[Foppberg]

I'm going to say..

OTW
L
W
W

 

[Balthazar]

I would think we are cheering for Anaheim over St. Louis tonight?

f*** this game

 

[Avs]

I would think we are cheering for Anaheim over St. Louis tonight?

Probably doesn't matter much, but I think the Kings get the 3rd Pacific spot. So I'm rooting for the Blues tonight. I think the Ducks will be more of a threat for a WC spot than the Blues.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Definitely Ducks over Blues tonight.


Ducks beat the Blues tonight followed by us beating the Blues later this week, and they're 5 points back of us and the final dagger pretty much landed on them. Especially if we also were to beat the Wild in our game and got to 7 points up on them.

W @ Minny

W vs DET

 

[Raucherhusten]

f***

 

[the_fan]

How come everytime any Avs player who is having a very good season gets injured? This has been happening for as long as I can rememer with this team.

 

[Avs_19]

Is Kamenev on the way yet? That one game in the AHL is good enough for me.

 

[Balthazar]

3 important games tonight:

Canucks vs Kings
Wings vs Sharks
Blues vs Ducks

 

[Raucherhusten]

Dude Avs game is tomorrow.

By the power of editing this post is useless.

If everyone is fully healthy by this time next week, we could be rolling:

Landeskog-MacKinnon-Rantanen
Nieto-Soderberg-Comeau
Andrighetto-Jost-Compher
Kerfoot-Kamenev-Wilson

Zadorov-Johnson
Nemeth-Barrie
Girard-Barberio

Me likey.

Naturally, someone will get hurt this week and be day-to-day until September

Head over to sports clubs stats.

It will tell you how each game will result in a positive or negative for the avs playoff chances.

Ie. Anaheim beating St Louis will add 1.3% to our odds.

Naturally, lol.

I just can't believe we have been rolling a Nieto-Soda-Comeau second line and been getting a way with it.

 

[22FUTON9]

Honestly Im a lot scared about st louis than all the other teams. I have a gut feeling that they're gonna creep up on us and I think LA is going to get that 3rd spot for the pacific anyways

 

[Balthazar]

Why not try a Ghetto-Soda-Comeau 2nd line? Soda is our 2C and I want Ghetto in the top 6 where he is effective.

I laugh, but I'm not sure I would break up that line either. Might be worth a shot, though

I've pretty much given up any chance of them breaking up that line. May as well just keep it together at this point.

 

[Raucherhusten]

Why some of you still want to break up a line that actually works (most of the time) will always be a mystery to me.

 

[klozge]

L @ Minnesota
W @ St. Louis
L vs Nashville
W vs Detroit

That's the optimistic side of me coming out. Pray to god Varly's groins hold up this week and we don't have to see Spencer Martin *shudder*

No way we're losing against the Wild. No frigging way.

We may miss the playoffs but we won't loose vs the Wild.

It has good days and it has bad days, it's been a good interim measure but let's not pretend that line hasn't gotten absolutely railroaded on some nights. The problem with putting all the vets on two lines is that it leaves the other two as a mishmash of leftover rookie parts, and it shows. I would've liked for them to at least try Soda and Comeau with one of the kids in place of Nieto, but at this point they may as well stick with what they got.

The only other "vet" they really had to put with those 3rd and 4th lines was the oft-injured Colin Wilson and Sven Andrighetto. And really, the most effective we've seen both J.T. Compher and Alex Kerfoot was when they were paired with a "veteran" tandem (Kerfoot-Duchene-Yakupov and Wilson-Compher-Andrighetto). I really haven't been a fan of any incarnation of the "kid" line.

Really? I dunno...Xcel Energy Center is a tough place to play.

 

[SaltySkywalker]

Not to be one of those people...but this must be a foreign thing because I see it all the time and it drives me bonkers! No offence, forever 21.

 

[Balthazar]

We need Ghetto in the top 6 and the best C we can give him (without breaking the top line) is Soderberg. That's why. We've seen it in the last game, Ghetto is a notch above the kids offensively. He's our 4th best offensive weapon.

 

[Taak19]

Even if everything goes awry and they miss the playoffs I can at least say that I am proud of this team.

On the other hand, f*** that. They're making the playoffs.
