[Baugh]- Bednar sur s’il envisage ou non de séparer la paire Girard-Johnson sur Twitter
Asked Bednar if he'd consider splitting up the Girard-Johnson pair. He said no and reiterated that he pinned both 5v5 goals against last night on the #Avs forwards. He said those F lapses — letting the Kings skate through untouched — led to the defensemen having bad gaps. pic.twitter.com/VorBapTlBq

I feel like bednar is the perfect combo of chill but also good lord it would be scary to get on his bad side. Tough needle to thread but seems like he does so successfully.
Can’t agree on the gap comment. The first one with them on, Girard gave him way too much space and EJ is was late to his man.
While the second, Girard just blew his gap.
He needs to separate them. That pair has been downright awful.
Makes sense really, if we’ve been watching the games where we play like ass defensively.
Can’t count how many times I scratch my head wondering why there’s always 4 dudes on 1 Avs player when he’s breaking through, but only 1 on 1, 2 on 1, or 2 on 2 when it goes the other way.
Girard/Johnson has been bad lately, but it’s true, there’s so much puck watching between Newhook and company when it’s time to play defense. It’s a power play every single time.
