Okay, this week doesn't look too bad. All the teams we are facing are non playoff teams and Mackalanche are playing pretty well at the moment. So I predict:

W @ Chicago
W @ Columbus
W vs Arizona

 

[Raucherhusten]

We probably need at least 4/6 to stay in the race. Let's hope our guys find some rythem on the road.

Win, OT-Loss, Win = Me happy

Columbus is 2nd WC right now

 

[Ceremony]

1-1-1

 

[ASmileyFace]

Absolutely need to win the games in Chicago and Arizona. These are the games in hand on the teams around us. I have faith. 2-0-1 with a OT loss to columbus.

 

[Ivan13]

Yotes are in best form out of those three, by far even. They are 7-2-1 in last 10, Hawks are 4-6-0, and Jackets are 4-5-1 playing really lackluster hockey at the moment.

 

[Spleenless Wonder21]

Hopefully, it’s a perfect sweep this week. I’ll be on hand for the Jackets game Thursday, which should be a good one, as both teams are clawing to maintain, or gain the last wildcard slot.

 

[Murzu]

Columbus is 2nd WC right now

Oh damn. Thought they are out.

 

[dahrougem2]

Well, Varly seems to go god mode whenever he's at the United Centre so I'll predict a win there but then losses in Columbus and vs Arizona. For whatever stupid reason this team plays down to the Coyotes' level at Pepsi Centre and allows them to skate circles around us.

W @ Chicago
L @ Columbus
L vs Arizona

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Chicago seems to be in full tank right now.

Need to go in and win that game. Should give us some good motivation and energy for the rest of the week if we can grab the first one on the road.


Arizona has been very hot of late, but we're playing them at home where we've been very hot all year. That should be a win as well.


Definitely possible to go 3-0-0 this week. 2-1-0 would be a solid week and anything below that would be a disappointment I think.

 

[Foppberg]

W vs Chicago
OTL vs Columbus
W vs Arizona

Just want to hear some good news on EJ. Like he is shooting pucks or something.

I heard he's shooting the breeze. Feel better?

Toss a pair of shin pads on the ice and it will happen.

 

[5280]

Yeah, Varly always plays well against Chicago, and hopefully we play well against Arizona. I’m going W-OTL-W, too

 

[SaltySkywalker]

All this optimism is ripe for a disappointment.

2 of this games are very winnable

 

[Hinterland]

So I assume Kamenev won't do a conditioning stint and is with the team?
I mean they would have sent him down by now since they're on the road, right? I can't find anything like that and to send him down after the two game road trip would be weird...

 

[Freudian]

Avs have tricked me into believing games are winnable again. I rather expect tough games and be pleasantly surprised. Losing against teams they should beat is so deflating.

They'll have practice, in Denver, in about an hour i guess (damn time zones). We will know more after that. But to be honest with Wilson & Ghetto expected to be back soon - i assume - i don't see a rosterspot for him atm. And maybe a week or two in the minors isn't the worst thing for him after missing 3+ month.
