Thread: Game 1 Lines
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Scooter81</b></div><div>It’s good and all but not the best. Top six is perfect by the way. Third line is okay but the fourth line is questionable. It’s hard to imagine that Helm doesn’t get the nod for game one instead of NAK. Defense is fine. For me it’s hard to imagine that Byram will play with Johnson. He will probably play with. Makar. Rets of the Defense is okay I guess, but the goalies are perfect.</div></div>

You may think the 4th line is questionable, but I disagree.
How many playoff teams right now have the quality of scratches COL does (Helm, Cogliano and J Johnson).? Deep team with options.

As for Byram with Makar, absolutely not. Toews and Makar have been arguably the best top pairing in the league, why on earth would you split that up? Lol

Thread: Avalanche Regular Season Report Cards
Burakovsky has set career highs in goal scoring assists and obviously points and he doesn’t get an A?
Compher in route to career high in goals and points and he gets a C? I’d give him a B besides the production he has filled in at a lot of roles when guys have been hurt.
Francouz as a back up goes 15-4-1 2.52 .918 &amp; 2 shutouts and that’s average? He has been exceptional in his role as a back up and deserves a B.
LOC was awesome at the beginning, hit a long dry spell scoring but he was always good on the forecheck and pk deserves a C at the very least he has been better all season than Helm and NAK.
Girard deserves a tougher grade because by his standards he’s struggled if C+ were possible I’d give him that.
Murray Id argue almost deserves an Incomplete.
