This blown call debate is getting sickening, you cant even go to TSN to read the article without comments and comments about this offside/holding call/conspiracy theroies. The reaction is like its the first blown call in history of the NHL.

What the Avs need to do tonight is make a statement game, take control of it for a complete 60mins so there isnt a moment of doubt that the Avs were the better team in game 6. With or without Duchene tonight, its time to close this series.

Matt Duchene skated again this morning and will be a game-time decision, Patrick Roy said.

I think he is playnig, Roy wont give Yeo the advantage of knowing this ahead of time to set his lineups. He will have to make 2 plans of attack: 1 with Dutch and 1 without.

My thoughts exactly. Regardless of if he plays or not don't give Yeo time to plan for if he is/isn't suiting up. That being said, I think Dutchie will play tonight. Hope the avs can bury the wild on their own ice. Even though he's been great all series, this would be a nice time for Varly to completely steal a game by getting a you know what...

If Dutch is playing, even limited 5on5 mintues, to have him back on the PP would be a huge advantage. If we get our PP clicking, that in itself can be enough to win a game. This has been a series of strong PK teams.

This is the time where guys who have been to the dance...Talbot, Jiggy on the bench, and the locker room guy like Sarich/Tanguay to give the kids a talk and let them know what it takes to win a series.

We dont have too many guys playing tonight that have been in this situation before, they need to find out what it takes to get the job done

There has been so much complaining in all 4 major sports...cable networks are going to start broadcasting in standard definition and no more than 2 camera angles. Take us back to a time when we really didn't know if the call was blown or not!

Twitter, you enhance and destroy watching live sporting events at the same time allowing for media members and fan to rant at the moment it happens creating further choas and controversy. Feeding the machine...I love it and hate it.

The new up and coming writers who cover this sport dont help either, always writing from a fan boys perspective instead of a hockey professional

The Ryan Smyth trade was a good one too....turned into Quincy, who turned into Downie, who turned into Tablot plus the 5th rounder (Luke Walker).

Asset management is key
