Pre-Game Talk: Week #7: Avs Fans in the Stands? (VGK, MIN, @AZ, @AZ)

[Northern Avs Fan]

MacDonald is the best option.

Bringing him in and taking out Timmins leaves you with 1 righty and 5 lefties though.

 

[Belgican]

Jacob Macdonald

He was good indeed. Like I said, let play consistent pairing throughout a game, either you let Timmins play, then you play him the whole game, otherwise just send him to play more in the AHL. Now maybe Timmins needs a break, that can, just give him some rest and that’s it

 

[BaconNater]

Tomorrow should be interesting.. Arizona coming off 2 big comeback wins against the crappy Ducks possibly feeling big and bad and looking for revenge after last year playoff whooping.. and the Avs need to prevent from a 3 game skid

 

[Balthazar]

Graves - Makar
Toews - Girard
Byram - Pateryn

Still don't understand why people have Pateryn above Macdonald in their depth chart.

Edit: a bunch of ppl beat me to it

Right shot. That’s literally the only reason. Coaches don’t often go with 5 LHD and 1 RHD when given a choice.

That's a possibility. Timmins probably wouldn't play if he was left handed.

Yup I agree.

 

[Anders Cain]

I gotta say at this point I'd rather see Macdonald for a few games than timmins... I didn't mind how he played nearly as bad as timmins with some of the big mistakes he's made

 

[Avsboy]

I'm not that worried. I always remind myself about the 2019 Blues.

Yeah that and the Blue Jackets have shown this is a new NHL. There's so much parity, and the momentum swings in games and series are so powerful now, that anyone can beat anyone.

All you have to do is make the playoffs. I genuinely don't care if the Avs face the best or the worst team in the first round. It'll suck if that means they lose in the first round, but it's easy to not take the 8th seeded team seriously and drop the first two games, putting you in a hole that you can't recover from.

They weren't the 8th seed, but that's basically what the Avs did with Dallas last year in the second round. They got a little too confident and came out flat after dominating Arizona. That can happen with any team. I almost like this teams chances against the better teams rather than the worse teams anyway.

He’s been a fair bit less scary and that is saying something.

That's why we suck. That alcoholic is leading us.

Do you know the story behind this?

You must be new to hockey players.

 

[The Abusement Park]

You must be new to hockey players.

I was gonna say isn't it more of an issue if it's the sober one leading the team?

 

[letsgoavs1921]

I'll be at the game tonight. Every time the Avs come here they don't play well, I was there last year when we lost 3-0. Any idea who is in goal tonight?

 

[RockyMtnRedhawk]

A LOT of Avs fans on my flight to Phoenix this morning!

 

[Balthazar]

How many tickets are they selling? Is it 50% capacity?

 

[cccoltsicehockey]

Going to be weird watching a game with fans

 

[henchman21]

As many tickets as they can sell! So 1,239.

IIRC they are limiting to 2,500.
