Pre-Game Talk: Week of the turkey hangover: @Nsh, Pit, Stl, @Det

[forsbergavs32]

Playing well and on a 4 game streak but a couple tough games coming up. Nashville is scary, Pittsburgh is getting healthy and who knows which Blues team shows up.

Oh shit. I'm going to the @Detroit game

 

[McMetal]

If they can pull out a W in Nashville, I see no reason why the streak can't continue looking at the rest of the week. Gotta feast on these struggling teams.

 

[CobraAcesS]

Oh ****. I'm going to the @Detroit game

Me too, I found lower bowl seats for 90/ticket too.

Thats how I see the week going. No sense even going to Nashville lol.Colton Scissons already has 2 goals on us.

 

[Pokecheque]

God, Austin Watson scored a hat trick tonight. I'd rather see the Scissorman score eight before I'd ever stomach having that turd do that to the Avs...

Altitude should bring Haynes back for a one-night-only gig when we play Detroit. Would be fun.

Give me 5 pts this week and i'm fine.

We are healthier and hungrier than Nash and find a way to pull one out. (W)

Pitts plays @Jets the same day we play Nash. Customs and Hotel means less sleep and old people really need their ZZZs. (W)

After 2 big wins the letdown game bites back. ROR with a 3 point night (L)

Topline cranky after loss decides to take it out on Deadthings and combine for 11 points (W)

Score the first goal of the game against Nashville and don't stop to skate and it'll be a pretty good week. It'll be interesting to see what'll happen with Wilson and Compher. I think it makes the most sense to put Compher on the 2nd line and move Wilson to Soda's line but somehow I doubt this will happen.

 

[Grigowski]

This schedule is brutal! Jesus, how many Back-to-Back Games do we have this season?? Another 2 coming up.....

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

2 wins, one draw and one loss my guess.

 

[tucker3434]

My buddy is in Nashville on business and is staying in the same hotel as the Avs. Of course that would happen to him (who cares not one little bit), and I’m the one being sent to freeze my ass off in White Plains, NY.

I was surprised the team got there that early though. I would’ve thought they would’ve stayed home as long as possible.

8 more back to backs in the season

We have puck drop in Denver with the Pens less than 24 hours after the game in Nashville ends tomorrow night.

The team would want to break out the two flights as much as possible, allow prep time for a divisional game with the Preds, and... Nashville is one of the highlight cities on the schedule for the boys, but more importantly, the coaching staff.

 

[Grackle Party]

What type of number do you think Filip Forsberg would put up playing on a line with Mack / Rants ?

 

[Ararana]

It's a back to back with them playing in Denver the next day. Maybe that had something to do with it.

I have to think Nashville is a scheduled loss. The remaining three should all be winnable so I'll say 4-5 points there.

Not sure, because Landeskog does a ton of heavy lifting for that line.

Yeah. Forsberg for sure wouldn't be able to play that role. If Forsberg played like in Nashville he probably would score more than Landy (still I think the dirty work he does in the offensive zone opens quite a bit of space for the other two as well, so it's not like the vast majority of effort is spent on just covering for them, he also helps out a great deal offensively), but that line would bleed goals much more as well.

Yeah and MacK being a dunce defensively at times is enough lol. Landeskog allows that line to play a heavy checking cycle game when it's needed. That is something they've done a great job of this year on the road especially. When they need to play a heavy simple game of dump it down low and outwork guys they can. Especially now that Mikko has become a moving immovable object.

That is what makes that line special. They can play the game any way needed. As much as that line gets praised for their skill, the rare thing is the combination of speed, skill, and size.

Yes this is why we will be much better in the playoffs this year. You can't just shut down the first line anymore, they will find a way with how many different styles they can play.

 

[Avsboy]

Nashville is an autoloss. Win the others

 

[ASmileyFace]

If we can do well against Nashville I see no reason why we can't win all these games this week.

Lets keep streaking!

 

[Ararana]

Oof. Maybe I'll just watch the Senators game tonight.
