If they had properly suspended him the first time he wouldn’t have been on the ice to hunt his second head on the boards of the week.

96 has become a really ugly player, and one I hope to see getting heavy discipline as his conduct is frankly unacceptable.

#goavsgo

Surely this is the day he finds his form again…right? It can’t just be Georgiev again…

#goavsgo

I don’t think that’s mutually exclusive with discipline worthy behavior. If your instinct is to shove, and you can’t reign your “instincts” in when you see numbers, you are playing recklessly. Your instinct when a guy jaws you is probably to clock him but that’s still assault.

Dangerous and Reckless are hand in hand here. Whether to reason for it was carelessness or not he made a very dirty and unnecessary play and should’ve been suspended.

I just don’t think this is true. Look at the arms, 96 fully extends the check with his head up to launch Romanov into the boards. Dirty as hell.

Can we stop treating Rantanen like a child on skates for the first time? He has no requirement to see numbers and plant a forearm and cross check, that he fully extends into a shove btw, just because one of his feet was pressured. Absurd stuff.

Rantanen evading a suspension for one of the worst boardings we have seen in years is just more evidence of how much the league offices bias towards Dallas.

No question: this is Wedgewoods net. Blackwood the 1B.

Jared Bednar said he thinks Gavin Brindley can be a top-6 forward. Two days later, he's in the top-6 due to injury and looking good.

Heck of a shot there. 4-3.

Yikes, Blackwood just doesn’t have it in these first 3 starts. Abysmal tending.

#goavsgo

Feels like a “we know we can win this anyways and the principle of it being landy” kinda challenge. No way was that was getting called their way.

#goavsgo

Yeah I mean that was pretty obvious interference.

#goavsgo

Blackwood has allowed two goals in five shots. We get there is some rust.... but he has not had good starts in almost every game #Avs #GoAvsGo

Streets are wondering if it is about to be the annual “Is Blackwood a trade deadline target” convo again.

#goavsgo

Absolute joke that Necas gets penalized for killorn trying to behead him and Necas seeing the hit coming and turning. Self inflicted on Killorn 100%

#goavsgo

Long long rack record of Joel Quennville (noted enabler of Sexual Assault in his locker rooms)
Telling his team to run goalies who are hot. Hate that this scum is in the league. Hope wedgie is okay.

#goavsgo

Brindley has been a gem. I don’t think he’s coming out unless Bednar has some severe vet bias

Hope Blackwood picks it up as the season goes. He’s been a chaotic mess these first two shows.

James Watson, dead at 97, was a scientific legend and a pariah among his peers James Watson, the co-discoverer of the structure of DNA who died Thursday at 97, was a scientific legend and a pariah among his peers.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

It was a bold strategy by the Oilers to kill the Avs vibe by sending them to the power play but it worked.

The McDavid/Nurse era oilers are such dirty slimeballs dude lmao.

Just classless thugs endlessly committing violent penalties for no reason.

#goavsgo

That net was not affixed properly for it to come off like that. Absolutely criminal to give the home team a goal on this.

It’s literally their arena staff’s responsibility. Garbage, bush league stuff.

Aka the poor goaltending indicator

Avs are now 0-5 in overtime while the Sharks..... the Sharks are 3-2 in OT. They have won two straight for the first time all season #Avs #GoAvsGo @HockeyMtnHighCO

Losing to the sharks is pretty embarrassing. Blackwood beaten clean twice by Kureshev on shots that just shouldn’t go in. All the flaws Dallas exploited with Blackwood (side angle positioning, slow reactions, going down in the butterfly early) on full display.

Goalies the difference here.
#goavsgo

Refs join Avs fans in not wanting to see the Avs on the Pp anymore this game.

#goavsgo

Friendly fire

Solovoyov nearly took his own captain out of the game in a massive friendly fire collision trying to locate a floating puck. Hope everyone is okay there.

#goavsgo

The rookie heavy 4th line could have 3 goals right now. Generating tons of high danger chances that just narrowly don’t cash in. Makar and Bhardakov both look NHL caliber so far.
