Pre-Game Talk: Week of Whatever (@BUF @CAR @DET @NJ)

@Pierce Hawthorne check out your boys Malinski and Ivan with the speed bursts.

I feel like the Avs got a good one in Ivan. I see a future 3C as he plays more over the coming years.

Fearless, relentless, high IQ, good shot, good skater. Love this player. He has forced Bednar to keep playing him.

 

[Pokecheque]

I just bumped the other thread so I'm just gonna post here...

 

[Anders Cain]

I'm genuinely finding it tough to care

Will I shut the game off 10 minutes in because Georgiev allowed 3 on 8 shots, or will I shut the game off in the 3rd period because we're down 4-1 and this shit is boring as f*** to watch?

This is me.. Frustrating to watch

[Ceremony]

That's where he should be most of the time alright, amirite????

Heading out of the office and meeting up with 2 friends to go down the highway to Buffalo for tonight's game.

5 rows behind the Avs bench. '02 white Scott Parker jersey.

Don't f*** me over, Avs!

So 8-0 Sabres confirmed?

Nice to see Big Sam Malinski on these speed burst lists.

Kid has what, 40 NHL games under his belt. He's being asked to do a lot for a player who is essentially a rookie- cover for bums who don't belong in the NHL, step up in the lineup due to injuries, and not see the ice for PP 2 even though he has, by far, the 2nd best shot from the point on the Avs.

Sooooo... Malinski is running for his life half the time. Noice.

We f***ing need a win. This is very close to a must win game.

Since you are a going to the game, I'm rooting twice as hard for a win tonight!

 

[Tommy Shelby]

What the stats don't show for Malinski's speed bursts is that they're all defensive zone rushes as he scrambles to get back and cover for CDH

 

[JudoKoala]

It's my birthday in two days. Would like at least one nice win between tonight and then from my boys.

 

[SirLoinOfCloth]

Anyone projecting anything less than 4 dubyas this week probably puts milk in their bowl before the cereal. Or wipes before shitting. Weirdos.

Happy early birthday! Hope the boys got a win in store for you.

Thank you so much my friend, appreciate that greatly

 

[expatriatedtexan]

I maintain that nobody...NOBODY, not the NHL, not the NHLPA would bat an eye if the Avs put Georgiev on LTIR. He's absolutely mentally broke and it is f***ing borderline abuse to force him out there.

Hey, don't knock it until you try it

(I'll let you guess which one)

That's gross!!!!!

 

[expatriatedtexan]

Does Parkkila travel with the team?

How active has he been around the team lately?

lol, if I were to tell you then that literally both these things happen but we still win, you’d think I was nuts

 

[SaltySkywalker]

We should start a season long game where each poster gets a point or something for correctly guessing every game for the upcoming week in the pre-game forums.

I have zero desire to run this or keep tally however.

 

[AllAboutAvs]

The title shows 4 games but there are only 3 games this week. This is the truth.

 

[SaltySkywalker]

@Pierce Hawthorne check out your boys Malinski and Ivan with the speed bursts.

Quinn should be higher but otherwise, good list.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Quinn should be higher but otherwise, good list.

This isn’t subjective.

This is a factual ranking based on the number of speed bursts at the identified speed this season.
