GDT: COL @ WPG: Checkmate (COL Leads 3-1): 9:30p ET

[BobRossColton]

I've got a Nichushkin, Makar, and an older Landeskog from probably ~2015 timeframe.


I'll be getting a Drouin jersey if the Avs re-sign him this summer. If not, probably Mack or Mitts.

Can we just double Drouins money 2x1.7

You absolute tease

It happened regardless of the thoughts around it. He was fighting things and the Avs took full advantage of it.

To me the biggest difference in this series was the 2nd line. That line dominated and allowed the rest of the lineup to find a way to find impacts. Outside two periods (1st in games 1 and 5), I don’t think you could complain in the least with the play. Thats the most encouraging sign. The Avs have a matchup line that can tilt the ice and allow the other lines to play their roles. No more of the first or third lines having to try to shutdown teams. No more having to worry about secondary scoring. It just works and allows the team to have some stability.

I know lots of people were down on him when he had a rough run to close out the season just like the team but I’ve been a huge believer in Mitts since that Canucks game. I have never seen such a constant ice tilting performance live like he put on with Duhaime and Trenin against the Petey line

Was essentially ice level in the Canucks 1/3 end (Avs shoot twice) and that guy was literally constantly in my face. It was crazy

944 for Georgiev

Late rnd 2 is disapointing AF but understandable given the circumstances. But man we could've used him. Crazy to say after such domintion but we know Vegas/Dallas won't roll over as easy as the Jets did.

This is engagement farming!

Now that’s leadership.

I dont think he'd do it for 2 years but I think a 1 year deal again in that kind of neighborhood is possible.


I personally dont think the big money offers are going to be on the table for him like some posters think. I'd bet a bunch of teams are still very hesitant about whether this year was just a one off, or a product of Mackinnon, etc.


So, I can see him signing a 1 year deal with the Avs again for similar money to what Tatar/ERod signed with us for. Then if he replicates this past seasons, he's probably in line for a 4x$4M type deal somewhere, possibly with us at that point.

Safe to say this team is as deep as the 22 team. Look at all the players who got point or points in this series

no dawg in him

Avs are firing on all cylinders. Got that 9-0 mojo back. And Mikko finally had a dominant game.

Hope Kiviranta is ready to go game 1.

 

[Puckstop40]

Actually feel bad for Jets fans. Pretty decent fan base unlike the Oilers or Blues.

Now that’s leadership.

I NEVER, NEVER, EVER thought he was a money goaltender. This proves it (once again.)

 

[The Kingslayer]

never in doubt

I really hope these dinosaur coaches\teams like Winnipeg and LA go extinct asap. Such a boring brand of hockey and rightfully so, getting their asses kicked. Hope the Oilers finish off the Kings as well. I don’t really think the trap/sitting back is even that effective at this point. Just boring hockey that hurts to watch.

THE Dawg was IN him all series.

I dont feel bad for Jesse Pollock

THE Dawg was IN him all series.

The Dawg actually spent very little time up in that ass

 

[Puckstop40]

THE Dawg was IN him all series.

Nuke was in him all series

[Avs9296]

Nuke was in him all series

Probably not the only thing he was in during the series.

I like how homoerotic this win is becoming

 

[cccoltsicehockey]

It's going to get stinky eventually but I will do it for all of you and the team. I ore one shirt for the first game and we lost. Wore a different shirt the next game and we won. I have worn it every game since. I refuse to wash it now.

True dat… Van-Nash has had me at the edge of my seat all series long!

 

[EdAVSfan]

To think, we could’ve spent our first for Monahan instead…
