Pre-Game Talk: Week in the Wild West (@SJ, @LA)

[Gigantor The Goalie]

I feel like they just need Will there for the one game. Varly gets that stupid civil bull crap out of the way and then joins the team in LA.

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

They could always put Skille on IR for these next two games, just to rest him.

Isn't he healthy and most likely playing tomorrow?

Just demote Guenin for two days if you need to.

The American legal system does not work that fast. Good thing the next road game after this isn't until Feb 11th.

Probably just "assign" Geunin to the AHL for the day

that probably is the easiest. Hopefully that's what they do.

Can they go over 23 if its an "emergency"? That's what Dan (from the Rampage) is saying.

 

[Avs_19]

Or this....

 

[AvsRobin]

In Calvin We Trust!

 

[CobraAcesS]

Or this....

Logic, versus Mike Chambers...

So Pickard is being sent to the minors right? lol

 

[Avs_19]

In Calvin We Trust!

Always.

 

[tigervixxxen]

Maybe this is why they mysteriously signed Aittokallio...

 

[CobraAcesS]

Wtf... lol I turn on the MIN/AZ game and MIN scores. ****

 

[forsbergavs32]

Just suit up Roy for a couple days, he's been getting back into shape anyway

 

[AvsRobin]

Man, we have a tough schedule ahead, Preds have a much easier match up.

Interesting week in front of us.

 

[flyfysher]

it just seems like a total emergency, that's the part I don't get. I mean if you know that Varly won't be available to travel then you plan for it. Didn't Roy literally say today that Varly would be playing in LA? Its not like Roy in total balls to the wall playoff mode to be left short a goalie when Will is your next option. The kid gets too much crap but it should not be an option at all to see the him in the net. Now SA has to go out and sign another goalie to a PTO and the Avs have to send someone down that they don't want to. It is a total mess.

Perhaps you're right. On the other hand, it could be a matter of Varly's lawyer making a very late decision that it'd be best to have Varly attend the trial since it went forward. There likely were settlement discussions and these always happen at the last minute. The vast majority of cases settle on the courthouse steps. But when they don't, you want to have your client attend the trial. And . . . hockey (and what happens there) is a secondary consideration in that event.

This guy is a ****ing consultant for the NHL, rotfl

He really is clueless. He's one of those stat-watchers who is on the utmost extreme side of it, instead of actually watching games he simply looks at numbers. No wonder he likes Zach Redmond

 

[henchman21]

Not sure if we even want to invite the discussion... but the plaintiff attorney in the Varly case sounds like a Barry Zuckerkorn. Just an awful attorney.

 

[tigervixxxen]

Yeah BSN's tweets are interesting. It sounds like a movie. Or when my friend got divorced and her ex showed up with no attorney and asked to use hers.

If they are embarrassing themselves presenting their own case...

Or like when my wife's attorney advised her she'd get 1200$ a month in alimony by lying on her financial statement, instead of taking my offer of paying all of the debt and her car payment.

Paid 5K for a firm to represent her, and ended up with zero alimony and half the debt as the judge threw out her financial statement and used mine for her since she asked for 250$ a month in personal maintenance (hair & nails) among other ridiculousness lol.

Sometimes lawyers get a little too cocky IMO, the settlement just isn't good enough for them.

I literally laughed out loud at that!

 

[UncleRisto]

Are we sure the plaintiff's attorney isn't just Schmecky & Schmecky from one of those Conan sketches?

 

[tigervixxxen]

How do juries work in a civil trial? Does a guilty verdict have to be unanimous?

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

Nothing too interesting on Roy's radio show yet. We'll see if they ask any good questions. I sent in a few on Grigs and Rantanen.

Oh wait, here come the Broncos questions.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

If the second half of this interview doesn't improve I think it's the worst I've ever heard.

 

[tigervixxxen]

Oh let's ask him about working with Sakic!

Roy even makes stupid questions good.

So they didn't bother to ask any fan questions. Only thing interesting was Roy said either team can use emergency goalie list so that's why Roy is not listed because they don't want another team to use him. But he said if there's nobody on the emergency list available then he'd go in. He said that he was chirping MacK yesterday that he couldn't score on him so MacK went to the other side to get away from Roy and he followed him and made sure he was taking enough shots.
