Idk why the focus has to be on one or the other though
The team as a whole needs work throughout the lineup
If Faschong works out & becomes a solid top6 winger than that's great. I've just always had my doubts about him.
And clearly, I've liked McNabb from the start

Nothing we can do about that now though except see what happens with Fasching

- jdfitz77


And that's not wrong, I'm just not as upset about the trade. At the time I wasn't upset at all with McNabb being traded because we had so many defensemen that looked as though they would be as good or better than him. It's been a while now and I still feel like we have the same. We traded a position of strength for one of need. We might have a gap in talent in 2 years but I think you can find a guy within that time to mitigate that. If Fasching works, great. But I rarely ever count on college guys to make noise in the NHL so if he doesn't I won't feel that upset. That's just me.

Buffalo can't win 3 in a row. It's science. 4-0 Avs. It'll be a 0-0 game after 1, 1-0 after 2, and then they'll get 2 and an empty net in the 3rd. Buffalo might get 1 if McGinn stays as lucky as he has been.

btw...did anyone else notice mike weber pull a noel picard (see famous orr Stanley cup clincher) on vermette after he snuck one by Johnson?
- Michael Pachla


Yes.

Whoops ... pardon my stick.

I thought that was part of the lead-in to the action behind the net, and probably what caused Vermette to be the one escorted over to the blue line.

Well if he doesn't, then we traded a top4 defenseman for a 4th liner
Not a good move IMO

a good road team on a three game road winning streak vs. a Colorado team that's looks to be average at home...

has the look of a three-point game to me

Going to be an exciting game, I love the AVs for some reason i think a lot of people do in this area, i may be wrong. Both teams are young and getting it together. ROR will dominate. Risto will lay out big Z


But score wise...

3-1 Avs

ROR

Delo has done pretty well imo. He's lost some but he's won his fair share as well. The team as a whole has been responding well
- Zschalberg

A Delauriers can play. That's the biggest difference

- JVince11


yup, was in net vs the jets last night 2-1. EJ should be back too.

My guess on the line up will be

Tanguay Mack Dutch
Landy Soderberg Comeau
Martinsen Grigo Iggy
McLeod Mitchell Skille

EJ Bigras
Zads Beuchemin
Barrie Holden

Varly

Depends what they do with Bigras when EJs back, both him and Zads have been unreal since being called up, could see Bigs being sent back down just based on the numbers game. Grigs has been a healthy scratch the past 2 games, I imagine Roy brings him back in instead of Wagner on 3rd line since hes been awful the past few games

Hmmm...

Buffalo hasn't beaten the Avs in about 3 years i believe... I hear about it every year since my BIL is an Avs fan.

i went to the game in Col in 2013 when we got shelled like 7-2 and chased Miller in his final start for Buffalo.

You're so not ready. You don't leave ALL your stuff where someone else can take it and leave you stranded.

I'll agree there. If he does pan out, I'd say the trade was fine.
