Jared Bednar likes to tinker, but this #Avs team has been so consistently good they haven't given him many reasons to.
After 30 games, he decided to try some new things anyway. And the Avs just keep rolling.

#Avs Joel Kiviranta had an eye issue last night. Jared Bednar said it's possible he'll be able to play Saturday.
Bednar also said they could have a better idea for when Logan O'Connor can return ... after they see how the next week or two goes.

Bednar on Minnesota getting Quinn Hughes.
“They’re better. They’re immediately better.”
Said the Avs talked about getting home-ice advantage for playoffs before camp and it comes up periodically.
“It should always be in the back of our mind, especially this year.”

This was, in Game 32, the first time this season the #Avs did not have a top line of Artturi Lehkonen, Nathan MacKinnon and Martin Necas.
Jared Bednar said he liked how Gavin Brindley finished the last game on the top line and wanted to give him another look.

Said we’ll likely see a similar lineup tomorrow as Kiviranta is feeling good and could play.

Over the years, I’ve heard some authorities repudiate that quote and others venerate it- of course without ever mentioning the historical context.
Bednar is having it both ways. It’s seemingly comforting, but ultimately meaningless and illusory like pretty much all of their promises.

Gavin Brindley is starting this game on the top line. Martin Necas is starting this game on the third line.
#Avs coach Jared Bednar said two nights ago that Necas a) wasn't very good and b) has also been sick for like four days and fighting through it.

Jared Bednar said Joel Kiviranta was dealing with an eye issue but should be good and could be an option for tomorrow.
Logan O’Connor is dealing with something new and there’s not much of an update outside of assessing the best way to rehab and treat this new thing. It’s not hip surgery-related.

The Logan O’Connor situation is clear as mud.
“It’s a complicated one because he’s going through something that they’re diagnosing and trying to figure out the right course of action is to get him back (to) return to play,” Bednar said.

Gavin Brindley will return for the #Avs tonight. Zakhar Bardakov will come out of the lineup.
Jared Bednar said Scott Wedgewood tweaked his back on the Forsberg shootout collision, not a head issue. He was on the ice today. Blackwood is starting.
The update on Logan O’Connor … was a non-update.

My wife to me this morning: Didn’t Bednar call that quote BS? Yes he tried (see Faithful Parents and Wayward Children, Sustaining Hope While Overcoming Misunderstanding, March 2014 Ensign). But then the historians found the blessing, written in Joseph Smith’s hand, that validates Whitney’s statement
![[3] This blessing likely served the basis for the famous refrain of Orson F. Whitney, Sarah Whitney's nephew: "The Prophet Joseph Smith declared-and he never taught more comforting doctrine-that the eternal sealings of faithful parents and the divine promises made to them for valiant sevice int he Cause
of Truth, would save not only themselves, but likewise their posterity. Though some of the sheep may wander, the eye of the Shepherd is upon them, and sooner or later they will feel the tentacles of Divine Providence
reaching out after them and drawing them back to the fold. Either in this life or in the life to come, they will return." This passage was frequently quoted by LDS leaders for decades, but has recently been challenged by Apostle David A. Bednar, who claims it does not accurately reflect Joseph Smith's thinking.
Perhaps the release of this 1843 document, which ties the idea to Joseph Smith's own hand, will lead to a resurgence of the theory.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gskvhjs4laeactvary6brxv2/bafkreiamnbrms4b3yxvppiq5uodvwaemedjm2kk5mggogpjrpqjyjtzx6u@jpeg)

Per Jared Bednar, there's nothing he can share on Logan O'Connor. They're hoping they get some good information on how to get him back to playing, but they don't have info to share just yet.

I didn't like how Girard got outskated in the only Florida goal. Bednar splitting Makar and Toews is very telling in how much trust he has with that 3rd pairing.
I've been vocal about it, and it's one of the few weaknesses of this team that needs to be addressed before playoff time. #GoAvsGo

Per Jared Bednar, Scott Wedgewood is going to start for the #Avs tonight.
Martin Necas is under the weather. He was at the arena this morning but was sent home early. Game-time decision.
Gavin Brindley could be an option to replace him.

Rodriquez to me fits what they've been trying to develop. Hope Bednar doesn't get picked.

“Goalie interference is a joke. If that’s not goalie interference, I don’t know what is. You can’t just shove the goalie’s pads out of the way and create a loose puck.”
