It would be the most Avs thing in the world if the Blues win tonight and then tomorrow, the Avs are up a goal late only for the Blues to tie it up and then lose in overtime but still go to the playoffs

Yup... Occam's razor .. it'll happen after 8 minutes of turtle-ling,, and be deflected in by Z's rear end.

And then in OT, STL will pull the goalie and allow us to have a breakaway just to troll us.

We lucked out with Keith winning the game for the Hawks on Wednesday. Please don't waste it tomorrow.

It's fan appreciation night, you're playing at home, The Can should be rocking... please come back to life and give us a great game.

Lmao if that happens I'd laugh. Can't even deny it. That'd be one of the best troll jobs in hockey history.

As a preds fans who is pulling for you tomorrow, if the Blues were to actually do that youd go to the playoffs. I'm pretty sure pulling your goalie in OT makes you forfeit the loser point if you lose.

That would be like signing someone to an offer sheet and not knowing you're going to have to put him on waivers.

Shhhhh ... don't tell Yeo that

Hoping if it goes to OT, STL celebrate and to avoid injury, they pull the goal and let us score right away... not knowing of that rule

We've been saying stuff like if Avs can't win they don't deserve being in the playoffs for a while now after they blew so many chances to pull ahead in the race. Well tomorrow if they can't beat the team they are chasing for the last chance, and playing a team that played the night before and had to travel, and a home game as well, they truly don't deserve being in the playoffs or even this close.

Nashville is just salivating at the thought of playing us over the Blues.

hillariously enough, theres a rule that says if you pull your goalie in overtime, you forfeit the point for an overtime loss should you lose the game-- not even lying its an actual rule- it just never comes up

they wanted to discourage teams playing 4-3 to get an advantage or teams if on powerplay pulling their goalie to play a 5-3

if ypu pull your goalie in overtime, you forfeit the extra point if you lose- not kidding, they made it actual rule when going to 3vs 3 overtime.

they wanted to discourage teams overc9nfident pulling their goalie to play 4-3 last e0 sevonds to gain advantage or to prevent teams that gained a powerplay pulling goalie to get a 5-3

dont know if the scenario has ever happened where team pulled goalie in 3vs 3 overtime yet and forfeited point for loss- if it has i havent heard about it

Only way I could see it happening would be in a tie breaker situation where they absolutely need a ROW win.
