GDT: Game XI: Vancouver @ Colorado *Return of the Man Rocket, Boy Wonder, & Rosy Cheeks* 9pm ET / 7pm MT

[Grigowski]

Great game and win. I really hope this win dont comes with a heavy price regarding a concussion of Byram.......

 

[Arto Kilponen]

Toews got a bit more responsibility, but been a slow start for him so far. Two points and a +3 from two games, that's a bit too low and thus the ice-time isn't yet as high as it should be.

 

[TruePowerSlave]

Toews is just awesome, ridiculous trade to get the guy for two 2nds.

Logging the most ice time once again, looks like he will eat the most minutes again and essentially be used like a #1D.

 

[Metallo]

f*** it's straight to the jaw, not the nose.

It looks like Horvat knows Bo is there. He does not play the puck on purpose with his stick and elbows him.

It amazing there is no penalty on the play. Why does an elbow have to be intentional to be called? I don't think it's in the rule book. If you have to be responsible of your stick you need to be responsible of your body also.

Horvat even jumps, it's a reverse hit with elbow up. He knows what he's doing.

Hmmm...

The Broncos trade Von Miller to LA then beat the Cowboys into the ground.

The Avs have MacKinnon out of the lineup for a game and put up 7.

How shite is Q. Hughes btw

Looks like what you'd get if Girard had some sort of Freaky Friday deal where his skills got swapped with a beerleaguer and he didn't realise

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Looked like a normal hockey play to me.

Horvat doesn’t leave his feet, he gets positioning on Byram and the elbow comes up in an awkward/unintentional manner when they got jammed together.

Nothing wrong there.

I hope BB is okay.

I had company over so I was only half watching the first period, went back and rewatched it this morning. Holy crap, the defense was good. I’m sure things look a little better than normal because Vancouver is terrible but wow we finally got to see a full D lineup and what a difference it makes.

Really hoping Byram is okay, he could have had three assists in the first period if Helm and LOC were capable of finishing anything. That shift Landeskog scored his goal on and Byram-Makar were together, lol holy crap total dominance fueled from the defensive pair.

That first period showed both the strength of having Byram-Makar together and the lulz of having them run their own pairs and having one of them on the ice 80% of the time.

As long as we can keep Byram brains from turning into scrambled eggs, #blessed.

It is confirmed. This team lives and dies with Nuke.

The only thing that holds this mess together

 

[AvsGuy]

Great game from the Avs but man the Canucks made us look like world beaters, I don't remember seeing a team back into the defensive zone just to stand around as much as they did last night

 

[ASmileyFace]

Statement game needed here. If they lose after blowing a third period lead again I think I'll have to avoid this place for a couple weeks lol

That was the definition of a statement game. Good shit.

Hope Bo is okay

 

[Hesher]

Hey, we had our entire defense healthy for almost a full period. Progress

Rightfully so. That is the dirty play, not Horvat's elbow.

The guy straight up swung his stick at Sherwood's head. I'd give him 5+ games for it.

Nuggets won with Jokic suspended

As someone that doesn't follow the NBA, Jokic sounds like someone putting Joe Sakic together as one name.

Nikola Jokic is the reigning MVP of NBA, so a really big name in the sports. Nikola Jokić - Wikipedia

Yeah they definitely have quit on Green, especially EP40. I've never seen him look so utterly disengaged. That turnover forced by Byram that ended up in the goal was way, way too easy.

I don't know who gets fired first, him or Bowness, but I'm guessing one of them will be the next bench boss to get the boot.

[Ceremony]

Oh great, I put our scorers on as my lottery numbers tonight and now I'm not going to win

 

[The Kingslayer]

2 I thought. Also, did halak smack that into his own net?

Turns out my eyes didnt deceive me. Halak smacked that into his own net. Mikko goal.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Called it when it happened. JTC tryin to convince me it was his. No chance bud.

Can’t blame him for trying with Lauren in the house.
