An Avs fan posted their lineup in the main board GDT yesterday. Their third line consisted of a 25 year old rookie, a 25 year old who has cracked 0.5 points per game in the AHL once (and not by much), and a D-man. They are very injured.
After that terrible experience playing Kylington as a forward I wouldn't be surprised if Bednar goes with Georgiev as a forward
Yeah, agreed, though I didn't analyze it too deeply. That's what the refs felt as well....otherwise they wouldn't have given him 5 min. I was simply stating that the jumping, on it's own, doesn't = suspension.
Right....that's why I mentioned when I see it, makes me look at it more as it's an indicator it might not be clean....so you then have to look how it unfolded. This is impossible to do in real time of course (for a ref).
I doubt if they are winning and not down 3-1 or 4-1 in the fane I can't remember which it was, He would have been so reckless. I don't know if this kid is dirty the hit was dirty and blatantly so, So I chalk this one up to being young and stupid and taking out some frustration.
I doubt it was a nefarious plan to injure their 2022 Stanley Cup opponents, as much as it was bad players playing bad hockey.
I'd argue he'd probably be less of a negative for the team there than in net.After that terrible experience playing Kylington as a forward I wouldn't be surprised if Bednar goes with Georgiev as a forward
What do you mean here....this is something I missed in the game, perhaps it is when I came back and they had done the review. But what do you mean they can't retroactively go back and give a two? They absolutely can. In fact, I've seen where some borderline stuff might be called a major so the ref can review the video. After reviewing the video they have 3 options: 1) keep original call of 5 min, 2) reduce to 2 min or 3) rescind the penalty call.
