GDT: Game #55: Avalanche @ Oilers - 7 PM - SNW

[LeonDraisaitl29]

Wideman really offers nothing as an "analyst"

 

[McTedi]

Have them both.

I think Nurse - Dobson would be money.

Give Nurse the first actual top 4 D man in his career to play with.

Sure but cap??

 

[Old Boys Club]

If the first PP unit is playing this poorly, you have to consider switching things up, at least temporarily.

NO more 1:30+ shifts for the life-support stack unit. Get Drai away from Bouchard, RNH, and McDavid.

Weird game tonight. Oilers look so out of sync, but it's still tied 4 - 4 due to the Ave's questionable depth and mediocre goaltending.

I was shocked when they showed the graphic that Mcdavid has 18 points in the last 9 games, I don't think I've ever seen him play worse during this last while outside of the start of last year when he was blatantly injured. Hell, this might be the first time I've seen a 4 on 4 start without both Drai and Mcdavid lined up together out there in a decade.

Glad Pickard came into the game though. He looks so much better than Skinner.

Yet Knob will never give him more starts. Even to bide time for a potential upgrade.

 

[Mikey71]

Don't have time to look to see why not, so who says no to a Bouchard for Dobson trade?

 

[McTedi]

So you’re saying players don’t need to play hard every game? You lost me somewhere along the line.

McD will get it going, he always does. I find it amusing he still has doubters.

I thought it was 13.

Its unfathomable that they don't switch ANYTHING up. Nothing. Pure lazy coaching

 

[Sra1974]

Mcdavid should absolutely not be playing in the 4 nations. This guy needs rest and a break - very, very badly.

I would personally take better D with less offense, but Bouchard was big playoff time. A move like that would be "Avs like"

 

[Zerotonine]

See knob finally woke up and pulled stu for once

Id be curious about revisiting some of the swaps they played with previously. Skinner for RNH and Ekholm for Bouchard

 

[LeonDraisaitl29]

That Drai goal was made sweeter by the fact that he intercepted Mackinnon's pass to break up the play to start the rush, then dangled him to get the goal. The real MVP.

That's a no from me.

He has to win that Gold Me.....Oh nevermind

 

[Oldoil]

Stauffer lol

its not doubting, its knowing he can do better, because hes proven he can.

 

[McTedi]

He really wants to play for Canada, nothing but respect for that.

I’m no f***ing doubter, I responded to a post implying McD is saving it for the playoffs when you butt in.

 

[Canovin]

Bouchard for Dobson and Romanov would be Rantanen and Necas

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Sure but cap??

Thats true, would depend what dobson is wanting, but id be willing to trade lots for him and then just bridge him to UFA, essentially getting a 2.5 year rental.

 

[McTonyBrar]

Bob Stauffer on Stuart Skinner - “You need better goaltending than that”.

Needed the other wideman that was on the Lames. He could bash the refs all intermission.

 

[Pip]

It’s a tragedy that he doesn’t have multiple Olympic gold medals.
