I just read a very cool Athletic article in which the authors were building an all-Avalanche teammate roster only using former teammates of the current Avalanche roster. I put the former teammate in brackets. Each Avalanche player can only be used once (otherwise Darren Helm could make an all-star roster by himself given the superteams he's been part of) and teammates on the Avalanche roster can't be used (can't use Landeskog for MacKinnon, per example). Juniors teammates can be used if the player has only played for the Avalanche in the NHL.

A. Ovechkin (A. Burakovsky) -- S. Crosby (J. Megna) -- P. Kane (D. Gilbert)
P. Kariya (E. Johnson) -- A. Matthews (N. Kadri) -- I. Kovalchuk (K. MacDermid)
A. Panarin (R. Murray) -- A. Barkov (J. MacDonald) -- J. Skinner (G. Landeskog)
J. Benn (V. Nichushkin) -- R. Getzlaf (K. Sherwood) -- B. Boeser (T. Jost)

N. Lidstrom (D. Helm) -- D. Doughty (D. Kuemper)
M. Weegar (N. MacKinnon) -- P. Subban (M. Maltsev)
A. Pelech (D. Toews) -- S. Jones (J. Compher)

P. Rinne (S. Girard)
S. Knight (A. Newhook)

I'm gonna try and create my own Canadiens version of it, see you guys in a week.

Atlantic division breakdown up next… Leafs, Habs, Bruins, Wings and Sens in that division. Should I tag the toxic fans and have a 12 page debate about Pierre Engvall being an elite talent and not the 4th liner I predicted him as or tag the civil fans and have rational intelligent debate? Leaning towards 15 page toxic thread

pharrow
CMcAvoy13 (not toxic but he hates Quinn Hughes with a burning passion for some reason)
Redwingsfan idk his name but y’all know him and know why he’s on this list

Who else you guys got?

Leafs fans are funny. I find the only reasonable one is the MitchMarner16 guy. I spent like an hour arguing with JaredofLondon because he was insisting that Jack Campbell was better than Thatcher Demko and I made an ACGM to ask other people what they thought and he reported me and the acgm…

He argued with me last year that Andersen played better than Price in the bubble… I saw him arguing that Connor Murphy was a league minimum third pairing d-man earlier this week

Hahaha that’s funny. I’m really curious to why he hates him though. Literally in any Acgm that Quinn is in, he always says stuff like “he doesn’t belong there” “Quinn Hughes isn’t good” and stuff like. What did the Hughes family ever do to him?

CMcAvoy73 thinks Quinn Hughes is a third pairing defence man and compared him to Mike Reilly…

This is completely off-topic, apologies, but prayers to all American military members, citizens, and Afghan civilians (and other normal civilians of other normal countries of course, if there are any there) stuck in Afghanistan right now. Just an absolutely horrific situation. May God protect those that remain from any further harm.

To be honest it’s mostly Leafs fans and the Redwings guy plus a few extras but mostly it’s Toronto fans. They don’t mix with anyone…
