Post-Game Talk: Avs and Big Z hit the Jackpot in Vegas

[Pierce Hawthorne]

We need to get this back on track. Our loss against the Blues on Monday was clearly due to the fact the PGT wasn't posted before the GDT.

Anyway, great job from Zadorov once again. Really think he might be turning the page and developing into that do it all #1C that we thought he could be a few years ago. The way he uses his size down low and just intimidates his way to the front of the net all the time is fantastic. It was particularly funny watching Reeves just step aside and allow Zads that free goal in the 2nd period.

Was also great to see Colin Wilson last until the 2nd period before passing away(RIP).

The news of Cale Makar getting sent to the AHL mid game was quite the shock. But I guess it's something we all should have seen coming lately with his play deteriorating.

I'm not really sure how AJ Greer was able to appear out of nowhere from the penalty box, climb the top of the glass and bodyslam Paul Stastny mid game either. I'm sure he'll get an NHL suspension to go along with his AHL suspension for that trickery.

Oh and of course, nothing topped the Tyson Jost hat trick. The man is really proving to be quite the player. Looking forward to the Hall + Hughes for Jost trade in a few months time.



Overall. A solid 8/10 game and 2 huge points towards our quest for a 94-1-1 season.

Bednar was trying so hard to hide himself from the waist down on the bench to mask the fact that he'd lost his pants last night at Mandalay Bay pool party, but he's too tall. Nice try Bedsy!

Well, you just made it ahead of the GDT.

And why did they let him on the PA at center ice?

Other than that this joke is done.

I personally enjoyed Z's celebration of his second goal, but I think the whole riding his hockey stick around the rink like Harry Potter for over 15 minutes was a tad excessive. To be fair though, who is going to tell Z to stop? He'd smash them like a tent peg.

 

[Avsboy]

Z accidentally smashed Wilson. Poor guy, he had to be taken out on a stretcher.

 

[RockyMtnRedhawk]

Talked to PEB after the game, and he's hosting an afterparty for all Avs fans at Chateau Night Club at the Eiffel Tower. See you there.

Did it really seem that out of place?

 

[Spender]

Can't believe Rantanen is already leading the National Sledge Hockey League, why couldn't he play like that for us?

I think you missed some of the context, it was actually an anti-semantics rant. Calvert apparently just wants us to stop overthinking linguistics.

Man, I know all the kids left in tears, but wasn't it a bit extreme to cancel all future Nevada Days?

Considering what happened to Reilly Smith, I wouldn't be surprised if they canceled Nevada altogether.

 

[Boulder Avalanche]

I was not expecting Giguère to cause a blackout in the stadium so he could address the partying culture that led to Wilson needing to be resurrected after a wild night out. It has been really handy that Avalanche have hired a full-time voodoo priest on staff to resurrect Colin Wilson for every game.

Remember when Forsberg tricked the Knights by wearing a Forsberg mask?

Can you guys believe how trashed I got with all of the points MacK n Landy scored this game and the shots I had to take?

Reminds me of the time I watched the Goonies and took a shot every time someone said "you guys".

I died of alcohol poisoning twice in the first 30 minutes.

 

[Freudian]

Who would have thought Burakovski would be the guy to break Darryl Sittler's record?

 

[wayninja]

Classy move by Stastny to carry Wilsons body off the ice like that.

 

[Foppberg]

I was initially so confused.

Ah, I guess this cow wasn't milked dry after all.

 

[forsbergavs32]

I can’t believe Jost scored a double hat trick.

Congratulations to Cale Makar on his first Regular season NHL goal

Regular season I meant.
