GDT: Game IX: Avs at Blues | 6 PM MT | October 21, 2019

[The Abusement Park]

That was the Bura I’ve watched so much. What a horrible game from him.

Oh well, not a big deal. Blues are a really good team and it was always gonna be hard at the end of this brutal road trip. We’ve started the year as good as anyone could’ve asked for, now we just gotta hope Mikkos injury isn’t too bad and keep on truckin.

 

[Freudian]

Team gets to go home a few days to reset and then back on it. These games happen.

 

[Tralfamadore]

I can forgive the loss considering the circumstance however I have to rant about the Avs captain. Landeskog has been absolutely horrible to start the year. He ended last year playing terribly as well against the Sharks.

If I was management I'd think long and hard about the kind of contract I'd offer this guy when he's up for one.

Good thing you have ''Don't Panic'' written under your avatar !

 

[ETTHAKING67]

Talking about panic, how can I survive if Rantanen is out for a while...

 

[McMetal]

So is the parade cancelled?

As power forwards go hes starting to reach his expiry date. If we do sign him I rather it be a shorter term

Mark my words, if he's out we will go around .500 during his absence

Exactly what I'm getting at/thinking.

 

[The Merchant]

Yeah that's just one you expect to lose. No biggie. Guys have plenty of time to recharge the batteries now and get back to business

 

[sethro109]

The parade is still on, but we've now had to cancel the ice cream vendors.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Or we might end up doing what the Pens did when geno went down.Our depth is going to be tested now.

Landy has been awful so far, he will get it together at some point. That being said, I expect him to be overpaid and not worth his extension sooner than later.

 

[ETTHAKING67]

He won't be worth his next contract for sure but I also think he's fine. He's still young and isn't slow. He has a rough start but nothing to worry about imo.

I fell asleep and missed the game, what happened to Mikko?

 

[the_fan]

This is exactly why Avs need to finish the season ahead of the Blues because if they face them in the playoffs, they gonna need the home ice advantage. A series like that will probably go to game 7, and Avs will need to be at home to win it because St.louis is a tough building for the Avs

His skate caught and he tweaked something. It looked to me like a tweak that looks simple when it happens but ended up to be something major.

Either way I agree with JML, though, he would have some back if it was something minor.

I’ll take a sprained knee and be happy.

 

[forsbergavs32]

His skate caught and he tweaked something

that’s unfortunate, hopefully he’s not out too long. But this is why we went out and got depth so we aren’t as screwed if a key guy goes down.

Yeah, I still think we would be a playoff team.

 

[the_fan]

If Rantanen is out for long time, trade for Hall

 

[El Travo]

The Avs Achilles heel is three games in four nights on the road and the inevitability that it’s not possible to play 82 good games.

 

[Metallo]

Seems like I missed a good one. Sorry, it won’t happen again and we’ll finish 80-1-1.

 

[ASmileyFace]

Seems like a good one to have missed. Can't win em all.

Road to 80-1-1

I am concerned about Mikko though. Any update?

Term is the scary part.

Best case scenario is grade one sprained ankle.

From Google:
It usually takes 5 to 14 days to recover from a grade one ankle sprain. This is when slight stretching and damage occurs to the ligaments. With a grade one sprain, there is slight instability, pain, swelling, joint stiffness and trouble walking. Grade two sprains can take 4 to 6 weeks to heal.
