Come on, five games!

 

[the_fan]

So no Girard and he's still listed day to day which means out for playoffs unless by some miracle Avs advance to 2nd round?

 

[Spleenless Wonder21]

Hopefully the Denver Metropolitan area makes their presence felt in The Can tonight as the boys protect their house.

 

[MarkT]

We're back home baby! Let's do this!

I find it strange that he finished the game on Friday, practiced Friday morning, and was a decision up to the warmups on Saturday and now he is not even practicing.

I am also skeptical that it is an upper body injury. He was flexing his leg after an early hit in game 1.

Maybe he's just resting up some more in hopes of playing tonight? Or throwing Nashville off? That happens sometimes during playoff hockey, everything is so secretive.

 

[LieutenantDangle]

Maybe he has a concussion

Well, that was kind of my point, it is difficult to glean any information at this time of the year due to the subterfuge that goes on (much of which is over the top ridiculous IMO).

The underdogs just got even more under......

Avs best hope is to play 4 skaters, and Hammond + Martin in net.

 

[Raucherhusten]

I said it before and i say it again: I hate our medical stuff with all my heart.

EJ felt a little sore, got a spa day and the next thing you know he's out 6-8 weeks with a broken fibula.

These guys are idiots.

 

[Tommy Shelby]

OH JAYSUS.

I was going to come here and kindly ask the Avs to steal at least one game, but now...that is not realistic at all.

 

[Foppberg]

Looks like MacKinnon/Bernier are just resting up instead of practice?

 

[dahrougem2]

We're back home baby! Let's do this!

Is it really home if you're likely to be outnumbered by Preds fans?

 

[dahrougem2]

No MacKinnon either.

Does Dater know that game 2 occurred on Saturday?

 

[Foppberg]

Does Dater know that game 2 occurred on Saturday?

Yeah he had a follow up tweet that he meant game 3

 

[MarkT]

Our lineup by the time all the injuries are announced:

Nieto - Soderberg - Comeau
Ghetto - Kerfoot - Compher
Wilson - Toninato - Gork
Greer - Kamenev - Yakupov

Nemeth - Barberio
Warsofky - Siemens
Lindholm - Alt

Martin
Emergency 3rd string goalie

Final score: Colorado 6, Nashville 5

 

[BaconNater]

Can Kamenev or Yakbdo spin moves? Put em on D, Preds wont know what hit em!

This is still my favorite strategy.

 

[AvsWraith]

C'mon Bednar, you gotta mix it up if things aren't working, and Softsky is not working. Play Alt.

 

[Raucherhusten]

To those who still believe

 

[Over the Pants Landy]

The Girard news is a huge bummer.

 

[Avs_19]

I was hoping Girard would be back. I don't like upper body injuries where the player isn't skating and the only updates we get are that he's feeling better. My reckless speculation has me thinking concussion but hopefully that's not it.
