GDT: Game #51 Avs @ Sharks May the Fifth & Cinco de Mayo 7:30 MT

[The Kingslayer]

I’ve got a feeling Bednar is going to love himself some Newhook

Kadri is too slow for him. I dont know why I keep thinking this but for some reason I think Newhook with Jost and Bura might work.

 

[Avsboy]

Fairly even period. Top line didn't look dominant, Newhook looked good

 

[Mackinnonen]

why did Mcnab say this is the avs healthy D group in the playoffs when we're missing Girard EJ and Byram?

 

[5280]

I forgot how Newhook gallops around the ice kind of like Duchene.

 

[MoreLikeTurdCrapley]

Yes but follow through is not a penalty. Mack should know that.

True. But to give him an embellishment penalty is ridiculous since he did get hit in the face with a stick.

 

[The Kingslayer]

He looks very in place. Battling in front of the net, making smart plays, winning faceoffs, picking off cross ice passes, etc, etc. I hope he stays.

Taking d zone draws and winning them. He keeps that up hes going to take Comphers "spot" on the PK. Compher the only man to never win a faceoff to start a pk

 

[Ararana]

Wild tie it. 1-1 halfway through the third.

 

[drhiii]

Newhook does not look out of place out there.

99.99999%

Because he’s talking about forwards.

 

[Avsfan1921]

True. But to give him an embellishment penalty is ridiculous since he did get hit in the face with a stick.

Was he tagged for embellishment though? I’d guess he said something and got nailed for it.

 

[Avsboy]

Kadri is too slow for him. I dont know why I keep thinking this but for some reason I think Newhook with Jost and Bura might work.

Newhook as a rookie needs to be with someone who can handle the puck and move around the offensive zone. He'd do well with Rantanen, but since that's not an option I think Soderberg and Bura are other options.

 

[MoreLikeTurdCrapley]

Nothing's worse than "Timmons".

I’ve sadly made that mistake based on reading it spelled that way on some source that should have known better. I will not make that mistake again.

 

[Avs_19]

True. But to give him an embellishment penalty is ridiculous since he did get hit in the face with a stick.

He didn't get an embellishment penalty. He got one for mouthing off and probably cursing at the refs.

 

[The Kingslayer]

If the playoffs started today he said. If the playoffs started today this would be the Avs D which is accurate. Fortunately for the Avs the playoffs do not start today

Please compare him to someone, anyone else.

 

[Metallo]

True. But to give him an embellishment penalty is ridiculous since he did get hit in the face with a stick.

It was unsportmanlike for nasty words.

 

[Avsfan1921]

Because he’s talking about forwards.

Nah, he specifically said group of dmen

 

[The Kingslayer]

Newhook as a rookie needs to be with someone who can handle the puck and move around the offensive zone. He'd do well with Rantanen, but since that's not an option I think Soderberg and Bura are other options.

Yah thats why I keep going back to Jost thinking Jost can do just that. Jost does that better than Kadri. Kadri is a one and done type of guy.

 

[MoreLikeTurdCrapley]

He didn't get an embellishment penalty. He got one for mouthing off and probably cursing at the refs.

I thought he got an unsportsmanlike penalty based on embellishment. If it was due to mouthing off then I stand corrected.

 

[AvsFan29]

Newhook isn’t leaving this team

 

[The Kingslayer]

He didn't get an embellishment penalty. He got one for mouthing off and probably cursing at the refs.

That mouth of his. I dont normally see the stars get dinged for that. Connor mouths off every shift.

 

[Metallo]

Nothing's worse than "Timmons".

I don’t know why this mistake keeps propagating.

 

[LOFIN]

Maybe not worst... too 5 though. Agreed on newhook haha.

Edit: Not for homerism, just broadcasting

McNab is one of the best colour guys there is. Moser isn't bad either. For all we get called for Altitude being homers, these 2 guys actually give credit to opponents. Listen to NESN. They are actual homers. f***ing Jack Edvards especially.

 

[Avsboy]

Yah thats why I keep going back to Jost thinking Jost can do just that. Jost does that better than Kadri. Kadri is a one and done type of guy.

But Jost on wing...would get crushed.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Nathan and Mikko are the only true playmaking forwards on this team and they play together.
