I feel better against Calgary than I did against Nashville last year. They have to learn how to play with the lead against that team though.

 

[Avsboy]

What are the lines? Top two should be clear.

Landeskog-Mackinnon-Rantanen
Wilson-Soderberg-Compher
Kerfoot-Jost-Nieto
Calvert-Brassard-Ghetto

When is Makar inserted?

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Avs in 6


Really think we come into this matchup hot after the run we went on to get in, think we surprise the Flames and take Game 1 and 2 on the road... Flames take Game 3 in Colorado in a major do or die situation, Avs take game 4 and the stranglehold on the series before finishing it off back in Colorado in Game 6.



I really, really like this matchup for us. Especially with our depth guys like Wilson, Soda, etc. all playing very well down the stretch.

Frozen Four ends on the 13th, so I assume the 15th would be the earliest realistic date

Assuming he makes it past the 11th.

I get the feeling that we're going to hate both the Flames and their fans for a long while after this. Something about them just seems so 'hate-able'.

 

[forsbergavs32]

I think Flames take it in 6, they have some size to wear us down, good forward and defense depth. We probably need their goaltending to go cold to have a shot.

 

[Foppa Frossa]

Losing LG to free agency could be the difference maker in this series.

 

[Balthazar]

Avs in 7, in Calgary, in front of their heart broken fans.

What are the lines? Top two should be clear.

Landeskog-Mackinnon-Rantanen
Wilson-Soderberg-Compher
Kerfoot-Jost-Nieto
Calvert-Kamenev-Ghetto

When is Makar inserted?

I don't think they go L/M/R. They haven't for weeks, even when all 3 were healthy. And Kam isn't ready.

My guess is they go...

92/29/13
83/34/96
18/17/11
10/37/22

49/6
28/4
16/12

31
1

When Makar comes, they'll probably roll 11/7 and Ghetto gets to eat Nachos

 

[Foppberg]

Let's go mother f***ers.

I mean I'm Canadian and you're not wrong....

 

[UncleRisto]

One thing's for sure. Don't need to see Varly out there.

 

[the_fan]

Do we know when the 1st game is, Wednesday or Thursday?

 

[Spleenless Wonder21]

1st postseason meeting between the 2, correct?

Already been there for quite awhile. This is gunna be great.

 

[WarriorOfGandhi]

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

Schedule is released tomorrow

 

[TheDangerBowen]

Were gonna WIN. Should be a good series. I hope Tkachuk isnt too annoying.

 

[ljb4]

Do we know when the 1st game is, Wednesday or Thursday?

Speculation on the main board thread was Thursday/Saturday so that they can host the second game of the Hockey night in Canada doubleheader.
Official announcement scheduled for tomorrow morning.
