Rick Sadowski: Team USA: Stastny thrilled, Johnson 'disappointed'

Feel bad for Johnson. Less deserving players like Martin and Faulk took his spot.

Keep him healthy and motivated for the Avs, feel bad for him but this could be a blessing for Avs playoff push.

Free Showcase for stastny with other wingers, could cause a trade bidding war if he finds some chemistry and we decide not to resign him.

Why did Dater tweet a different combination of lines for this evening? He still had Mackinnon with Stastny and Landeskog.

The fourth Period has Stastny and Briere mentioned in the same rumour blog, unleess its containing another name like Eller, I dont think so Buddy.

Yea...no thanks. I'd take Briere for maybe a 4th rounder, that's about it.

Did Barrie and Wilson get traded?

Avs just announced starters: Duchene with McGinn and Talbot; Barrie and Wilson scratched; so Holden and Guenin are in.

Would highly doubt it, but weird move.
Wilson maybe, but Barrie would be crazy.

What does A Dater know anyway?

Can't wait to hear the reasoning. Roy has been pretty open all season about changes in the lineup, something brought this last minute change.

chances are he didnt like the way they looked in warm ups? I missed the pre game, did they take warm ups?

But Rangers and Columbus are here as scouts tonight. Del Zotto?

Dater tweeted that no trade is in the works for wilson/barrie. I can't see warmups, living in Minnesota and using NHL Gamecenter.

moving 2 dman would be a very weird move, you move one and package him up with picks or prospects to upgrade, moving both wouldnt do us any favours unless itsa crazy top 4 dman return

Yea that is very true. Maybe it is a discipline thing. Showing up late or something.

Wilson was terrible last game so that didnt surprise me, I didnt think Barrie had a bad game so who knows

attagirl McGinn, keep that value up so either someone over pays for you or we realize mitchell is the guy to trade.

Really nice play. Should have been Duchene's goal if he stopped in front of the net though.

im more impressed that duchene wasnt tempted or just accidentally kicked it in based on how bang bang it was, seemed like he left it knowing mcginn was crashing the net too.

Looked like he skated through and whiffed on his own rebound, but who knows he looks as lethal as ever.

He has had 2 solid scoring chances already, he will pot a few tonight with the way he is skating
