Smith/Erod/Tage

I don’t get why they can’t do that. Sobotka is invincible apparently

A very nice looking 3rd line. Put Girgs/Larry and one of Okposo/Pommer on the 4th.

I think sobotka shows up and works hard, every shift and every game.

Sure it would be nice if he scored, but not every player on every team scores.

Housley likes his consistency. As do i

- Boss34

the problem is we have 4 4th liners

sobotka, girgens, larsson and okposo

we can only play 3


I would park okposo in the presser and play the other 3 on the 4th line as they can all PK

I don't know if you've heard, but all we need are guys that try hard. Talent is dumb and lame.

they could if we had a different coach
- homiedclown


If Housley was canned and coach Q or Vigneault were in here, it would be even worse. Young kids like Nylander/Oloffson/TT would never get a chance to play in the top 6 with talent. The Scott Wilson's/Okposo's of the world who play "heavy hockey" would be given the chance.

Found some wifi at the 716. First time I’ve ever taken a walk through the Harbour Centre. Saw Kaleta walking out of an elevator.

Zach Bogosian has a lower-body injury and is day-to-day. Matt Hunwick is in. Carter Hutton in goal.

Beaulieau sits again, hmm...

And Ullmark gets the win, gives up 1 goal and sits today. Makes sense.

Hunwick played the right side almost exclusively when he was in Toronto a few years back and played some in Pittsburgh as well. Probably what went into the decision.

I have no problem with Hutton playing today. That would be 3 games in 4 days for Ullmark. One of which he saw 40 shots

I guess I saw him as a LD and they could have moved Dahlin over to the right and played Beaulieau. I thought Hunwick looked decent last game he played. Beaulieau is probably livid.

It’s kind of luck though too.

What team besides us hasn’t had 2-3 injured D for a stretch of games yet this year?

Only one has been hurt long term and that’s Nelson.

Botterill should have moved a D man out a while ago.

St. Louis went a whole period with just 4 shots while having 2 PP’s.

This is a western conference playoff team

They’re almost guaranteed a playoff spot though. The teams behind them are remarkably worse

It was looking good until the entire western conference folded like a loaf of bread. They’ll be a playoff team this year. Wild lost Koivu for the year and everyone else outside of the playoffs is hot garbage.

I'm good with that as I'd rather be guaranteed three 1st round picks this year, especially with not having a 2nd round pick this year.

The situation the Avalanche are in is rather enviable.

Yeah I’m good knowing we have the pick.

It’s a good, deep first round

For a period.

Then he will get sat the moment he takes a penalty or makes a bad play, and we will complain.

Do you really believe Olofsson, Nylander O’Regan or Asplund are just going to come in and transition smoothly?

Housley just sat the Amerk’s best player yesterday
.

- sbroads24

Or maybe he'll get sat or moved to another line because he doesn't look like he belongs there?

Fine, we'll get their pick in the mid teens and select Kaliyev.

And we'll get Soderstrom with our own pick. Win win.
