Colorado Avalanche Media Coverage Part IV

[MaKarter]

Does Dater get any benefit from being on site? I don't want to crap on him because I appreciate the effort and all but he doesn't seem to gain anything from it. He's talking to the coach/players on Zoom like everyone else...his only perk appears to be being able to watch the game in an empty arena instead of on TV.

He says it has increased his subscription so I suppose that was his goal. I think he is looking forward to saying "I was there" for the rest of his life. It's future ammunition.

He's not sitting in 95/100 degree heat with smokey ash raining down on him.... wish I were in Edmonton too

Are you living next to an active volcano?

Edit: some wildfires in CO I guess.

It feels like Dante's Peak here in the evenings.

More than some. We have one above 70,000 acres and another one that’s like 25,000 acres. Pretty crazy stuff.

Bruv it's really bad here, there's ashes falling on my car and yesterday there was so much smoke it looked like precipitation rain shafts all around Colorado to the point you couldn't see the foothills.

Sucks.
I'm trying to stay away from the news these days and not knowing about stuff like that is the downside.

 

[Pokecheque]

Yeah, I miss Colorado weather, but I don't miss stuff like that.

Hoping all the Colorado folks on this board are safe.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Some pictures of said fires. One is from my moms house and the other was a picture she got sent. It’s some crazy shit.

Majority of the wildfires are in the mountains, but the natural wind orientation is to blow from west to east across the state which is carrying smoke and ashes along with it to the metro area. Yesterday it smelled like a campfire and this has been like the fifth day or so to have that odor. There has also been an air quality alert for the population every day for the last month and a half.

If I remember correctly the problem is that the Southwest USA got an El Nina from the Pacific Ocean. That's pretty significant because it causes hotter temperatures and droughts in that region that includes CO, which then increases wildfire potential. It's been an extremely dry summer thus far after a period of one to two week wet period in July and it seems it will continue to be dry in fall as well. El Nino's tend to be the opposite for the region bringing rainforest-esque storms to Colorado due to the influx of humidity.

I helped my sister move up to Fort Collins this last weekend, and it looked like f***ing Mordor there. Ash snowing from the sky, visibility less than a mile, it was awful. I kind of like the smell of wood smoke, especially pine, but the burning in my eyes is less appealing. At least here in Boulder it's relatively clear most days, although I still have ash on my car some mornings.

 

[John Mandalorian]

Is anyone else starting to find it tiresome how the media is pushing this Kadri narrative so hard?

He’s been a marvelous addition to the team and I appreciate what he’s doing. Having said that, it feels like the Toronto centric hockey media wants to push this angle exclusively. Like I said, it’s tiresome.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

The fires in NorCal, that just erupted in the last couple days, won't help with air quality either, as all that smoke is gonna get blown this way too.

Amen. F*** the Toronto media ghouls, Kadri doesn't even play in their conference anymore and they're still dogging on him and bringing up his past mistakes as if it's at all relevant to his new team. Let the man have a fresh start away from the vultures in that town.

 

[Foppa2118]

Z and Nate chuckling it up with each other while Landy answers five minutes worth of questions.

Not at all. It hasn't even been a year since the trade. media and posters can't debate on a trade that's not even a year old?

 

[Foppa2118]

Interesting stat from Bednar. The Avs PP with Nate, Mikko, Landy, Kadri, and Makar was only together for 14% of the regular season.

 

[ETTHAKING67]

I love our team so much

 

[MaKarter]

Why Nathan MacKinnon is the best hockey player in the world

ESPN ? Ill take it I suppose.

 

[Ararana]

Today's Spittin Chiclets podcast at minute 52 has a ton of Avs love.

I think it's more about them constantly bringing up his previous suspensions and lack of production in Toronto. It just feels passive-aggressive and it doesn't have any relevance to the series or the team anymore.

Yeah it is getting annoying, but why am I not surprised. Toronto media is going to be all over our junk all playoffs. Their entire fan base is living vicariously through Kadri, and their media knows it. However their fans like Kadri, and the media is asking questions in the opposite sentiment.

Amen. F*** the Toronto media ghouls, Kadri doesn't even play in their conference anymore and they're still dogging on him and bringing up his past mistakes as if it's at all relevant to his new team. Let the man have a fresh start away from the vultures in that town.

Yeah it is just relentless, and so obviously done in a way of "Why couldn't you do this in Toronto." It was amusing at first, but with the realization they likely won't leave us alone. I'm over it, and there is no debating the trade anymore.
