Soda still the #2C? Bednar has seen the light, next give Francouz a start.

I feel a small glimmer of hope for Varly, Grub can still f*** off.

Watch if you want.

You have zero power over them winning or losing.

Don't make me bust out the liquor tonight...

That may be what we've been missing.

[CobraAcesS]

That makes sense, I guess that is why Chabot was talking on TSN about playing against our top line.

 

[Papa Francouz]

At least one goal for Chabot confirmed. Dutchy’s newborn child will be there, so he’ll score a goal or two.

We could use another Soderberg hat trick.

But I do. You don’t know who I am........

The kid will score? What's his number, so I know who to watch? Could be a good matchup for Girard.

 

[Pokecheque]

I'll be at a work event so I'll likely miss the entirety of this one. And that's just as well, this'll be one of those where I'd just be okay with them winning and utterly pissed if they don't. This is a very winnable game for Colorado but I could see them doing just enough to lose, especially if Barberio is anywhere near as flat-footed as he was in his previous two games.

 

[AvsWraith]

Put Gravy back in, Bedz. Kid didn't do anything that bad to get himself benched. Playing Barbs only helps the other team.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Was just thinking.... it's quite annoying that we are 1-3-0 on this road trip. We seriously have played well enough to be 4-0-0 so far.


Hopefully that win against the Leafs was a monkey off our back and we start winning these games we are meant to win.

 

[Metallo]

What kind of Nord would I be if I didn't use the diaeresis in Söderberg.

I know. I just tought that it was a good omen for Mack!

Agreed, we've been trending in the right direction for a while now. Calgary and Winnipeg are great teams, if we play against Ottawa the way we played against them then this should be an 8-1 domination.

We would be in an almost guaranteed playoff spot with okay goaltending, Grubauer and Varlamov have been so damn bad for a while now. Francouz should have started at least one game, probably would have outplayed Grubauer imo, its not like the bar has been set that high.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Its also Matt Duchenes birthday today. The stars have aligned in the Sens favor. Matty is going to be amazing tonight.

Eh. We didn't deserve that Habs game but we did deserve wins over Calgary and the Jets. If we had mediocre goaltending in both we would have won.

Reading stuff on the Avs lately, very few have figured out that goal-tending has been a big issue. It is just weird, although maybe it shouldn't be, and it is just another example of how little the Avs are actually watched by some in the media. Which is funny because there are a lot of "top line is worth the price of admission" type of comments lately.

Definitely seen some comments on our goal-tending letting us down, but comments about team wide issues are still prominent even though we also haven't slipped as low as I thought we'd be in power rankings.

Not surprised, I mean there are people voting for NHL awards who are most definitely not watching that many west coast games per season.

Most people commenting on the Avs, at least on HF, always seem to claim "well the Avs need serious help on D" and don't even make mention of the heinous goaltending we've received this season

I must say when I was in Toronto for a few weeks it was damn hard staying up to watch games knowing that I had to wake up at 6 the next day. I guess when its your job to watch hockey and report you should stay up. I have mad respect for our international posters on here who watch games live.

Its just pure laziness really. Kinda like when that fatso Dean Millard said the Avs were to cheap to spend money on ROR when at the time we were right up to the cap. People in Edmonton to this day still believe that is the reason why we traded ROR because of cheapness. Little shit like that. Most people on here and even scarier the people whose job it is to report just piggy back off the last thing someone else has said. Its easier that way.

 

[Avs71]

Duchene says Rantanen still underrated.

 

[famicommander]

I hope Zadorov checks Duchene into the fifth row for his birthday.

 

[The Kingslayer]

That may be what we've been missing.

The liquor should always be on deck for an Avs game.
