Pre-Game Talk: Week of Wins (@PIT, vUTA, vNSH)

[Metallo]

I did NOT need to see this

Colton with a new butt buddy. Refreshing to see.

 

[Balthazar]

on Wedgewood: "he gave us a quality start in almost all of his starts"

Not sure if the "almost" was intentional or not.

 

[LOFIN]

I don't understand this move.

The problem isn't 62 and 13. The problem is MacKinnon and Rantanen standing still hoping for cross ice one timers and Makar's sudden refusal to shoot pucks.

29 is the biggest issue plaguing the PP now.

It's about mixing it up. We all know that moving 29, 96 or 8 to the 2nd unit is the last option.

 

[Nash]

Lehkonen isn’t a threat from the bumper and misses the net, doesn’t get the shot off, or puts it in the goalie’s logo. Absolute no brainer to put Colton back in that spot. He was much better at getting to a spot to free his stick and was a dangerous bumper to start the season. Nuke is a much better option for screens and jamming the net, but CM is a much better option for puck movement. Combining Colton and CM really opens up the flank to down low to bumper shot they haven’t had in their arsenal since Colton went down. I’d argue this PP formation has much better versatility now. We shall see.

I.think they want to get Mitts going as well.

Is Cheeks starting for Preds tonight?

Cheeks with the shutout and 2 goals from O'Money

Bednar said that exact thing earlier today.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Is Cheeks starting for Preds tonight?

No, Saros is the confirmed starter.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

No, Saros is the confirmed starter.

Wtf is this shit? Lol

The only thing I got from those pictures is that Colton is cheating on Wood

Yikes. What's this going to do to the locker room?

LOL, the Avs have always done silly stuff where the players are just having fun, but that’s just taking it to another level. I hope they were drunk

They probably got into Nuke's stash.

 

[sethro109]

I'm going to be at tonight's game, so I can't make a Emergency GDT. Someone else will have to bear the burden.

The Colton/LOC picture is just another level wrong. It’s gonna give me nightmares

The Manson-MittelJost one is the one that gets me. They're pretty much going perbix to perbix contact there.

The only one that’s normal is the Drouin/Mikko one. I mean who amongst us haven’t sat on our friends back legs crossed while they were on all 4s

 

[forsbergavs32]

How am I supposed to know if we lost yet without a GDT?

 

[the_fan]

How am I supposed to know if we lost yet without a GDT?

Good point

 

[missionAvs]

How am I supposed to know if we lost yet without a GDT?

If we don't do have a GDT, does the game even happen and therefore do we even lose?

Enjoy!
