Pre-Game Talk: Week 6: @Seattle, Anaheim, @Dallas. Things might get ugly.

[sethro109]

Monday Nov 13th Away, Seattle 8:00PM mountain Time.

Wednesday Nov 15, Home, Anaheim 7:00PM Mountain Time.

Saturday Nov 18th, Away, Dallas 7:00PM Mountain Time.

Hopefully the team can respond after that complete embarrassment against Saint Louis. Bednar was mad, O'Connor was mad and Makar was at a loss of words. One way or another, this week feels like it could be a turning point to the season.

We probably can't afford to drop both games against Seattle and Anaheim and the game against Dallas will be a big indicator for a lot of things.

Seattle just had a big loss against the struggling Edmonton. So they're sure to be ready for Monday. We also struggle against this team heavily.

Despite only being 1 game above.500 right now, the Ducks seem to have turned a corner this season and have been playing very well. Keeping their young guns in check, would have been hard for this team clicking on all cylinders, but with our current struggles, this one could be very messy.

Dallas has been hot this season and are currently the top team in the central. This game is important and they know it. If the team doesn't get it going by this game, we'll get smothered by these guys.




Not feeling optimistic here. I gonna guess, Loss, Win Loss. Our team defense just seems to be in shambles right now. A lot of guys look lost and while Georgie isn't playing good, I feel like most of our problems stem from our guys chasing and getting lost in the shuffle.

1-2. Seattle and Dallas spank us. We squeak out a W against the Ducks

 

[Ceremony]

0-3. We're physically incapable of beating Seattle, Anaheim seem to be good and I can already hear DALLAS. DOO DOO. STARS! burning its way into my brain like a CIA experiment from the 60s. Hopefully one of them descends into a brawl.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

1-2 but with a real possibility of 0-2-1 or 0-3-0


I still think this teams biggest issue right now is goaltending even though it has lots of issues.

 

[GeoRox89]

This is the week they either start showing signs of figuring it out or the record goes to .500 after a 6-0 start

This week will be an absolute blood bath. This is the beginning of the end. After this week, you'll see Mac, Rants and Toews all being traded for high end prospects and picks. It's rebuild time.

Avs PDO is bottom five in the league. To get that bad, you need a full commitment of complete suckiness.

Here's a video of the quote. MacK sounds distraught and like he's holding back some words.

0-3 with Seattle being an absolute bloodbath.

 

[sethro109]

So Mikko and Manson were both absent from practice. Knowing our luck both will miss the Seattle game....

It was an optional skate, so of course Mikko skipped it. He has literally NEVER attended anything optional according to Parkkila.

And I'm not really complaining because he's one of the few in this team still producing.

Mikko after hearing Bednar's practice comment last night:

(Bednar's comment sounds like a shot across the brow.)

 

[dahrougem2]

Lol. They didn't have enough guys to practice?

Looks like the infirmary is open early this year.

 

[henchman21]

Lol. They didn't have enough guys to practice?

Looks like the infirmary is open early this year.

Some guys didn't show up, some are likely pull a Paul Pierce circa 2008.

0-2-1

Lose to Seattle and Anaheim in regulation, lose to Dallas in a OT

 

[Forceberg]

0-2-1

Lose to Seattle and Anaheim in regulation, lose to Dallas in a OT

OT is very optimistic.

 

[The Merchant]

So Bedsy's big bad words in the presser turned out to be an optional rudimentary practice. What a load of hot air.

 

[UncleRisto]

Obvious answer to the poll is all the posters immediately whining and cucking around after the team plays two weeks of the worst hockey they possibly could.

 

[missionAvs]

Yeah anything better than 0-3 getting shutout in all 3 games is a blessing as far as I'm concerned.

 

[sethro109]

Manson is probably dead again...

 

[the_fan]

I thought Avs were deep enough this year to not use AHL call ups
