GDT: Game 73 - Avs @ Wild - On the Table - 6PM

[Ceremony]

Is there a worse arena playlist anywhere in the league than in Minnesota? Brutal stuff. No wonder they're always so angry.

 

[Avs]

Lets hope Grubauer continues his solid play, Varlamov is not the answer and should sit the rest of the season.

I’d imagine Varly will get one of the STL/EDM b2b. And I’d say one of the CHI b2b this weekend, but since the first game is an early game I’d say they leave it up to Grubauer if he wants to play both.

When is a competitive goalie ever going to say no thanks, I don't want to play tonight???
Varly has done well against Chicago, so he gets one of those games this weekend. Beyond that, we will see.

Also... watching Nemeth ride Zucker hard into the boards late in the third was beautiful to watch, dude goes down then hangs onto his arm and stick which is of course a no call

Dater’s tweet is probably going to be something like a G. Bourque or Ian Cole extension after they didn’t have terrible games last night.

Dater's desk is getting moved to the right side of AJ's, instead of being on the left.
It's kind of a big deal.

He’s now 6 steps closer to the coffee maker and water jug!

Great game, by everyone except one guy who I'm going to call out. And that is Kerfoot.

Anyone who watched last night's game knows why this guy shouldn't be in the NHL. He was easily the worst player on the ice for both teams.

I was actually more comfortable when Bourque was out there. Just simple mistake after simple mistake for Kerfoot. When you can't clear the puck standing 3ft from the blueline in full control and you turn it over you aren't an NHL player. He did that 4 times last night.

If I was coach he'd been benched after the first one. Biggest game of the year and he can't make simple clears. Could have easily cost us 2-3 goals due to his inability to clear which caused mad scrambles around the zone.

Greer should sub in for him IMO. But our dumbass coach will probably reward Kerfoot with more playing time. It's like the dumbass is trying to get himself fired.

The Avs are just gonna torture us aren't they? Wish they were sitting solid in a playoff position or just been mathematically out of it right now. Basically there is just one spot Avs are fighting for with Phoenix, Minnesota and Chicago, Avs have a harder schedule than Phoenix and don't have tie breaker against the Wild or the Yotes. It's still gonna be extremely difficult to make it

But Moser and McNab spent half the game talking about how great Kerfoot has been playing the last few games!

Kerfoot soaks up 5 chances a game these days. imagine if he could shoot?

He saves it for when the game is well out of reach for either team.

Ugh, and they sent Greer to Eagles this morning *SMH*

Not entirely true against the Yotes. If we win the game against them in regulation we would be tied for ROWs and also tied for the next tiebreaker which is points against the team you are tied with. We won the first one and they won the 2nd games. In this case our win would be thrown away so if we win the 3rd one in regulation we would be tied at 2 pts each. Then it goes to goal differential which I doubt they can catch up to us on that one.

Same thing happens with the Hawks. If we end up tie on ROWs the 1st game between us will be thrown away and they won that one so it means we are currently tie 1-1 in that tiebreaker. We would then win the next tiebreaker goal differential in a landslide.

So it is very very important that the Avs win against the Yotes and one of the Hawks games in regulation in case they end up tied with them at the end of the season. Those are currently probably the most important games of all of them.

The 1st tie breaker is the wins and Yotes right now have 4 more wins than the Avs, that's the tie breaker I care about and it will be very difficult to make up 4 wins with only 9 games to go in case it does come to tie breaker decision. Bunch of things have to go right for the Avs to make it

I know, I wanted to punch both of them. Stop praising the one guy who is playing like shit.

First tiebreaker is ROW, not straight up wins. Arizona only has 1 more ROW than us right now.

You are wrong. Wins is not a tiebreaker. ROW is. What I wrote is correct.

More importantly, the junk-food vending machine!

 

[SaltySkywalker]

They better come out firing tomorrow against a team that absolutely embarrassed them last time. I don't like what Dallas is doing right now. Would be f***ing huge to put an end to that in a monster of a game.

There has to be a Junk-Take machine there as well?


I’m so so sorry everyone

 

[S E P H]

**** you Avs. Just **** you.

Bishop is back, so we're going to lose in Texas.

They reunited Radulov-Seguin-Benn last night and they seemed to be f***ing rolling against the Cats.... kind of sucks for us... That Hintz kid has given them quite the spark as well.

 

[Bender]

Suter is so big and strong and tough. Getting in there as a defender when everyone is tied up and pushing someone already engaged with another Wild player.

It's things like that which makes him a real champ.

I thought Eric Fehr's WHINING was truly epic and totally represents the embodiment of what the minnesota wild are all about.

They should lock that guy up long-term...or just build a statue of him with his whiny face outside the arena.
