I appreciate he's new, and has never really been very good, but Rodrigues is hopeless. He's also far too ugly for our team of dreamboats.

We always get stupid scheduling and the org doesn't mind or has no bargaining power, or we travel so much that it can't be better.

I've had them as the 2nd best team in the conference. It kinda baffles me how much stock some people are putting on that series against Edmonton where Markstrom shit his pants. Tampa got swept by Columbus, the next year they won the cup. Not saying the Flames are going to win a cup, but I still have them as the superior team to Edmonton.
My biggest concern is he looks just as bad as he did in postseason last year.
He's simply not doing much out there offensively. And what's more concerning is he has no idea how to do anything in defensive end. That's where it hurts the team more. He was directly responsible for 2 goals against last night.
He's not a lost cause or anything and I think he still has a chance to develop to what we want/need him to be. But he's got to start showing more, quickly.

Rodriguez looks like he has some tools we can use on this team. At the moment he looks lost out there hopefully he can get up to speed quick.

The only thing I took from this is that Rodrigues looks like a tool
Last night, Toronto, Colorado, Washington, Chicago and Seattle were playing the 2nd night of back to backs. Tonight the Rangers will be on the 2nd night. Tomorrow, Detroit, Tampa, Columbus, Montreal, and San Jose will be on the 2nd night of back to backs. That's 12 teams in the first week. I think 8 or 9 will be having a 3 games in 4 night stretch. A lot of teams are dealing with this. Early in the season, it shouldn't matter though.
Most of them played against teams also on the 2nd night of a back to back though. Not the same playing a rested team.
This early in the season, rest shouldn't matter as much.
That said, most actually didn't play teams on a 2nd night. Only Toronto and Washington didn't face a rested team because they played each other. Colorado, Chicago, and Seattle all faced 'rested' teams. Rangers will face a rested team. For Saturday, all of them will be facing rested teams.

Not Great, Bob!
Wait, we played back to back on week nights, and now we don't play at all, all weekend?
OH COOL.
OH COOL.

You're basically going from 0-100. Barely playing at all in the preseason and not travelling and then right into a back to back with travel. They clearly didn't have their legs with no clearer evidence of that being when Makar could barely catch up to Lucic(!) as play went the other way.
There are no games on Sunday with football and potential MLB playoff games. So.. the alternative would have been back to back to back.

Well tonight is off, but yeah.There are no games on Sunday with football and potential MLB playoff games. So.. the alternative would have been back to back to back.
At least there's an early BUF-FLA game tomorrow.
Touche, and then we could have complained about 3 in 4 nights then!Well tonight is off, but yeah.

I'd like to see Meyers given more ice time. I thought he looked good in both games, and he's clearly built for this team with his speed and tenacity. He also makes smart plays with the puck.
Saddling him with MacDermid ruins the line. MacDermid should only be used as a #7/8 defensemen, not up front. I'd sooner play MacDonald on the 4th line with Meyers and Sedlak.

Helllll no Macdermid should be used primarily at FWD. He hurts the team significantly less there than on the backend.

My point goes beyond this week/season and not an excuse for last night "performance". Our scheduling is always quirky.

The irony is that this is the same population base that likes to take pride in having the most classy fans in baseball.

I'm not worried about the 2C position. They just have to use the J and D initials on Toews jerseys
The whole NHL’s scheduling is that way. Just a matter of trying to fit 82 games in multipurpose arenas with other sports and conferences while getting ratings and attendance. It isn’t an Avs thing, is just how the league has to operate.
