[tigervixxxen]

No practice Tuesday so we'll head right into the home opener on Wednesday. Then a b2b.

I think we beat Dallas.

 

[McMetal]

The goal song was the same in preseason, so sadly, we are stuck with the damn thing for another year.

Well there was a rumor that it would change, let's hope that they are right.

 

[Avs71]

This is a tough week. I could see beating Dallas 6-5 or something.

Actually, the rest of the month looks tough.

 

[AvalancheFan19]

Varalmov struggles against Dallas. Give that to Bernier.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Last year's goal song is a myth anyway. We all hate it because it has never actually been played.

L vs Boston
L vs Anaheim
W @ Dallas

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Ya know what, I'm going full optimist.


Boston - Win
Anaheim - Win
Dallas - OTL

 

[CharlesPuck]

3-0

Cake walk week.

 

[CobraAcesS]

So lets see, which games should we win, and which SHOULD we lose. Just bet on the opposite.

We should lose to Boston, should lose to Anaheim, and should win against Dallas (I think Varly is still on their wikki page).

Win, Win, loss? I'll go more realistic with Loss, Win, Loss. I'm sure Boston's coach will adjust and Bednar won't. Plus that keeps us at .500 right on the line of mediocrity.

This team also has a habit of slapping us in the face with a crap effort (turning this place cannibalistic again) after really strong games like the last one. They get a bit too happy with themselves. We'll see if that changes.

 

[UncleRisto]

L, OTW, OTL seems like a good optimistic run here.

 

[ASmileyFace]

Where is the "They better change the damn song" option in the poll?

L, W, OTL

 

[BoxOfChocolates]

Im going W-L-OTL but not sure in which order. They'll stay around .500 until EJ gets hurt in December.

 

[Ceremony]

Where's the "Goal songs are an inappropriate substitute for actual atmosphere" option?

 

[Freudian]

I have a feeling next game will be a letdown. Team coming home from a roadtrip, feeling good about themselves against a team that's upset.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Yeah I'm not feeling great about tomorrow night either. It's very tough to beat the same time twice in a row. Especially with just one day off in the middle.

I can't bring myself to like your post, but I agree lol. For the love of hockey would it be nice for them to prove us wrong.

I said this in the other thread, but looks the conversation is here. I don't really need them to win tomorrow either. Just give me a clean close game, with a 100% effort and at least common sense level choices by the coaching staff.

The one acceptable thing with this team right now should be young mistakes by the defense, and some forwards. Not things like having Comeau on the ice too much, and stupid choices as far as matchups and PK personnel.

 

[dahrougem2]

Scratch Blake Comeau

 

[Raucherhusten]

4 more Pts in the books after this week

OT Win vs Bos
Reg Win vs Ans
OT Loss @ Dallas

That makes 5 pts ... hmm

5 more Pts in the books after this week

That is 1 ugly lineup lol

 

[tigervixxxen]

Ugh those lines

 

[Cousin Eddie]

I don't think Anaheim are as great as others make them out to be but I realize they're likely still pretty strong. In saying that they're in big time injury trouble right now and if the Avs going to steal a win or two from them this year, tomorrow night is as good an opportunity as they'll get.

Hope they come out flying and don't take how bad Boston are for granted.
