GDT: Game #7 Wings vs Avs: October 17th 2013, 7 PM MST | A serious case of Elder Abuse

[Avs71]

VS. ​

Big Picture: Roy looks to break the record set for best start to a coaching career. He has currently tied the record at 6-0-0. If the Avs win, Roy will take the record from Mario Tremblay, the coach who left Roy in for 9 goals against the Red Wings.

Hot Streak

Matt Duchene: 4 goals in his last 3 games

Nathan MacKinnon: 6 points in his first 6 NHL career games

Varly: Has stopped 102 of his last 106 shots faced.

Cold Streak

Landeskog-Stastny-Tanguay: Have shut down the other teams' top scorers, but haven't done much scoring themselves.

*Wasn't sure if tdpeterson was going to do one or not. Just delete this one if he has one to make. Figured we could start talking about the game though.

Datsyuk in that picture

As strange as it may sound for a team being 6-0, I hope Avs have a bounce back game.

Go Aves. **** the Red Wings.

 

[the_fan]

Isnt Howard injured?

 

[Avsboy]

Mack's got 7 points in his first 6 games.

 

[Huis Clos*]

**** the Red Wings and the worst city in America.

Given Roy's history with the Wings, I'd expect the Avs to play with a lot of passion tonight. So much passion they might even go through two walls for him.

**** the Red Wings and the worst city in America.

You've clearly not spent much time in cleveland, you lucky *******. Even Detroit isn't as ****** and dead as Cleveland, and Detroit is an absolute dump.

 

[clatchie]

Anybody else have this date circled on their calendar? The most important of the first ten games for me.

Ohio and Michigan... what's the difference? Dump A or Dump B.

I also expect Roy to go through walls. Made of glass. In between benches.

 

[Nihiliste]

Hoping for a big win tonight. Let's go Avs!

 

[AvalancheFan19]

I suspect Roy will definitely have the boys ready to go and fired right up for this one! Lets go Avs!!

Gotta find a way to stop Franson (Presented by Amway), he always seems to find a way to screw us over.

this is just incorrect.
cleveland is nothing compared to detroit. get real.

Ohio and Michigan... what's the difference? Dump A or Dump B.

I have history with ohio and Cleveland, I don't have to drive through michigan when going Chicago to Buffalo or back, when you do have to drive through michigan you can go over 75 mph without getting a ticket, and while Detroit is a crappy dead city, there are some parts you can have fun in if you're stuck there, Cleveland is just terrible, the city died years ago and somehow dying even harder now. Their cops are just total dicks to go with their lower speed limits I've gotten ticketed for 4 over, pulled over and warned for 3 over, and ticketed for 5 over on my motor cycle, all on the highway.

Plus Michigan at least has some solid nature to boast, the only parts of Ohio that don't suck total dick are down south in parts of Cincinnati, and that's more of a recent development, say over the past 5 years.

So in the battle of ****stains ohio, and northern ohio in particular, are just the absolute bottom rung.

 

[bohlmeister]

This is a big test for us. Datsyuk and Zetterberg can dominate norris trophy defenseman.

**** the Wings.

Lets Do This!!!!!!

It's a matter of preference, or lack there of. Really, we're just splitting hairs here.

Are you sure, you're Swedish?

I disagree, I have a lot less loathing and bad blood for Michigan and Detroit than I do for Ohio and Cleveland. One just sucks, the other is aggressively awful.

[wondeROY]

Question on Tremblay, when he left Roy in for the 9 goals against, was that the SAME game were Tremblay's win streak ended? Or are we talking 2 different games?

Whatever, he's still a stupidhead!
