Game 1 WCQF: Colorado Avs (WC2) at Nashville Predators (1) 9:30 PM ET | SN, TVAS, NBCSN, FS-TN, ALT

Meh, Avs the better team through two periods. Preds had an insane 3rd. Play the same way on Saturday and they might steal one of the away games.

We're gunna have to open the flood gates on Rinne cause he stole a couple tonight.

Same could probably be said about Colorado’s fan base if we are going down this road

If we're being completely honest, both of those things are stupid things to say

Why stoop?

 

[bdub24]

There is photographic evidence of what a great host city Denver is to visiting fans, wish I could find it, but it's three Nashville fans watching the game in Denver and just blasted out of their minds. Both towns know how to have a great time. Can't hate the Avs, especially now that asshat Roy is gone.

 

[Foppberg]

By the whining from a few about a chant that is supposed to be a jimmy rustler, I can safely assume that that poster reps 100% of avs fans.

That is your prerogative, but says more about yourself than anything.

 

[HockeyFan100]

Good game Preds fans, see you on Saturday.

Avs did better than expected, I can't be mad

 

[Mighty Makar]

Sorry for acting a little salty. Preds’ were the best team in the league for a reason and I did predict them to win Lord Stanley at the start of the season.

Why stoop?

I’m not actually trying to insult Colorado’s fan base, just making a point to the one Avs fan

 

[caslava]

Yikes, how many of those players could even play in the AHL? The country is kinda barren for hockey talent lately lol

I guess Soderberg really does suck!

I’d say roughly 5%. And yes we are arguably out of the top 10 internationally. Most of the teams couldn’t even compete in the ECHL !

 

[triggrman]

I’m willing to bet Preds’ fans don’t have a clue about any other teams in the league. They get told what to do at the game and do it. They’re loud? Yay!

You win...

Wait what's the bet again. And how much are you betting.

 

[cgf]

What's funny is the Aves have barely been around longer than the Preds. Not to mention Denver once had so few hockey fans they lost their team. About a big of a hockey town as Atlanta...

I love you NEB Can you hold me in your arms & tell me about how RNH 2.0 is going to bury us until tonight gets better?

 

[a mangy Meowth]

I’d say roughly 5%. And yes we are arguably out of the top 10 internationally. Most of the teams couldn’t even compete in the ECHL !

Ouch!! Soderberg should just retire

You think he's gonna change his mind? lol don't stoop man

 

[Oilers Propagandist]

Its literally 2 guys.

na. bouts tree fiddy.

 

[Perratrooper]

f***, some of us "Avs fans" need to simmer down with being sore losers here. We lost a game where we couldn't capitalise on our opportunities and ultimately allowed Nashville to take over. We need to have better special teams and continue to pester with speed and this series could very well be a good one.

Was not impressed with MacKinnon's whining at the end of the game, I really hope he doesn't allow Nashville to get him off his game.

 

[caslava]

Ouch!! Soderberg should just retire

He in fact should come over and check it out. I think he could potentially slot in next to ziggy palffy and Jozef stumpel if he worked on his fundamentals a little more.

 

[CMDEADLY]

I get you, just the whole idea our fanbase is somehow not real hockey fans always is a needle in my side. The marketing department has done such a fantastic job of generating interest in the game and to get a ground swell of support for the team. It’s just annoying that old thought processes still show up.

 

[Gnashville]

Most Preds fans' hockey lineage predates the franchise by a wide margin. I grew up a Whalers fan in CT; went to college in Nashville right as we got the franchise and the rest is history. We have a ton of Thrashers fans, we have snowbirds who simply migrated to a different team, etc. Not sure a gross generalization with zero empirical evidence on an internet forum is a compelling datapoint.

It was a great game; credit to the Avs.

Hey I was born in Tennessee and my family lineage here goes back to before Tennessee was a state and I have been a hockey fan for at least 30 years. So yeah the natives love this team too!!!

 

[King Weber]

Its literally 2 guys.

unfortunately that's the way it goes in the internet, few bad apples spoil the whole bunch.

glad to see that not everyone acts like those two though.

 

[Sacha Baron Corbin]

You think he's gonna change his mind? lol don't stoop man

Yeah you’re right lol, I just think resorting to the bandwagon argument kills anyone’s credibility right away

 

[cgf]

Sorry for acting a little salty. Preds’ were the best team in the league for a reason and I did predict them to win Lord Stanley at the start of the season.

You're usually not like that man. So just chill out, smoke a bit, n go to bed

 

[Foppberg]

Same could probably be said about Colorado’s fan base if we are going down this road

(The majority of Avs fans on this site seem really cool though, just making a point for arguments sake)

Why would anyone jump on our bandwagon though? For the legal 'grass' I suppose

 

[a mangy Meowth]

Yeah you’re right lol, I just think resorting to the bandwagon argument kills anyone’s credibility right away

There are bandwagoners and elitist shitheads in every fanbase, it's a non-argument, it's a potshot. Fanbases are too big and diverse to generalize

 

[jsalz16]

Cool story bro

Firstly, the notion that Soderberg, a Masterton nominee, is dirty, is beyond comical. Secondly, my 8 year old daughter doesn't say 'cool story bro" anymore

 

[BelovedIsles]

Forsberg outplayed both Landeskog and Mack. On his first goal he outworked Landeskog. Preds slowly took over.

Filthy second goal by FF. Would love him on the Isles.

 

[Predigree]

What other Teams?
