GDT: Game 60: dallas @ COLORADO, February 27, 2024 (tonight's game edition)

[expatriatedtexan]

Talisker is damn good whiskey.

I'm a sucker for the scotch. My two favorite regions are the Ilse of Isay and the Isle of Skye, Skye for the beautiful balance of peat and smoke like in Talisker. You can almost taste a bit of the ocean as well or maybe that is just the brain providing that memory as I've been to their distillery and vividly remember it. I was also lucky enough to tour Laphroaig on the Isle of Islay. Laphroaig... holy crap the peat and especially the smoke is through the roof. I once got the impression of being downwind of an unruly campfire while enjoying a dram. I absolutely stone-cold LOVE this one.

As you know, scotch can be divisive. Even among those that have always liked or acquired the taste for it find Laphroaig to be... an experience. They used to have commercials of people trying it for the first time that were actually really funny. It's obvious that it is not for most people, but it's also funny to see how many folks would try to hide the fact they didn't enjoy it.

Oof. Tried to take a run and got the worst of it.

He got up, and said something to Manz as he skated by, then stood and stared at him before leaving the ice.

I was like, Bro, you just whiffed and then fell into the boards. How is that Manson's fault?

They had a nice staring contest about 10 feet apart after some cheap shots by Marchment, with what seemed like no words, at the end of the game too.

Couldn't see it, but I feel like Manson was saying "I'll absolutely murder you if you take a step towards me" with his eyes.

Duchene now 5-14 against the Avs since he decided he wanted to play playoff hockey

Curse of the Douche.

I have a good feeling about tonight.

Nailed it.

 

[Perratrooper]

Georgiev was great tonight, gotta give credit where credit is due. I also though Bo had a stand out game. It was nice to see Mikko put in some level of effort after a long stretch of extremely lack luster play. I also didn’t mind the Parise-RyJo-Drouin line today, although it was great it was unfortunately better than the 20’s line.

Now if we could just get a shut down defensive defender to play with Byram and a viable 2C to round out our forwards we’d be in half decent shape.

 

[JLo217]

That Cogs shot was something. Also Mack's goal.. woweee

Got into it with Wagner for no reason there, too.

Future Av Eller tied the game for Pens. Going to OT

Hasn't really worked out the way he thought has it?

Playoffs Since Trade - not including qualifying round

Duchene - 20 GP - 8-12 record
Avs - 67 GP - 41-26 record - Stanley Cup

 

[JLo217]

Gotta keep Drouin. He's cooled, but his passing ...sheesh

Oh come on Nate. Don't say you don't expect to win the Hart. That just gives them a reason not to pick you if it's close.

gotta be 'umble

 

[the_fan]

They just having a bad goaler day

You mean Overrattinger wasn’t good?

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Shockingly, other than the penalty he took, Pavelski was completely invisible tonight, as was Robertson.

 

[sethro109]

While at the game tonight, I picked up one of the Avs St Patrick's Day jerseys.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Nailed it.

So did I

I'm going to the Dallas game, so that's an auto-loss. Couldn't tell you the last game I went to that they won. Pavelski already has a goal and an assist. If Dutchy and Seguin are back, they'll each have 2 points as well.

Yeah when I saw that horseshit EPSN broadcast, I said no f***ing way I'm listening to that shitty bitch commentator. Never again.

So I put the Avs radio broadcast on my laptop and turned the volume down on the TV.

Oh and bravo to ESPN -> I don't know about you guys but every 5 minutes or so, the feed goes apeshit with colors - something resembling an old Commodore-64 color scheme screen for 1 or 2 seconds... so congratulations on that EPSN, you f***ing amateurs.

My biggest problem with them is the repeating commercials when space isn't paid for or whatever the f***in reason is, but makes my eyes want to roll back into my head, I just start doing other shit and end up missing the first part of a period.

Scotch with a lot of Pete or whatever makes it like drinking chalk or wood chips, no thank you..

Scotch that is smooth, omg.. Do not buy again because the whole bottle was gone in the morning. Bourbon hurts and reminds you to be judicious with it at least.

Love when he throws a random big hit

Is that the rivendell Set?

 

[The Merchant]

[Metallo]

How nice is it to wake up in the morning after a big win? Very.

 

[henchman21]

George won that game more than anyone else… needs to keep up.
