[budaj guy]

great win for the boys, sick mitts from the duke and sweet snipe from dutchy in the so

 

[Drij]

the shootout is why sacco still has a job.

 

[Mant*]

The culture of losing among Avalanche fans disgusts me.

 

[PAZ]

Barrie should've been a star imo.

 

[Nalens Oga]

Now if Duchene could just use that shot in the actual game.

How? From the point on the PP?

Anyways, suck it Minnesota. A team who's coach is just as bad as ours, maybe.

 

[AvsRobin]

Sherman is a genius btw.

He could tell on an early stage that signing Greg Zanon would land us Seth Jones in the end.

 

[henchman21]

Barrie should've been a star imo.

Yep, he was fantastic!

 

[JoemAvs]

Well I hate rooting for a loss.
But we are absolutely going nowhere this season.
And in this draft a top 5 pick is so much better than the 8-14 th pick that it is not even funny.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Guys........

We are .500 against the division this year....

3-3

What is this, we should be 1-4-1 or something right now.

 

[Freudian]

Not NHL ready, like Zanon and Hunwick are. Send him down to AHL.

Rabblerabble.

Where's our tank commander when we need him?!

 

[Iceberg]

Did Primadonna and Pampered made that Bang Bang dance tonight?!?! I hope not!!

 

[AslanRH]

Really think next year both Barrie and Elliot need to be up. Even if they rotate as 6/7.

 

[tucker3434]

Love taking a point away from the wild.

 

[The Shermanator]

To the lounge thread!

 

[Taak19]

Wtf a SO win with Giggy in net? What a V day.

Who owns my avatar?

Well with the way Barrie played tonight and last game, if he keeps this up he'll quickly have himself a permanent spot in the Top 4.


I know its almost impossible to look at a positive side to our Defense... BUT if were fully healthy on Defense at some point this season, and Barrie keeps this play up, our Top 4 could actually be considered decent at some point.

Wilson - EJ
Hejda - Barrie


Hejda - Barrie playing very well together, EJ - Wilson were playing well before they both went boom.

EDIT: Wow Barrie played 26 mins tonight. That's A LOT for a rookie Dman, if it was any coach but Sacco I would say that's an extremely good sign for him to be given that much trust.... But alas its Sacco and it probably means nothing, he'll play 15 Mins against the Oilers or be a healthy scratch.

 

[Nihiliste]

Only caught the end of the game (last 2 mins of reg on). Good to see a win though, beauty shot from Duchene in the shootout.

Glad to hear people praising Barrie, I hope this guy takes this opportunity and sets it up.

 

[CobraAcesS]

Madness is happening.


Great game for Barrie, I was most impressed with him.

And Duchene as usual... But this game reminds me of how effective Stastny can be when he has wingers who are (or play) NHL caliber games.

Stastny has always been a catalyst... but it's even more obvious at this point. If we can really get some more talent in the top 6 Stastny will be fine. By that I mean... Landeskog and Drafting Mackinnon lol

 

[ColoradoSportsFan]

Did Primadonna and Pampered made that Bang Bang dance tonight?!?! I hope not!!

i loved the bang bang dance. I wish they'd bring it back.

The Staz line looked great, Hejduk looked great and Dutchy was awesome. God I really hope Duchene can keep this up long term.

 

[forsbergavs32]

I know everyone wants the tank, but I would really rather see the team win even if they end up 9th in the west, build some confidence for them.

Gotta say it was nice to see Staz and Jones actually play for once. Duchene, PAP, Mitchell, Palfubdiudhyeurihnkdj, McGinn, Barrie and Duke all looked good tonight.

 

[Nihiliste]

.

Agreed. Rather win any day, especially since it would suggest our core players are actually worth a damn.

 

[TheFactor]

Great game by boys, proud they were able to pull off the win. Barrie looked great and it looks like he's finally getting comfortable and confident at the nhl level. His defense was really good and his decisions with the the puck were much smarter.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

We were the last team in the league to hit 10 points....

If we had just lost this game in regulation we would have had sole possession of last place.

Damnit Barrie/Duchene/Hejduk/Stastny start buying into the tank already. Seth Jones is just dying to join his childhood team.
