Dang, I thought I read he still wasn't in the lineup. We will get their best shot tonight. Game 3 is always hardest to win if a team is down by 2 and at home.

I’m in Idaho and the Nash/Car game is in 2nd OT. I said 5 minutes ago come on Matty D end this I want to watch the Avs, well guess who scored the OT goal 3 minutes later.

Great win for avs. No perron. And likely not on Sunday either.

Kadri has 8 games not 5. Good job NHL for posting wrong info and changing it.


Better job avs and newhook.

We got the brooms out and swept the Blues. We likely move on to vegas. I hope minnesota pulls a rabbit out of their hat, but if they could just extend that series to 6 or even 7 that would be great. Give the avs some rest. Let some of the guys heal up.

Either way- we Advance!
We shut Oreilly up!

Great job avs!

Round 1 komplete.

Is Saint Louis now playing the blues?

And I guess that's why they call it the blues
Time on my hands could be time spent with you

And as the musician makes his stance
you cannot hear him buried by an avalanche

The Wild found that rabbit. I just hope it's not too strong. Really enjoyed watching these last 2 games.

This part of the article caught my attention:
"Colorado has a roster of talent unlike anything the franchise has ever seen, including the two Cup winners. The top line of Nathan MacKinnon, Gabriel Landeskog and Mikko Rantanen can score at any moment. And that’s just the start. When they leave the ice, head coach Jared Bednar releases wave after wave of scorers, all of whom keep constant pressure on the opponent."



Remember when I said this part earlier and got flack for it...Someone else seems to think so too.
Hmmmm...

Roster is stacked for sure. Maybe the writer of the hype piece was using the phrase "unlike anything the franchise has ever seen" in the sense that these were new and unique players rather than the best ever? If the point the writer was trying to make was this was the best ever Avs team, the writer could have said "the best ever roster of talent." The writer chose not to use those words...it would have been controversial, but not out of line.

It's a really damned good team. How about we sit back and see if they cash in. And why don't you and I get a beer and watch a game.

My new Avs hat has been delayed. Amazon is on my shit list.

Countdown to 50 minutes until game time!!! Rd 2 vs Vegas. Winner of this series likely wins the cup!



Logan O'connor is skating and cleared to play. I am unsure if he has been dressed tonight or not. I would MUCH MUCH MUCH rather see him in the lineup instead of Soda.



Another to watch is Nemeth on D vs Vegas. He matches up size wise better and with hits. However, Bo Byrum is cleared to play as well from his concussions. If we bring Bo in likely nemeth will be the one out. If we find we need more speed (El. Oh. El) then he might take Nemeths spot. For now, I am thinking they go with size since we have all sorts of speed.

Also- EJ was skating today too! Doubtful he makes it back for this series.
