Pre-Game Talk: Week 8: Southwest Swing (TB, @ARI, @ANA, @LA

[forsbergavs32]

Avs finish up at home against the Bolts then make a road trip through Arizona and So Cal. Will we continue to see the depth pick up the slack or will the big boys finally come to play?

1-3

Lose to Tampa like 5-3. Lose to Arizona in an ugly, low scoring game. Beat Anaheim. Get smoked by L.A.

Yeah, very plausible. The Avs are a big game for some of these teams who are catching them at home.

 

[ASmileyFace]

2-1-1.

Lose to Tampa in OT/SO, beat Ari, Ducks, get smoked by LA is my guess

 

[AllAboutAvs]

Why is LA included in this week schedule when it is on next Sunday?

 

[niwotsblessing]

Epic weekly thread.

 

[dahrougem2]

0-4.

Lightning have been scoring at will this season. Kucherov is going to score 5 points and Point is getting a hat-trick guaranteed tonight.

 

[SirLoinOfCloth]

4-0 obviously.

I’m in the US, our weeks are Monday-Sunday

5-3 Avs. Nuke with 1 goal and a primary assist. MacK with 2 goals, one on PP and one at even strength. Makar with his 3 assists again.

 

[missionAvs]

We're going 0-4 and this is the easiest week to predict to date. Kucherov's getting at least 5 points tonight.

 

[Tommy Shelby]

This week my fantasy opponent doesn't have Nuke, so look for him to fall back down to earth. He also has Hagel and Jeannot so they will both end up on the scoresheet.

5-2 Bolts

[Metallo]

Of course it's precautionary, practicing could seriously affect his laziness.

Ah OK. I did not know that. But it brings up the next question.....(not that it matters one way or another)

Why are all calendars always showing Sun-Sat then? Just curious.

 

[LOFIN]

Sounds like MacK is sick

 

[missionAvs]

Hmmm. I'm in the US too and I found that weird. I'm a Sunday to Saturday week guy like the calenders have it. Not like it matters though, we're gonna lose anyways.

As an American who has lived abroad for considerable periods of time, I do not believe this is accurate. US calendar is Sunday to Saturday, it's those other weird countries that start on Monday (or Saturday). Note: probably makes more sense for countries with Christian heritage to start on Monday to be honest.

 

[Mighty Makar]

Nate’s just scared to get schooled by Point and Kucherov.

 

[JWK]

Nate’s just scared to get schooled by Point and Kucherov.

He knows only way we win is if MacDermid is in the lineup so he's volunteering sitting this game

 

[Raucherhusten]

Why is LA included in this week schedule when it is on next Sunday?

Because a "normal" week starts on a Monday and ends with a Sunday.

4-0 btw - we will never lose a game again!

I dunno, my work week is Monday-Sunday and school started on Mondays as a kid so that’s what I was used to, always done pre-game threads like that

5-2 Bolts

I just traded Hagel so I’m expecting him to go on an insane tear here.

 

[Ceremony]

One might say that the weekend comes at the end of the week.

 

[JoeSakic13]

Sounds like MacK is sick

Probably playing games on back to back nights didn’t help that.

Good thing we don’t have to do that again until……

*checks notes*

……oh f*** off……
