GDT: Game 3: Avs @ Jackets - 5PM

[S3rkie]

I got the same report, but I didn't realise that it was from the ****ver Post and Mike Chambers.

I spent a good 10 seconds trying to figure out why Denver was censored, then the moment when I realized how dumb I am.

Did the same thing

If we can get a couple past Bob early, it should be a nice W

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Columbus is a quite good team. They almost beat Washington last season in playoffs.

I expect tough and close game.

They have a lot of good pieces, and players who can take over a game. It's going to be a fun matchup, a shame they're not at full strength.

Yes, such a shame...

 

[S3rkie]

Lol, yeah I'm happy the Avs have better chances at 2 points, but playing a healthy playoff team is a way better barometer of where this team is at.

 

[Foppa Frossa]

I heard avs scouts are gonna be at this game.

Everyone wants to see Girard, even our own scouts.

We just skated circles around a healthy Philly team! Lol I would have preferred to face Columbus at full strength, but I wouldn't mind some goals and a W, either.

With you there, but still the more successful tests the better. Also I just like watching close games.

I'd like to see Mack and Rants shake the dust off and put up 4 points each

Nah, i like watching games where we dominate and lead by 3 after 20 mins

They each have 3 points after the first 2 games. That’s a 123 point scoring pace... but I know what you mean. It’s just the level of expectation we have reached for that line.

All of their points except for the first MacKinnon goal have been EN

Not that I completely disagree with you, but to be fair Mack had a nice apple last game to go with his goal the first game.

 

[the_fan]

Didnt MacKinnon have like 5 points in his first 10 games last year? I'd say he is already off to a better start this year with 3 in 2

Needs to keep up that 50 in 50 pace or he's a bust.

 

[Pokecheque]

I think it's actually a plus that the Avs look really good thus far in two games and the top line still doesn't quite look like it's firing on all cylinders. Last season that would've likely meant a loss. This year they're practically rolling four lines and they're all working for the most part.

It's ok, if MacK busts we can trade him for undersized puck moving defenseman

Or a goalie. We’re really good at trading for goalies.

Bring back Picks! and keep the Gritty mask!!

Don't mention his name here or he will get ya.

 

[SaltySkywalker]

"I'm talking about all the way to the top, yeah..."

Settle down, @BrickAHL.

 

[Ararana]

That really is a game changer.

I expect the big line to dominate now, they won’t have a Norris candidate all over them.

This Norris candidate?

Honestly this game can go either way. Our road record last year left a ton to be desired.

Ok so MacKinnon for Talbot.

MacK will get to rejuvenate his career playing with McDavid after he busts in Colorado, and Avs get to have a solid core of goalies in Varly, Gru, Talbot and Francouz for many years to come.

Works for everyone!
