[Joe Sakic]

Lets get this one!!!

Go

Excited to see if Giggy plays good or not. Also even more excited to see Berra play again. I pray he doesn't suck again or this board will implode lol

 

[The Merchant]

Jiggy...?

 

[tigervixxxen]

Also, FYI on the Avs website they say game 1 and 2 are sold out

 

[BoxOfChocolates]

The Avs better be ready to kick some Oiler ***

 

[AvsWraith]

I know Chicago and St. Louis are definitely psyched that Giggy is starting.

 

[Taak19]

Glad I won't be watching this one. Don't want to see us get outworked by the perennial lottery team as usual.

It's frustrating as hell, isn't it? Don't know why this matchup is seemingly such a bad one for COL year in, year out.

 

[CoachBadkitten]

Man, that shorty is fun to watch.

They play right into Oilers hands by trying to outrun them.

Also I expect that Wilson will light up Hall once again.

 

[HockeyFan100]

I know Chicago and St. Louis are definitely psyched that Giggy is starting.

They won't be once Giggy gets the W.

 

[AvsWraith]

They won't be once Giggy gets the W.

Ha, him and what Tim Army.

 

[MonsterMack]

I forget, which game is Berra going to start?

 

[the_fan]

I forget, which game is Berra going to start?

1st 2 games of the 1st round

 

[tigervixxxen]

San Jose

 

[MonsterMack]

1st 2 games of the 1st round

San Jose

thank you

 

[Skip2myBordyloo]

If we shut down the Hall line we should win this, it's all the Oilers really have excluding Perron.

 

[UncleRisto]

Ha, no one on the Oilers is a plus player?

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

We suck vs Oilers. Normally we play solid defensive game, but when we are playing Oilers we lower us to same level as their tactics are: HAWAI hockey and they are really good at it.

I hope we win. Should be fun game to watch at least. A lot goals again...

No kidding, I mean yeah go avs, but EDM has been playing well
and its not a good matchup. Totally expecting a throttling with the Nuge and Hall going apesh*t

 

[tigervixxxen]

You guys sound almost worse than the oilers GDT.

Just pray the right Jiggy shows up... He needs to get pissed off about something.

No amount of anger, or motivation, can fix Giguere being finished as an NHL goaltender.

 

[tigervixxxen]

Do the Oilers even want to win anymore, I mean Florida passed them. What's their objective?

 

[Avs]

We need to score at least 10 tonight to have a chance.

Also, F the Blues. Go Capitals.

 

[henchman21]

Quite possibly JSG's last game, I bet he shows up. That said Edmonton always seems to give us fits... 5-4 Avs.
