Ross Colton's line by far the worst line for us that period.

Cale very bad with the turnovers in his own zone.

Overall a pretty even, kinda strange timid period.

I appreciate ESPN using Pearl Jam in their NHL playoff bumper spots.

Also, Georgiev...nice period buddy. Can we get two more please?

 

[Tralfamadore]

I have a severe gambling problem that has destroyed my family... but ok!

One more bet can't hurt

Makar looks like he’s dying out there.

That's been like half the season

 

[sethro109]

Makar looks like he’s dying out there.

His hips and bicep is probably killing him.

 

[BobRossColton]

Felt like a game of chess.

 

[Avs_19]

Such a fun period. Just flew by.

Loved that defensive play by Casey in the slot after McDavid sent Manson’s jock into orbit.

 

[niwotsblessing]

f***ing drill McDavid through boards, don't let that f***er skate around.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

His hips and bicep is probably killing him.

From pumping and stroking?

 

[AVSfan2daMAX]

Makar and Toews better get used to teams taking runs at them. They seemed unprepared for the Oilers forecheck

 

[sethro109]

From pumping and stroking?

The puck hit him in the arm that period. But probably also from baiting.

Reminds me of prom

 

[expatriatedtexan]

Felt like a game of chess.

Yeah, felt like a lot of prodding and testing without as many breakthroughs as I'd like.

Think it was @ASmileyFace that was mentioning it felt like a playoffs game.

 

[Tralfamadore]

f***ing drill McDavid through boards, don't let that f***er skate around.

Hmm I wonder if that's ever been tried. Nice idea.

Elliot Friedman just said the 1st period was way too boring and everybody is expecting a much more exciting game than that.

Once again, the idea of only goals equal excitement.

That was a great period of hockey. Fast paced, good saves at both ends, a bit of chippiness.

Must be the goalie in me that enjoys a 0-0 period.

 

[ASmileyFace]

Very different level of hockey that period. Feels like the Avs have been playing at this level for a few games, but Oilers can actually play up to that playoff level. Gotta step it up next period.

It was a great period. Playoff feel in March if Friedman can't see that he's an idiot

Yeah my wife even commented on how great it was.

 

[Hennessy]

It's not the goals, it's the chances.

It was good, but like in a blue balls kinda way

Dude with gambling you got to watch out. You got to be an expert and have a bank roll. I totally agree with you man. Don't gamble if you don't have money to pay for rent, mortgage, bills...

These online sports gambling companies are making millions of dollars from us betting.

Some of the most thrilling games are low scoring. But for me, I need two things for a game to be fun. First, there has to be scoring chances. I can't stand games that have none. Second, the neutral zone can not be turned into a parking lot. Skating needs to continue.

As long as the teams can skate and still get the odd scoring chances I'm happy. Just no more left-wing locks and the such.
