Now, let me just acknowledge my clear Avs bias as I proceed with my nominations. :) <br /><br />The Renly & Loras Award: Gabe Landeskog & Erik Johnson (the tweets pretty much speak for themselves)<br /> <br />The Daenerys Targaryen, the First of Her Name, Queen of Meereen, Queen of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, Protector of the Realm, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, called Daenerys Stormborn, the Unburnt, Mother of Dragons Award: Ryan O'Reilly (Factor, or my favorite Radar)<br /> <br />The John Snow Award: Ryan Kesler (I'm pained admitting this)<br /> <br />The Olyvar the Squire Award: Sidney Crosby<br /> <br />The Margaery Tyrell Award: Dustin Penner <br /> <br />The Loras Tyrell Award: Semyon Varlamov (It's not long, but it is perfection)<br /> <br />The Jamie Lannister Award: Kevin Bieksa<br /> <br />The Theon Greyjoy Award: Maxim Lapierre<br /> <br />The Jamie/Brienne vs the Bear Award: Patrick Bordeleau vs. Biz (really Bordy should just be handed this award. No need for any other nominations. The man is a beast.)<br /> <br />The Robb Stark Award: Ryan Wilson (not for it's severity, but for the heartbreak it caused me)<br /> <br />The King Joffrey Award: Raffi Torres<br /> <br />The Drogon the Dragon Award: VARLY!!! (Sorry, but I'm not sorry for all the feels I have for his Russian perfection)<br /> <br />The Arya Stark Award: Gabe Landeskog (He's not even my favorite, but you can't deny how perfect the Swedes are)<br /> <br />The Tyrion Lannister Award: Ryan Wilson (Again, he's my favorite so how could I NOT nominate him?!)<br /> <br />The Bran Stark Awards : Brendan Gallagher<br /> <br />The Ned Stark Award: Steve Downie!

No, I don...I would be an excellent goalie coach. No, I don't know a single thing about being a goalie. HOWEVER, I would keep Varly very relaxed...and flexible.<br />Foote was one of my all-time favorite players. I cried like a baby at his last game. I would be beyond thrilled for him to be the D coach. <br />I like Torts too...usually. I kind of hated the way he treated Vinny Lecavalier. I think he would be hilarious in Dallas and actually a pretty good fit. I don't see him fitting in well in Vancouver either. Seriously - Kesler, Bieksa, and Burrows would be the death of him with their shenanigans. <br />As for the pick - it's tough. They need D way more than another center. Plus I love, love, love when Americans go first in the draft. But as ridiculously young as this team is I almost think they should trade the pick. As for Weber, yes please. I would be the first person waiting in line to buy his jersey. And then I would turn this entire blog into an ode to his playoff beard.Swords and Stickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01878705099156456707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3029203031490278758.post-2413248980414384702013-06-01T19:01:42.368-07:002013-06-01T19:01:42.368-07:00Well we kind of did have one, but he was only part...Well we kind of did have one, but he was only part time and quite obviously did not do that stellar of a job since they let him go in the great coaching clean out in April. I know Roy thinks a lot of Jiggy (as Jiggy does of Patty) and even referred to him as Varly's "big brother" but admitted they needed to have a goalie coach to take some of the pressure on Jiggy to mentor Semyon. I know Varly wasn't happy with Sacco (who was though) and honestly the defense in front of him this year was just terrible. I think Patrick will really be all over them to be better for Varly because if anyone knows how important defenseman are to a goalie it's him. There is also a rumor (but God I hope it's true) that Foote will come in to be a part time D coach. Really the possibility of a fight breaking out just got higher if that's indeed the case. :) <br /><br />And personally I really like Torts. He's a loose cannon with his comments, but you always knew exactly how he felt. I don't see him being a fit for Vancouver, but what do you think about him in Dallas? <br /><br />I'm also in a dilemma about the possibility of us trading our pick, or even who to pick. I'd like to see MacKinnon over Jones, not to mention MacKinnon has said he'd love to play for Roy and Roy knows more about him having seen him play before. I just get kind of excited about the possibility of us getting Weber, but still being able to pick 4th. I don't know I get all kinds of tangled up around Draft time. I'll be a basket case by the actual day.

I wish Torts would end up coaching somewhere in the West. I imagine Roy would hate him. <br />I'm trying to stay positive on the Roy/Varlamov dynamic but it does make me nervous. One recent thing that is good/bad - Roy is hiring a goalie coach (good!). But how the fuck did the Avs not previously have a goalie coach (bad!)??Swords and Stickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01878705099156456707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3029203031490278758.post-90117364993635528492013-05-31T21:46:26.658-07:002013-05-31T21:46:26.658-07:00I too worry about our precious Varly. I don't...I too worry about our precious Varly. I don't know if he's excited (because he's always said Roy was his favorite player growing up) or nervous, because hello, you're playing for a hockey legend (who actually may be insane and is COMPLETELY temperamental). The one thing I'm actually happy about is that Roy mentioned in his press conference that there WILL be a goalie coach (really it's about time and it better be a full time coach!) because he would never expect his goalies to try to be him. I just want Varly to play like himself and all will be well. <br /><br />But I do want to see Patrick fight someone because I have issues and love a feisty, crazy Roy. And after living with the emotionless robot that was Sacco I just want to see some level of passion from our head coach.

I couldn't really blame Duchene if he's a little upset. A lot of what was thrown out there always had an undertone of insulting Matt. Plus, our boys have really been going through the struggles with injuries and losses all without Ryan and there could be some animosity there that he kind of needs to accept. <br /><br />But, he'll get everyone back on his side by proving he was worth the hassle when he starts scoring and being his badass self that we all know and love. :)<br /><br />And as someone who has always had lukewarm Seguin feelings......DAMN BOY! ;)<br /><br />- mizzougirl3 Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3029203031490278758.post-82272664371783639172013-03-02T16:02:48.692-08:002013-03-02T16:02:48.692-08:00I'm glad Radar's back too.

I will say this, I'm actually starting to get more mad at him than management at this point. Reports have him being offered 2 yrs for 7 million (not enough in my opinion) or 4 yrs for $17 million (better). Reports say he wants 5yrs for 5 million each year. I love the guy, but 5 million seems too much. It also seems like a slap to the face of Duchene who took the 2 yr deal. I just don't like Ryan coming across divaish and I kind of wonder how the guys are feeling about him right now. <br /><br />See, I told you. Too many upsetting feelings.
