This is confusing me. We have 4 wins when trailing after 2 and 6 wins when trailing after 1 OR 2.
See: NHL Stats
Do they mean that we complete the come-from-behind in the 3rd period each time or something?

I believe it’s anytime they are trailing and come back to win.

Basically ,The games that they get scored on first and end up winning them that is what they are counting.

We have 4 wins when allowing the first goal. NHL Stats
Maybe it's games in which they trailed at any point in the 3rd period? Not necessarily trailing after 2?

Correct, it’s trailing at any point in the 3rd period.

Question is, same line ups as last night or does Carlsson play?

 

[Ducksforcup]

Three more games this week. I suspect he plays tonight but doesn't play one of the two games later in the week?

I found it kind of odd he played in what, 5/6 straight games and all of a sudden they are going to resume the 2 games a week thing? I know he isn't playing on both games of back to backs yet.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

We've improved our shots against by like 7 shots per game which is huge, but we were so terrible last year that we're still 8th-worst in giving up shots despite the improvement.

Broooooooo. What is this ridiculous stat. Are the Ducks really this undisciplined?

Lots of home games in there mixed in with a winning streak.

Don't think Leo plays tonight. Expect him in Friday and Sunday's game.

I'm usually wrong, so am posting this. lol.

After last night's broadcast, really have to appreciate Ahlers and Hazy. It did get better though after the Duck tied it, seemed the homer-ism switched to the Ducks. But if they said "Smashville" one more time was gonna mute it, lol.

As a Colorado fan, let me just say you guys have one of the better announcing teams in the league. Avs team by comparison sucks ass and everyone knows it. I'm not a big Hayward fan, but that's more of a subjective thing for me.

Absolutely unprofessional for them to refer to Nashville as Smashville in a "national" broadcast. Leave that crap to their crappy announce team.

 

[Arthuros]

I don't expect to win, but I expect effort for the whole game.

...who am I kidding, I expect only 3rd period effort AND a win.

Don't even know how Colorado is this year. Playing last night and traveling is going to be tough but throw some fresh bodies in there, one of them being 6'3" and could go a long way.

 

[branmuffin17]

What is this team that's in the top 3rd for GA?!?

Def expect Leo in tonight. Really hope Z and Drysdale are back in soon, the silence there is driving me crazy.

I feel like they were just talking more about which ever team was playing better. :/

Yup that’s why it switched towards the end. The “Smashville” thing was just a little inappropriate. Imo.

 

[Bleak]

Yet. Gibby and Gudas didn't get one of the 3-stars in the game SMH

[la patineuse]

I don't know what to expect for the backend of a back-to-back, especially against a contender like the Avs, but I hope they play a more complete game than they have lately.

This. People need to not be so hung up on the “Two games a week!” thing and look at the spacing on when he plays. He played 10/21 (Saturday), then skipped the next two games and played Thursday and Saturday - had a 4 day break. The following week had only 2 games - Monday and Wednesday, he played both. 3 day break until Sunday 11/5, then also played Tuesday and Friday. Friday was the extra day when Zegras was out, you’d assume that was scheduled as an off day to give another 4 day break until Sunday the 12th vs the Sharks. If he takes off both the away games this week, he gets another 4 day break.

It’s not the number of games in a week, and it’s not trying to “rest” him. It’s finding the time to workout and actually build his body up rather than tear it down. It’s also not a suicide pact to lose, so if he plays an extra game here and there due to roster issues, that’s not them being inconsistent. It also appears to be a normal Sunday-Saturday ”week”.

I'm not sure it's just the broadcast media the votes for that. Someone mentioned a few weeks back and also that those votes are turned in before the game ends so there is time not accounted for.
