Also, the trades the Avs made are proving to be stupid. Soderberg looks old and slow. Nemeth looks lost. Dubnyk blows and has for his entire career. Would've been better off sticking with JoJo as the #2 and calling up depth forwards and defensemen as needed who at least have something to prove and will play as such. Can't stand watching Soderberg meander his way through games.
Because this is the Avs/NHL thread....I'll simply say that my Blackhawks have been fools for not actually rebuilding. Kane isn't what he was. Toews was always overrated and just missed a whole year.
Front offices that deceive themselves just end up punishing the fans.
In other non-Avs NHL news, this Tom Wilson Rangers/Caps thing is the best thing that's happened to the NHL all year. That opening faceoff fight last night lit up my twitter feed like no NHL content ever has in the decade plus I've used that site.
Tom Wilson should never be allowed to play in the NHL again.Quote:

Banning him is certainly one way to go, but that Rangers/Caps game last night did give me some nostalgia about the way things used to be. Maybe this way is better, I'm not an NHL expert by any means, but I have to imagine the NHL probably doesn't hate all the attention/publicity they got last night.Quote:

I was angry the entire game, even with the lead. We were lazy. Afraid to hit or get it. Everyone was just getting rid of the puck right away without looking. Landy was really lazy. On a change and in our zone on the pk at the end. No one wanted to move their feet.Quote:

I watched the first period and went to bed. Those 9pm starts kill me.
If the Avs win out, they win the President's Trophy. That'll be huge. I hope the Kings take the last two games off and the Avs bring the heat. The final two tune-up games before the playoffs. Gotta win.
Just saw this, I hope it's not too serious and they are being careful.

Jared Bednar said center Nathan MacKinnon was injured at VGK on Monday, unrelated to the previous ailment that forced him to miss two previous games. MacKinnon to be held out last two games. #Avs
It was his foot/ankle. I saw it. He hobbled to the bench. Not ideal timing nor the person we want this to happen to. Oh well. Finally they are getting Kadri a good line and he is playing well again. Kadri cannot make players around him better. He has to be on a good line and then he does well. He and Buro and Newhook are starting to heat up. Newhook 3games 3pts. Some of the assists have been easy, but so what, points are points. I like that line a lot more than Josty taking C.Quote:

Then they can sort the 3 and 4 with Val, donskoi, JT, TJ, soda, etc.
Kadri sucks.
If Mack isn't back for the playoffs this team goes nowhere.
Give us our trophy bitches.
