Pre-Game Talk: Week of Afternoon Delights (Mon vs. MIN, Wed vs. WPG, Sat @ BOS, Sun @ NYR)

[Bill Peckerskull]

I figured it was cheaper for Stan to force the guys to drive themselves and reimburse them for mileage. Problem makes 'em carpool too save a little bit more as well.

They take the bus

Piano Man is a folk song. Thanks to never ending information you can get from google

It’s a holiday for the Americans.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

If I don’t get the day off it’s not a holiday, dems the breaks

We didn't practice today, although we had a pathetic effort in an afternoon game yesterday.

You can't make this shit up, I'd love to hear why we didn't practice.

That's 3 optional practices + 1 soft, 40 minute practice in the past 10 days.

Watch us somehow come out flat with no legs again tomorrow against Winnipeg.

At this point I would be more shocked if we don't come out flat. Almost like they are in some sort of rut for bothering to give effort. Not sure why since they have goaltending now.

does nuke play tomorrow?

Won’t know until tomorrow.

The Avs sent down Innala and Ivan after yesterday’s game. Some assume Nuke takes the spot of one of them, but we have also been doing lots of paper transactions to save $$$.

We should know if one or both of them get recalled and/or practice tomorrow. Or we see Nuke do the full practice and skate on one of the lines.

The team is very tired, they need some rest.

 

[expatriatedtexan]

I can get the big 5 getting treated with baby gloves and given the "option" to skip a lot of practices. But there should be no such thing as optional for damn near everyone else.

 

[forsbergavs32]

These optional practices and light practices are no good IMO. With the way this team is playing, especially on the PP, these guys need to be working on things a lot. Only exceptions right now for me are Makar and Manson as they’re both nursing injuries.

They need to call Val’s connection
