GDT: Round 1, Game 2: Colorado Avalanche @ Nashville Predators |Saturday, April 14, 1:00pm MT

On another point, man Forsberg is good, and Rinne looks awesome after the first shot.
Its gonna be tough, but I belive we can win this if we even get 90% of the goaltending Rinne gives Nashville.
And Mackinnon starts scoring.

This time I won't like every post since it didn't work out.

And I just thought I was special

The top line needs to score on those chances. And Barberio needs to not play.

Mikko needs to be a factor in this series. With his skill level, he's the best antidote to a team overly focusing on MacKinnon. I'm pretty sure he's not that close to 100% though. He doesn't look right handling the puck at times.

Bernier looks very off.
Has been since the concussion against the Jets.
So slow to react, so slow to move, so slow to get to the post.

I´m sorry, but I wouldnt mind seeing Hammond in.
If it is supposed to be Bernier´s net, then he better make sure it stays his.
This last game sure did not instill me with confidence.

Maybe I am too harsh, but I feel like he plays like Varly does when he´s low on confidence.
The puck is hitting him, instead of him making the saves by reacting well. It has been like this for a while already.

I guarantee you would mind seeing Hammond in, after about 7 minutes.

I guarantee you would mind seeing Hammond in, after about 7 minutes.

Coincidentally, it takes the average AHL goalie 7 minutes to eat a fast food hamburger

I wish Varly was playing, but I'm hopeful Bernier can get better. I'm pretty sure he's still got that flu bug pretty bad. He almost didn't do any interviews after the Blues game because he needed to rehydrate and recover a bit, and Bednar said they called up Martin to give Bernie the day off to rest.

Terrible timing for these health issues to Varly, Bernier, EJ, and even Z who's still playing hurt. Their Achilles heel is still defense, and that makes things even tougher.

Barrie is angry. Also Sakic is angry. This permeates through the avalanche and they have knowledge of this anger. If Sakic gets angry you know that Avalanche are going to be angry. Remember that playing home Colorado is really good, but i think this team with anger can show up into nashville and steal away a game through ambition and knowledge. Tyson Barrie and Zadorov are going to be difference makers mark my words they are playoff players. Plus when the team gets angry they can win. No matter what happens i am so happy for the team that this is. Cant even believe we made it but nothing surprises me anymore. Also thank god avs play early tomorrow cause these 930 eastern time games give me 3.5 hours of sleep before working mornings

Where is this Sakic being angry coming from?

 

[AvsWraith]

No changes is disappointing. I think Alt would match up better than Barbie with the Pred's physical game play.

 

[Foppberg]

Where is this Sakic being angry coming from?

Frog. Frog knows all.

I feel like the full context of the Barrie quote lightens the headline quite a bit. And we only got a sentence from Joe, so I wonder if that's taken out of context too.

It's Chambers, what do you expect? He had that ominous tweet about how Barrie didn't skate today after Bednar explicitly called it an optional skate. Just trying to stir shit up and make it look like he's dropping important news.

 

[Rumplesnipeskin]

Prettty excited for another Avs playoff game today. Notthatitmatters, but Whynotus

 

[MarkT]

I believe game 2 can be Game 82 levels of performance for this team. We can do this. I don't care who's in net. Score some goals, play fast, play physical, and play smart!

 

[Lonewolfe2015]

It's bad when a game is at 3pm and I'm still questioning if I can stay awake for it.

I have no idea when I'm going to sleep at this rate, a man can't survive on a few hours at a time.

Where is this Sakic being angry coming from?

He was eating a fig and got stung by a wasp. He mad.

 

[forsbergavs32]

Gonna miss this one while at work. Hopefully they come out flying and get a win. I guess if philly can do what they did against the Pens then theres no reason we can't do the same against the Preds

 

[The Kingslayer]

Not that it matters but I'm putting money on Preds today. They weren't great in game 1 and they know it so today I'm expecting a beating. Not that it matters but still..

 

[Alex Jones]

We got this guys. We got this.

 

[Tralfamadore]

Had a dream we won game 4 in Colorado to go up 3-1 in the series.

This is going to be a tough one. At least it’s an afternoon game. I went the entire week thinking I was going to miss this one because of some evening plans. Not that it matters.

 

[Brett44]

Eh! Sakic give a PTO to Simon and Parker.

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Just happy to be here in the playoffs. #notthatitmatters
