Please stop a damn puck***

Automatic loss if Grubauer starts

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Sissons gonna beat us again isn’t he. Plus automatic Grimaldi goal.

 

[Freudian]

Good luck, Varly.

I remember when Craig Smith used to kill Avs. Now I tend to fear Arvidsson more.

 

[mapletreemarty]

I wonder if Arvidsson is going to be a little dirty shit again.

 

[avsfan09]

I wonder if Arvidsson is going to be a little dirty **** again.

I worry more about Watson.

 

[Raucherhusten]

After last nights hard fought and very emotional win i expect us to lose this one. At least we should.

I actually want Grubauer to start. We need Varly to stay fresh and this game is a tough one to win anyway. And maybe, just maybe, Grubi can pull off a "Varly" - it's about damn time.

 

[HartKinnon]

I worry more about Watson.

He might be injured because he wasn't in the line up againts Anaheim and wasn't in the scratches.

 

[Foppberg]

I worry more about Watson.

He's suspended on substance abuse violations, no?

 

[HartKinnon]

He's suspended on substance abuse violations, no?

Predators' Watson suspended for alcohol abuse

Apparently.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

I dont see any scenario where we win this game but I'm also not Doctor Strange so...



I thought there was a rule in the NHL where teams playing on B2B nights had to have the start time for the 2nd game be at least 24 hours after the start time of the first one? So a 730 est start last night meant at least a 730 est for tonight's game?


I must have made that rule up in my head though cause the start time tonight is 530 est. 19 hours between games is brutal and made even worse with the flight time as part of that.

 

[Ceremony]

I worry more about Watson.

That's okay, we don't have any women playing for us.

 

[Alex Jones]

Going to be interesting to see who PK lines up against. You would normally think MacKinnon, but I wonder if the Preds see the Soda line as the Avs top offensive threat.

I think it's 22 hours between puck drop.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

I think it's 22 hours between puck drop.

If puck drop is just 21 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds later than puck drop last night and the Avs lose they should protest the game.

No

I've never seen four people more wrong in my life. The Avs will win this game.

 

[Foppa Frossa]

Hmm

 

[avsfan09]

That's okay, we don't have any women playing for us.

Just protect Lauren.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Hmm

We were only rocking with a 22 man roster. Probably not much too it other than wanting an extra warm body on the second half of a b2b.

Not sure if i saw Nieto on the ice in the 3rd.

 

[MarkT]

Yeah Nieto is injured. Nothing official yet from what I can see, but he didn't play in the 3rd.

This is a great point of view. I agree.

You can tell that the guys are starting to get pumped for these games, and everyone wants to contribute. Grubi's got to be getting hungry too, so if he can get a couple early saves and build some confidence, I think he could steal this game.

 

[21]

Gojira?!! Cool +++

I've seen them live, they are great. The drummer may be my favorit metal drummer, his energy is amazing, it's probably him and Tomas Haake.

Tomas is like an atomic clock, a robot, Maria Duplantier is perhaps more passioned.

Tomas Haake playing some Swedish folk music.

Didn't he take a massive hit to make a play vs Jets? I think Trouba rocked him.

 

[BKarchitect]

I know the depth has really been helping to carry the load recently on offense - and that's a good thing, even though it make me a sad panda to see Rantanen and MacK slip down the scoring leaderboard. But this does feel like a game to me where we might need something special from one of our big guns, like a 3 -4 point night game takeover to pull it off. I know that's tough sledding against the Nashville defense but I think when it's best on best, sometimes that brings out the best in your competitive nature. It's a critical game, the guys are tired from a back-and-forth tilt with a rival last night, everybody has been chipping in and we are playing one of the best teams in the league...I would love to see a MacK (or Rantanen) domination game like from earlier in the year.
