Pre-Game Talk: Week of Us as Pretenders [vsDET | @DAL | vsBUF]

[AvsFan29]

Avs are gonna win points down the stretch once they're already out of it. Sort of like how Kerfoot racks up points or Landeskog scores a goal with a minute left to reduce the deficit to 1.

When this team is playing well, and getting goaltending, we can beat anyone. That will probably cause us to miss by 2-4 points.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Good news for all the people that want us to tank!

Proves once again that the DOPS are dopes. Unreal. That kind of play is dangerous and careless. A minimum of 4 games and this guy gets nothing. Pitiful.

 

[dahrougem2]

Three consecutive losses lol

Landeskog leads the league with 9 game-winning goals. #fakenews

Landy is money. He also scores a lot of deficit-relieving goals.

Certainly relieves my deficit if ya know what I mean

 

[Metallo]

Let's see those lottery balls

Those were the balls Patrick was refering to all along.

 

[Avalanche]

Since he's not suspended maybe Cole will be useful and break Bertuzzi's hand on his head like he tried to do with Wilson.

 

[Metallo]

I wish our coaching staff would ask Mack to just lower his shoulder and drive the net all the time. He would generate so many penalties.

 

[Be a Hab]

Varlamov or Grubauer vs Detroit?

 

[CobraAcesS]

So beating Detroit the last time was pretty much right before this team swirled the drain. I wonder if a turn around is full circle, or if full circle will be the end of the toilet bowl and into the shit.

 

[Avs]

We still very much have a chance, especially with our remaining schedule.

However, our recent play is definitely cause for concern and I fully understand why some people think we are done

Red wing here . Have a good game , good luck to get in the playoff

Good game to you too. And good luck with your 2nd overall pick

 

[AvsCOL]

Since he's not suspended maybe Cole will be useful and break Bertuzzi's hand on his head like he tried to do with Wilson.

After watching him as the human punching bag vs. Tom Wilson, I don't think he has any business ever fighting again. I'd hang my gloves up after that one if I were him. He got absolutely humiliated.

 

[Avs91]

Yahoo has Grubauer confirmed (sorry if I missed this elsewhere). So that means Varly is hurt, right?

Yahoo is wrong.

 

[Avs91]

Yahoo is wrong.

Totally. Which is hilarious since he now has a bunch of adds

Just please get Dries out of the lineup and send him down. He’s so bad. Plus there’s this notion out there that he’s good defensively which is essentially made up because if somebody is a black hole offensively it usually means they’re good defensively. Dries however isn’t good away from the puck either. He is a good penalty killer but that’s it. When we have JTC, Soderberg, Landy and Calvert on the team you don’t need a black hole on your roster who just PK’s.

I mean he’s better that Gork but so are most people who can hold a hockey stick.

Agz and Greer (as much as I dislike him) were both impactful when in the lineup.

 

[lonelybadger]

I would bring up Greer and sit Dries personally.

Hopefully Radulov remains out and the bad version of Bishop shows up friday because it is regulation win or bust for the Avs playoff hopes.

 

[sethro109]

Well ****.

 

[rmthomson21]

Well ****.

At least we probably get Graves back

 

[S E P H]

At least we probably get Graves back

Half glass empty buddy, Zadorov was playing as Avs second best defender after Girard the past two or so weeks, so this is a big loss.

 

[Ararana]

Glass half full, Rantanen is okay
