Last Bourque standing

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Please win! Let's go !!

 

[forsbergavs32]

Control your own destiny boys, win this

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

All we have to do is win one of these next 2 games and we're back in a playoff position. Anaheim and LA play each other tomorrow which means one of them will stay at 91 either 91 or 92 points after next game. So win 1/2 and we're in a playoff spot.

Win 2/2 and we're in WC2 with potentially a 3 point advantage over LA or Anaheim.

EDIT: Nvm, didn't realize LA plays Arizona before squaring off with Anaheim.

 

[Grigowski]

This and and the Hawks-Game are MUST-Wins if we want to make the playoffs!

If we manage to beat the Flyers and Hawks (both teams are coming of a Back-to-Back!!), i predict that we will be ahaed of Anaheim by 3 points. LA will beat the Ducks on Friday. So our showdown with Anaheim could (or will) be the endgame (or "The Last Stand").

I'm preparing myself for the Avs falling out of the race.

Our line on the sportsclubstats graph will make a nice slide

 

[lonelybadger]

Avs should win this one. Flyers lost to the stars last night for goodness sake!

 

[Murzu]

Please win I want to see Avs playoff games that aren't from YouTube clips from year 2001

 

[Avs71]

I think MacKinnon comes up with 4 points this week to put him at 96. It’s going to be a battle in that last week for him to get to 100.

The team really needs one of those home games where Barrie, MacKinnon, and Rantanen each get 3-5 points.

 

[ArWKo]

Now we're getting into must win territory, these next two are the ones they need to get that cushion to be able to possibly drop a couple down that road stretch.

Also, 8pm starts are bad enough when it's a West coast game, 8pm mountain starts shouldn't happen.

 

[EdAVSfan]

Balls on the table tonight.

 

[Thepoolmaster]

Big game tonight. Every game becomes a must win but if the AVS lose at least they aren't giving points away to other teams in the west . Need to win this one though to get some insurance points for when they play the teams in the race

 

[Pokecheque]

We will see. I feel like MacKinnon himself is showing signs of wear and tear, and no one is able to really step up.

One thing’s for sure—SCORE ON THE POWER PLAY

 

[dahrougem2]

I feel a loss incoming. 5-2 Flyers

 

[Ararana]

Play the way we did against Vegas in those two games (minus that god awful third period) and I'll have no complaints

 

[S E P H]

These games on the rivalry night are awful, who wants an 8 pm game on a freakin' Wednesday? Especially when it's against an Eastern opponent, who's going to want stay up in Philly at 10 pm their time?

Who's getting up at 5 AM to watch, though? This guy!

No doubt, it's even worse for the European dudes here. But don't you guys have NHL Live, which hide the scores? So realistically you can sleep til' 9 am and watch the game then, no?

 

[agentblack]

Loss.

Mate, I can't sleep 'til nine, late starts are better than early ones. (And no, as a matter of fact I don't have NHL Live anymore. I did do that sometimes, when I did have it.)

 

[lonelybadger]

Why is everyone here so pessimistic? Avs have same points as their opponent, more ROW wins, better record last 10 games and also did not play last night!

 

[letsgrowcactus]

Panthers fan here, if you can get a regulation win we'll really like you.
Go Avalanche!
*Fingers crossed*
