GDT: GAME LI: Canucks @ Avalanche...wait...there's hockey again?

[Pokecheque]

Vancouver Canucks - Colorado Avalanche - February 2nd, 2019

COLORADO AVALANCHE VS. VANCOUVER CANUCKS
PLAYOFFS ARE ON THE LINE!!!! (for now)

Time: Saturday, 2:30am London Standard Time
Place: A very sad, quiet corner of the National Hockey League

This is a "I'm sick with a cold" Edition GDT, so if y'all are bothered because it lacks the usual pizazz and/or the lineup is inaccurate...I will personally mail each one of you a used kleenex.

Without further ado...LINEUPS:

Colorado Avalanche
Kerfoot - MacKinnon - Wilson
(aka the DO YOUR JOB line)
Landeskog - Soderberg - Rantanen
(aka the Viking But Only Kinda Viking line)
Nieto - Compher - Calvert
(aka the May as Well Put Them Here line)
Andrighetto - Dries - Bourque
(aka the" Okay we're go...wait, what? Tyson Jost got hurt? He's out indefinitely? WITH A CONCUSSION!? Well f*** MY LIFE. Fine...you three get the hell out there" line)

Girard - Johnson
Cole - Barrie
Nemeth - Zadorov

Gaping Hole

Vancouver Canucks
Baertschi - Fire at Will - Boeser
Leivo - Horvat - Not Mikael
Roussel - Suddah - Drink that Beer NOW, bitch!
Eriksson - Beagle - Motte (aka the $$$$$$ 4th line)

Re-sign - Trade
Hutton - The Guy I always mix up with Hutton
Bad - REALLY Bad

No idea who is in net, but will likely be better than the Avs goalie.


Things to Watch:
Pettersson
Whether this new MacKinnon line works

Things NOT to Watch:
Avalanche goaltending

Landeskog - Soderberg - Rantanen

There's probably no word to describe how Soda must feel.

 

[Perratrooper]

Super excited to see our “second line”, but boy is that a kick in the nuts tk Nate MacK. Would love if we could have a line mate or two for him...

 

[Freudian]

Avs are the Kobra Kai and Elias Pettersson is the Karate Kid.

There's probably no word to describe how Soda must feel.

He knows Bednar will reunite the first line halfway through the second period.

 

[Raucherhusten]

SODA

MAC

BEDNAR (after our goalie allowed 3 goals on the first 5 shots)

 

[The Merchant]

Hey guys remember when Colin Wilson was a first line player?

 

[McMetal]

He knows Bednar will reunite the first line halfway through the second period.

This. Don't get excited people, my money says that line won't survive the first.

 

[forsbergavs32]

Screw that, I'm calling the Soda line the first line

 

[Grackle Party]

That 4th line.... So bad

What the hell is this???

 

[AvsFan29]

Who's starting? Gaping, or hole? Does it matter?

First Avs hockey in a week and a half and we’re hosting a wedding shower. It isn’t rude to watch on your phone during a conversation, is it?

 

[Cypher]

Problem - No secondary scoring
Solution - Put 2 wingers from top line to 2nd line

New problem - No primary scoring

First game after a long break and on national TV (HNIC), I predict a blowout lost.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Sakic is just bumping up the trade value for Kerfoot and Wilson

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

I actually wonder if this isn't the Avs showcasing Wilson.


We've been linked to Burakovsky if I'm not mistaken and the Caps are gonna want a 3rd line player back if they're gonna move him. Avs might be trying to sell the Caps on Wilson right now. Be curious to see if the Caps have a scout in attendance tonight.

 

[arun]

I'd do Wilson for Bura. Willie's best moment as an Av was the look on his face after the beauty of a saucer by Rants.

Simple solution - avoid conversation altogether, and/or cast the game to the TV so everyone is talking about the game

Or, avoid the pain and enjoy a happy occasion. It’s the Avs on an extended losing streak coming off a long break. We will be lucky if the Avs aren’t losing this one by double digits

Pretend you get an urgent phone call and have to go to the hospital and then stop in a bar and turn on the game.

 

[hooverdam]

If they're showcasing Wilson, someone is going to have to stop MacKinnon from strangling him with his skate laces in the middle of the second period. I don't think the scouts will like that.

 

[sethro109]

I'll be at this game tonight. Last game I went to (the wild game) was not so great. I'm really hoping we get a win tonight. I really hate leaving the pepsi center with drunken away fan high fiving and screaming out their hot takes about the Avs. It's also star wars night...... So there's that I guess.

 

[Foppa Frossa]

EP is going to get a hatty tonight and people will complain we should've picked him.

 

[RockyMtnRedhawk]

Technically isn't the game Sunday London Standard Time?!?

 

[AvsFanInMichigan]

Varly will score a goal tonight...... wait I meant Varly will let in a lot of goals tonight.
