EPIC GDT!

 

[expatriatedtexan]

I feel like Yan Stastny really isn't much of a step up from that kid Everett doing commentary with Katie the other night.

Savage.

 

[wayninja]

I'm ready to get hurt again

 

[drhiii]

Not waiting for the game to start. Piraat. I expect the Avs to be the better team and win. And with it ends this crap mediocrity that's been for going on for awhile... Avs lean forward hard.

6-3 Canucks. Pettersson with 4 points. MacKinnon takes an elbow to the nose.

 

[JLo217]

I have no idea what to expect anymore.

 

[Tralfamadore]

Gonna be a slaughter

 

[NMAvsman]

Can we just have a decent game with no soft goals and decent zone coverage? I know....that's too much to ask for.

 

[expatriatedtexan]

Gonna be a slaughter

You're either getting optimistic and I like the cut of your jib; or you need to read your own status and heed Douglas Adam's advice.

Keep it close until the 3rd and let the altitude do it's job.

Time to teach these Canucks a lesson in pain ! Btw, what the hell IS a Canuck? Am I even spelling that right?

 

[AllAboutAvs]

Don't have a good feeling about this game.

Hughes cements the Norris, Hart and Conn Smythe tonight

 

[JLo217]

I have a few requests.

1. George, keep those rebounds in check.
2. George, please don't allow 3 goals in a first period where the shots are even.
3. George, please don't allow 4 goals.
4. Everyone outside the current top 6. Can you please just play good defensively?
5. Rants, if you're gonna suck atleast take some f***ing shots.
6. Drouin, please shoot if you're wide f***ing open.
7. Makar, w/e is going on with you, please go back to good Cale.
8. Byram, get a hat trick so the Avs can trade you for Mitts.

That's all k thanks.

I heard they win the cup with a victory tonight.

Not fixing... well, that is a good sign then.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Alright, let's f***in' do this

 

[expatriatedtexan]

Vancouver is a great team, but the Avs are nowhere near as bad of a team as they showed on that roadie.

MacKinnon's gonna wheel and Makar is going to deal. Also hoping to see Wood and Manson stir some shit up; get those big bodies to use and lean on the Nucks hard, early and often. If necessary, enlist Girard. When he first came back from the program, he actually upped his physicality. Not that he's shying away or bailing on plays now, but he was engaging in contact for a few games (hunter vs hunted). Would like to see that return as opportunities arise.

The Avs need to play their way out of the funk they found themselves in. They've got the talent and tonight have the last say on lineups. No excuses.

I need the Piraat.

 

[Metallo]

Win. Just win.

 

[drhiii]

I need the Piraat.

Piraat opened. Producing. Avs throw down an attitude adjustment on the nuks...

 

[expatriatedtexan]

Alright, let's f***in' do this

I know they used X's version of Wild Thing in the movie, but I prefer Joan Jett's cover even over the Trogg's original.
