2015-16 Around the League VIII

[BoxOfChocolates]

I hope Dubnyk gets Hemorrhoids tonight

 

[Foppa2118]

I've watched more Wild games in the last week than I care to EVER watch and I'll say this:

They get away with a TON of obstruction/interference and all that jazz.

Suter leads the league in this category every year. It's crazy what the refs let him get away with.

 

[RockLobster]

Devan Dubnyk is a god amongst men.

**** Devan Dubnyk.

It's nauseating listening to these announcers talk about him.

 

[CoachBadkitten]

Dubnyk has been insane, don't think we can be too mad at how LA's playing.


e: except for that stupid slash Toffoli

 

[Avalanche]

oh great now a Kings penalty with 58 secs left

 

[NothingLikeAnEJ]

That's such a terrible call.

 

[The Shermanator]

jesus christ

 

[freeboy]

kings are toast there.. win the corsi? lose the game? not over but its pretty much gone baby at under a minute and wild on the pp

 

[RockLobster]

oh great now a Kings penalty with 58 secs left

And I'm not saying it's not a penalty, but that's ****ing ridiculous with what I saw the Wild get away with tonight. They called every little thing they could on the Kings tonight while the Wild got away with a fair amount--as usual.

 

[freeboy]

Obvious collusion among the top WC teams to let the Wild win to keep the Avs out of the POs

You think LA/CHI/DAL want to take a chance and play Varly in the 1st round?

I dont think anyone is afraid of us .. honestly dont..

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Brutal.

 

[BoxOfChocolates]

Just so over it.

 

[Foppa2118]

I hate that lame slashing penalty for a crappy stick snapping like a toothpick. Hate it with a passion.

 

[The Shermanator]

Welp at least the boys have extra motivation to win on Thursday. Not that they needed it.

 

[NothingLikeAnEJ]

Flyers will be playing 3rd game in 4 nights. At altitude with Mason just coming off a game where he had to make 50+ saves. Avs gotta come out hungry and jump on them.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Well that sucks.

We still control our own fate though, keep winning and we'll make playoffs. MIN just keeping us honest.


Thursday and Saturday gonna be a crazy couple of days for Avs fans.

 

[Foppa2118]

I can't wait for Dubnyk to get lit up like a Christmas tree next year with the streamlined equipment.

 

[AslanRH]

I can't wait for Dubnyk to get lit up like a Christmas tree next year with the streamlined equipment.

Kinda like how he'd crash and burn this year.

 

[missionAvs]

LA!!! Why!!!

 

[cgf]

LA!!! Why!!!

It's cause the kings suck.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Man is Eberle the softest player or what.

 

[Foppa2118]

Kinda like how he'd crash and burn this year.

Well since the equipment restrictions I'm referring to don't kick in until next year, no not like that.

Lol the top teams in the West know Minnesota. They know that they pose absolutely no threat to anyone because Dubnyk isn't as good as he's looked the past few games, they have no offence, and if you take away Suter their defence doesn't look all that good.

I'm in no way saying that teams are losing on purpose in order to face Minnesota in the playoffs. Not even close. But I do believe that teams would rather face the Minnesota Wild, a team that has time and time again proven they are an easy out (Unless you're St. Louis), instead of an Avalanche team which clearly made upgrades at the deadline and has a better goaltender.

Aren't we used to this though, as Avs fans? Clearly some teams get calls and others don't. With the Avs, it's whoever their playing close to half the time who will get away with most anything.

At this time of the year good teams want to avoid injuries and cruise their way to the playoffs. Same reason why the Habs beat the Ducks.
