Pre-Game Talk: This week on the Avs vs.NSH(Monday 7:00PM) vs.LA(Wednesday 8:00PM) vs.WSH(Friday 7:00PM) Return of the Coke king of Colorado.

[sethro109]

Nashville should be interesting. They pummeled us last time. Hopefully this time we're ready to go.

LA is a late start despite being here. I hate these late games . LA has been decent this year. I can never get a good read on this team.

Washington has Ovi streaking twords the all time goals record. This is also when our hooker lovein, gun toting, coke sniffing Russian machine comes back.

Drouin and Wood back against LAK(just my opinion). Nuke back against Washington.

Nashville will f*** us up again, then we will beat the Kings and Caps.

I only know that water runs down hill.


Everything else is voodoo

I disagree. I think we will curb stomp the perdators and the kings will be tougher than we think...somehow they are 1st in the Pacific right now

 

[Cypher]

We are two games away from finally having an NHL roster and legit top6.

Drouin - Mack - Nuke
Lehky - Mitts - Moose
Wood - Ivan - LOC
Kivi - Kelly - Kova

Toews - Makar
G - Manson
Ludvig - Malinski

Annunen
Georgiev

Scratches: de Hann, Kylington, Kahkoken

And when RosCo comes back around December 4th, Avs need to make a decision which goalie gets sent down, and which forward gets scratched.

Cap would be around 81m, and when RosCo comes back, 84m, so 4m wiggle room to do stuff, assuming Landy is done.

 

[Balthazar]

Annunen
Georgiev

They are certainly not in that order in Bednar's mind.

Jared must be so excited with Georgiev after his last 2 games...I expect him to start a lot of games in the near future.

 

[forsbergavs32]

Do we know who’s starting tonight?

 

[The Merchant]

Georgie had his first and only good performance of the year the other night, so that means he's back as the #1 apparently

Saros it is for my team then

4 GA and an .871 save percentage is a good start?

We are so finished.

 

[Richard Doll]

So unfortunate that Colton is hurt after that hot start. Hopefully he can regain some when he comes back.

We won’t see him until after Christmas, IMO.

6-8 weeks in Avs land means 10-12 weeks.

Plus with Nuke and Drouin back I'm guessing he'll be back to 3C so who knows if he can perform like that still not being on wing

Was talking about the Jets game, but yeah. The point remains

 

[Cypher]

If the Avs can mustar a win vs LA on Wednesday, they'd be above .500 and in a playoff spot. Given the roster we've iced the first 17 games, I'd say that's a big win.

And on Friday
- Nuke, Drouin, Wood in
- Tynan, Wagner, and Prishchepov out

Probably a paper transaction but hopefully that means we see Drouin and Wood in regular practice jerseys tomorrow

And many were predicting the end of the world for this team. Its like they never noticed just how f***ing good the Avs top players are.

We got so god damned lucky there lol.

 

[Pokecheque]

So, if Stienburg got sent down before his suspension, does that mean he still has to serve it, or is it done?

Side note, T.J. Tynan may yet be an effective grinder but someone needs to sit that guy down and tell him what he needs to do at the NHL level, it's clear he wants to do the same stuff he does as an AHL star scorer, but it just doesn't happen. He's got NHL speed for sure, but then I see him get the puck and force a long pass upon entering the zone and it gets intercepted and sent the other way in a hurry.

I'm not saying they should keep him up but I haven't hated him on the roster so far.

Yeah when he comes back up he has to serve it

 

[The Moops]

Yeah when he comes back up he has to serve it

What if he gets traded or something before he gets recalled? Does he have to serve his suspension on the new team?

 

[Avs44]

Yeah when he comes back up he has to serve it

Stienburg is gonna really stick it to the NHL by making sure he never gets called back up Didn't foresee that method of escaping your wheel of justice, did you Bettman?

 

[hockeyfish]

What if he spends the next 12 years in the minors and finally gets called up in 2036? Would anyone remember?
