I can't believe they dressed Thomas Steen for this game.

 

[Hennessy]

After shutting out a team in disarray last game, it'd go a long ways in easing my mind over this slump if they could also beat the Blues as a follow-up. Maybe an unfair thing to ask, but I don't mind.

 

[Grigowski]

Blues will be up for revenger after our last meeting with them.....

Though one to come....

 

[Balthazar]

Stealing this from another board....Best offensive numbers for D pairings in the NHL:

Kempny-Carlson: 16 goals, 74 points

Dunn-Pietrangelo: 19 goals, 52 points

Graves-Makar: 17 goals, 52 points

Krug-Carlo: 9 goals, 45 points

If Makar didn't get injured they'd be sitting comfortably at #2.

That’s the weirdest stat ever considering most of the goals came with them not on the ice together.

Makar and Graves have only been on the ice together for 18 goals total lol. I promise 17 of them weren’t from those two.

edit: Graves and Makar have scored a combined 5 goals while on the ice together.

That's probably the case for all those pairings.

Drinking Heart Attack Specials getting ready for the Dream Theater gig. Avs game afterwards.

Yeah probably. Certainly not an accurate representation.

 

[Ceremony]

Ever since I saw someone say the other day that Graves is the new Nick Holden, I've not been able to forget the comparison. I almost certainly never will. Thanks for that.

Currently navigating through my rynnäkkökänni. Is there an English term for that?

 

[larueskee]

Blues don't do well on the road in early games. I am feeling a win! Blues still without Parayko? It will need to be a big boy game so slender boys need to buck up and force those Blues d men to play with their backs to the o zone.

 

[Avs9296]

Maybe MacKinnon can finally breathe without Parayko draped all over him.

 

[Ararana]

Avs tend to do well in afternoon games. Hopefully they come out flying and set the pace early against these old farts.

RIP Neil Peart

 

[Metallo]

It would be great if we started finding some level of (positive) consistency moving forward.

They also lost their last game

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

This is the game guys, this is when Tyson Jost breaks through his limitations and establishes himself as a mediocre 3rd liner. Prepare yourself NHL, you about to get wrecked

 

[The Kingslayer]

THe Blues wont forget the beat down the Avs gave them. This might get ugly real fast for the Avs.....Avs 5-3

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Very tough game. Let's hope we show up!

 

[Freudian]

Colin Wilson will descend from the rafters and score the OT winner.

 

[Vaslof]

Colin Wilson will descend from the rafters and score the OT winner.

Owen Hart style.

We're still doing tasteless jokes right?

 

[LieutenantDangle]

Colin Wilson will descend from the rafters and score the OT winner.

 

[missionAvs]

Excited yet nervous for this one. Blues will come out fast after that shellacking we gave them last game.

 

[Avsboy]

Damn, they shut down nhlstreams
