Nichushkin News. Teams We Wouldn't Want to Be Traded To. Towes & Wood Season Grades
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 июл 2024
- Any new involving Val Nichushkin will immediately become big news in Avalanche circles these days, and that holds true when part two of a Russian series involving the Colorado Avalanche forward was released over the weekend. Evan Rawal from Colorado Hockey Now had part of it translated in which Val talks about the injury and hotel incident during the Seattle series.
We also discuss our own personal no trade list. Which NHL teams would we have on our contract that we would veto a trade?
Finally, we finish off our season grades with Devon Toews and Miles Wood.

I think we sometimes freak out that someone will walk (Toews) but then they lock him up and you’re so happy about it and then immediately start to take him for granted
He’s a top 10 defender no question
I believe this Val interview. Of course he didn’t want to speak out about the girl incident… it would require throwing his friends under the bus. I’ve suspected the injury for awhile now. Both times we’ve known about him entering the players assistance program, I watched him play the preceding game and thought he had the face of everyone I know who’s been addicted to painkillers. Players and organizations always try to hide injuries - look at that doc about McDavid years ago… they mentioned how hard it was to keep it under cover. And partying with an injury… I watched a hockey player slash an artery on his ankle, staple it himself, and head straight out to the bars. Sn injury won’t slow down an addict. Finally, this makes so much more sense that McFarland even recently said they want him back. They are all brothers who went to war and one of them came out with physical ptsd. What kind of team would just say screw you and kick him to the curb? This all makes total sense but now the problem is almost bigger - playing will most likely lead to injury, which will most likely lead to painkillers. Idk how he can ever play consistently without relapsing again:(
I love nichuschkins talent level, I love his size ( the avs are a small team, and this is a glaring problem) but I am seriously concerned about his commitment level. I wouldn't blame the avs if they tried to see what they could get for him.
If i had to pick 5 teams to not go to i think id pick...
5.) Detroit (because you cant have anything) if you catch my drift *wink *wink
4.) Kings i was in LAX once...dirtiest ive ever felt.
3.) Minnesota. All they're teams have bad luck up there.
2.) leafs
Now this is where im a bit more serious though as
I picked them because of the pressure.
1.) Canucks
canucks are number one because sure, i understand losing in the finals and being upset. But burning parts of your city down?! And along with other "interesting" things they do, win or lose. I wouldn't want to be associated with THAT.
Wow Vancouver number 1 ? I don’t think I would mind that trip tho
@@shaggyvondoom lol, im sure Vancouver itself is fine...but I'm scared of the fans....
Detroit? The rivalry is dead. How did you like winning the cup with helm
My 5 no-trade list, bonus one.
5 - Knights, mostly how they treat players. Example Fleury, when the owner told him he would retire as a Knight then he basically gave him away to Chicago. Using Stone by LTIR to sign players. How they manipulate the cap.
4 - Dallas don't like the jerseys and the way their fans yell 'Stars' during the national anthem.
3 - Oilers, because of the players, they sign Kane, Perry, and how great McDavid and Draisaitl are all the time.
2 - Lightning, fans cry to this day about 2022.
1- Boston - When fans are in Colorado for the game, the fans are obnoxious.
I could list one more.
Toronto- The fans are obnoxious, and jerseys are ugly. Their players are their for the money and could less about the playoffs. The relationship players have with Justin Bieber is weird.
Thats my list.
Now I get the Boston hate lol
lol
Val loves to party 🕺🏽
Lodi dodi
When not knowing the truth why does everyone (Avs nation in particular) choose rumors over the man himself opening up about it. Why automatically assume hes lying?
Also Kyle about the shoulder injury, injuries are never disclosed because if they were, everyone we played would be late hitting and cheap shotting that part of the body.
That's the easy thing to do. When we don't have the answers to anything, we make up our own and come up with the absolute worst case scenario. And then get mad when others don't agree with our made up reality. Then, if we eventually do get the facts and the truth, we ignore it because we've already told ourselves our own truth over and over. Humans.
I was just saying even after the season
I'm kinda surprised no one has put Winnipeg down just due to the winters there, and being a Canadian city. I wouldn't be keen on Minnesota either.
Love Toews and the priority the team gave to keeping him. He gets an A from me. Since joining the Avs his +/- is 148, which leads the league over those 4 years by a lot. Second over that time was Gustav Forsling with a +133 (who was +56 last year alone), and then Matthew Tkachuk with +111. His few mistakes just remind us he's human.
I love winter. I'd probably like Winnipeg
@@LockedOnAvalanche I live in a mountain town in BC and I love winter too. But I don't think I'd like them in Winnipeg.
I’m in the “Val has torpedoed my trust” camp and this blurb contradicts itself enough that I don’t believe most of it. I can get behind the claim of the shoulder injury but if they knew he wasn’t playing, why fly him to Seattle? That’s weird to me. Can’t sleep, went out and partied, still no real clarity but you feel like bringing it up in a podcast for some reason? Come on, guy. It’s all just still very bizarre but the claims he’s making don’t exactly hang together well.
Whatever. I hope we can get a good return for him in a trade or something.
Val's statement is puzzling because he played the first two games against Seattle, even scored a goal in one of them. So if his shoulder was bothering him so much the team knew he wasn't going to play the first round, why did he play two games of the first round...? Perhaps something is lost in translation here.
Vegas was 120° today......
No thanks
Absolute hell as far as weather
Put yourself on LTIR for the day
Yeah, the weather is only good there for half the year unless you're a lizard.
Does anyone think the Av’s will be a better team next year than this last season?
On paper basically the same but hockey isn't played on paper. Our defense and Goaltending could have a huge bounce back to 2022 levels and be awesome
50/50
With the moves they have made I don't think it shifts the needle all that much in either direction. Still a good team, but better than last year? It can be argued either way
@@LockedOnAvalanche
Thanks for your great channel and always getting back to us.
@@solvingpolitics3172 and thank you for listening and the support!
I had injections in my shoulder a few weeks ago...I havent had any drunk Russian girls in my hotel room or any other side effects.

