First game i'm able to watch this season, i can't watch games in the army. I'm excited to see Hayton

And just to spam this thread: how much impact does the altitude really have? One mile. That is actually high. Should really make you gassed.

Most altitude studies look at aerobic effects, both short term and long term. Not as much research on anaerobic capacity impact for those that don't have time to adjust. But here's one study that says "anaerobic performances are not altered by high altitudes up to 5,200 m if the length of exposure does not exceed 5 weeks"

More specific research probably needs to be done on the type of exertion a hockey player experiences; a short burst of exertion followed by a short rest period. Rinse and repeat for 60 minutes.

Dehydration is also more rapid at altitude, and lactic acid buildup can be more severe. Despite the study I linked to, I think visiting NHL teams feel the Denver altitude.

Anaerobic performance at altitude. - PubMed - NCBI

My experience with various altitudes (mostly with whatever it is in the valley and 5100 feet in Payson) is that at higher altitudes it takes a little longer to “catch my breath” after exertion, but I could just be imagining it.

Tough game against a cup contender. In this games you can raise and get better.
Let‘s Go Coyotes! Auauauuuuuuuuu

 

[Neighborhood Coyote]

Gonna be a tough but hopefully fun matchup! Good luck Raanta!! Awwoooo!

Kessel will have his 1000 game tonight too I believe so let's get him something!!

Very little, unless a player convinces himself otherwise.

Time for the top line to get on the scoresheet again. 1 goal in 3 games so far, and last game they looked out of sync imo.

 

[TheLegend]

Surprise!!! We’re getting another backup. First start ever.

Uhh I know the goals aren't there but they are literally doing everything else right...

Kessel joins Doan, Jovanovski, Aucoin, Morris, Vrbata, and Sullivan in playing his 1000th game wearing the Coyotes uniform. Any others?

Was poking around and found this... "On August 28, 2019, Altitude was dropped by Dish Network Three days later, the channel was dropped by Comcast and DirecTV." And apparently still going on.

So pretty much no one can watch Avs games in Colorado.

Teppo.

If my Math is right, Owen Nolan missed it here by 18 games (also I was just remembering how he was pretty good here and not often thought of so that's why it was in my head )

 

[TheLegend]

Fun facts:

It’s Carl Soderberg’s birthday today.

It’s Phil Kessel’s 1000th career game.

 

[Prarievarg]

I didn't say they've been bad. Not at all. Just last game they didn't seem to connect as good as in the previous two games. Those same metrics also supports this, CF%, xGF and hdcf all were down against VGK.

So Kessel would have a 69.44% probability to win a Stanley Cup final playing like that?

Excellent. Not as much as his high-definition conference-final probability, though.

 

[SniperHF]

I think that's right.

At a certain point the team probably had their foot off the gas though, particularly the higher line players. Guys who need to stay on the roster like Garland and such were busting it. The third was pretty uneventful. Keller and Kessel didn't even play top line minutes really because of the lead, just 16 min. Where as the games before they played 19/20 ish.

 

[TheLegend]

I’m still noticing a lot of passes ending up behind players or at their feet. That’s an area that needs fixing ASAP.

 

[BigJCaRoach]

Let’s goooooooooooooooooo!

 

[BigJCaRoach]

Yeah, late, behind them, having to reach across their bodies to recollect the puck. Killing plays. Slowing them down. Completely agree.

When I was playing travel hockey back in the day, when we'd go to Utah I would be gassed. I think Denver has higher elevation than SLC slightly also. That being said these are professional athletes and one would hope their conditioning is top notch so it shouldn't be that big of a deal.

 

[Vip]

I honestly don't care how many points Kessel scores as long as we are winning. If he is helping our team in other ways then thats fine. If we start seeing a losing trend and he's still not scoring, then we have a problem.

Here we go again.....our chance to make a backup goalie look like an all star!
