We are getting SMOKED tonight, no point in even trying to hope otherwise.

We will outshoot them like 36-27 and lose 5-2.

 

[The Abusement Park]

First game my roommate and I will be going to since the Rangers game. First one I’ll be going to since smacking the Kings. Here’s to hoping.

Feels like a game where Grubs will stand on his head for a shutout where he instills hope... only for them to lose out the rest of the week.

 

[Pokecheque]

So frustrating. They FINALLY switch the lines up and put Compher and Wilson with Soderberg, and both of them promptly shit the bed. Meanwhile, for some weird reason, Calvert somehow turns it on (and Nieto too, as much as Nieto can turn it on). I suppose the lesson learned is twofold: One, Bednar waited way too long to try and build a 2nd line with Soderberg at center, and two, Colin Wilson was a clumsy, red-nosed drunken vaudeville actor in a past life and cannot exit Colorado fast enough for my liking.

Maybe not stand on his head for a shutout but I’ll take 25 saves tonight. I mean cmon that’s not too unreasonable right?

I'd settle for no floaters from the blueline.

 

[Foppberg]

I'll settle for not allowing more than 4 goals on 25 shots.

 

[Pokecheque]

If they manage to score at least ONE power play goal and get decent-enough goaltending they should be able to win.

This was my thought as well.

Except I thin Grubauer runs with the net from here.

 

[Avs425]

Sending good vibes and positive energy to the Avs for tonight. Get er done boys

He should no matter what.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Tonight is the night Grubauer steals the net as our number one goaltender.

He’ll post a .895sv% and the Avs will feel so spoiled by that performance that they reward Grubauer by giving him the next 20 starts.

 

[PAZ]

Columbus is also on a pretty big skid and have a bunch of uncertainty with Bob/Panarin. Definitely a game that we should be able to win... but I doubt it.

 

[AvsFan29]

I'll take .895 goaltending. Please, just one okay game.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Can you imagine .895%?

We would only allow 2 goals a game based on shots allowed, even since December 1.

Damn, like I would kill for one of them almost stopping 9 of every 10 shots right now.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

3 goals on 29 shots. That would be a great game from our goalies and quite frankly I would feel good about winning if that's what we got tonight.

Sea Eagles is that you?

Yeah but hell miss a game due to injury during that stretch and Francouz will get the call.

After posting a shutout Bednar glares at Francouz all the way to the bench. As Frank passes Bednar from his perch on the bench. Bednar tells down at Frank

"You take that showboating shit back down to the AHL where it belongs."

 

[Bubba Thudd]

oh.
There's a game tonight?
ok.

 

[The Kingslayer]

I just checked to see if it was 2-0 Jackets lol thought the game was a t 6 lol. I'll come back at 7:30.

Brap brap brap.

 

[S3rkie]

I was shocked to see we still have a positive goal differential.
