@HockeyMTNPod I think Olofsson or Colton gets moved with a prospect(s) and/or pick(s) for a mid-six wing upgrade -- ideally Tippett, Coleman or Debrusk.

Spitballing thoughts here:
- Even if the Avs make no more moves, the return of LOC, Kivi, and Lehky pushes Brindley and Bardakov out. Which I believe they wanted ahead of playoffs.
-So if there is another forward trade, who is scratched with Kivi? It’s not Kelly, is it Olofsson?

@BFlowSpartan 1st line center in NHL is most important offensive player on the team, almost always a great passer, often a top goal-scorer too. Think NBA point guards or NFL QBs. Not in elite tier but 2nd/3rd tier and still young enough to get better. Think Justin Herbert/Jordan Love in NFL.

Can someone explain non Matchbox Twenty Robert Thomas in NBA or NFL terms?
Darren Dreger@DarrenDreger
GM’s are describing the NHL landscape as a “buyers market”. Tons of players in play. Keep an eye on the Buffalo Sabres. Sources say talks between Buffalo and St Louis involving Robert Thomas are heating up.

@MalleyJimmy He was redundant. Malinski same type of player but better. #goavsgo 2 best D prospects, Gulyayev/Behrens also both undersized puck movers. Needed a defensive D who wont get pushed around. Pitt slightly won trade getting round 2 pick but if Avs get a good 3C & win Cup, who cares?

Have to ask this as a fan of another team.
#GoAvsGo fans, was Girard underperforming his contract price? I understand a few guys are coming off IR and cap looked like an issue. I just assumed there’d be other pieces to move to deal with that.

We have acquired Brett Kulak from the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for Samuel Girard and a 2nd round pick in 2028 NHL Draft.

The Wizard of Oz turns 87 this year, and back in 1998, critic Rick Polito wrote what might be the greatest one-line TV listing ever for TCM.

Asked Marchand how often he skates with MacKinnon, his linemate at Canada practice, in the summer:
“Well, he skates and I kind of try to chase him down.”
Is that what you’ll be doing here?
“Yeah, exactly. I’m just going to give it to him and change. I’m not catching him.”

Brilliant reimagining of this meme. Little Mack will be pushing big Mack and mc very soon.

@batcountry1980 Love this. So hard to pin them down. So many influences on top of the nyc velvets/television/strokes lineage. A little early tom waits to me. And Long Island sounds to be as if wild-era Bruce incorporated velvets.

Don’t really keep up to date with current music, but seen loads of talk of that band Geese on here so gave their latest album a go. Really liked it. Sounds like The Strokes covering In Rainbows. And that’s a ringing endorsement, not something to be frowned upon.

We have acquired Valtteri Puustinen and Pittsburgh's own 7th Round pick in the 2026 NHL Draft in exchange for Ilya Solovyov.

@jessemontano_ Some team that has a 3C or 7D needs a goalie. Good time to showcase him with the woods not 100% and Nabakov still a few months from coming to the U.S.
English
Wow. All three goalies on the ice for the Avs at morning skate… but it looks like Trent Miner will get a 2nd straight start tonight against Toronto.
Picked up his first NHL win and Shutout last game against Columbus.

@HighCountryCush @Avalanche Last 3 games with landy and Toews out.

I apparently missed it... but when did Brock Nelson get an "A" on the sweater? @Avalanche #GoAvsGo

Silver lining is both those guys will get a nice two-week vacation and can focus on the playoffs in the spring. #GoAvsGo

Yep picked Nabers early. Love this.

Bardakov is coming out. He was out late at morning skate.

Brindley will play tonight.

Great piece by @lizneisloss @GBHNews on a problem that could happen to any of us: out-of-network ambulance #surprisebills feat. my colleague @PatriciaKelmar's expertise.
U.S. PIRG@uspirg
Time to put an end to ambulance #surprisebills. “If you need an ambulance, you shouldn’t have to go to small claims court, a year and a half later, to settle your bill,” Kelly told GBH News wgbh.org/news/health/20…

@nyrdefender @hockeystatcards Yes, but like Makar, while no Slavin, an underrated defender.
English
@markmorge @hockeystatcards I also got a “poor man’s makar” so I take it he’s more of an offensive guy?
It does feel like a lot of Colorado’s good defensive play stems from clean breakouts and “the best type of defense” being offense

NHL GameScore Impact Card for Colorado Avalanche on 2025-11-16:
English
@nyrdefender @hockeystatcards Both zones, smart, very good speed/puck movement. D zone, cuts off angles, no fear of taking on bigger guys. O zone, great vision, pinpoint passes, rocket shot. Several goals/primary assists past 2 seasons off long-range shots. A little inconsistency but much better this year.
English
@hockeystatcards Haven’t watched much Avs. Can a ball knowing, impartial Avalanche fan update me on Sam Malinski?
What is he so good at? Any criticism?
Seeing a ton of good stuff about him but not sure if it’s a result of the overall team’s exceptional play.

I can’t believe I’ve never watched the induction ceremony before. #RockHall2025 is so much fun. Need to watch every year. Can’t wait for #Outkast reunion & fingers crossed Meg’s there for #WhiteStripes reunion.
