GDT: Avalanche vs Maple Leafs 03/08/25 @5:00PM MNT (Emergency GDT) Post deadline clarity

I missed the game. How did Nelson look?

Old AF

 

[expatriatedtexan]

Like this?

Dude, transmorphing that bears scream after it inhaled into a picture of Nuke's face screaming on the ice in celebration would be incredible.

 

[avsfan2189]

are we all ready to get off CMac's back and give him some praise for this incredible turn around of a roster primed for this playoff push?

LFG

 

[Bensch88]

How did the New guys look? And anyone injured now?

 

[Avs_19]

Boys are rolling. This team is so fun and pretty damn stacked now.

This is the Val who Jagr said can be the best player in the league. Beast.

Loved Coyle’s play on the GTG. Obviously the assist but even before that. He was the one digging the puck out in the corner and starting the break only for Colton to turn it over and have it go back into the Avs zone. So Coyle busts his ass back again and was the one who gained the initial entry just before the goal.

That second line was unreal with Nelson in the middle. He was as advertised tonight and probably deserved better than just the one point. Immediately showed off that shot with the early ping. Wasn’t a fan of a couple of his defensive lapses.

Malinski played like a guy who doesn’t want the old guy to take his spot. What a game from him.

Let’s throw this Blackwood performance in the trash and hope we don’t see it again.

None of you posted a main board thread for Nuke's first hat trick?

I could swear I remember Nuke getting a hatrick before.

You guys are missing an easy one.

 

[Avs_19]

“We got the best player available in Brock….”

Shots fired at Mikko.

 

[Muffin]

I’d swap Drouin and Necas in the top 6
Lehkonen-MacKinnon-Drouin
Nuke-Nelson-Necas

 

[The Kingslayer]

That second line looked huge with Nelson and Nuke.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Man... I missed periods 2 and 3 because we had dinner plans with friends, and I am watching them now, but you know who would fit this team like a glove? Mitch Marner.

I know they won't have the cap room, but imagine him on the Avs next year?

 

[JoeSakic13]

That second line looked huge with Nelson and Nuke.

Not to mention Nelson seemed to get along with Drouin right from when they met in the locker room.

 

[RECKLESS]

Last year we got some toughness at the deadline and that was about it. Now we got tougher with players that produce and are proven playoff producers. It's just awesome.

 

[CobraAcesS]

LFG!!

 

[CobraAcesS]

Couldn't find this anywhere else but FB, so here you go.

Yesterday was fun. Admittedly, felt frustrated when the Leafs went up 2-4. Good for Blackwood for shutting it down after that.

Never felt like they were out of it though. The ice was tilted in our favor from start to finish.

 

[Hesher]

I could swear I remember Nuke getting a hatrick before.

He had one in game 4 against Winnipeg last season. This was his first regular season hatrick.

 

[Ceremony]

Keep Nichushkin clean. I don't care if we need to handcuff a guy to him like you see in movies with the guy with the briefcase with the nuke launch codes in it.

 

[hockeydog23]

Said this 2 years ago. But not russian babysitters. And no sexed up maid service baby sitters.

How about living in E.J.'

How about living in E.J.'s basement?

Brilliant! If the Condor doesn’t play a game but keeps big val locked up playing fortnight and watching YouTube videos when he’s not at the rink, that would make EJ the steal of the deadline.

 

[AvsMakar08]

Just finished the game. Holy shit the Leafs got the worst version of Blackwood and still lost LMAO

If cocaine bear doesn't get popped on a test we're going all the f***ing way, boys! LET'S GO

Cocaine Bear? Nuke has not done any drugs in 9 month. Nuke promised us that he will not do any drugs ever again.

Oh boy, world is going to be rude for you..

That second line looked huge with Nelson and Nuke.

I forgot the stipulations for you losing that avatar. What were they again?!

Cocaine Bear? Nuke has not done any drugs in 9 month. Nuke promised us that he will not do any drugs ever again.

His transformation from cocaine bear to Bernstein bear in the last 9 months is truly remarkable.

 

[Pokecheque]

I wish there was some retention.. I was shocked Mitts was a total cap dump.

I’m not all that shocked. I don’t recall the last time they retained on a player with term remaining. Like buyouts, this ownership group really, REALLY does not like paying players who aren’t on the roster.
