Missed the game, who we lost this time?

Lehkonen

 

[LOFIN]

Lehkonen

f***.... Hopefully nothing too serious.

 

[katfude]

f***.... Hopefully nothing too serious.

Based on what we saw, he is probably out for a few weeks. He got f***ing MMA'd, no call.

 

[MonsterMack]

I'm legitimately pissed off that Lehk got f***ing suplexed and there wasn't a penalty, and no reaction from the rest of the team.

 

[chet1926]

Welp f***, this injury shit is getting ridiculous.

I've never seen anything like this in 30+ years watching hockey.

 

[drhiii]

And btw, McAvoy should now have a price on his head. What a gutter rat who pretends to be a star. Let's take care of that next time.

agree

... and no reaction from the rest of the team. THAT is where I draw a line with Bednar. There is only so much "line" to accept. That was not one of them.

 

[Pokecheque]

Makar is really running out of gas because of this injuries. Playing about 30 minutes every game.

Yeah and it’s taking a huge toll on his game. He’s had at least one really bad defensive lapse the last few contests. But unfortunately I don’t see an alternative.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Not even upset. Boston is hard enough to beat with a healthy line up. Nice to see Foudy out there for the only goal for. Kids got some nice speed.

Not upset either with a reg season loss to Boston, if it was in somewhat normal circumstances.

But to have Lehkonen join the ever growing death squad is truly upsetting. f*** this team!

 

[NHLInjuryViz]

Another game, another injury. Avs have to be top 5 in man games lost right?

Yes. This was through Thursday’s games:

 

[Grigowski]

This is beyond ridicilous at this point. It´s not this season, but this injury-shitshow keeps on going for years now with this franchise.

Thank god we got one window when everything went our way and we finished the job (aka, Cupwin).

With all these injuries, we will find us soon fighting for a wildcard. And i mean it serious. We are basically a one-line team and one major injury away from being in real trouble. Playing Makar, Toews and Mac nearly 27 minutes every game isn´t a formular for success either.

Week-to-week means out for month on this team. I dont expect Landeskog back soon either. And wtf happened to Helm and Byram?

f*** this shit, really, f*** it. We play Boston, the hottest team in the NHL right know and the majority in here just wishes for no further injuries. And not even that works in our favor. Crazy shit.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Was at the game. Tough to watch. Just an extremely diluted lineup. A team like Boston will chew up a depleted lineup like this. Bergy takes Mackinnon out of the equation and there’s no other line to step up.

Also I saw Manson walking down the street shopping with JMac Friday. Surprised to hear he has a lower body injury that’s putting him on IR. Is it possible he activated something which requires a small procedure and they’re planning to do it in the next few days?

 

[Bender]

I have 2 questions :

1) is the bruins announcer Christopher Walken after a brain aneurysm ?

2) when is NESN getting High Definition TV ?

It's an abdominal tear, somehow that information became public. (That's what I read somewhere so take with the requisite grain of salt.)

McAvoy should be suspended a very long time for that play on Lehkonen. Dangerous, dirt bag play from him.

We play them again next week.... Maybe its time for "eye for an eye".....

How ? We got nothing and Englund got beat up by Foligno

This is what's so frustrating. They know that, and totally were cheap w/o any threat of retaliation. Our fighters won't be back this week either, and that's that for them unless we meet in SCF. So that still wouldn't really work out, too much at stake in finals, so there is no chance to pay for their goonery, and they absolutely knew it. Cowards.

 

[Ceremony]

I had to watch most of the third period from the Bruins feed and Jack Edwards genuinely doesn't sound okay.

The worst part is I thought he sounded 'better' last night then he has in other recent games. To put that into perspective.

 

[dahrougem2]

The Bruins are a fantastic team, no doubting that.

However, it's cute seeing so many of their fans puff their chests after beating an Avalanche team playing half the game with 11 forwards and 5 of those 11 are AHLers while half the defensive corps also belong in the AHL (MacDonald/Englund truly, EJ theoretically).

What? Boston would mop the floor with Colorado. That’s not how the avs are gonna win against Boston. I wouldn’t worry about this loss. Half the avs are hurt. Regular seaSon game. No big deal. The injury is unfortunate. Generally in the nhl a defender will put a guy down at all costs when they are scrambling in the crease like that. Mcavoy is a thick train. A violent strong defender. Colorado needs a couple players like this. The only thing about Colorado that I would consider a flaw is the toughness. They aren’t a violent hard hitting team. They will miss kadri a lot. Kadri is what they are missing imo.

I think we more puffing the chest due to the unbeaten at home record. It’s pretty extraordinary to be honest. If you watched this team every game you would totally get it. And don’t worry. Colorado is just injury depleted. They will be fine. Teams stacked. Best defender on the planet plays for them.

I only saw the 3rd period where the game was basically done where I'd imagine he would be a bit less worked up. Didn't sound good either way.

Jack has a bottle of Jack in the booth.

Yes. This was through Thursday’s games:

Yet Avs aren't #1 as far as MGL?
