Pre-Game Talk: Week to Crawl Across the Finish Line (@LA, @ SJ, STL)

[Foppa Frossa]

If Colorado and Washington win today in regulation, our playoff chances increase by 34%

I didn't mean the game... I meant it matters to me what you're doing on Saturday.

 

[EdAVSfan]

If we win tonight in LA and St-Louis loses against the Capitals, then the Avs are in charge of their own destiny with the final game of the season regardless if the Blues beat Chicago back-to-back.

Technically, the avs control their own fate as of today still, not even including tonight’s games.

We could use an Ovechtrick tonight.

 

[lonelybadger]

We could use a Mackinnontrick tonight....or even just a Mackinnon goal. Then he could do the patented Duchene Monkey Off My Back Celebration!

 

[RockLobster]

I like you...but in the appropriate amount.

The monkey left with Duchene. No need for that crap.

But what are the odds of Colorado and Washington winning today in regulation?

The Athletic does not have theirs up yet, but yesterday we were 37% against the Ducks, and Washington was 43% against Pittsburgh. I can't imagine today's odds will be better considering both teams are on the road on the second of a back to backs against rested teams.

Let's just say that most people would consider it throwing money away to bet on that outcome.

 

[Foppberg]

If Washington can win in regulation, and we can somehow get a point... about the best semi realistic outcome.

Anyone know the last time Rantanen scored on the PP other than the CHI game? Seems like he won't shoot lately.



edit: 1 ppg in last 15

Got to be able to stand up to shoot!

Mars said in the other thread some of the players are battling the flu.

For some reason I still have faith that we’ll get in. Would be really fun for it to come down to the last game of the season against the team we are fighting against.

If that's it, it really explains MacKinnon. You don't all of a sudden turn average for no reason.

I was hoping Pittsburgh would win yesterday so the game today would mean more to the Caps, but now that they've won the division i can't see them beating St Louis.

Play Siemens tonight. Not that it makes a huge difference but I was holding my breath every time Warsofsky touched the ice last night. Not big enough to play against California teams and not skilled enough to overcome his lack of physicality.

 

[Ceremony]

0-2-1

Duncan should play ahead of Alt.

Lmao why couldn't we keep the monkey around?

 

[forsbergavs32]

I'd agree if you said he should play over Warsofsky, but Alt has been really good since entering the lineup. He's been solid defensively and has been shooting the puck well in the offensive zone.

 

[CobraAcesS]

You know the answer to that lol

??

Alt has been just fine since being in the lineup. Duncan should play ahead of Warsofsky.

 

[UncleRisto]

He kept outsmarting Yak.

 

[dahrougem2]

He kept outsmarting Yak.

Impossible to do so.

 

[CobraAcesS]

He kept outsmarting Yak.

There is that too.

 

[Pokecheque]

Yeah, that's fine, go with Alt-Siemens as a pairing, I've been pumping #5's tires for a while now but even I thought he was in over his head a bit last night.
