Pre-Game Talk: 2023/24 Training Camp

[Ceremony]

Number 50? Ew.

 

[Avs2022]

Most likely the game 1 lineup:



BTW, what a shitty season opener we have this year in LA. Super late night game on a national broadcast in an arena that looks terrible through a camera.

Well, I will be at the game so I'm pumped. I'm an Orange County, CA resident.

That he does

If he does this in an Avs jersey he'll break every bone in his body, and tear every ligament, before falling through the ice to the depths of hell.

On the bright side, that'll be the final human sacrifice needed for us to win the Cup again.

That he does

Well at least his groin doesn't seem to be fragile

 

[CobraAcesS]

Really like this move from the Avs. He fits into the profile of goalies the Avs like and currently fit into their defensive play. Prosvetov has the mobility, agility, and size combination the team will love. Shows he can be patient on his edges and has decent structure. He's done well toning down his play and playing within the crease rather than being an unmitigated scrambling mess. The Yotes did a good job getting him to take a jump last year, Parkkila should be able to get him ready to be the 2G here. Potentially for awhile too.

He's a Russian goalie too, which means he's probably even crazier than Nuke.

This should be interesting, cannot wait to see him doing cartwheels in front if the Denver fans.

Number 50? Ew.

If he changes it to 47 we know we have a conspiracy on our hands.

 

[expatriatedtexan]

Go ahead and make it official, give him #2.

 

[AllAboutAvs]

I hope he does cartwheels right in front of Trash Bin.

 

[The Kingslayer]

I remember Prosvetov having a really good game against the Avs. Him and Raanta.

So almost every team has a news article about their final roster and how that's a big deal. I head over to Avs.com and we have the main story of us signing somebody named "Saige."

Who the hell is in charge of Avs communication because it seems like a vacant position?!

They’ll probably make a Jost-swooning post before they release one about the current Avs roster.

From now on it's Valeri Wednesdays, cyka.

To continue fan engagement from Tyson Tuesdays, I'm introducing Valeri Wednesdays, and Nate Guenin Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.

NHL Power Rankings: Where every team stands entering the season
NHL Power Rankings: Where every team stands entering the season

#1

 

[GoNordiquesGo]

#1 seems a bit high... but honestly, pretty much every ranking published in the last month has a combination of these 7 teams Col, Dal, Edm, Vegas, Car, NJ and Tor in a variety of order. But almost always the same 7 teams. That's textbook definition of top contenders this year.

 

[Balthazar]

 

[AvsGuy]

Every NHL publication ranking teams:

1. Colorado/Carolina
2. Carolina/Dallas
3. OK f*** sakes, this HAS to be the year Edmonton finally does the thing
4. Dallas/New Jersey
5. Toronto/Colorado
6. Toronto/New Jersey
7. Vegas

 

[AvsFan2123]

So do we know what’s happening with Kiviranta, Kozun, and Holland? I was going to pull up the Eagles Twitter/X account after this.

 

[Bender]

Someone say things about Ahcan.

I don't care if they pronounce it 'Ah-san'... he will always be Chaka to me.
