Pre-Game Talk: Week of Home with our Heads in our Asses (Wed vs. NJD, Fri vs. MIN)

[The Kingslayer]

I agree. I think we win, especially after the Devils game. Good momentum for once.

dont count on it. This team there is no such thing as momentum and everytime they are on the cusp of passing a team in the standings they shit the bed. 4-2 Minny tmmrw.

I hope he wakes up playing with Val and Drouin.

Second question... when he talks about "partly because of our location"... what is he talking about? Is he literally calling out the fact that practice facility is so damn far away it's just not convienent?

I have no idea what a "double optional" practice is (two optional practices in a row? only come if you have a weird hockey superstition about needing to practice on a certain day?), but I think I can explain the travel. Western Conference teams travel way more than Eastern teams and the Avs probably more than most. Teams usually don't practice if they get home or to the hotel after 1 or 2 am or something like that.

I remember in a previous season when the Avs had a long homestand that was relatively sparse with games That Bednar said it's good to finally have this window where we can have serious practices that we can work on targeted things.

Interesting how Necas says he’s never played on a team at any level where you can have optional practices.

Welcome to the Bednar show, Marty.

If you don’t want to practice; don’t practice. Nobody cares!

Happy Birthday, Bedsy.
