Pre-Game Talk: Week on the road: @Wsh, @Pit, @Fla, @TB

[forsbergavs32]

Huge undefeated home stand and now we get to see how this team does without last change. Really hoping Mack can get out of his funk and start playing like he’s capable of. Also hope Tampa doesn’t send us into a big slide again.

Is our game legitimately at 15:00 tomorrow?

Is there a holiday I don’t know about? Tons of early games on a Monday

Columbus (Blue Jackets?????) Day

So pumped I get to watch them in person Friday. Really sucks they only come to sofla once a year. On the plus side, I was able to get club seats on the Avs shoot twice side for $45 a seat.

Also, 4-0 this week to match our record so far.

Canadian Thanksgiving.

So I'm assuming that Nuke will be out now that Compher is back since he only played ~7 minutes last game.

Sounds like Bednar is sold on Jost playing C so things will change.

Landy - Mack - Rants
Compher? - Kadri - Donskoi
Wilson? - Jost - Burakovsky
Nieto? - Bellemare - Calvert

Obviously.

Our first loss of the season will be October 27 against the Ducks.

I have actually always wondered how scheduling works. Because the NHL games can't clash with NBA games and other arena uses (concerts etc). But who goes first? Is this stuff automated somehow? Is it someone's job to do it? Do computers calculate it? Are the NBA and NHL schedules coordinated some how?

Columbus Day, federal holiday, Capitals, D.C., fits for that fanbase.

I'd be really happy if we can go .500 on this road trip TBH.

I want 5 points.

Also, last year all our problems started after having our asses kicked in Tampa. I'd like to avoid any similar scenario please.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Longest road trip of the season with extremely tough games.

This is going to tell a lot about our team.

We will most certainly lose a couple at the least, it’s how we bounce back and still gain points that will show what type of perseverance and maturity this group has.

Washington
Pittsburgh
Florida
Tampa Bay
St. Louis
Vegas

Damn.

I’m glad for the early start against Washington because I can watch it. On my tv, in my home.
Go Avs Go!

If we can prove ourselves against these teams I think it goes a long way to solidifying our teams confidence.

I see a win in Pittsburgh and in one of either Florida or Tampa Bay.

Going 3-3 on this trip would be a success for me. Even that is going to be incredibly difficult.

 

[the_fan]

Rather have this type of difficult road trip this early in the season than later. And why only 4 games listed, it's a 6 game trip isnt it?
