Dube and Reider need to stay. The speed they bring is noticeable.
Dube Ryan and Lucic are making this team look very good. 3rd line that is dangerous and reliable defensively is nice to have.
Bennett, Frolik, Jankowski have to be wondering where they fit in. 1 probably needs to go. Reider is just as good as any of them. Czarnik played well early too
Janko hasnt been good but lets not pretend Bennett really provides anything more when he plays
Yes, he definitely does.
Jankowski hasn't even been a decent 4th liner for much of the season (though better lately). Bennett hasn't lived up to his draft potential obviously, but he is a solid 3rd liner.

…is playing some damn good hockey lately and shutting down some pretty talented skaters on the opposing teams. And he’s still getting some bone-crunching hits in. I am okay with controlled Z. Let him live in the other teams’ heads, wondering if and when he’s gonna go all Jekyll-and-Hyde and absolutely break someone.
Quote:
Johnny has got to hate playing against him by now, last few games he’s done nothing against the Avs – usually all within Z’s reach. I kind of miss the "old" Z’s way of playing but I do have to say the "controlled" Z is growing on me.
Quote:
I bet when Zadorov is close to healed, Bednar is going to sneak into his home and break his jaw all over again.
Keys to the game for the Avs:
Dont get injured
Thats it
Quote:
Every series must come to an end. I have a feeling tonight ours will end.... Please no more injuries....
Quote:
Calgary vs the walking dead.
Quote:
I miss Cale already.
Quote:
I'm just so bummed. In my head I figured he was invincible since he'd done so well avoiding hits... first big one he takes injures him. Hopefully its nothing serious and he'll be back asap
MIA Bringers of Doom
Quote:
So what are the odds Zac Rinaldo injures multiple Avs players tonight?
Quote:
No Sam Bennett tonight, and we cant afford to get involved with that #### anyway.
Quote:
Where is Bennett?
Quote:
Calgary Flames
Twelve Forwards of Noble Demeanour
and Zac Rinaldo
Quote:
Rinaldo and Lucic will probably each claim one casualty
Angry Birds
Quote:
Lmao Tkachuk doing his usual dickhead #### crosschecking MacKinnon for no reason.
Quote:
Tkachuk is going to run Landy early and knock him out of the game.
Quote:
Tkachuck looses it, yells "****" as it's thrown down the ice
Quote:
#### matt tkachuk
Ryan ties the game
Quote:
Who the #### missed their assignment? He was way too open.
Quote:
Landy looking like hot garbage so far
Quote:
C'mon, G. Dafuq was that
Quote:
Moser is such a ****ing idiot.
Quote:
Girard is easily the most disappointing player this year
Quote:
Girard has been trash tonight
Quote:
He's just lost his mojo. He at times looked like Makar on offense last year. He's done Jack #### this year and has very little confidence it seems. Getting caught on his spin moves. Things like that
Quote:
Maybe all the spinning finally made Girard dizzy and he couldn't see the other man on the ice clearly
Chucky ties the game again
Quote:
Barberio you ****in plug go back to the nacho box
Quote:
Landeskog must've had like 5 giveaways this game. He looks terrible.

The old Colorado special.

