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

[RoyIsALegend]

The question...much like with Landeskog... is can they restart it when they get back?

Considering 2 of the 3 in MacKinnon and Lehkonen will be playing the Four Nations, let’s go with unlikely.

Have you tried rubbing raddysh to it?

I'd love to help you with that injury, but I haven't talked to the trainers yet.

Gotta hope Sweden wins it to honor Gabe. That way every one of our players that participated will come away surly and having an extra big chip on their shoulders to win something immediately.



Yeah, I know it doesn't work that way.

I tried raddysh, pospisil, didn’t help

Its getting spicy in the wildcard-race... Not a good night for the AVS....

We better win the next 2 games.....

I like the reality of the Avs being in a playoff race for the first time in a long time. They NEED to start playing with more urgency and effort.

If they grab a playoff spot, chances are they'll have been playing good hockey for the last 2 months of the season. If they don't, they'll have gotten exactly what they deserve.

Either way, it's time these guys have a fire lit under their ass by being in a race down the stretch. GO time.

We have been cruising for two months. I think we have a second gear. Lets see.

Interesting part from Pärssinen's recent Finnish interview (my translation):

"I like Bednar. He's different from Andrew Brunette. Here we look a lot at different statistics and watch videos. We look in-depth at our own and our opponent's play."

He was also happy to be traded from Nashville to here.

f*** the Blues

There was a pretty good arcticle last spring about the analytics that the team uses, and Sean Walker said it was something he had never experienced so far in his career.

Neck-Ash? Haven't heard it pronounced that way before.

 

[CobraAcesS]

They better not do that shit where the first game back after a trip they're flat as f***.

Unacceptable
