Okay which thread is the serious one? Can they be mergedor one deleted. don't know why two were necessary

 

[Avs For Life]

"Whats fair for us is...we want to surprise the world of hockey and I look at the projections and no one has us in the playoffs but we have the right to prove people wrong"

Might be my favorite quote so far.

And it begins tonight! I liked that part

I really liked the Roy quote at the end of that Dater interview "we are not going to put our desire to win ahead of the team". Then goes on about building the team step by step.

That attitude was in nice in 2009, IDK about now.

 

[tigervixxxen]

I didn't take it as not caring about winning, I don't think that's even possible with Roy anyway. More about building an actual winning team and not using emotion to squeeze out one or two wins and then flame out.

Looking through some of the interviews:

Landeskog and O'Reilly are pretty much as always. They seem to have balanced and relaxed personalities.

Duchene seems so more comfortable in his skin these days. Great to see.

Stastny seems very exicted. Hopefully he'll have a big year and be hungry for more of them here.

MacKinnon is so media trained that he's almost Crosbyesque in his ability to not say anything interesting at all. But he might relax once he's more comfortable.

 

[Tralfamadore]

Which is the real GDT?? I'm freaking out

 

[Avsboy]

Go Avs!

 

[Tralfamadore]

Go Avs!

This.

Landy seems like he's ramped up the intensity. MacKinnon gives the standard right back to the standard questions but he shows a lot more personality in a decent unexpected question. Agree on O'Reilly, Duchene and Stastny.

This is the real question. Nobody is going to know and game talk is going to be split across both threads.

MODS ON THIS NOW PLEASE lol

This is not the GTD.

But yeah they should be merged

 

[Nalens Oga]

A thread for optimists and pessimists, how delicious

 

[TheStranger]

So the GDT means something else in this case I guess...

 

[TheStranger]

I guess I'll give a play by play of this Avalanche Sharks playoff game from 2004

 

[TheStranger]

Forsberg crushes Marshall into the end boards after Ossi Vaananen takes a roughing call.

Avs on the penalty kill at the 4 minute mark of the 1st period. Game is 0-0

 

[TheStranger]

Blake has left due to an unspecified injury

 

[TheStranger]

Sharks haven't gotten anything together on the powerplay, Aebischer covers the puck as the powerplay expires.

 

[TheStranger]

Forsberg twists and turns in the corner as a player skiis behind him with a fistful of his jersey.

Forsberg then rocks Rathje with a hipcheck.

 

[Hans Landaskog]

So that's how you have so many posts...

 

[TheStranger]

So that's how you have so many posts...

I don't think I've ever posted that many that quickly ever. But considering you have a 1/4 of my posts in just under a quarter of the time frame, you're pretty equal with me.

oh snap

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

I'm in full panic mode.

This is the real question. Nobody is going to know and game talk is going to be split across both threads.

MODS ON THIS NOW PLEASE lol

We need RL to save us.

A thread for optimists and pessimists, how delicious

That would be a good idea actually

So that's how you have so many posts...

98% of his posts are worthless.

J/k Thestranger.

 

[Hans Landaskog]

This is clearly the PGT, clearly....
