Looks good man.

Looks good man.

Funny part is we're tied with STL on ROW, and only have two less wins with a game in hand.

That OT column lol

 

[22FUTON9]

If only we didn't lose all our games to Carolina, Toronto, Columbus....

 

[5280]

Boom

 

[The Merchant]

So the Avs beat the Stars in regulation, the 2nd of a b2b, passed the Wild for the first time this season AND Rantanen scored one of the most ridiculous goals of the season to top off a hatty...?

I know the chances are nil, but I wish bigras could dethrone Holden as Barrie's partner. Get him some real minutes and see how he responds

Holden is a top-4 dman in the nhl right now

 

[LieutenantDangle]

Holden is a top-4 dman in the nhl right now

exactly... right now. i have no faith in him as a long term top 4 guy. we know holden is gonna holden here sooner or later. lets be proactive for once. this is not to say that i haven't been extremely impressed with holden's play this season. I've had his back all year, but bigras could be a special player and i selfishly want him thrust into holden's role

 

[Foppa Frossa]

Can't let up on the gas. Need to go hunting after STL.

Holden played over 28 minutes both last night and tonight. Crazy to think where he was last year and where he is now.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Holy ****. This team is in crazy streak. Winning all these games is huge for us!

Yeah, they were definitely right about him.

me too, bigras is amazing

 

[tigervixxxen]

Have to post this here, makes my heart happy

 

[Avs]

Looks good man.

And we are still only a wild card team.

 

[dahrougem2]

Way too many shot attempts allowed but honestly I'd love to know what the high-danger scoring opportunities were. I bet they were pretty close seeing as nearly every shot we took felt like a great scoring opportunity.

Not gonna read into Bigras playing less than 8 minutes but I maintain my prediction that within the next 5 games he'll be sent down and Roy will return to his "trusted" Nate Guenin on the 3rd pairing rotating with Redmond and Bodnarwhateverhisnameis.

 

[Joe Sakic]

Can't agree with Bigras replacing Holden. Holden has been great with Barrie so far

 

[CobraAcesS]

Yeah Holden has been great, and actually is seemingly growing with experience. His hands and decision making have moved forward by leaps and bounds.

I find this offensive to my people.

He has learned to play within his limits and finally use his body physically consistently

 

[tigervixxxen]

Holden will probably still have a couple brain farts but that's ok, he's come a long way. I think he eventually settles in to a third pairing guy but that's when one of the kids establishes themselves over the next year or so.

Just listened to Dean's postgame, he said Zadorov came down with a good attitude today incase anyone was worried about that.

I keep waiting for him to fall back down to earth, but this is by far the most consistently sound hockey he's played in his career. A lot of credit goes to him, but I think we have to give credit to Farrish as well. I thought Tourigny would be a huge loss, but Farrish has Holden playing the best hockey of his career, and the entire D has been pretty sound despite some of the dead weight they've had to drag around still.

Wonder if Holden can keep this up for the rest of the year, and beyond.
