GDT: Game 44: Avs @ Sharks | Saturday, January 21st, 8:30pm MT | Just Another Day

[The Kingslayer]

Great play by Martin but a who cares play by Duchene

 

[tigervixxxen]

Would have been nice to get Martin an assist there

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Landeskog once again came to play. Matt Duchene has not.

 

[Hennessy]

Rare to see Duchene just flub it like that.

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

Zadorov is absolutely brain dead out there tonight

What did he do there that was so braindead? He's playing his off side so I think he's being a bit safe in the offensive zone.

Duchene with no awareness of the time at the end there.

 

[the_fan]

That was a trade me move by Duchene

 

[Avsblitzkrieg]

Duchene e don't care any longer. I guess it's time. Seems as though the relationship is broke... End hot take

 

[Sea Eagles]

Commmme ooonnnnn Duuuucheeeeene

 

[The Kingslayer]

Zadorov is absolutely brain dead out there tonight

I really want him to stop looking so casual with the puck. Nearly got him in trouble a few times already.

 

[bohlmeister]

Dutch. What are you doing?

 

[avsfan09]

I mostly just watch so I can see Zadorov, Rantanen and Mackinnon mature.

 

[sethro109]

Oh Dutchy . Was not his best peroid.

 

[JoemAvs]

Zadorov is absolutely brain dead out there tonight

Oh well. He is young and a major project right now.

The sad thing is that he is de facto our #1 D tonight and he probably knows it.


I agree that his brain probably will always hold him back from turning into a true top pairing guy but he has plenty of time to prove us wrong in that regard.


Give him time.

 

[Alex Jones]

I meant just in general that period. Several bad reads and didn't think he made some good decisions with the puck.

 

[McMetal]

How does Martin look?

Just made a great pass up ice to put Duchene into a one on one. Dutchy over stickhandled, but it was a really heads up play. Overall, he looks sharp. The goal wasn't on him, Ward had a tap-in from a foot away. The dangerous shots sent his way he's been strong on.

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

Overall it was a pretty solid period against a good team. No complaints if they play like that.

 

[Gigantor The Goalie]

How does Martin look?

Active. That's the first word that comes to mind when watching him right now. He is just motoring around the crease. Right now he's just focused on fighting through screens and making the save. Not too focused on controlling the shots but with this team it's important just to make the save. He's also aggressive. More aggressive then Pickard and maybe a little more than Varlamov. Martin is also the 2nd quickest goalie in the organization. He's quicker than Pickard but a notch below Varlamov which makes sense because Varly's top end speed in the crease is ridiculous.

Nice. Starting to watch this game just to watch him. I'm not comfortable with Pickard going forward so it's nice to have a good backup plan. Too many holes in Pickard's game.

I like how he's fast but doesn't seem to put a lot of strain on his body while doing so. I watch Varly and am not surprised at how often he's hurt. His style just isn't sustainable.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Beauchemin thinks Jamie Benn is the best hockey player in the world. Beauchemin's poor decision making isn't just on the ice apparently. No respect to Jamie Benn who is one of the greatest no doubt. But Sidney Crosby is still alive and well. Even if you wanna go with McDavid I'd be willing to listen to your opinion but Jamie Benn? Nah.

 

[RockLobster]

Dutch. What are you doing?

The guy wants out...

 

[cgf]

The guy wants out...

He heard about Hanifin being healthy scratched, he knows that he's getting traded during the game.

 

[the_fan]

From what i see, only 4 players or so are actually trying.

MacKinnon
Rantanen
Martin
Nieto

and maybe Goloubef, although it's hard to tell because he just genuinely sucks, but he might be trying...who knows. The rest just look like don't give a ****.

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

Did Rycroft need a night off to get away from it all?

 

[Sea Eagles]

The guy wants out...

He will always have Avalanche blood RL. Seems to me he loves this club. We just need to get him some quality around him, to support his skill.

 

[tigervixxxen]

Are we keeping Nieto forever?
