Series Talk: Colorado Avalanche vs San Jose Sharks (P2 vs WC2)

[forsbergavs32]

Went Sharks in 7. I don’t think this is going to be nearly as easy as some think. Came back down 3-1 in the series and came back down 3-0 tonight, they’re still a strong team even if they’re an older team. Avs have to be ready and use their speed to their advantage.

Avs in 6. No one can contain Mackinnon and "baby got back" Rantanen

 

[Ceremony]

We're going to rinse this shower of old men, cripples, and an ECHL goalie. Get your brooms ready.

 

[AvsFan29]

Martin Jones looks like a good time

 

[HartKinnon]

I just got a ring from an NHL easter egg so the Avs will go the distance.

A lot of confidence in here for a team that can’t win in San Jose. I mean the Avs can’t even really beat the Sharks in Denver if the last few seasons are any indication.

I will cheer my ass off for this team until the day it ends, but I’m not expecting this series to go our way.

Meh. Avs sucked at the Saddledome for years. Playoffs are a different beast. Still doesn't mean it's gonna be easy.

I dunno man. Jones needs to play .930+ hockey, or he's gonna have a bad time.

I’m sure he will. When do we ever face a bad goalie who actually plays bad against us lol.

 

[Tommy Shelby]

The Sharks just played 3 games where they were facing elimination, two of which went to OT and one where they clawed their way back down by 3 in the 3rd.

They won't be a pushover. We're going to have to keep our foot on the gas and not let up or they will fight back.

There's no dejected, fake tough, whining, diving babies this time. Just a bunch of big bodies, veterans trying to shake off a playoff choker label and win their first cup.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

I dont expect this to be a walk in the park series by any means... But I do believe if we play at the level we did in round 1 we can win no question.


I went with Avs in 6 but would not be surprised to see this one go 7 games and then who knows what happens in game 7.

Very true. I still think if we can put up 35+ shots on him a night, he's going to have serious problems.

He wasn't good last night, either.

This is assuming Grubauer continues this level.

 

[Rumplesnipeskin]

Swipe right for Jones

Fell asleep with Vegas up 3-0; woke up to a Sharks win, and the realization that I’m in San Francisco May 1-4... hopefully we have a game scheduled there on one of those days (I don’t live in CO, so only other way I get to go is [when] we make the finals, as noted on the permission slip I had to have my wife sign).

 

[Spleenless Wonder21]

Hopefully my drunken purchase will be in time for game 1.

Look at that thing.

 

[missionAvs]

I got Avs in 7. We're rolling hot right now but SJ owns us. Still, I have us edging them out..... hopefully lol.

My analysis of this series:
Bay area bud may be of similar quality, but f*** bay-area prices. Denver-area nug is where it's at

Meh, we just crushed the "Best Team in the West" soooo ...

Bring 'em on!

(Even if we lose we had a damn good year and it's only going uphill from here)

Gotta keep our anthem rockin

I have no reason to believe he won't

I think the younger Sharks are hungrier and grittier than their vets. Winning 2 OT in elimination games are nothing to scoff at.
The Sharks coming to 2nd round with full confidence.
