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

Promised my gf I'd go down on her every time the Avs score a PP goal.....now she's threatening to break up with me :/

The way Mittlestadt is playing is no different then Johanson last year. Comically sad at this point. Soft perimeter playmaker who is not engaging at all. At least Johanson was half decent at faceoffs. Cmac is in awful spot, I really hope he find a way to cut loose before it's too late.

Malinski’s big return game.

You showed ‘em, kid.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Down goes Ivan again, back up is C-Wags.

Wagner goes on the road trip. Likely 4RW with Innala and Parssinen.

 

[AllAboutAvs]

He is staying back so he can pack his bags to move to Chicago.

 

[Ceremony]

The right formula for these AHL callups is in there somewhere, just need to blend them enough to find it.

How the f*** does Innala keeps staying in the lineup? I can't think of a more useless player. Polin and Ivan are better by a fair margin. I hate how Bednar always finds the most useless players to make his boys.

Bednar said after the game that he like how he played.

I'd rather Ivan and Polin go back to the Eagles and actually play, than stay with the Avs and get 4 - 6 meaningless minutes a night. Let Wags and Innala have those. Wood is likely gonna be activated in the next week as well.

Right no cue

Malinski is making weak plays all over the ice, weak keep ins, easy to forecheck, shot is not impressive, passing mediocre, weak net front coverage, puck fumbles in the D zone, etc.

That Miles Wood contract is going to age like milk.

Edit: That Miles Wood contract is already spoiled milk at this point.

 

[dahrougem2]

Career????

Get this guy on LTIR starting next season. Already had hip surgery now this?

 

[the_fan]

It’s not like Wood is gonna come back and fix the issues this team has. This roster needs a real shake up. Wood’s not the answer

 

[Pokecheque]

They basically went .500 on the homestand and got three out of a possible six points against the three teams ahead of them in the standings these last three games. The definition of average.

 

[Ceremony]

At least we won't need to worry about trading Wood to get out of that contract. I don't think he'll play beyond 25/26.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Yeah, Wood probably has a season or two left before it’s time to float away to Robidas Island.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Ah, no time for PP work today. All is well.

The Wood contract was a disaster from day 1. I… just don’t get it from CMacs POV.

Bro is just embodying the "everything is fine" meme at this point

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Just audio today, for some reason

Honestly this season feels like one of those shitty seasons where the team is just stuck in the mud. We’re not missing the playoffs, but at the same time we’re probably not even getting passed the 1st round. Even last year there was little bit more hope until Val left the team. Between the injuries and the key pieces missing or not producing (looking at you Mitts) not sure where this team goes from here.

This is probably gonna be the most challenging trade deadline for CMac. Still the Landy uncertainty, and we need at least 3 key pieces if not 4 to compete in the playoffs. Good luck CMac. We’ll see what you really got
