GDT: Avalanche vs Blackhawks 03/10/25 @ 7:00PM MNT (Emergency GDT) Let keep rolling!

Huh. Interesting info there in the postgame scrum talking to Rachel. The equipment guys cut off a lot of the lower part of his chest protector following his injury because it made him uncomfortable and he’s crediting that with helping his current play. Figured that out during the break according to him.

Who you talking about? Drouin?

 

[forsbergavs32]

Mack is the Avs captain according to Chelios.

 

[AvBuff]

Also....how smooth is Marty Necas?

I knew nothing about him before he got here. But man, what a player.

 

[dahrougem2]

I'm not taking anything from this game other than the win.

Would it have been nice to Globetrotter the Hawks? Sure. But the Avs clearly played down to their level and still came away with the W.

PK was fantastic which is a good takeaway, especially without LOC and Kelly. Coyle especially looks like a tremendous penalty killer.

Move on and get ready for Minnesota tomorrow night.

Not a great night for the 2nd line as we could see with our own eyes. Drouin good defensively, but nothing from Val and Nelly.

Also, according to this, Lindgren-Manson were an absolutely elite shutdown pairing that contributed zero offense. Crazy defensive analytics for them.

Second line did nothing tonight, but it was just one of those weird games.

I saw what I needed to see from them in the Toronto game. Effort/execution was pretty low for a lot of guys tonight.

I’ve been saying man, Lindgren is low key decent. Don’t say it too loudly, but the hate for that trade was wild. Guy seems better than advertised.

 

[Valushkin]

Mack is the Avs captain according to Chelios.

The guy is there to promote his tequila. Give him a break

Who you talking about? Drouin?

Must be Wedgewood since no skater would ever refer to their shoulder pads as a chest protector.

 

[The Kingslayer]

No chance.

Go look at Franky’s NHL numbers. Maybe you’re remembering the tail end of his career, but Francouz was damn solid.

Nah. Just remembering Franks tenure here. I would take Wedgewood over him.

 

[Pokecheque]

Who you talking about? Drouin?

Wedgewood, sorry.

Also....how smooth is Marty Necas?

I knew nothing about him before he got here. But man, what a player.

The spinorama and edge work he pulled late in the third were silky smooth. Shame it didn’t turn into a goal.

 

[forsbergavs32]

So Mack is now 48 points from passing Peter Stastny for 2nd most points in franchise history. It'll be a few years before he's knocking on Sakic's door

 

[Cake Malar]

HYDRATION AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

He mentions the ice being shit. I've noticed this more and more over the year. The ice always used to seem pretty decent at home and now it's noticeable how bad the ice has become.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Wasn't able to watch it live. Recorded it, and I got Nuggets360 instead of the 3rd period. Never came back on.

Outside climate might be playing a factor.

So glad we didnt draft Seth Jones.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Not showing up on ESPN+ either

I’m starting to think we made the right choice.

I need Seth to be traded another 2 times to be certain though.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Off to Universal Studios tomorrow with the family and will spend at least $1,001 in honor of MacK.

 

[Cake Malar]

Outside climate might be playing a factor.

Sure it was a warm day, but I wa under the impression that its the humidity that makes it really beccome a problem. Denver is still pretty dry even if temps are getting warmer.

ESPN+ has been fine for me tonight. So it must be the CO weather

Humidity is definitely the enemy of the NHL ice guy, I know it’s dry as hell in Denver but if heat didn’t play a role and only humidity did then Denver would have the best ice in the league every year and we’ll, they don’t. I remember when Marc Crawford didn’t hide a bit of his disdain over the Big Mac ice when they first got to Colorado.

Also, it’s no secret that having to switch from basketball to hockey and back is hard on the ice, the long homestand along with some Nuggets games in there probably didn’t help.

Make sure you get there before puck drop, otherwise MacK’s gonna have you obligated to spend another $10

From my extremely hazy memory, it always seemed like the ice was decent until they upgraded the jumbotron.

Lindgren is better than Holden and Graves. I’ll take it cuz they were (supposedly) low key decent too.

 

[Valushkin]

Chelios said Colorado is a great city. How many of those tequilas he had before joining the studio?
