GDT: Game 34 - Islanders @ Avalanche - Insert Island Pun Here - 7PM

[McMetal]

I understand the desire to play Varly here. Give Grubi the Wednesday game, and then go back to Varly for the divisional game Friday, he always plays well against the Hawks.

 

[Papa Francouz]

Let's send these p***ycats back to Pen Island.

Grubauer deserves the start, but I'd rather get Varly back on track. He can only do that by playing. Sitting him hasn't helped him over the years. He loses his confidence easily.

Let's send these p***ycats back to Pen-Is-land.

I see what you did there

I see what you did there

What did I do? When I was a young boy, my grandpa told me that there's a surplus of writing utensils on Long Island.

If it makes it to OT, the Avs will find a creative way to lose. This is known.

I guess you haven’t seen the Isles recently.

They’ll go from 5-1 wins to 4-0 losses at the drop of a hat.

Two fave teams.....conflicting as f***!

 

[Jixer19]

All I ask is for the Avs to at least show up and play like they actually want to win, at least make it entertaining

 

[the_fan]

Must win!

Is this game 7PM normal time or your weird two hours late time zone?

Poor Rick Sadowski. Getting even further lost in the shuffle with the rise of BSN and The Athletic, but still churning out nice, concise, and informative content.

HockeyBuzz.com - Rick Sadowski - Kerfoot closer to returning

Total sidenote here, they had McNab on NHL Radio with Kouleas and Barnaby, and both Barnaby and McNab go on so long exchanging stories about their playing days, Kouleas finally gets a word in edgewise to get everyone back on track but they have only, like, two minutes to talk about the Avs. It was entertaining though so to be honest I didn't mind.

What they actually did talk about wasn't anything groundbreaking. The top line is amazing, Tyson Jost is still young, Compher is underrated, so and so forth.

 

[Foppberg]

I love Sadowski. He's pretty much my go to for Avs notes. Really loving Clark on TA too. I've tried BSN multiple times but I find they really fluff up their articles, and what I do need I get from TA or Twitter/Sadowski.

 

[AvsFan29]

Must win at home. Need to start dominating at home like last year.

McGahey doing the TV broadcast tonight.

Fired up the NHL app at 7 to watch it and was like... Wait a second...

Mountain time, in other words God's time.

Go f*** yourself Nashville

Why has Barzal only scored 4 goals this season?

 

[Balthazar]

Why has Barzal only scored 4 goals this season?

He's not as good as last season. Getting shielded by Tavares probably helped a lot.

 

[AvsMakar08]

He's not as good as last season. Getting shielded by Tavares probably helped a lot.

Yes, that is what I thought. He was shielded by the 1st line of Tavares centering it. Isles fans thought that he could finish the season even better then last season. I just hope Barzal takes it easy on us tonight.

 

[Jixer19]

He's not as good as last season. Getting shielded by Tavares probably helped a lot.

Pretty much this, when teams don't have to focus on a Tavares line, means Barzal is now the main focus and he just needs to find his game being the focus point.

 

[The Abusement Park]

He's not as good as last season. Getting shielded by Tavares probably helped a lot.

Don't let Isles fans hear that. He's waaaayyy better than tavares and wasn't helped by not being the focus of the defense at all.

He is a damn good player, but I'm not surprised he isn't having the exact impact he was last year.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Why has Barzal only scored 4 goals this season?

He will get 3 tonight no worries.

 

[AvsFan29]

He will get 3 tonight no worries.

It's nice how we helped out Seguin last game. We definitely seem to let players break slumps or score their first goal.

If McNabb talks about a player in a slump, he's getting 3 points.
