No but we went to the Golf Tournament every year for about 10 years and had the best vacation there ever times. In 2019 we were having car trouble so we skipped it and then 2020 happened. I’m not sure it’ll be open in time for 2021, so seeing it today made me realize how much I miss it.

I am from the San Luis Valley in southern Colorado.

I planned my entire Saturday around that damn game. Watched the second and third periods yesterday morning. All is well that ends well. The Avs out-classed Vegas and Mack was a man on fire. Great win. Looking forward to tonight.

Well that was rough. It’s weird to panic over 2 losses in a row but a brutal 3rd.

Weve looked like crap for the past few games. Part of it is pressing too hard. Part of it is bad luck on the defensive side. Part is the puck just will not go in. We are in a drought. We have had so many golden opportunities and it just wont go. I was actually a little relieved that we did not get the bounces tonight. It shows me that we are just in a funk and not that we lost chemistry and are playing like ass.

We will get out of it. The pucks will start to fall. The cheddar will come. Just not ours right now. Maybe we can bounce back against phx. If not. The slump wont last much longer. I typically recall about 6 to 8 games. So we are about about to be over the hump

The Avs have only played bad the last two games. The previous three against Vegas were all awesome games. Byram played like shit last night. The offense wasn’t clicking. The only time the Avs looked like the Avs last night was after they scored their second goal and started pushing the pace. That ended when Minny scored their fourth goal.

We have scored about 8 goals in 8 games. I would say that we have been in a slump. The team is so talented that we have hung in there on a few and gutted out a few W. But 2 shutouts. a 1 goal win. That is 1 goal in 3 games. All within the last like 7 games. For this team. Its bad.

Bryam def did not look good. I was of the hype that he might be as good as makar. He is not. That boy still a badass but he plays like a rookie. Not going to get worried about that. Sucks that EJ is out for so long.


Yep that last rush for the avs was a constant on slaught! I thought for sure we were going to come back and win the game. We were ALL over them. The puck just isnt moving our way right now. I wonder if we light up the yotes like we did in playoffs or if the offensive struggles are still going to hang around? After the back to back games I do think we will bounce back if we have not. Slumps dont last too long.

Vegas is a very good team, so the low goals over the last five games don't really bother me, except for last night. Burakovski is non-existent. Kadri is one of the sloppiest "top six" forwards I've seen in a long time in terms of stick handling and puck possession. Donskoi has been invisible all season. The team has some issues with secondary scoring not showing up. I'd really love to see Jost get hot. Timmins is also not that good.

Dude Timmons has been a HUGE let down! I was quite high on him. I wonder if the concussions are still in his head.

I am not okay with that low scoring. Vegas is good but we are better. 2 shutouts is not ok for this team. We usually light them up. Kadri is my boy. I love him. He and the rest of the team need to figure it out. We have waaaaaaay too much talent to be scoring 2 goals or less. I would say even 3 goals or less is a let down for this team. I know that is not really a feasible number, but we are stacked.

The goals will come. I am not worried. Every team falls into a goal drought.

I like Kadri too, but he's just really sloppy. He turns the puck over A LOT.

I'm a little worried to be honest. Every game counts and the Avs can't afford a slump if they want to do what they want to do this season.

Just remembered that a game is on. Found it and watched them scored the 2nd and 3rd goal. Nice way to end my night.

You were so right about the goals opening up. When they got the 5th I thought, OK. Time to do something else. When this team is on they are scary in a good way for our fan base.
