@@biffdanielson2820technically yes, but the Jets trashed us in the regular season when we played like ass all 3 games vs them, but in playoffs both Lehky and Val got a goal in every game vs the jets
@@freedom_fighter4317 Likely not Landeskog. He is evidently “taking time away from the ice.” Not a good sign at all. I won’t be surprised if he retires in the next few weeks. But we should be getting Drouin back in the same time frame as Val. Val, Leki and Drouin are all 20+ goal scorers. That’s almost a goal/game. Colton will be more like the end of December.
When Necas plays well, he is a true 200 foot player. When he's not playing well, he regresses and turns into an offense-only player who makes dumb turnovers and is undependable in his own end. This is his season to prove he's someone that can be counted on in every facet of the game. So far, so good.
What really helps him this season is the fact that he gets an increased role on the team, given the departures this offseason. His skills have been shown in previous seasons, and for the first time ever he's getting to show it for an entire season.
I agree with your point about the dumb “country”’s Gretzky. It’s similar to how in soccer, every country has their Messi just because a player is short and can dribble well.
So glad Nichushkin is doing better. Don't care for the avs especially but I'm glad he's back on track. Now they just need to adress the scarecrow in the net and they'll win a cup.
Honestly, with Juice playing the way he is, we should be ok as long as Georgie plays at like .900, especially since all our guys are coming back around this month or next
Colorado isn't having an offensive problem they can't keep pucks out of their own net. I'm still hopeful Anunnen can do it but they have to find a goalie before their offense matters.
Hopefully the Broberg injury is 4 to 6 and not 4 TO 6. I was listening to the game through 101 ESPN app (the radio station who does Blues hockey) and the way the commentators were describing it I was expecting worse than 4 to 6
Avs are getting healthy and getting important pieces back, but at least one of them isn't the piece I was expecting (Lehky) and another isn't one I wanted (Val). I want Landy back, or at least, a definitive answer from either the team or the player, and certainly not prognosticators in random TH-cam comment sections. I eagerly await a day where Shannon breaks the news ahead of a speculative comment reply that pretends to know more than the team, Shannon, and player do.
The benching should light a fire under Pastrnak’s ass. I’d expect that line to start producing soon, Lindholm and Zacha look good together. Not to mention Lindholm can actually win face offs, something they didn’t have last year.

It is not as if the Four Nations Tournament will be anywhere near to "best on best", anyhow. Such a joke.
Content suggestion if I might? You have awesome jerseys to show off. Can you take 5 seconds before or after your cast to show us the whole jersey and a line or two about its origin, if it’s an odd one? That would be interesting. Thx!
Lehkonen and Nichushkin returning are a good thing no doubt, but unfortunately our problems lie in defence and atrocious goaltending. P.S. Ovi is simply unreal!
Defense is not isolated to the six guys on the backend. Getting Val and Lehky back should be a huge boost on that end as well as both play a 200ft game and are relentless back checkers. Also allows for guys like Kovalenko, Ivan, Kivi, LOC and Colton when he returns to slot back onto their normal bottom six lines. When you’re having to piece part together lines each night like they’ve had to this season so far, the defensive breakdowns are inevitable.
Honestly, I could see Colton staying on the top line, and Drouin being on second, with Val, and Lehky with Landy (assuming he returns) on third. Scary stuff for the league there
Eh. The Avs were also missing players. And we didn't get spanked. It went to 7 games against Seattle and 6 games against Dallas that was won in triple OT. Not exactly a spanking boy
Yeah, our full lineup probably clears most teams. Stars out-depthed us but to be fair, Otter honestly won some of those games, and we were still missing guys
Now watch the Avs outbox tray fill up with unexpected injuries, right as certain others return. What is that jersey from. Avalanche Fights Barney the Dinosaur Night? 💜 Who decided lavender was a cancer color? I don’t remember my Dad turning light purple when he was dying of prostate/bone cancer. 🤨
Ovi and Crosby in the Three Stars. Simply heartwarming.
What year is it again 😅 love to see it
Fun fact: Frederik Andersen is 10th all time in points by a Danish player.
He's a goalie.
@@clydeblair9622thanks g, didn’t know that. Thought he was a 1C.
Happy start of a new week Shannon
Celebrini confirmed will be playing tomorrow.
The big question is if Nichushkin can focus on the game and not screwing up a third time.
4th time is without pay again and for a year. Money is a huge motivator
Retro 3 stars moment.
Necas well deserved
And Adam Foote and Greg de Vries and Jon Klemm and Aaron Miller.
"Avs About to Get Healthier"
Not if I can help it!
*grabs crowbar*
How dare you
PUT IT DOWN
WHYYY! And I'm hoping someone is as old as me here and gets the reference 😂
Hearing Lehkonen and Nichushkin returning as a Jets fan sends shivers down my spine. Those guys shredded us last year 😭
Weren't they with the Avs last year when the jets trashed them?
@@biffdanielson2820technically yes, but the Jets trashed us in the regular season when we played like ass all 3 games vs them, but in playoffs both Lehky and Val got a goal in every game vs the jets
As a Canes fan, Necas deserves to be up there with Ovi and Crosby. Necas is going to be remembered as one of the greats, just remember that
It is crazy that Crosby and Ovechkin are still this good.
finally avss about to rock
Hell yeah
Landeskog, Valeri, and Lehkonen❤
@@freedom_fighter4317

