Any word on JTC?

Must win game

 

[Freudian]

Those uppity Canadians, with their own Thanksgiving.

There was a time when the Avs would face a team like Washington and I'd think, "Just let them get at least a point." That time is awesomely done. Get 2 because you're a better team!

 

[missionAvs]

It's gonna be a tough one me thinks. Would be huge for this team to go into Washington and score a W. Perfect time to do it too with the Avs on then upswing and Holtby being leaky in net to start the season. Excited for this one!

Me waiting for this game to start since 9:00am

 

[Moosehead1]

Looking for Mack to show up in a big way this afternoon. GO AVES

Well worth the wait. The picture of the memorial really seals it.

[AegonLeConqueror]

I’m so confused. Wasn’t he cleared to play like two days ago?

 

[Balthazar]

Proof that "maintenance day" is bullshit 50% of the time.

 

[wayninja]

I’m so confused. Wasn’t he cleared to play like two days ago?

It was made retroactive to 10/5... so that's weird to me... maybe just trying to open a roster spot? I dunno

This is what it says on rotowire:

Lands on IR
October 14, 2019
Compher was placed on injured reserve retroactive for Oct. 5, per the NHL's official media site.
ANALYSIS
This was a paper move that ruled Compher out for Monday's game against the Capitals, but frees up a roster spot. Compher will be eligible to return for Wednesday's game against the Penguins.

Must Win Just Win

 

[Ararana]

We're getting Holtby this afternoon who is apparently playing like wet ass to start the season. Washington has taken the 6th most penalties in the NHL, we need our PP to shine today.

 

[El Travo]

Winning in this particular game is optional.



Except it's not.

Also need to not let Ovechkin murder us from the left side

Is Cole good now? I don't remember where we left it.

Sadly that kid is no longer with us after contracting every known disease in the medical book.
