GDT: Game 61: COLORADO at chicago, February 29, 2024 (Leap year edition)

[JLo217]

Annunen plays big and confident. I almost trust him in net more just due to how focused and calm he is.

 

[Perratrooper]

Call me crazy, but I thought RyJo and the “second” line were really good this game.
Imagine if we got a 2C and Landy came back..

Lehkonen-MacKinnon-Rantanen
Landeskog-2C-Nichuskin
Parise-Johnson-Drouin
Wood-Colton-LOC

Did anyone catch if 4giev was fuming on the bench after Cheeks got the SO and 2nd star?

Did Connorbedard get the first star

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Manson was gooning him all night for whatever reason.

Mamma has certain taste. Bad boys.

Perry to Manson.

 

[sethro109]

Nate is doing all kinds of post game interviews now

The only interviews he seems to like doing are the ones with Bissonnette.

 

[McMetal]

That's two great games in a row for Juice. Yeah, the shutout was against an absolutely pathetic team, but still, it means he didn't make any mistakes all game.

 

[JLo217]

Mack should get the Hart. That said they'll probably give it to someone else per usual. He's carried the team.

 

[katfude]

Remember all those years the Avs sucked and only had like, 2 good players, and the broadcasters simply talked about how good the other team was?

What the f*** was this shit? The Avs won a cup, high odds to repeat and were festured MAYBE twice off commercials. f***ing dogshit broadcasting.

 

[AvStock]

Did Connorbedard get the first star

Lol no Parise

Avs aren't an Original 6 team with a shiny new toy

Drouin and Parise have some chemistry. Great information to have heading into the POs. I agree if that can be a useful line that's massive, but I'll wait until we see it be effective against a real opponent

 

[niwotsblessing]

Drouin and Parise had VG+ games. Too bad they don't have a real center between them.

I'm not sure why they even bothered to say anything about the Avs, they were clearly instructed to only talk about Bedard, like didn't even mention his teammates which is even more f***ed.

Simply pathetic attempt at calling a game tonight, you'd thought the Blackhawks won the game 7-0 and Bedard had all 7 goals.

f*** MacK, an actual superstar in the league, scored his 100th point and they barely even acknowledged it. The announcers were the f***ing worst I've ever seen.

 

[Balthazar]

That's reasonable

 

[sethro109]

Reasonable times on ice? In this economy!?

 

[forsbergavs32]

Parise with the 3 point night puts him at 6 points since joining the Avs, same amount of points as Lindholm with the Canucks

[John Mandalorian]

Not every game but sometimes a game like this against a good team like Dallas would be nice.

 

[Vk1ing]

So is Joe sakic gonna hand him the cup or Landy?

 

[22FUTON9]

People like to make fun of Jones due to his contract but I thought he looked pretty good. I thought he defended our top guys pretty well (nothing you could really do on the last one)
They get grouped together a lot, but he’s in a different league compared to Nurse

 

[TheForsbergShow]

It's going to be an emotional moment hearing "After 19 years, Zach Parise!"

 

[BrickNHL]

I f***ing love this guys effort

 

[dahrougem2]

Outside of the usual suspects (Byram, RyJo and Mikko) the team looked really good. Makar started looking better as the game went on.

I honestly didn't think anyone looked bad tonight, even the usual suspects. Johansen seemed to be skating a bit harder than usual tonight and made several smart plays without the puck.
