GDT: Game 5: Avs @ Preds | 4/20, 7:30pm MT | Hopefully this isn't the End

[Avs_19]

We getting Forsberg'd this series. Now I know how the Wings felt in 99 and 2000.

I wish Siemens had gone 99/00 on Forsberg there and clutched, grabbed, tripped, punched, etc to prevent that.

 

[member 116861]

I really hope they can win this one and get back to Denver so they can get the standing ovation that they so rightfully deserve.

 

[Avs]

It took Girard three games to recover from what Forsberg did to him so Siemens might need some time as well.

Even so, Siemens >>>>> Warsofsky

 

[AvsWraith]

If this is the end, at least make them work for it.

If Forsberg starts dangling, take him down, hook him, slash him, whatever, don't just let him walk right in.

Hammond can absolutely steal games or atleast provide somewhat decent goaltending, that's a lot better than what we've been getting the past few games. Lets hope we somehow get 14-0-1 Hammond and not the other one

 

[Avs]

i liked when they did that thing where they score on the first shot of the game. That was pretty neat.

I hope they find a way to work that into the game plan tonight.

 

[Raucherhusten]

In all seriousness but Hammond can't possibly be worst than Berns was in these 4 games. So i think we only need 4 today to win this game. Not likely but not impossible either.

 

[arun]

Martin will need to play in the second period as the Preds will run Hammond.

Is this our last day? Someone tell me it's going to be alright....

It's going to be alright, you can trust me*.

*you probably can't, and shouldn't, trust me...after all, I can't see the future, if I could I sure as hell wouldn't be here with you people right now

 

[McMetal]

I don't know what's actually wrong with Girard (does anyone?) but if he's doubtful I don't see what value there is in risking him in this game.

Well, considering if we lose it's the last game of the season, I don't see why you wouldn't lay it all out this game. Unless it's a knee or ankle that could hurt his career, one way or another he's going to get a nice long rest soon anyway.

 

[Raucherhusten]

Everything is gonna be fine son

 

[lonelybadger]

Didn't it come out that Girard is indeed playing tonight? Or was it just that he was in a regular contact jersey today?

If the Avs won today I could not care less if they lose 30-0 at home game 6. No matter what happens tonight this was a great season, and it is easy to say it is fun to be a fan again!

 

[klozge]

We all know if Girard plays, Siemens will be scratched. Might as well prepare for it now

Would be a damn shame because Siemens has been playing well in the playoffs. Also, the Avs need his physical presence. Right now Z is the only punishing dman we have in the lineup and although he already is one of the very best physical dmen in the league imo that's not enough on the road against the 2018 Nash Preds in the playoffs. And although I wouldn't call our offense soft at all we're certainly missing an element a guy like Greer (if he only had been better this year) would provide. So, Avs would be better with Siemens than without him tonight imo.

 

[Pokecheque]

Sounds more like Texas.

He may sound like he's from Texas, but nope, the guy who made that catchphrase famous is from Pawnee City, a stone's throw from where I live. I think he exaggerates it for effect but it is kinda funny how thick the "rural" accent can get in these parts. People from small towns and the larger cities sound just like I do, y'know, the bland "American default" accent.

 

[Pokecheque]

Even so, Siemens >>>>> Warsofsky

Um...no. Come on now. I don't even think he's one > let alone multiples.

Again, the Warsofsky hate on here just gets way outta hand. Siemens proved just last game he really has no usefulness being out on the ice. He can't handle the puck, and he can't make defensive stops. He's like non-alcoholic beer...what's his point? For all his many flaws, at least #5 can do one of those things.

 

[Pokecheque]

Nashville is IN Nebraska, ain't it?

Don't I wish. Maybe not though, I might've gotten smacked with a dead catfish walking the street in my Rockie Hockey jersey just now.

 

[Avs]

Which one of those things can #5 do? Serious question.

Is that the dude from Nickleback?

It’s hard to look bad when you play 6 minutes a game.

No, that's Rock, dancing for his new woman!

And before he gets plastered by a Preds player.

That only happens to our GOOD players.
