Literally don't care if we lose every game as long as Makar starts getting some points. He sucks now so we need to build up his trade value in order to trade him for defensive depth.

 

[AvsGuy]

Mmmm a creampie

 

[RECKLESS]

Win, win, win. Rise to the top of the league.

 

[Ararana]

CHI, BOS, @ CHI, BUF.

The Avs could actually nab first in the league by the end of the month.

Boston scare you OP? We historically play well against the bruins. WWW

 

[JWK]

LLL cause this place is more entertaining after losses

 

[TruePowerSlave]

The Avs have the best point % in the league and almost guaranteed to finish as the top team in the west.

In Boston, yes. Avs haven't lost there in like 15 years, or something stupid like that. However, Boston has been playing well as of late, and the Avs, despite winning games, have not been playing super great for about 2½ weeks (basically since that 7-1 win against Winnipeg). Avs also won 15 straight on home ice. That streak isn't gonna continue forever, and I just feel with both those factors they're due for an L here soon.

I can't tell a difference.

I also wonder how much fatigue is playing into how they are playing as of late. Tonight will be their 13th game in the last 23 days (will end up being 17 games in 31 days at the All-Star Break). That's a lot of hockey.

Let FLA or TB have it.

 

[Grackle Party]

Ill be at the game Friday. They always win when I see them in Chicago. Compher will get a hattrick

Probably an L tonight and then the Avs win the next 3. Im beginning to miss Bo and its beginning to dawn on me that it could be over for him as an Av and as a hockey player. Both thoughts really suck.

cmon Kingslayer, it’s not just dawning on you. It’s been the pale horse hanging over this whole forum for 10 days.

its spoiled the season for me so far, same as last, and should he not return I’ll actually have to make a Sophie’s Choice about how the Avs can fit in my life after 25 years daily devotion. id consider myself a “good german” to continue after the disgusting dishonorable unaccountable culture of hockey takes another young kid’s life away

which is why he’ll be back.

[AvsGuy]

I think Byram will be back, very confidently so, but I do think he should take the rest of the season to make sure. We can get by

The players exhaustion will show in their performance, but Frankie will steal the game.

Certain posters here will then melt down. Epically.

Nah it really is starting to dawn on me that it might be the end. I remember talking myself into believing that Hishon could pull through from his concussions, bullshitted myself into thinking Forsbergs foot issues would magically get better since he had the best doctors on the planet to fix it and that Joe Sakic hand would grow back but none of those things happened.
