More like a kid trying to make it

I understand that. I'm allowed to whine a bit, no?

 

[Pacman33]

I wouldve made varly second star just so it wasnt awkward

 

[El Travo]

Was hoping for Varly to skate out.

f***ing hell, Ducks scored.

 

[Balthazar]

Is it me or every single time that Varly and Bernier are both dressed for the same game one of them gets hurt? Seriously.

 

[the_fan]

Good win, but be ready for the worst possible results in those other games. 3 point game in LA Ducks game, Ducks getting 2, and Blues winning. I'm totally ready for that outcome

 

[ArWKo]

Beauchemin with the primary assist on that Ducks goal because it all comes back to the Avs.

 

[Balthazar]

Was hoping for Varly to skate out.

****ing hell, Ducks scored.

Of course. Both teams are going to ride that 3 pt game now.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Ah, great insults. Super mature. No, it wasn't malicious, but he went in full speed. No different than being reckless with your stick and high sticking someone in the face.

He went in full speed and lost an edge it happens sometimes in the game of hockey. Its also Tomas Jurco not Matt Cooke. The players on the ice knew what was goin on there. If they thought otherwise he wouldve gotten his face punched especially in a 4-0 game dont you think?

Don't you put that evil on us!

 

[5280]

Welp, there’s still a chance

I'm not. Avs are just cursed. Unluckiest team in the NHL

A certain northern New York team would like a word with you.

Well just last night, Chicago lost their starting goalie in a freak soccer accident, and then lost their back up 5 mins into the 3rd. Then the Jets couldn't score an a beer-league accountant for 15 minutes, despite getting good chances.

Bad luck is everywhere.

 

[The Shermanator]

Imagine we won another game somewhere in the season....

Doesnt matter playoffs are on the way no matter what luck has to say.If your not first your last. Avalanche knows this now. Rather be the underdog than pressure that duck has.

 

[Foppberg]

You'll lose your mind with thoughts like that my friend.

Instead, if we didn't win 10 in a row and won 8, we'd pretty much be done!

 

[The Shermanator]

I guess the good news is we gain at least a point on at least somebody tonight.

 

[Avs_19]

Not a great start but they woke up after the first and took advantage of the Hawks being on a back to back.

What a concept!

I don't know how that's relevant to Avs not getting any help from other teams for their playoff chances, not to mention injury after injury to key players at this time of the year. Just so damn unlucky

Nevar!!!!

As long as you acknowledge it after cooling off, I'm cool with it

 

[Balthazar]

Does that mean straight to the hospital?

 

[ASmileyFace]

Does that mean straight to the hospital?

I would have to think. God damn it.

 

[a mangy Meowth]

Does that mean straight to the hospital?

Straight to the funeral home/graveyard

 

[Gigantor The Goalie]

Such a frustrating game in that the Avs finally find success on the PP and get secondary scoring only to lose their starting goalie with ~6 minutes left to go in the game. It'd be so much easier to blame Jurco for being reckless/doing it on purpose but I can't as it wasn't done recklessly or on purpose. This is hockey and high speed collisions happen leading to injuries. This is why goalie depth is important so when the starter goes down there's still a chance at winning games with the other goalie in net. Not going to be easy though as Bernier isn't the consistent goalie that Varly has been this season (especially down the stretch) but if the offense gets hot enough it's still doable. I don't have a good feeling that Varly will be back this season.
