@citchmook The data says otherwise. Teams w/ an average age > 30 don’t win Cups.
Aho - 28
Svechnikov - 25
Miller - 26
Jarvis - 24
Blake - 22
Vegas mostly 28/29
Dorofeyev - 25
Howden - 27
Avs avg age 2025/2026 was 30.7. Maintain the core but otherwise get younger and faster.
@Avs_Daily The Avs are a high speed high skill team. But at some point in the playoffs, the ice gets small and you have to win by playing physical tenacious hockey - Out work your opponents. The Avs personnel are not designed for that style.
@EricGoodman There is no open ice in the playoffs. If your success is contingent on open ice, you’re toast. Last 7 Cup winners:
FL, FL, LV, Col, TB, TB, St. L
All but AVS play a checking, physical, D first system that grinds you down. Score opportunistically. That’s playoff hockey
@AmericaPapaBear I wish every US citizen could visit Normandy and see first hand what these men faced. Then take a trip to the adjacent American cemetery. An extraordinarily moving experience.
@TRHLofficial@SecDuffy It’s expensive to reinvent the wheel. If another country/region has already implemented an acceptable alternative, minimally use it as a starting point. Our government is incapable of implementing difficult technology projects.
@evanrawal Why compare? They play different roles.
Makar plays D with an O mindset. But he’s a true D, shutting down top players and killing PIM’s.
Hughes is a top F playing huge minutes from the point. He’d be a Selke candidate. He’s not a shutdown D and doesn’t kill PIM’s.
🚨 ALERT: Scott Presler for RNC Chairman!
I’ve been saying it for months — the calls are growing louder: Scott Presler needs to be RNC Chair or take a major role. No one is outworking him.
While others talk, Scott delivers: massive voter registration drives, record turnout in key states, and boots-on-the-ground action that flipped battlegrounds.
He’s doing more than the entire RNC combined. Time to put a proven fighter in charge.
Share if you agree: Scott Presler NOW. 🇺🇸
#ScottPreslerForRNC #RNCChair #MAGA
I would like to publicly endorse Scott Pressler for Chairman of the RNC.
Tyler Bowyer as co-Chair.
No one cares more about Republican base strategy on a grassroots level than these two.
It would mean Republican majorities for the next 50 years.
Time to do what must be done.
@MN_Wild_Fans I love to watch Faber. So good at O & D. Toews is the same with the Avs. Both always in the right spot doing the right thing.
They’re why Hughes and to a lesser extent Makar can freelance so much
@Houseofyogi If you listen to her, you’re left thinking - Can she be that stupid?
She’s no Einstein but she’s not stupid.
She’s a socialist provocateur. She plays a role that’s given her status and made her very rich. That’s her grift and she’s good at it.
@evanrawal There are 2 NHL seasons. Speed and skill rewarded in 1 while clutching, grabbing, and cross checking rewarded in 2nd. See Florida Panthers.
Die hard Avs fans since they were the Nordique. They are the best team in the NHL. But are they the best “playoff” team. We’ll see.
