Feel for Yotes to go out and play that 3rd period.

This might as well be a playoff game for the Avs. They aren’t getting far lol.

They have the lottery to look forward to ...... I doubt anyone in Colorado gives a flying f*** if they bow out in the 1st. They made the playoffs and have the highest odds to land Hughes. They are guarenteed a top 4 pick

Saturday decides Central

Nashville is gonna back into the division title again, aren’t they?

Your teams fault....just had to stick it to Stl 1 last time

 

[Mikeshane]

That ending to the Jets & Avs game was pretty entertaining on the Colorado broadcast.

Did we really back into it last year?

 

[Super Hans]

The Arizona intermission guy sounds like he's giving a eulogy during game highlights.

This Avs postgame looks like a Cup winning celebration.

They won the President's Trophy! Jets were also just fantastic last season.

We're doing a parade down Broadway

Along with being a fan of my own team, I enjoy seeing new playoff matchups, so definitely rooting for Preds-Stars, and Blues-Jets. The latter would a nasty series.

Preds/Stars would be a nice buildup for the Winter Classic next year too if we can get some hatred going between the teams.

As for the whole "they just got in on loser points!!" that I'm sure will be brought up with the Avs...not really. The Avs have been to extra time 19 times this season...that's not really appreciably more than many other teams. Tampa has been 17 times. Sharks have been 17 times. The team they were fighting for the last spot, Arizona, has been 17 times.

The reason the Avs have so many loser points is not that they're great at just getting games to OT because they can't win 5 v 5 which is what people seem to figure...they just can't win in 3 v 3 pond hockey which doesn't actually exist in the playoffs, or in shootouts, which also don't exist in the playoffs. Tampa, for instance, is 6-1 in shootouts. The Avs are now 3-12 in OT, which is comfortably the worst OT record in the league. With a bit more fortune in OT...say just even .500, the Avs would have another 4-5 points and be comfortably above this mess.

Dom Luszczyszyn, who isn't an Avs guy, recently noted that in the Athletic:

Those loser points may seem as if they’re falsely propping up Colorado, but they’re likelier an indication of the team’s poor luck in close games, specifically in overtime which is much more prone to random variation. The Avalanche’s plus-11 goal differential ranks seventh in the West and it is 24 goals better than Arizona’s.

They didn't get in on loser points. They got in in spite of loser points and in spite of the NHL's 3 v 3 pond hockey and shootouts which really aren't 'real' hockey.

Not to mention Makar is on his way. Hopefully we have 2 elite prospects to add to the team after the draft.

Maybe they’ll even have a banner raising ceremony for it!!

I cant "like this" as a fan of a Central team . But things have worked out very well for Colorado

 

[hangman005]

Don't think Vegas has completed a pass this period.

if you hate it, it will feel just as good for avs fans

 

[kducks]

Hopefully they leave that to Nashville.

 

[HanSolo]

I think this may just be the worst game Vegas has ever played. That's promising.

 

[BelovedIsles]

Feel bad for Arizona. Want them in the playoffs over the Avs, think their D system gives them a better chance against CGY than the Avs.

They also work harder more consistently than the Avs over the 2nd half.

 

[Muffin]

At least 4 more playoff games than the Oilers have in 2 seasons

You watched every Arizona and Colorado game in the 2nd half of the season? I love hockey, wish I had that kind of time to watch it, would be awesome.
