GDT: Colorado Avalanche host the St. Louis Blues @ 8pm MT for Game #1 of The West Division Playoffs

[Ginger Papa]

As I wrote in the GDT sign up Thread. I didn’t see anyone lined up so I prepared this.

As a guest of your Board, I’ll respectfully step aside for a Long Serving Member who has a GDT in mind for Game #1. No worries at all, I won’t take it personally. But this is good to go if one is needed. I kept it clean in case the Mains pull it later in the day.

Win f***ers

We clearly have the superior team but this can be a tough series.

 

[Bensch88]

Please just win this one.

Oh and
F*ck the blues

I want everyone to do one thing. Remember.

1996 and 2001 were a long time ago, and for most of us, we've probably forgotten game 1 of those playoffs. Try to burn every game into your memory, so years down the line you can think back on them and put a smile on your face.

This isn't about the Blues.
This isn't about who is playing and who isn't.
This isn't even about winning the game.

This is about history

Come on boys! We have the team, make this our year. Don't take the Blues lightly and go out and put the pressure on them from puck drop.

Gameday! I’m not sure if it’s better or worse that I’m on vacation this week. I think I could use a distraction.

I really doubt Parron will be playing tonight or in this series. Based on comments coming out of St Louis, he’s not in tracing. He’s got the Rona. Don’t know if he’s sick or asymptomatic, but it sure sounds like they are playing without him. And maybe without Dunn (sick) and Tarasenko too.

I really doubt Parron will be playing tonight or in this series.

The series remains to be seen; but I believe Berube already confirmed he was out for Game 1

 

[Coloradorov]

Let's go, boys!

Seems like either the rules have changed for the playoffs or the Blues are communicating the COVID protocol differently than the Avs. The Blues are saying he can return after two consecutive negative tests. But when the Avs had guys go on the COVID list in the regular there was an automatic minimum number of days they had to be in the protocol before they could clear, whether it was contact tracing or a positive test.

If they haven't changed the protocol for the playoffs I don't see how he could possibly be back before game 4 at the earliest.

Read their quotes. It sounds like he has C19. This wasn’t a false positive or tracing.

Best of luck to your little one today

I doubt he’s even in Colorado.

 

[Nihiliste]

Won’t be watching the game live due to work schedule but hope to wake up to a win in the morning

If that's the case yeah he's most likely out for the series.
