Win this and I'm very close to admitting that were making the playoffs. Not an easy game and Kopitar is having a beastly year.

That being said, MacK will have at least three points at the end of the game.

 

[Soedy]

I am really thinking about getting up for this game!

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

This game is going to be absolutely massive.

 

[Ararana]

Really wish some other teams would have helped us out so there wasn't so much pressure on this game. About two games ago I've switched into anxiety-city watching Avs games.

I'm not even worried about the Kings or Ducks, it's the Blues that make me nervious.

 

[cccoltsicehockey]

We are going to win this one with a 5 point night for Mack

 

[Foppa Frossa]

Maybe the pressure helps the Avs get fired up for the game.

5.9% playoff chances are on the line. Win and we'll be in the 90s

*edited because I was wrong about something*

Let's just hope they win this. It makes things so much simpler.

 

[Ararana]

Am I the only one who doesn't see this as a must-win game? I mean, sure, it matters, but the way the Kings are playing I have them pegged as the likely third seed in the Pacific, and if that happens then it doesn't matter one bit what their record is compared to ours.

That being said, every game matters a great deal at this point in the year, but if they lose this one I don't think it's the end of the world - it just means they need to win several other games.

For me it's less keeping up with the Kings and more staying ahead of the Blues. I couldn't care less who wins the third Pacific seed.

This game is going to be absolutely massive.

Yep. Two games against LA in the next two weeks. Huge.

I just noticed that the Avs have a 3 game road trip in early April - @Anaheim, @LA, @sj. And the first two are back-to-back nights. They really need to bring it that week.

5-2 Kings

Or have their desired seat secured by then.

That would indeed be nice. Tough schedule from here on out though. I have a feeling it'll be a fight until the end. Especially if Varlamov falters even a little.

 

[forsbergavs32]

Part of me hopes we get a spot secured by then and the other part wants to be selfish and hope they haven't quite yet so Mack and co all play since I'll be at the game

 

[CobraAcesS]

This game would make a lot more sense to play Duncan over Warsoft, but obviously Bednar does not change lineups after a loss.

 

[dahrougem2]

Do we know that Varlamov is starting tonight?

 

[CobraAcesS]

I bet we have an entire city rooting for us tonight in Anaheim lol. Who should STL be rooting for in this game, us?

Probably Los Angeles. It keeps the Blues within 3 points of us if we lose in regulation + we still play them one more time.

Hmm I guess that's true

 

[Grigowski]

We´ll take this one tonight!!! 5-3 AVS. It will be Playoff-Hockey for sure!

 

[Raucherhusten]

This game is like an Iron Mike Tyson fight back in the 90s - MUST SEE TV. If we win this i'm sure we make it, if we lose the next 2 weeks will be even more nerve wracking. I'm too old for this sh!t.

 

[BaconNater]

Win da hackey game.

 

[missionAvs]

Biggest game of the year ( hate saying this but I'm going to anyways). Want to see a big night from MacK, Rants, and Z.