I have Pasta on my fantasy team, trading him and Stone to get Tkachuk and Ek. Hopefully it ends up working out
I’m getting Brady Tkachuk, not Matt
heard that it is the 1st time Ovechkin and Crosby were in same 3 stars of the week since they started the 3 stars recognition in 2005-06
Great content King!
Drouin is expected to be back between Lehky and Nuke as well!

Tabarnac, Jonathan! Will you ever get back?
Excited for Celebrini to be playing again!!!

It hasn’t been even a week and Edmonton is rushing McDavid back. Inexcusable

@@CamGoldberg3796We do have Kaapo, who I do think is pretty decent as a back up
Interesting stuff. Donato should have received consideration as a star this week.
Thanks for the Avalanche good news🍒🍒
Ah that’s a bummer for Broberg. Thought he might be playing himself onto team Sweden! Still gutted he’s not an Oiler anymore. Not his fault!
awesome outfit guy!💯
Random hockey comment
Hey, that’s the same picture of Lekhonen I have as my Twitter profile picture lol
Until they retire, Ovi and Crosby are still the GOATs of this league
Kucherov is a cheap shot artist, A real Busher.
Really, really want to see Laine get back and do well. Anyway, go Jets.
When my Avs sucked for 19 years, i became an Ovechkin fan. I love seeing him play this well so late in his career.
Lehky back then Wood gets placed on IR, we cursed 😂
Back dated to 10/28, so Wood is already eligible to be reactivated.
@ really?! Hallelujah
The Avs may get slightly more healthy but it doesn’t fix the play that has been on the ice at least defensively and goaltending
You have to remember. 3 of the forwards are actually decent defense wise. Wood, Lehky, and Nuke are good 200ft forwards. Colton is too.
Nuke has one of the best forechecks in the league. He was an absolute menace during their cup run.
About the no other player at his age (Ovie) comment. Mike Gartner? Jaromír Jágr ? Joe Sakic? OK some were 2 years younger, but still unheard of?
How many did those players score at age 39?
Gordie Howe was just getting started at 39 @@TheHockeyGuy
Colorado isn't having an offensive problem they can't keep pucks out of their own net. I'm still hopeful Anunnen can do it but they have to find a goalie before their offense matters.
Or...and stay with me here. The players that are missing kind of help with that
@@soulknife20 since when are forwards noted for their save percentage?

I want Landy back, too. But not getting my hopes up. And, as long as Val isn't an idiot, he's going to be a welcome piece.
Zuuuuuuuuub!!!
Necas needs to keep his hair dyed blonde for the rest of the season!
Who’s Valari?
Valeri Nichuskin
Ovi is on pace for 52 goals...wat?
Go Ovie!
So Ovi last season was a machine that was retuning and we could be back to normal service - God help us all.
Not a generational player by THG🤣
Ovi the goat...its not even a debate. Lets Go Caps!!!
Persecute your best player? Coach cowardice.
