GDT: Preseason Game 3: Avs @ Knights - Revenge of the B Team

[S E P H]

CG was quite good on the radio, some rookie issues here and there, but with time those should eventually (and hopefully) get fixed (like his scoring segment, not a fan of that as of now).

Sounds like Lindholm’s out with an injury.

The longer the better.

 

[McMetal]

McNab with a serious case of Senioritis - that was just awful from beginning to end from him.

That's why Moser rightfully so cuts him off.

It's like he forgot he wasn't on TV and he was talking over our only "view" to the game...

 

[Foppa2118]

The longer the better.

Be careful what you wish for. Lindholm was probably one of the first callups. Now it'll be someone else.

Bednar using Bork/Sodaberg/Long Beach Native Matt Nieto as a line.

I wonder if that's going to be his safe line this year.

Who's ready for Matt 'Top 6 forward' Calvert?! Riding shotgun with Jost

[S E P H]

Wow, talk about throughout your line up goalscoring. Only two forwards didn't register a point; Bourque and Nieto.

I think either Calvert or Compher will be there in place of Bourque. Bourque's a pure 4th liner.

Hope people will stop saying players don't care about winning pre-season games. They care.

 

[The Kingslayer]

So easy to like that hobbit

 

[Ararana]

Remember when Girard was a shy little kid?

Remember when Girard was a shy little kid?

That goal against the Blues during the last game of the season changed him.

Of course they care, nobody said they didn't care about winning. But they also do not put in the same effort level as they do in the playoffs. They're shaking the rust off and trying not to get hurt. Sure, they would rather win than lose, but they're not putting in 100% either.

Dater: "Teammates of Carl Soderberg all say the same thing about him: He’s freaky smart. He can finish crossword puzzles in minutes and he has a “Rain Man”-level mind when it comes to processing numbers."

My goodness, Kaut

Welcome to our little club of believers.

H/t @The Mars Volchenkov on twitter.

Kamenev's first goal in an Avs jersey and they're playing Shinsuke Nakamura's entry music. There's still hope for this world.

Graves. And he's much better than Lindholm.

 

[Raucherhusten]

Victory? VICTORY!!!

Pre-Season or not it's pretty damn impressive to beat the "Unbeatables" on their own turf with an AHL roster.

I'm pumped - let's bring home the Cup now

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Who da heck are Dries and Kosmachuk

Sounds like our former players, DeVries and Konowalchuk

 

[Piestany88]

Girard - EJ

That's the plan.

 

[Hagstrom]

Taking Girard in my hockey pool

 

[JoeSakic13]

I forgot Graves was the guy we picked up in the Bigras trade. If he cracks the lineup, I count that trade as a big W.

 

[Foppa2118]

Sounds like our former players, DeVries and Konowalchuk

We can only wish! Two of the most underrated players in Avalanche history.

I went to bed at 1-0 and had a dream we won 5-1. I guess I can live with 5-3.

As meaningless as preseason is, it would’ve been less than ideal to keep getting blown out. Good win over a solid opponent last night.
