GDT: Game 1: Colorado Avalanche Vs. St. Louis Blues - Quest For the Covid Cup - 8:30 PM MT

That is a valid point. But doesn’t change the fact that there’s been a ridiculous amount of overreaction in this thread.

Well, I for one am not worried. I trust that Bo will save this team.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Byram probably wants to go back to the W after watching that performance last night...

I think Bo wants to come here and prove hes the difference maker. Kids cocky. This team might need a reminder from someone like Bo that they the big dicks in the locker room.

This place will be fun when the news breaks that Toews isn’t practicing today.

That just means it'll be Byram time

Toews out, Byram in, Cole stays. It’s like subtraction by addition, or something....

Something better happen to Blais. 4 minutes into the season and a head shot. The Avs were pretty rattled after that.

I’m having diarrhea in the trash can and throwing up in the toilet at the same time.

 

[chet1926]

Yeah f*** it.

Byram - Makar
Girard - EJ
Toews - Graves

Screw Graves, put Timmins in and see what he's got. Graves blows, only reason he looked semi passable last year is because he rode Makar's coattails. Other than that he is a AHL caliber guy.

A good description of the Avs play last night.

Something better happen to Blais. 4 minutes into the season and a head shot. The Avs were pretty rattled after that.

And they did literally nothing about it. I think that’s the part of last nights game that bothers me most. They responded to that hit the exact same way the Leafs would have responded to that hit which is do nothing and continue to get bullied.

When did this board shift from becoming a bunch of miserable, sarcastic goofballs to being irrational reactionaries?

Judging by last nights game some of these guys could do with some pressure from the younger guys to light a fire under their arses. I'm specifically staring right at you Donskoi and Cole... I'm sure Kaut and Byram would love to take your jobs...

The moment NHL writers/pundits/talking heads proclaimed us a cup contender. Some of the strip Landy of C crowd has been here before that.

Didn't feel right that he only got 2 minutes for that hit to the head.

Im about done with Donskoi. He provides nothing to this team. A blemish on Sakics name at this point. Hopefully Joe can fleece another GM and unload Donskoi on them. I rather give that spot to a kid who wants to stay in the show. LOC or Bowers.

 

[TruePowerSlave]

LOL at the its going to become a difficult regular season, the next one is a must win, this could spiral out of control bs comments. We lost one game, get a grip.

The Avs are guaranteed to make the playoffs unless they get absolutely crushed by injuries. Arizona, Anaheim, LA or Minnesota, two of those teams ain't finishing ahead of the Avs.

This season will be judged entirely by our playoff performance.

Who cares if writers are saying we're a Cup contender now? This board has long been a place for Avs fans to visit and make fun of ourselves and the team together. Now that we get positive press a ton of people on here have lost their senses of humor? We've only lost one game this year, and there's nowhere to go but up.

 

[The Abusement Park]

100%. If we look like this for the next like 10 games than we should start to really worry, but that won't happen. With the weird offseason and lack of game time there's going to be a lot of weird games and inconsistencies around the league.

That's right.

Timmins might end up better than Graves, but right now Graves offers more of an ability to knock guys around in the defensive zone. Which to me, was lacking against the Blues.

I thought Timmins was ok last night, but he wasn’t engaging physically at all. If he’s not going to do that, I’d rather keep Graves in the lineup.

Cole was much more of a concern than Graves imo.

Once we trade Landy or strip him of the C and fire Bednar we'll be good. But until then we're worthless.

That's right.

But why????

Yeah, that bothered me too. I hope Bednar addresses that.

Usually it’s Kadri, or EJ that will step up in those situations, but it can’t just be two guys.

I know he had the puck at the time, but I’m disappointed Makar didn’t do anything. Someone should have either dropped the gloves, or taken a run at him.
