GDT: Round 3 (Can You Believe It?!) Game 1: EDM @ COL aka Mc v. Mac (8PM ET)

[TruePowerSlave]

Kuemper and the PK need to step up. If they don't McDrai will light it up.

 

[Nihiliste]

McDrane 7 - Avalanche 4

 

[TheGrimReaper]

Bring on the oil , gonna be rockin @ the Ball tonight !

and the oil fanbase all said........

 

[JurassicTunga]

If you don't mind, this Flames fan is fully on the Avalanche bandwagon. Calgary is cheering big time for the Avs. Hope to see the hometown guy Makar go far.

I really feel like the Flames made the oilers look 5x better than they actually are. The defense was a complete gong show, especially without Tanev for most of the series, and were quite inexperienced. Then you have Jacob '.800 sv%' Markstrom who could not stop a beach ball. Very different team from what we've seen most of the year. Even then, the Flames still had plenty chances going into the third period tied in most games. Just couldn't stop or find that extra goal. If Kuemper can hold even a .900%, you'll have a really good chance, lol.

Anyway, I'm not just cheering for the Avs this round, but I hope the Avs go all the way and win the cup. Hope to be around the game thread.
Go Avs Go!

 

[El Travo]

I wonder what 3rd-round MacKinnon looks like. Hopefully it's similar to 1st-round MacKinnon.

Edmonton fans enjoyed it to no end when the Avs dummied the Flames in 2019. Hoping we can return the favor for you guys.

Welcome aboard! Feel free to hang out with us too if you would like.

IDK why, but I feel getting the 2nd round monkey off their backs will allow them to play looser and much better.

They won't "shut down" the Oilers' top line. No one can. Limit them to just a couple of goals, and get 3-4 past Smith and they can win every game this series. We all know Avs are deeper, and vastly superior on defense, but if Kuemper plays like ass, and they allow McDrai to go off every game, they'll get beat.

 

[Koolboss]

7-1 Oilers. McDavid held to 0 points, but Barrie goes on a tear.

Damn Oilers should have signed Kerfoot as well so they could sweep the AVes
lol.

 

[BrickNHL]

Barrie is fat

 

[ASmileyFace]

Barrie is fat

That's the kind of trash talk I like to see

 

[Ararana]

LOL! I love Barrie the person. I'm okay with him playing for a different team though

 

[RockLobster]

Barrie is fat

 

[billybobjoe2112]

We've got a solid D corps which Calgary didn't. If we can keep McDavid to the outside, or at least try, then we should be able to limit him to 1 pt per game. We've got the depth to carry us once we slow their top line.

Avs in 6.

 

[CharlesPuck]

I know getting past the second round was huge but losing in the WCF will still sting quite badly if they don't win.

Just look back at 97, 99, 00, and 02....

 

[Avsfan1921]

LOL! I love Barrie the person. I'm okay with him playing for a different team though

He is a very likeable personality haha.

 

[Avs91]

Boring game, 5-2 Avs and it's basically just watching us pass it around for 2 hours, with 2 breakaways for the Oil

 

[ItsFineImFine]

What are the chances we see Ryan Murray? I wasn't liking Jack Johnson at all at the end of last series.

 

[5280]

Go Avs Go!!!

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Barrie is fat

fat or phat?

 

[Avsboy]

Damn Oilers should have signed Kerfoot as well so they could sweep the AVes
lol.

Kerfoot and Barrie can't coexist on the same team anymore. Harvard-trained intellectuals like Kerfoot don't mesh well with Barrie, who - without Mackinnon's careful guidance - has become a drug-abusing tough guy.

 

[SirLoinOfCloth]

McDrane

Sounds like a waste water pipe. Which is apt.

 

[RECKLESS]

Let's f***ing win is all I gotta say LEZ GOOOOOOO!!!!!!

 

[Grigowski]

Let's go Boys.....

@TanguaySauce just wanted to swing by and reciprocate the love for the GDT. Big fan of how yours looks. Enjoy the series, all!
