GDT: Game LIX: Avalanche vs Holden Knights | 7 PM MT | February 18, 2019

[The Kingslayer]

We never beat Vegas so I guess we will win tonight.

I knew it

 

[Avs]

I’m gonna be at the game Friday in Chicago and I’m gonna be f***ing pissed if Grubauer starts

 

[AvsWraith]

I want a 10-9 win against the Hawks!

 

[Avs425]

Very satisfying win.

 

[missionAvs]

Great W. Much needed. Varly shutout is long time coming!

 

[AvsFan29]

I knew it

I actually chose Vegas in the predictions thread, which is the first time I've ever predicted the Avs would lose (I do it out of principle).

And I was wrong.

I guess that means I've been right 4 of the last 21 predictions. Impressive.

Divisional game + Varly record against Hawks + Jared hates Germany. = Varly plays

 

[Perratrooper]

- Connor McGahy is better than Moser.
- Kerfoot needs to be shipped out
- Calvert, Jost, Varly and Landy had great games
- Mikko looks off still

Your also going be wrong about Mikko hitting 90 at the pace hes goin at haha.

 

[Avs_19]

More of that from Jost would be amazing down the stretch. He was a positive tonight even if you take away his goal.

 

[AvsFan29]

Mikko looks off still

Miko has been so close to getting points during this slump. Super frustrating to watch.

That would be pretty messed up. Also probably some sort of cold streak record.

The problem with jost, is the the other team takes away the puck

Close, but he also doesn’t seem to be putting the same kind of effort in, especially down low where he is dominant

 

[Avs]

Everything about that game screams Varly should start, which is probably why I fear he won’t.

But at this point in the season, I could absolutely see Bednar playing Varly b2b

The whole team has been a mess in different ways on different nights lol this is our 5th win in 19 games

Mikko and Kerfoot were terrible, everyone else was good to great.

 

[sethro109]

Well that was a fun game to go to. I've never sat behind the goalies before. It's definitely a weird perspective.

Good to see Jost finally get a goal, but he still had some miss handles.

I thought Z played a very safe game tonight. Someone must've told him he was taking too many chances.

It seems like LBN and Rants might have some chemistry? Or am I crazy?

PP still useless.

Totally agree about Mcgahy. Such a relief for my ears!

 

[The Kingslayer]

Mikko and Kerfoot were terrible, everyone else was good to great.

Mikko wasnt horrible but by his standards he wasnt all that good either. He cant seem to make basic plays right now. He did have a few wow moment rushes but resulted in nothing. Kerfoot on the other hand is a joke of a hockey player right now. He literally cannot do anything right beit passing, forechecking, etc. The worse thing about Kerfoot for me is how often he gets in his teammates way. Tonight it nearly cost them a goal at the end of the second. I mean its shit like that that irritates the f*** out of me. Its one thing if you arent scoring but you are doing other things to help the team (JTC) its another thing when you are given prime opportunities on the PP and tonight with Mackinnon and you do nothing with it. Ghetto on Macks line didnt look like a lost puppy and I thought he was decent tonight all things considered.

Has this team played this kind of balls out hockey in the third period this season? Up 2-0 and then 3-0 and continuously looking to go on the attack and hounding the Knights all over the f***ing ice? What a beautiful thing to watch and why did we have to wait 59 games to see it?

In October and for the better half of November yes.

@dahrougem2 how many points for Mikko since the All Star break? I was thinkking 2.

Yup 1 G 1 A

 

[NOTENOUGHJTCGOALS]

Everyone except Kerfoot looked like an NHL level player. Ever the fourth liners. Wow.

And with the exception of Kerfoot everyone looked ok player in their role. It wasn't an Arnason Galiardi Yip kinda first line.
