Duchene is only working his upper body

Dang, is that Talbot on the right? He fits in perfectly. Looks like he has dueling banjos in his head right there.

Kinda looks like him, but I don't think it is. He wouldn't have been part of the team when this picture was taken, I imagine. What are the chances then?

Definitely looks like him though.

Depending on what you are fishing for, you could absolutely use your legs.

 

[RockLobster]

I wish we would have an update on Duchene

Just want to know if he's doing any type of leg/knee rehab or physical therapy or anything.

 

[ASmileyFace]

Hey if I go to game 2 wearing a bear costume and a #1 Bearlamov jersey, would that still be a jersey foul?

If you do this I will find you and buy you a beer. This is fantastic.

 

[tigervixxxen]

That's definitely Duchene. Where is that pic from? I don't think it's recent. Isn't Talbot's hair short now?

When did matty start hanging out with Andrea Pirlo? And since when does Pirlo leave his wineries over the summer for any reason?

Did you mean "That's definitely Talbot"? Because we know it's Duchene

edit: It seems it is Talbot, from a pro summit camp with Max as basically the camp leader haha (september 2012)

I wonder if that went into getting Max too, seems he was a mentor to Lando and Matt

Good for that middle schooler that's squatting in front of Talbot to spend some time with NHL players.

2 years later he's still a middle schooler, something is wrong

+10 points for you

 

[AvsRobin]

Squeeze Elliott in as forward. Can't watch that bottom six...

 

[Avs71]

You know Duchene is in great shape when he can wear flips flops and everyone else has to wear runners.

So, I dont want to get ahead of myself but there is a scenario in which I could see the Avs making it to the Cup Finals. It is highly unlikely though.

1st Round
Avs beat Minny, Chicago beats STL, Dallas beats Ducks, LA beats SJ

2nd Round
Avs beat Chicago, Dallas beats LA

3rd Round
Avs beat Dallas

Highly unlikely but if everything fell correctly and we were able to take care of Chicago...it could happen lol.

Look at me daydreaming haha

Why so much faith in Dallas?

 

[Avs For Life]

Why so much faith in Dallas?

Not faith, just the only scenario in which I really think we would make it to the finals.

I mean the Stars do have that Goalie that can steal you a series but I think their lack of depth will be their downfall. Shutdown Seguin and Benn (which is harder than it sounds) and you can beat Dallas unless Lehtonen stands on his head.

It was just something I was thinking about. I dont think this ACTUALLY happens and the furthest I really see us going might be conference finals depending on who comes out of STL and Chicago and where injuries are at.

Obviously we just need to focus on the series at hand but my mind was wondering

Landeskog-Stastny-McGinn
O'Reilly-MacKinnon-Parenteau
McLeod-Cliche-Talbot
Bordeleau-Malone-Carey

I would have preferred McGinn with MacKinnon and O'Reilly because he's a big guy who will go to the net but I still like the new lines. Like I said yesterday, our offense will be better if O'Reilly has MacKinnon on his line. If Roy feels like they need a spark later on in the game, he can put MacKinnon back with Landeskog and Stastny like he has done in the past.

That bottom six is pretty ugly though. Just need them to be physical and not get scored on.

Yes lol, by bad. Typing too fast on my phone.

Talbot has the same agent as Duchene, MacKinnon, Crosby. Who else is on the list? EJ.

I'd prefer to switch Bordy with Cliche and have Talbot center that line.

Bordeleau has been playing pretty well with his increased minutes during this last stretch. Why not see if he can carry that level of play over into the first round?

We need Mitchell healthy soooo badly. Cliche on the 3rd line in the playoffs will be a disaster.

I certainly hope this ends up being the case.
