Post-Game Talk: Game 10: Avalanche @ Hurricanes | Avs Lose 3-2

[AvsRobin]

I wanna know what's up with EJ. He does not look good at all.

 

[Shaggy88]

Lolwut?

The first. Boston used him against weak competition. There's a reason why he struggled against second line competition in the east when he was called up after injury. Is it going to be easier in the west? No.

The second, watch the interviews, look at Roy's eyes. He's not happy but he's not throwing his guys under the bus, it's not his style and I respect that. Just my opinion. Feel free to add more discussion and I'll happily respond

One thing is sure, he is trying to do too much. Too many times he as tried to go coast to coast on his own.

Looks atrocious to be honest. As I've said in the past, if it's not mental issues, sit. Physical issues need time to heal

Glad ive stopped watching the boys for a couple games

"IMO the loss are mute on the players and not the couch"

I was refering to that. Not sure how I managed to double quote you.

I think people are overestimating the injuries. I bet Duchene, landeskog, Johnson are all fine there just playing like ****.

I disagree he looks atrocious. He looks like #2 to Beauch instead of #1 to Beauxmch #2. Adjustment period? Injury? Who knows

 

[Freudian]

Avs are very easy to play against. Have numbers back through the neutral zone and don't play passive around the defensive blue line and you have pretty much neutered them. Not enough skill, speed and compete to create anything.

I don't think a single player was particularly good today. Small flashes from Skille and MacKinnon but they were just going through the motion.

Stupid penalties from Mitchell and Landeskog. Bad PP that can only move the puck around with no intentions of getting the puck or players to the net. Avs version of boxing out players in the crease is just kinda being there, as if they have some sort of repulsion aura.

Sorry that was an auto correct mistake. I edited my post to fix it

All right buddy. I agree, there comes a point where the players have to deliver.

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

Sounded like Roy will keep Soderberg with Landy and Duchene. He also called both Z and Gormley projects.

 

[AslanRH]

By the time game 41 hits, all Avs will be projects

That's code for "Guenin and Stuart will be in next game"

 

[Avs44]

Is this coming from the man who labelled Nick Holden as part of the core?

 

[The Shermanator]

More losses to the ****** east this year that in the history of the franchise!

Can't really disagree
EDIT: About zads and gormley needing to be brought along slowly

 

[Avs_19]

Whether he's at center or wing, Soderberg needs to play with good offensive players. He's awful on faceoffs so having another center on his line wouldn't be a bad idea.

I'm watching the Rampage right now, its good to see the direct contrast. i see the difference in urgency now. They play SO aggressive you wouldn't think its he same org.

An idea: call up the entire Rampage and demote the Avs.

the question is, how do the Avs get that to translate to the NHL? Time? I'm willing to be patient so long as the results are there

 

[SuperJoe]

Sad, sad team to watch, get all excited for a new season, eliminated by game 10, what's our pace 75 points? Nevermind the problems, is there any other bright spot other than Mack? No worries the puck drops for next season in 337 days, **** that team, since 09 good god how long does it take to build a semi decent team.

They are also confident after having a good start, that could make a difference too. But it does make me feel better to see them play well.

 

[shadow1]

An uninspired effort, but capitalizing on the power play could have been the difference between 2 points and 0. I'd argue the Avs could easily have 4 more points in the standings if not for the lifeless unit.

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

I went on a Twitter rant about it, but more forwards on the Avs need to hold onto the puck and look to make a play like Soderberg. His teammates aren't used to it yet, and it's obviously something he was taught that the rest of this team wasn't. He looks calm with the puck. Everyone else is so jittery. Look to make a play, don't jam it up the boards.
