GDT: Avalanche vs Penguins | 12 PM MT | Annunen's Descent into the Netherworld

[UncleRisto]

The Annunen, the Justuses of the underworld, surrounded her and passed judgment against her.
-Sumerian poem, c. 2000 BC

As the Great Flood drew nigh, a storm arose from the horizon and the Annunen lit the land aflame with their lightning.
-Mesopotamian epic, c. 1200 BC

He who fears the Annunen extends his days.
-Babylonian hymn

Never mind, Georgiev starts.

Avs are 0-2-1 in last three vs. Pittsburgh and outscored by a combined 11 to 3.

I won't be able to watch this game. I don't miss many games, so I hope to check my phone later and see a big fat W, with no injuries.

Side eye background penguin makes this the best one ever

Also - win this game early please - gold medal game it at 1 and it’ll be really annoying if it’s an exciting 3rd period

Go ahead and make it 0-3-1.

Penguins win 13-3. Ulf Samuelson with 8 apples.

Question for anybody who has gone to these matinee games…

Is the store(Altitude Authentics) open today? Schedule says closed on Sundays but I’d assume open for a game.

 

[NorthernAvsFan]

Pittsburgh isn’t that good, but you always worry about weird things happening for midday games. Hopefully the boys have been pumped full of coffee.

 

[Richard Doll]

Unfortunate that this is TNT

Radio it is...

 

[dahrougem2]

Watch them lose to the trash Penguins of all teams

 

[The Moops]

wtf is this shit? I don't want to see a GDT (no matter how epic) unless it's 20 minutes before the game

Not sure about matinees specifically but was there when Altitude was closed for their renos and, while they never opened it to the public during my trip, it was open to ticket holders during the game. Have been to a couple other arenas where the store was ‘closed’ but it was also open during the game

 

[Hennessy]

Sure, Risto. Just leave out that both the Hittites and the Assyrians considered the Annunen to be a lower, minor deity at best, and that new evidence in archeology suggests that this might be a mistranslation of "Annu En", literally "year one" and a folkish play on words meaning basically "toddlers are a handful."

 

[AvBuff]

Any Dan Carlin fans out there? We need a Hardcore History version of a GDT featuring Annunen, the Assyrian Minder of Nets.

 

[Arch angel]

Sorry, was lost in the dulcet tones of the Annunaki …. Go Noontime Avs!

 

[Snow Arc]

Time to show the Kid what he's missing.

It should be open for games from what I remember. But I usually am not going to the store during games.

Welcome home Avalanche legend Lars Eller.

[Mighty Makar]

This is definitely a L.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Welcome home Avalanche legend Lars Eller.

Does he get a tribute video?
