Avs are a mother f***ing train coming through. Choo choo bitches.
Wait are you related to a Rick Dahrouge of the band Borialis?My first block class has a kid who is a diehard Oilers fan. He walks in every single day "Mr. Dahrouge I know you saw that Oilers win last night you closet Oilers fan Avs suck Oilers winning the cup." Literally every single day.
I can't wait for Monday. I might throw something at him honestly.
It's a wonder what few players does to depth, and changes the whole team. Now the other teams can't just shut down one line, they have to spread their wealth as well. And that's when MacK and Mikko go to work.Even strength tonight:
Shot attempts 84-61 Avalanche
Shots 44-32 Avalanche
Scoring chances 46-29 Avalanche
High danger chances 26-13 Avalanche
I said it after last game, this team looks VERY similar to the 2022 Avs again. That is a top-5 analytical team in every major category they just played on the road and they quite clearly controlled the play while on the 3rd game of their Western Canada road trip.
He's so f***ing bad. One mistake per shift almost guaranteed. I don't know why he gets chance after chance. Maybe they are infatuated by his size but man, he is going to cost the Oilers games in the playoffs just like he and Ceci did last year.
Man Jovo Cop watches those guys with a smile on his face. Idiots out there.With Nurse, Ceci and Desh in their top 4, they might have the collection of the stupidest donkeys to play meaningful minutes in a long time.
Just missing Ed Jovanovski, the dumbest player(officially) to be a first round pick in NHL history.

By the way, how many awesome shifts did our 4th line have tonight?
Oilers had no response for Duhaime-Cogliano-Trenin tonight. Outworked every shift. Endless cycling and wreaking havoc in the offensive zone.
Good catch. He does not have an explosive 1st step. But his recovery is quick.... Strong strides. He covers a lot of ice quickly.The ONLY thing that concerns me about Mittelstadt is his foot speed from stop/starts. There were a couple of shifts tonight where Ryan McLeod stop-turned on him and Mittelstadt gave him so much space because he couldn't keep up.
I don't think he's going to ever improve that, but like ROR I don't think he'll have to so long as he perfects his angles, positioning, and keeps using that insane hockey IQ.

I can't believe it!I got a fist bump from Moser on the way out of Rogers. My life's complete. Don't mind me just strutting around the casino like I own the place.
My dad despised Jovanovski with all of his heart
Yep, and if you know Brett Kulak you know you don't want to give that guy more than 15-16 minutes per night. Otherwise he can't handle it. He's 3rd pair through and through.Not to mention they only have 2 defensemen that know how to actually play D in Ekholm and Kulak. The rest are just an adventure back there
We lost the most important battle though. Faceoffs were like 60 something percent to 30 something % for the Oilers.Even strength tonight:
Shot attempts 84-61 Avalanche
Shots 44-32 Avalanche
Scoring chances 46-29 Avalanche
High danger chances 26-13 Avalanche

That was god-awful and insanely egregious. Refs should be embarrassed - I counted at least FOUR atrocious and really obvious non-calls. Do you jobs, assholes.Toews tossed down behind the net with the puck nowhere near him- no call.
Maybe so BUT you cannot NOT call the initial perry hook - you can call them both if you want but the only reason Manson would have held his stick in the first place is if that dickhead had it in his mid-section to begin with.To be fair you could have called both hooking and holding the stick.
No argument from me, but that is a scenario where refs either call both or they call neither and given the "anything goes" prescedent they set, I wasn't surprised.That was god-awful and insanely egregious.

Loilers fans think their team got the short-end?? They should be even more embarrassed. That 2nd goal was a GIFT from the reftards.

I just looked and it's actually still Chris DruryIf you Look up the word "clutch" i a dictionary you'll find a picture of Arturri Lehkonen. I'd never ever trade his ass.
Screw that. Throw a full-size 35 pound replica OF the Stanley Cup. @dahrougem2Throw like a 2022 AVS Stanley Cup picture at him.
Semi serious here lol
