Bura my 1st star tonight. Loved the big hit + goal
Moser f***s up constantlyMoser ****ed up and called Donskoi with that hit.
Exactly, perfect nightI feel pretty anxiety last few days, but there is no better medicine to see Avs win and Toronto gets steamrolled on home ice. Great !
This.I think the thing that I like most about last nights win, was simply the fact that we played poorly and won. Good teams find ways to win when they aren't playing their best. Just like bad teams find ways to lose.
We're going to be a tough team if we show that even on a bad night we can still find a way to win.
This.
It’s extremely early, but the Avs have played well in the 3rd all three games. Protecting one goal leads in the final minutes while all of them securing a empty netter.
Boston carried the play by a slight margin most of that game but don’t forgot, they took it to game 7 in the final and most likely the best in the East. Our back end is so dang green. Makar had a noticeably bad game with the exception of a few good passes. It’s a lot to ask for such a young d-core to play with team like Boston. I’d like to think as the season goes on they will adjust and get better.
Jost looked much better last night.
Kadri was fighting the puck all night. Frustrating to watch.
Nuke has been a welcomed addition to the forward group.
Nate is currently playing like Nate-2015. Relax dude. The goals will come.
Girard is an absolute stud! He clearly is our best d-man right now and it’s not even close. He made some great defensive plays and was calm every second of it. Once his offensive presence starts climbing he will be a steal at that contract.
I’d keep the same lines as last night moving forward. Move Jost to the wing when Compher comes back.
I agree. Avs best player so far IMO.Girard has been absolutely filthy in the first 3 games ! He's the player that has impressed me most on the whole team so far. It's pretty much impossible for him to mess up when exiting the defensive zone with the puck. When I see him pick the puck up in the defensive zone my heart rate systematically goes down because I know it's pretty much guaranteed there won't be a turn over.
He really is something special. I've been watching hockey for a long time and I really haven't ever seen any other defenseman quite like him. To think we've locked him up for 7 more years after the end of this one is really amazing !!

Agreed and see if we can get a good third line goingJost looked much better because he was playing his natural position. Leave him there, put JTC on the wing, and let each take strong side faceoffs.
Not that you're wrong about him being a consistently good player for the Avs, but his linemates are Bellemare and Nuke. Last year they were Soda and Nieto. I wouldn't say it's because he "has actual NHL players on his line," it's just that the players on his line this year seem to work with him better than those who he played with last year - and remember, we're still only three games in so tough to say whether that production will be sustained.Calvert has consistently been one of the best out there imo. Killing penalties as great as usual, forcing turnovers, and his normal hard work is getting results now that he has actual NHL players on his line. The 4th line is honestly my favorite line to watch right now.

I just hope, certain people here begin to realize how special this team really is. Great game once again. And I am so glad every game Grubi makes me eat crow for the things I said last year. He's good.
FWIW that's come a long way over the past 15 months. Feels like a lot more folks on here now realize just how close we are to contention.
