sustained pressure shift after shift in the Sens zone.

I’m still perplexed by that decision.

I just finished watching the game and was going to offer my thoughts but you've been beating the drum on my biggest thought.
1. If the Sens actually managed the comeback, the L should have been tagged on Bednar and not Justus. Bednar took it upon himself to single handedly change the feel of a game we were controlling.
2. I finally realized that Kovy is reminding me of Lehky. Just stout defensive play and you can see the tantalizing offensive instincts. I'll be extremely happy if he's a 3rd line Lehky, but honestly, it's not that far fetched that he could be a good third wheel on a second line playing that Lehky role.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Wonder if Lehky is an option for tomorrow night, since I imagine he'll see the doctor during the day. If he gets the all clear he's well practiced and ready, would be nice to have some fresh legs in the lineup on the b2b.

They actually did ask him. He said he didn't like the way the Top line was playing, particularly in execution. Felt like they had times of getting a bunch of pressure but didn't actually capitalize or turn it into the chances they should. And then said Girard was having a really strong game while Cale/Toews were struggling at times so he flipped them as well.


He also said he actually thought we weren't very good particularly offensively. Lacked execution and even though we carried the play at times with sustained pressure, they should have had better chances and looks then what they were doing essentially.

 

[the_fan]

We are moving goalposts now as the original question was understood as Mitts right now or ‘22 Kadri.

Either way, your question should be Kadri+Byram or Mitts.

Ok well, my question was just a simple Kadri vs Mitts as a 2C. We don’t have to complicate it like brining up value and stuff. Obviously Byram+Kadri have more value than Mitts

 

[PAZ]

If healthy (lul) i'm really liking our forward depth.

Just have to pray Kahkonen can provide solid goaltending.

Interesting quote…

Bednar is asked if he’s excited by Mitts doing so well with the line he has and the fact that he could be playing with guys like “Val, Drouin, and Lehky” soon.

Bednar responds “those guys have been really strong for us, Kovy O’C with him, but it’s a different ball game when you start to add guys like Drouin, Landy, Val, Lehky.”

The question didn’t include Landeskog; Bednar chose to insert him in the response and suggest he can be part of that group soon.

 

[John Mandalorian]

This team should be 8-1 at this point.

 

[The Merchant]

Mikko remains the dumbest, goofiest superstar in the league.

Casey Mittelstadt is so incredibly f***ing good. What a trade.

 

[RECKLESS]

Mitts. Kovy. Colton.

Damn good jobs.

When we get back to health and full strength I'm feeling really f***ing good about our potential to go reeeeally far here.

 

[Elvs]

How is Chris Wagner looking for you guys? One of my favourite journeymen. Has some of the best hitting highlights you'll find. Happy to see him back in the league, even if it's maybe just temporary with all the Avs forwards currently missing.

[BobRossColton]

This team should be 8-1 at this point.

At the least much better then one above .500

 

[Hennessy]

I'm not sure if I should be disappointed or relieved that I fell asleep after the 2nd.

All's well that ends well, regardless.

Bad.

He gets passed on the depth chart by absolutely any random rookie called up from the AHL.

Zero offensive ability. Literally missed a wide open net from 5 feet out last night.

Extremely average defensively.

Always close to taking a bad penalty.

Poor skater, can’t keep up with the tempo the Avs play.

Seems like a nice guy, but a horrendous hockey player. Not well received on this board at all.

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Someone for the love of God take CDH away from Bednar

 

[Cake Malar]

Makar should be credited with an assist on the Colton goal. He tipped the puck on that clearing attempt and it fell right to Colton.

Indeed

[Avs425]

Landy has probably been ready to go all season but they have an agreement to keep him out on his LTIR long enough to make the roster $ work.

Not sure if that even makes sense cap wise but it’s my new conspiracy theory

 

[Spilot23]

I haven't been around in GTDs for a while. Damn Mitts was a freaking beast last night somehow every single time he had the puck on his stick you could feel something was about to happen. His vision, patience and passing is just off the charts. Best player last night !! Makes LOC and Kovalenko look like 2nd line players

His patience is such a breath of fresh air, he's not as spastic as MacKinnon, and while Rants can be patient, most often it comes with a heavy dose of laziness. Mitts continues to move to open lanes for himself or for others, it's truly fantastic to watch.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Indeed

Not even 2PPG, should've traded him before his value dropped.

 

[AvStock]

That’s actually wild that people are now throwing away Kadri’s monster performance for our cup. Mitts can’t even compare now. Kadri lifting us past the Blues? The OT winner vs Tampa? Such short attention spans smfh
