Pre-Game Talk: Week of Regular Season End (Tue vs. VGK, Thu vs. VAN, Sat @ LAK, Sun @ ANA)

[Balthazar]

Yeah but YOU bolded the McGahey part???? I'm well aware of who TMV is lmfao

Yes because he redirected us to McGahey for an answer.

Gotcha so you're just insulting him to his face. Understood

I'm mad at the piss poor team coverage in general but that's certainly not on him. Media these days don't have the money to send reporters on the road, I get it. However, I'd like them to be a little more curious or at least show us that they are actively trying to find answers. It's part of the job.

I like Evan and I'm glad he posts here.

Dude, nobody has a problem with the information provided on Necas, Drouin, and Manson.

We now Manson is skating and should be good for the playoffs.

We know Necas is sore, day-to-day and not a risk of a long term absence.

We know Drouin has a lower body injury, unrelated to his previous one, is day-to-day and not a risk of a long term absence.

The Avs have shared that for those 3 and nobody has any issue with that.

This is literally all about the complete silence on Girard and pretending as if he doesn’t even exist anymore.

I understand the Girard situation, but I’m not sure why you guys keep brining it up when I wasn’t talking about Girard. I was talking about injured players and teams keeping it quiet before the playoffs as to who’s in and who’s out.

As far as Girard, he had personal issues before and was in PAP. I hope it’s nothing serious and he’s gonna be ok

 

[dahrougem2]

Girard situation is terrifying because he was open about his alcohol problems and now has vanished like his last name is Nichushkin, and nobody knows or is willing to speak about him.

 

[the_fan]

Obviously the most important is the personal side of things. Wishing Girard all the best with whatever he’s dealing with, but my god, are the Avs cursed or what? Val situation last couple of years, and now that this team looks to be ready to contend for the cup again, something else happens which may derail the season.

I know we won in 22 without Giard, but this year we don’t have the same deep blueline like it was in 22. We do need Girard and healthy Manson to make a deep run

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

I understand that you didn't travel with the team and are relying on TV coverage like the rest of us. However, it shouldn't fall on the fans to dig for information and investigate what's happening. Isn't it the reporter's job to uncover and share those details? Surely their role extends beyond simply describing what’s shown on TV.

No one is giving information, especially at this time of the year. You’re assuming no one has tried, which is a false assumption.

I did assume that. If you mentioned anywhere publicly that you tried to learn more about the Girard situation, and couldn't get any answer from the team, then I apologize.

 

[the_fan]

I guess the good thing is, Girard hasn’t joined the program so far. Hopefully it’s nothing too serious and he just needed some time off

How would you know this?

 

[the_fan]

How would you know this?

It would come out if he joined the PAP. Always does, but I guess they could still keep it a secret

 

[Balthazar]

It would come out eventually but it's not instant. Anyway, it's all speculation right now, for all we know he could be injured and the team "forgot" to mention it.

Which brings it back to what I was saying. At this time of the year right before the playoffs, everything is a secret for every team that’s in the playoffs

 

[the_fan]

I do remember there were reports of Girard dealing with LBI. So maybe it is an injury after all

He did also have low numbers on his last game. I hope it's a minor injury and not a relapse or something else.

Officially he isn't injured, that's all we know.

 

[the_fan]

Last reports we had of Girard is that he was out with injury so..

 

[a mangy Meowth]

Officially he isn't injured, that's all we know.

Maybe that's not intentional and they're just that incompetent?

 

[the_fan]

G is injured and likely nothing serious. Everyone just calm down..

Including me. I went to dark place again, talking about season being over and shit. Why do we always overreact to stuff on here?

I don’t know maybe avs fans should drink more and avs players should drink less.

 

[the_fan]

I don’t know maybe avs fans should drink more and avs players should drink less.

I think Avs players should just get injured less. Then we wouldn’t have to go through all this

 

[lionsDen]

I don’t know maybe avs fans should drink more and avs players should drink less.

I don’t drink at all. Intend on continuing that. Well if g is injured maybe we’ll hear something Tuesday?

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Well less drinking might help with the nose injuries

I don’t drink at all. Intend on continuing that. Well if g is injured maybe we’ll hear something Tuesday?

And they let you be a hockey fan?

 

[Metallo]

No one is giving information, especially at this time of the year. You’re assuming no one has tried, which is a false assumption.

Reporting that you asked a question and were denied an answer is still reporting.

You will get crumbs and you will like it.
