Avs have looked tired all year in Denver for whatever reason and energized on the road.
But during the last long road trip the concensus here was that they were playing like garbage because it was a long road trip and they were tired?
 
Probably should put to rest the speculation of a mitts injury. He’s not contributing anything positive and has been demoted to fourth line duties. He’d have been left out to recover as he’s bringing nothing at that point, if he were injured.

Not only that but its that Bednar is calling guys out. And even further to that, he's taking Mikko off his preferred position (RW) and putting him at 2C almost as if Mittelstadt is the primary person hes calling out.

But simultaneously, he could be putting Mikko at C suggesting he doesnt care if Mikko likes it or not because he will likely be gone soon.

Could be wrong about this but there seems to be a lot going on at the same time. Could be simply trying to light a fire under Mitts though.
 
I'm gonna guess that after how they have played lately, and Bedsy calling them out, you'll probably see a motivated team tonight.

Saturday vs Dallas is a different story. I fully expect them to get waxed in that one.
 
I'm fully confident the Avs will be on a mission against Edmonton. Anyone that has any decency after that shit effort against NYR (even if it was a win) will show up like it's the f***ing playoffs. Our guys don't shit the bed twice in a row. They also absolutely owe it to Blackwood to be on their a-game defensively.

So Malinski gets a game in the press box for being awful lately.

Pretty sure he sealed his fate when he tried to out-skate Panarin around our net in the 2nd period, got caught, then tried to dangle the oncoming Rangers forward and had it stripped for a mini-breakaway.

Bednar must have wanted to punt him to the AHL right then and there.
 
Why not just promote Pärssinen to the 2nd line?

Maybe CMac has told Mikko that if he wants to get paid he needs to play C in the future lol...
 
This is the way.

You want $13M a year? Prove you can carry your own line and hey if you can do it at Center, even better!


If Landy returned, we'd still have plenty of wingers to make a damn good Top 9. Ship Mittelstadt out to make the space for Landy and you'd have:


Drouin - Mack - Nuke
Lehky - Mikko - Landy
LOC - Colton - Wood I guess :(
Kelly - Parsnip - Kivi
 
Don't like his answer about the PP. Makes it seem like he/they don't really care if it's good or not. And they aren't gonna change anything with it because, according to his answer, everything ebbs and flows throughout the season, and eventually it'll just start working again.
