GDT: Avalanche @ Blues

[Vladys Gumption]

All there star players have been playing like dog **** since Stastny left town. Duch boy, McKinny, Landena & O'Really have all been sucking hind tit all year and I love it. So glad the hype on #29 has died down, that **** was getting ridiculous. #LGB

There's no question losing Stastny hurt them significantly.

They hype on Mackinnon is real though. He's having a poor season, but he's going to be a stud.

I used to hate JR so much back in the day when he was on Chicago. It's nice to see how professional he is as a broadcaster now and really seems he has a great appreciation for this Blues team as a hockey enthusiast.

I feel so bad for Varlamov.....

I feel so bad for Varlamov.....

After what he "allegedly" did last year, I hope nothing but the worst for him.

Real or not, he has not been good at all this season, there was talk on the main board about being a generational talent, and one day better than Crosby. That's the crap hype I'm glad has died down.

Ah yes.....i forgot about that.

My pitty is formally withdrawn

Man that was fun. The avs do not disappoint. Blues had a great game tonight but Colorado looks terrible. Iginla is hilarious, too bad he didn't find someone to "contribute" with. Would love to have seen the result of that.

Same **** that guy right in his *******.

Agreed. Very talented skater but huge defensive liability.

 

[KirkOut]

Great team game. Exactly what you want to see in the last game before a long break - everybody giving it their all

 

[KirkOut]

Lol, did you guys see Backes waving (and saying) "bye bye" to the Avs players as they were leaving the ice.

Reminded me of good ol' Vir:

It would have been entertaining, but no one had a reason to fight him. We're wining and they weren't gooning it up.

 

[taylord22]

Agreed. Very talented skater but huge defensive liability.

He's pretty solid all around. His problem is between the ears, and at 19, that's not a huge surprise. Haven't watched many Avs games, but the games I've seen, he's gotten really wrapped up in the grit game. By contrast, when he has the puck, he's unwilling to go into the strong areas. A lot more predictable than he was at the end of the year last year.

I can't see many sub 70pt seasons in his future. His talent level is sickening.

 

[c-carp]

Very proud of the Blues! They played about as complete of a game as I think they can play were pretty dominant. Disappointed if I am an Avs fan not much pushback in any way, shape or form from them

 

[c-carp]

It would have been entertaining, but no one had a reason to fight him. We're wining and they weren't gooning it up.

Iginla is a pretty good fighter, anyone with the exception of Reaves would have most likely gotten worked

 

[Fred Murtz]

Last minunte of game, Elliott saves, Backes says goodbye to Lanche players.

 

[Robb_K]

Real or not, he has not been good at all this season, there was talk on the main board about being a generational talent, and one day better than Crosby. That's the crap hype I'm glad has died down.

That won't be McKinnon, but maybe McDavid.

 

[Dbrownss]

The real tragedy is here is moose not getting B2B shutouts. It was there.....3 freakin turn overs and off Stastny's stick. Drinks are not on Elliott tonight

 

[c-carp]

Ah yes.....i forgot about that.

My pitty is formally withdrawn

What did he allegedly do? Not being a smartass, I don't know

 

[c-carp]

Nevermind, I knew about Varlamov, I thought you guys were talking about Nathan MacKinnon

 

[The Note]

I'd love to get a gif of Backes waving goodbye.

 

[Total Bender]

Iginla is a pretty good fighter, anyone with the exception of Reaves would have most likely gotten worked

Maybe Iginla WAS a good fighter. I think age has caught up to him.

 

[c-carp]

Maybe Iginla WAS a good fighter. I think age has caught up to him.

He still would have worked anyone on the Blues except for Reaves, we have a huge drop off after Reaves in regards to fighting

 

[c-carp]

Who was Iggy fighting in your clip? It won't load here

 

[FloridaBlue]

Just went back and watched Backes mouth "bye bye" and wave the Avs off the ice and I'm dying.
