GDT: Game 58: Avs vs Blues | 1 PM MT | February 16, 2019

[AvsFan29]

We're not getting 3rd in the West regardless. That is the Blues spot and they will have it without any push back.


As Eddie said the team we're chasing is Minnesota, and possibly Dallas as I'm not totally convinced they're playoff bound yet either.

It's the blues spot, and they will have it without any pushback?

With 25 games left, and tied in points with Dallas?

 

[AvsFanInMichigan]

Just finished my 2nd season in NHL 19 franchise mode with the Avs. finished 2nd in the central with a record of 48-30-4. first round I have the Blues lol.

 

[AvsFan29]

Grubauer officially the worst goalie in the league.

 

[AvsFan29]

Avalanche use heart-rate monitors to know if players are sleeping, eating well and what AHL prospect deserves a promotion

I guess that's where we get our competitive edge.

Sitting here at the game, watching warmups.

What’s with the rainbow colored tape on the players’ stick blades?

February is when they have the Hockey Is for Everyone thing.

Yes, exactly. You know they've won 7 straight right? And have been the best team in the league by a large margin for almost 2 months now right?


I wouldn't even rule them out for 2nd in the division yet.

 

[AvsFan29]

Yes, exactly.

Doubles down lol I like it

 

[Hennessy]

Allen in net? I like those odds.

Yah, but they were also trash for the first 40 games and nothing is stopping them from going back to that. No consistency.

Anyways my point is that they are tied, and aren't running away with it.

But they are. 20 games ago they were 10+ points back of that spot. They've finally gotten some legit goaltending now and the guys who were struggling earlier this year(Tank and Pietran) have finally gotten going.


You watch, they'll be 3rd in the division by 8-10 points when the season is over, if not 2nd in the division.

 

[Mighty Makar]

Huge game! Let’s go, boys!

 

[AvsFanInMichigan]

Did Moser get punched out?

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Allen in net gives us a chance. But also hurts my fantasy hockey league and its push for playoffs not getting Binnington an easy shutout

 

[AllAboutAvs]

Hope I'm wrong but I predict a bad game in the penalty box from Greer.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Jake Allen a career .923sv% against the Avalanche. The highest against any team he's played more than 10 times

 

[AvsFanInMichigan]

We are flying around to start

 

[Spleenless Wonder21]

Ouch, Petrangelo.

 

[MildAvaholic]

EJ sniping Blues early.

 

[Foppberg]

Pietro off and down the tunnel

Ok I take this back. I was not accounting for a Pietrangelo injury.

 

[UncleRisto]

MFing Kerfoot, that's a goal if I've ever seen one.

 

[AvsWraith]

Kerfoot the shootist.

 

[Grackle Party]

Kerfoot is the new Sven. Can't hit the net ever

 

[El Travo]

Really good start.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Bortuzzo what a dummy. Play gone back the other way and he still let Greer get to him. He just ruined an opportunity for his team. I'll take it! Plus, a bonus point on my books for Greer.
