Pre-Game Talk: Week of No More Tears for Mikko (Tue @ NYI, Fri vs STL, Sun vs PHI)

It's early, but I get the feeling that CMac will soon be arrested for felony robbery. Drury is a great match. I'm hoping that we can round his number 18 up and see a new version of the Roaring 20s line. That allows the LOC line to go down for fourth line ( I really think more like 3a and 3b)

Mack and Necas could be a spectacle with their speed. I still think the best scenario is Necas as the 2C, moving Mitts to wing. I really, really think this could be an excellent solution, and Mitts could thrive in such a situation. Imagine Mitts finding Necas streaking in, or Nuke ready to pick up a pass then crash the net.

These two guys just seem to fit in, and from Day 1. By the return after 4 nations - hopefully with a healthy Nuke- this Avs team could go on a serious tear

I feel bad for Drury, getting stuck with the struggling donkeys. I also feel bad for Parsnip, been playing well and gets rewarded by being stuck with the other 2 struggling forwards.

Media availability for Bednar, Necas, and Drury after today’s Jan 30 practice:

Bednar said that we've never had any right hand shots play the power play in Colorado. Yes, I am second guessing him now.

Manson has a f***ing hard shot. He's been known to have that hard shot since he got here. That's why we love him in the playoffs. He can rip it from the top of the circles. Is there no way to take advantage of that on a power play? Seriously?

Logan O'Connor is one of the hardest working guys on the team. Also one of the few that has shown the ability to actually play UP with Nathan MacKinnon and compete around the net. He's third behind Nuke and Lehky in this. But still, when injuries mount you don't use him.

Malinski is a right shot dman who if he isn't here for offense should not be here at all.

Bednar...The Avs have right hand shots. These might not be everyone's first pick for PP1, but not a single one of them would look out of place on PP2. So here's the deal...if a right handed shot is so damn important, it should be enough to elevate any PP2 RH shot to PP1 when you are lacking a RH shot. You've got them... you just refuse to use them.

It's not really a RH shot you really want. What you really want is your top line and top D pair. This is just an extremly shitty excuse for your miserable power play results. In fact. Get f***ed. You still called it Mikko's side. Get your f***ING HEAD IN THE GAME JARED.

I'm kinda souring on Bednar fast this year. The more closely I listen to what he says, the more I find myself questioning some of what he is saying.

I think he was talking about right hand shot players playing the bumper position. I like LOC but he shouldn't be in the PP1 bumper spot.
