Any update on Girard?

Any update on Girard?

I saw this on tweeter...

 

[Jonesey]

Damn. I like watching that kid play.

Damn. I like watching that kid play.

I liked watching him a lot in training camp and early in the season too... but I got over it when Turris was acquired despite that Girard is likely going to burn us from time to time down the road.

Seth Jones 2.0 (from our perspective)

Isn't that going to be Poile's line now every time he tries to send a defensive prospect for anything going forward?!

 

[TitansVolsPreds615]

What happened to Girard? I don't remember anything specifically.

If not it should be.

Ah the jock strap flew off so fast it burned: aka "lower body injury".

OP, that picture looks awesome. I hope they show that environment on tv tonight. Should be a good game. Will be interested to see how the Avs will roll out the Mac line tonight.

 

[Ararana]

It's a bummer we have so many injuries. The two games so far have been way closer than I thought they'd be, it pains me a bit to think what this series would looks like with a healthy Avs roster.

Not over yet

 

[ArWKo]

With a fully healthy Avs team I think this could've been a heck of a series. Still playing them well and I've got high hopes of taking a game at home but the Preds definitely look like they'll be too much for the Avs.

 

[RomanEmpire]

Really glad we’re keeping the Salomaki Fisher Hartman line in tact. They’ve been great all series...oh wait.

 

[cgf]

Can't wait to see what MacK does in Denver. He scored more than twice as many points at home as he did on the road this season and already has 3 points in this series.

Hope it's enough to win these games at home

 

[Armourboy]

Should be a hell of a battle. Go

 

[bukwas]

These two in Denver should be tight games.
I don't think the Av's will get swept.

Lol, have you seen the avs bottom 4 dmen?

Cmon.

Stayed with us last game and that was on the road.

It's been a little surreal reading our two fanbases discuss this series . You guys ripping on (exaggeration) Rinne for his SV%, us bitching about him for the big saves he's made where he's straight stolen goals. We can't stop whining about our blueline, you guys reminding us that it's been enough to keep with ya on the road. Etc.

Hope both teams can get this gamesmanship out of their systems and the refs can be non-factors the rest of the series...and some of our fans can get over your chants...so our fanbases don't develop too much animosity, cause this has been fun.

I'd love to have round two next year when we're healthier; Jost has broken out fully; we've added Meloche, Timmins and/or Makar to our third pairing; and Joe's done something to solidify that second scoring line next to Josty.

Not all 2-0 series leads are created equally.

Colorado quite frankly didn't looked scared/timid in Smashville, held up decently well save for the 3rd period of game 1.

Last time they were an 8 seed (2010), they gave San Jose fits before losing in 6 games.

While they did have some leads in games 1-2, I think getting a 2-goal lead (as we saw with Minnesota last night) can be vital for if the Avs can, to quote Roman Reigns, BELIEVE THAT (they can shock the world)

 

[Cashville]

Vamos los perds! The Avs will definitely come out firing tonight.

I feel like nate is going to be flying at home! Let’s gooooo Avssss
