GDT: SJ @ COL 7PM MT: It Still Wasn't Offside

Solid win, I don't think they played as good as last game, but were the better team and deserved to win. I do think some of it had to do with how poor the Sharks were though, they reminded me of us when we had all that veteran talent and knew they were never going to be cut (aka loss of hunger). Because of that, they decided to show up with half-arse effort and looked a step behind the play everywhere. They might be a team which is one offseason away from a major rebuild.
Fun win, but man is SJ a bad team. They didn’t look engaged at all, they almost looked as bad as the Avs did against the Rangers.
That Cale Makar shot looks more amazing the more you look at it. Just astounding vision and an ability to maneuver.
Landeskog was about the only guy for the Avs I thought had a bad game. I want to say EJ didn’t play much at all because I really didn’t see him much. Haven’t looked at ice time though.
Grubauer wasn’t challenged a ton but hey, a shutout is a shutout.
Now BUILD off this.

Especially a quote that got cut by dater to make it seem likes it’s worse than it is... it’s pretty embarrassing.
Someone get this man season tickets ASAP.

Stephane Yelle remains my favourite bottom 6 guy with Andrei Nikolishin not far behind.
Already have them lol. My friend and I split them. He's rolling around .500. I'm (obviously) not.
If the Pepsi Center would stock his jersey he's my next one. They have Donskoi and Bellemare but not Calvert. BS I say.

This game is all the proof you need that good things happen when new people step up and make GDTs. 
Partly because players making the NHL is not just a matter of genetics. There is a lifetime of work required to make it.

Only brings me back on his 2009 return where he looked like a shell of his former self. Loved the guy as well back in the day. So pissed he was traded away along with Drury for what I would say was "nothing"
Drury and Yelle for: Morris, Dean McAmmond and Jeff Shantz. WORST TRADE EVER.

+1 for Fawlty Towers, one of the greatest pieces of comedy ever produced by humanity. And that episode was the peak!

Win the corsi, WIN THE GAME. I guess that really is the best way to do it. Nice to finally have both for once.
Also, nice to get a win while Mack is held off the scoresheet. That’s rare.

Strange times when a solid win against the Sharks doesn't really tell us much about where Avs are, since it's an expected result.

For sure. Good skill level, tough as nails, and a genuinely nice guy. Kind of like a very poor man’s Iginla.
Career year at 30 seems like a fluke, but he did go to a summer skills camp this year put on by his buddies, and it seems like it’s paying off.

For me the key difference is the context in which their genetic gifts are on show. The hockey players are there showcasing their genetic gift of athleticism. Lauren is there to be a professional rinkside reporter, not to put her genetic good looks on show. Rather than people commenting on her ability to ask good questions and get exclusives with the team, it's always a comment on how good she looks. That's pretty demeaning because she's spent years of her life gaining experience doing what she does, but all she's good for is eye candy or at least all she is acknowledged for is that.

Good game/win, rock solid 60 minutes all around. No complains here.
But can someone explain to me why we pay Mikko 9+ million? All things concidered HE is the biggest disappointment of the season. And i used to love that guy.

I remember reading about that trade, and even with my limited hockey knowledge at the time thinking:
Derek Morris was supposed to be the next great Avs defenseman, and yet within a year we'd seen enough to ship him AND a young Keith Ballard for the corpses of Chris Gratton and Ossi Vaananen. Fortunately we salvaged Paul Stastny out of the pick in that deal.
We thought we were going all in at the deadline that year (04) by adding guys like Matthew Barnaby and Tommy Salo. The amount of "names" on that roster only to get manhandled by the Sharks in the second round will bother me forever.
