Despite what Jim contends, that bottom 6 is some weak sh|t.

The Avs have two pretty talented players in Jost and Kerfoot down there...Jost is kind of like their Sprong, Kerfoot - um, I'm not sure we have a comparable really...Nieto is their Hagelin...Soderberg is much better than Sheahan...we should all know Comeau...Yakupov is like nothing we have, as most of our players are smart...

So, to a man, that bottom six is better than ours in a lot of areas...it'll be interesting to see who wins the battle tonight...Kuhnhackl on his weak side, Archibald finally surpasses me in terms of NHL games played this season...wouldn't be surprised if Andrighetto or Wilson swap with Jost at certain points...

Even with Horny swapping in for the worst of the six, that would give them 5 fourth liners. Their forwards issue isn’t having a bad 4th line, it’s that they need to add two 3rd liners.

GMJR will have decide if foregoing assets to achieve that is worth it, in relation to expectations of the rest of the team.

He'll get a good look at Carl Soderberg tonight if he wants to take him back on the plane with us...trade freeze is in 26 hours.

Hopefully Landeskog used up all his offensive bullets for the week on Saturday night against the Lightning.

Postby **Gaucho** » Mon Dec 18, 2017 9:19 pm

Landeskog is already the 37th best captain in history.

Ask me tomorrow who the Avalanche's head coach is and I will have forgotten it, yet again.

Hunwick has been a turnover machine the past 5 games or so

Nice screen by Comeau but guess where the puck went? Of course.

Postby **Gaucho** » Mon Dec 18, 2017 9:36 pm

Could be one of those Geno games.

YouTube · Postby **mikey** » Mon Dec 18, 2017 9:36 pm

That's a perfect screen by Comeau...

And a rare Kessel shot against the Avs that doesn't go in...

Postby **nocera** » Mon Dec 18, 2017 9:42 pm

If Malkin is able to one time that, it’s a goal.

And if a frog had wings he wouldn’t bump his ass when he hops...

Postby **Orlando Penguin** » Mon Dec 18, 2017 9:43 pm

For the goalies in the crowd -- does Murray get beat so much high glove because he keeps his glove too low? On that last shot that clanged the post, his glove looks lower than I see most goalies keep it.

Postby **Silentom** » Mon Dec 18, 2017 9:44 pm

Gooooooooooooal.

Postby **Orlando Penguin** » Mon Dec 18, 2017 9:45 pm

RUDE WEASEL!!

Postby **crusherstasiak** » Mon Dec 18, 2017 9:45 pm

You cannot give Ruhwedel that much time to shoot the puck.
