GDT: Game 38: Avs @ Golden Knights | 8 PM MT | December 27, 2018 | Operation: Knightfall

I really wish we could have faced the Knights while they were still on their cup finals hangover. They're back to playing good hockey again, and Fleury's as good as ever behind them. This is a must win though to put them back on track after the break.

Vegas is 11-3-3 at home. I'd say the odds are not in our favor lol. That and this team is never ready after a break.

So a guy comparable to Bigras is making his NHL debut this evening

Fabulous.

I thought he had actually got some games with NY, but I was wrong.

I'm hoping Kucherov passing Mack, might light a fire under him.

Can't say I have a good feeling about this one. Playing against a well coached and structured team on the road after a long break? Don't see anything good come out of it

All we can hope is that both teams are drunk from the break. Right now NY and CBJ looked drunk in the 1st.

Eh, I hope losing the last two has lit a fire.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Get 1 point and ill be happy

 

[RoyIsALegend]

4-1 VGK is my prediction.

 

[missionAvs]

Yeah we're not winning this one. Hopefully I'm wrong but I've got Vegas 3-1.

 

[Pokecheque]

Just avoid another 7-0 drubbing, please.

 

[Spender]

Should be an easy one, just get it done.

Long as MacK and Rants stay above Matthews and Eichel in ppg its a good result.

They have more important things to worry about than 2 guys who aren't in the race

I don't. I enjoy the cries of anguish from Leafs fans and that one Eichel fan who mentions Eichel in every thread.

Kucherov is gonna run away with scoring title soon. Between him, MacK, Rantanen and even McDavid, Kucherov has the least pressure on him to produce because his team has tons of depth. MacK, Rantanen and McDavid know that its primarily up to them to win games and that pressure will result in more games where they struggle than Kucherov

There are two sides to angry Nathan MacKinnon. The side that completely takes over a game and dominates, and the side that pouts and slouches his shoulders as he turns the puck over 25 times.

Why didn't this apply to last year?

I dunno man. Mack has better stats over the last 100 games by a mile. Kucherov is awesome though

 

[Piestany88]

Noice. I guessed right.

Hey, guess from my recent posts if I'm binging BK99.

So a loss then , Grubauer sucks

 

[RoyIsALegend]

So a loss then , Grubauer sucks

I wouldn’t say he sucks, but he has definitely been inconsistent for us. He will have a couple of great games and then let in 5 awful goals the next game. It’s weird.

His .900 save percentage and 3.16 GAA aren’t getting the job done right now, though. That’s for sure.

 

[AvsFanInMichigan]

We’re winning this one 5-2.

 

[Avsboy]

Interested to see what Graves brings to the team. Would prefer Meloche.

I dunno why the Avs never call him up. He's doing well from what I've heard. Strange

Because last year Avs had good depth with Blake Comeau

I hope the boys surprise us tonight, need to get going again