Quote:
Barberio that was dumb. Good acting by Johnny Floppy
Quote:
Lookin like a professional door to door with that sell
Quote:
Ooh, a spin-dive. That’s a new one.
Quote:
Come on.... at least make them work for it.
Quote:
Special teams starting to cost us this game. We really need better special team coaches.
Quote:
Such a stupid penalty to take. Ugh. C'mon guys.
Quote:
Nice ####ing Kill Avs.
Quote:
Can the flames fire their PP coach too?
Quote:
Avs passing has been bad, combined with Flames doing a good job pressuring and being in passing lanes.
Feels like a letdown game. Hopefully Avs will get a good individual effort in the third period, scoring a goal.
Holy Shield
Quote:
Jesus that guy’s good
Quote:
Colorado needs to play some jesus defence holy ####
Quote:
Holy spirit jesus defense. Blessed are the sons that block shots.
Quote:
Ah yes, Jesus defence. Solid strategy.
Mangiapane bangs one in
Quote:
Well ####, that’s not the way we wanted to start the 3rd Period here.
Quote:
Girard… Dude...
Quote:
Well shiiiiiiiiieet
Quote:
Lol wtf happened
Quote:
The ****ing Barbs penalty switched all the momentum and it's been downhill from there.
Quote:
Well then
Quote:
#### pass from Girard
Quote:
Jeeeeez, what a horrendous pass from Girard to Zadorov. Put him in no man's land
Quote:
SEND GIRARD DOWN PLS
Quote:
We have been a bit sloppy since the first period.
Quote:
Felt that one coming. Too many shots for one not to go in
Reider to Frolik
Quote:
This is the moment I throw my controller at the wall and accuse my older brother of cheating
Quote:
Play. Some. ####ing. Defense
Quote:
####........ it’s not our night tonight.
Quote:
Rosen didn't do **** to stop that play. Awful by him.
Quote:
wtf was that coverage rosen lol... youre literally standing beside him
Quote:
... that pass was right across the ice... how does Rosen not just slap that away?
Quote:
Yeah, I don't care how many people we're missing. Still unacceptable.
Quote:
Well, this game has turned a corner.
Quote:
lol what Rosen doing?
Quote:
Can we restart the period?
Quote:
This game was destined to be a game like this.
Quote:
Just WTF......
Quote:
You gotta be ****ing kidding me.
Quote:
It was funnier when calgary sucked and couldnt win
Quote:
Y I K E S
Quote:
Okay I don't like hockey anymore.
Quote:
Avs have given up the most 1st period goals and the least 3rd period goals. It's such a weird thing to me.
Quote:
Hockey is dumb. Shut it down.
Quote:
What the ####........
That was a crazy goal there.
Quote:
Doesn't matter what our forwards are if our defense is garbage. Completely different team without Makar and this game is more of a testament that we'll be a better team with Timmins if he turns into a top 4 defenseman that can make a outlet pass over Hall.
Mr Overtime

####.........
GG Flames.
Quote:
Did Monahan even play the first 60 minutes?
Quote:
There is zero awareness when it comes to OT.
Quote:
Yeah I'll take the point. Girard didn't want us to have any apparently.
Quote:
Why? Every single time someone misses their man........ Every time!
Quote:
Thats the pretty much how all of our OTs end lol.
Quote:
Gotta hold onto the puck and wait for it in OT....
Quote:
Bura has to know he was the last man back.
Superstar Power
Quote:
Here to watch Calgary flames superstar milan lucic
Quote:
Oh yay another Lucic story showing how tough he is.
Quote:
he Hobbit with Lucic experiment shouldn’t last long.
Quote:
That's a beer league Twitter move by Lucic.
Quote:
Flames broadcasters once again pumping Lucic’ tires and expounding on his penalty mins. Treliving must pay them a bonus for every time they paint the Lucic trade in a positive light on air.
Quote:
I was going to say Cassie must have hacked Looch's twitter account
Quote:
At least it wasn’t Lucic’s goal ....
The Calgary Horseshoes
Quote:
I’ve already accepted that Calgary will pass us. The Oilers have squandered a very good start to the season with inexcusable losses to teams they should beat.
that said, go Avs.
Quote:
Talent level wise, the Avalanche are MILES ahead of CGY. Looks like a talented team against scrubs
Quote:
****ing Flames.
Quote:
Looks like the Horseshoes are back.
Quote:
Damn Peters. If he wasn't such a jerk the Flames wouldn't have had something to rally around. Could have just been lame old Peters continuing to spin down the drain with the rest of the group.
Hopefully the coaching change boost runs out soon.
Quote:
There's rat****er. Just as predictable as the sun rising in the east tomorrow.
Quote:
I bet I can count on 1 hand how many games the Flames have won this season by scoring first
Quote:
**** the hockey Gods really must hate us. **** you hockey Gods. You just know the Arizona-Calgary game tomorrow is going to OT