If you've ever been to Winnipeg in late fall/winter, you'd know why it's number one or two after/with Detroit.
I don’t mind Boston
Think about how, just in Avs Nation.......looking at you DNVR Crew, the Ian Cole non-incident got blown up to where people were calling for his head. In the end, it was ALL made up aka false accusations. Still waiting for a backtrack or even an apology to Ian. Kinda similarities to Val's situation. Still, to me looks like a pain killer addiction, speaking from experience.
I mean, COL has not disclosed injuries before. The Chris Bigras concussion that Steve Downie called them out on. But, Val's story would be more believable if he hadn't gone to Stage 3. Dater thinks Val hasn't taken the whole PAP seriously. Hard to know, at this point, what is true with all the cloak & dagger.
DNVR is awful, are you surprised?
@@petrpumpkineater never, ever take anything Dater says seriously. All that guy wants is clicks, very little actual truth.
It’s why I want a statement from him
@@shaggyvondoom how about a Statement from the NHL or NHLPA........maybe even the PAP giving a Statement. It sure would clear a lot of this up.

Y'all got summa dat *scratches* Nichushkin news?
Ughhh. Hockey duldrums. I’d rather be dead than wear a Red Wings jersey.
It was a moment in time. I'm over it at this point. It wasn't a sustained rivalry like Yankees Red Sox or Michigan Ohio St. When it was happening it was great. When they separated them from the same conference it just fizzled out
I mean I agree but over time there are teams i dislike more lol
@@LockedOnAvalanche Chris, around 2014 I was hiking in the Garden of the Gods in COS and there is a family walking by and they offer to take a picture of me. Then the husband starts talking trash about The Avs and Patrick Roy. I had no Avs gear on, didn’t tell them I was an Avs fan. The family must have seen I was angry because the wife apologizes and says she’s a Blackhawks fan and they walk away. No apology from the Wings Dad. The rivalry between the team may have faded but Wings fans disrespect is real.
@@pstandleethat’s an odd interaction
@@TylrVncnt tell me about it
1.LV- Trashiest team in the league
2. Dallas- I've hated them since '98 and even more so after living in Texas
3. Detroit- Old hatreds die hard
4. Florida- Because they're trashy
5. Columbus- Because it's Ohio
6. Toronto-1967
7. Every team in the central besides Chicago
8. Calgary- Where dreams go to die
9. Any team in Commiefornia
10. Seattle- Because their jerseys were designed by a Walgreens employee
I don’t mind this list
Thank God he's your problem and not the Stars 😂
My no-trade list:
1. Detroit - Who wants to live there? And also, we still HATE that team.
2. Columbus - Completely irrelevant franchise
3. Minnesota - I hate them, obviously
4. Edmonton - I hate them, obviously
5. Ottawa - Another completely irrelevant franchise
6. Philadelphia - No thanks on playing for those fans
7. Toronto - No thanks on playing with all of that pressure. Those fans are psycho
8. Chicago - Who wants to live in that crime-ridden city? Plus, I hate them.
9. Dallas - Ugly, ugly uniforms and all once again…we hate them
10. Florida - Besides these last 2 seasons, they have been irrelevant for their entire existence and they will go back to that within the next 5 years or so.
Do we still hate Detroit though? Definitely not like we used to? That rivalry ran it's course. It was a moment in hockey history. But it was a great time.
Robocop
@@LockedOnAvalanche create a poll and ask Avs fans if they still hate Detroit. I’d be shocked if most said no. But also, who would want to live there?? lol
@@EnjoyerofMiserableMarinersBsbl oh I'm sure the vast majority still do just out of the fact there WAS a rivalry. So a lot will hang on to that and carry it with them forever.
Why does everyone think Vegas weather or our current Denver weather is "nice"? It's too damn Hot and you know it:)
I lived in Denver (a suburb) for 15 years, and now I live in Vegas. Colorado is beautiful and has great weather, but I chose to move to Vegas. Hot, yes, but I still prefer that over having to drive in the snow.
Everyone has their preferences with weather. To me it doesn't matter. I'll deal with whatever the temp decides to be that day
@@LockedOnAvalanche fair enough.....February year round is my pipe dream
@@LockedOnAvalanche Billy Connolly once said "There's no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong clothing."
Who is gonna want Val? Would you seriously trade FOR him? End his contract and send him packing. There's nothing we can get for him.
It's a nightmare situation if they buy him out. His contract will be against their cap in different amounts for the next 12 years.
I've said for several years now that the Avalanche medical staff is complete trash. Fire them all
Val needs to be shipped out asap waste of money. Always is screwing the team over. Dont like the guy never will. Two seasons you screwed us, time to move on. Your a supposed professional go play in the khl again.
