WCQF Game 1: Calgary Flames vs Colorado Avalanche | 8 PM MST | CBC, NBCSN, TVAS, SN, ALT

[Pizza the Hutt]

What a pro, that was amazing.

 

[Paper]

Mike Smith has more points than all the Avalanche combined.

 

[Foppberg]

Dagger.

No goal in game 1 of a series is a dagger. Game 1 is always a feel out game.

 

[DCDM]

We got this baby!!!

 

[I am not exposed]

Is Varlamov starting next game?

Grubauer has been good.

 

[DropIt]

Gaudreau jumped out of the way...

.. of a knee

Zadorov clearly cant skate on the same ice so his tactics have changed

 

[Snakepit]

Smith even gets the assist. That's so awesome

 

[Tralfamadore]

Fact is backlund knows how to shut down Mackinnon.

Dunno about that. He's got 5 shots on goal and has been one of the better players on the ice but ya nothing to show for it.

 

[cgf]

Well, Calgary deserved this win, but god damn it Mike Smith. Despite Calgary's superior depth, he was the difference today.

 

[JeremyTB]

Calgary lucky they got Colorado and not Dallas. Avs are horrible. made Smith look like Prime Patrick Roy. San Jose and Vegas will beat eachother up while Calgary gets to sweep the Avs without having to pay the price since the Avs are also super soft.

Lmao ur signature made me laugh

 

[Snakepit]

I thought the Avs had better goaltending? I heard they had more offense?

HF getting a lesson in seeing what Playoff Smith and Playoff Grubauer are all about

 

[BlueDream]

The Avs depth is seriously that bad that they need their top line out there in a 4-0 game?

Jesus. Come on...

 

[JPeeper]

Mike Smith 1 A
Colorado's top line 0 Points.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Smith with more points than goals allowed.

Avs trying to goon it up

 

[GirardIsStupid]

Bednar: Were in it to win this! Dorion: Were a team! Brothers from another mother.

 

[2023FriendshipTour]

True that! Meant for this game. Series will be close.

He kicked at the puck to keep it in...Watch the replay

 

[DCDM]

Avs are gooning it up

 

[Pizza the Hutt]

You don't want to goon with us Colorado. Our goons are ivy-league educated.

 

[JPeeper]

Landeskog with a slash to Lindholm when the game is over.

Avalanche fans told me he wasn't a dirty piece of dog shit? Dude is straight a garbage truck of sore loser.

 

[John Eichel da GOAT]

The score was not indicative of the game by any means. This could have easily been a win for the Avs if it werent for Mike Smith and I never thought I would be saying he was the difference in a positive way for the Flames.

 

[Tralfamadore]

We just can't compete with the Flames depth plain and simple. Smith was the difference maker tonight then the Flames took over.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Is Varlamov starting next game?

Why would he? Grubauer played well.

 

[Foppberg]

You don't want to goon with us Colorado. Our goons are ivy-league educated.

Clearly you're not aware of our Harvard graduate goon.
