Avs on break discussion

[UncleRisto]

Let me tell you, the Photoshop elements I've created testing some stuff look uh-horrendous. So good news.

 

[Avsboy]

What do you guys think will happen to the season? Losing the whole season and starting fresh would be traumatic.

 

[Metallo]

Congratulations Colorado Avalanche on being the *2019-2020 Western Conference Champions!

* - based on ppg

Check your math again.

I'd put Jost in over Nieto I think...I dunno.. the kid has maybe been turning a corner a bit? I'm having a hard time hating on him. That was a nice f***ing snipe last night though.

Jost is finally hot, will he cool down during the break?

 

[Coloradorov]

Check your math again.

I'm not interested in your fancy math. I say we win!

 

[SirLoinOfCloth]

I'm not interested in your fancy math. I say we win!

To be fair, if you round the PPG to 1 decimal place, then its a tie-break between the Blues and Avs. At which point there needs to be a tiebreaker. You can choose for that tiebreaker to be "not being a shit team" in which case the Avs are runaway winners.

Who’s down for vintage GDTs for old, classic Avs games?

We pick a day/time for the week. Post the link. We can all watch and comment throughout the game.

I dunno, I just don’t want to let you guys go.

If anyone knows how to watch HQ vids/streams of ‘96-‘01 playoff games in particular I would be eternally grateful.

I'd hope not. What's most traumatic would be all the money I'm losing out on in fantasy if it's cancelled. But people should see this as an opportunity more than anything. To realize there's more to life than hockey and spend their time focusing on what's in front of them

Although to be fair, Avs fans have had long summers over the last decade to do just this.

 

[Foppberg]

That took it to 3-0 if I'm not mistaken.

"Fakes it, takes it, SCORES!! Joe Sakic!! 3-0 Colorado!""

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

"Fakes it, takes it, SCORES!! Joe Sakic!! 3-0 Colorado!""

That guy is still my all-time favourite broadcaster.

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

When are we doing the Classic games?

 

[Foppberg]

Does anybody know how to livestream on YouTube or similar platforms? Having the game played live and everyone following it at the same time would be cool.

Should be rather easy to do on Twitch if someone has a good enough internet/hardware situation, no?

@RoyIsALegend start mapping out the full game options.

Pretty sure twitch would shut it down pretty quickly (as would most of the others). I'll try out a couple options that I've used in the past and see if I can figure out something that would work out. A lot of the optimal sites for watching stuff with other people has been shut down due to people using it for less goodhearted things than watching 20 year old hockey games.

If someone is available to potentially help me test some stuff if I need to see if sound and stuff is working, let me know. Would be a little odd to think a solution is set up and then have it only video

 

[drhiii]

I guess since we're on break I can ask some of the hard hitting questions, like which one of the 3 Hanson sisters did you guys find the hottest?

Had no idea, bit, searched the internets... and now my eyes hurt.

Oh yeah.

 

[Foppberg]

I'll pull a dater and set up a shitty Periscope stream with my phone and have it buffer continuously.

 

[cody275]

Okay I have two ideas for how we can do it set up for now. I'll test them out later on and see how effective they both are. Worst case I'd definitely be able to go a bit more complex and actually just stream them as well. Trying to go as simple as possible for now and not use actual streaming software though.

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

Perfect. That will give it the feel of real Avs hockey.

Can you also sensationalize the commentary to provide ideal Dater effect.

Yes and do you have a terrible voice?

I'll continuously plug Colorado Hockey Now and ask for donations for my next Airbnb trip too.

 

[Sea Eagles]

So we finish 3rd overall in the NHL. 31 teams. With this many injuries.
What a club, what a team, what absolute winners !!

Coming back: Makar (one game already), Wilson, Grubauer, Calvert, Burakovsky, Rantanen, Kadri, Mackinnon
8 players from a starting 20 (or 40%) of the team out ! Wow.

And apologies to the guys from The States about Tom Hanks, and his wife Australia didn't mean it.

 

[cody275]

We should be good to go for watching the games. Just did some simple tests. Would depend on how many people potentially I guess, I do have a back up plan for that as well (but not sure if that platform has a cap on people too).

Not sure the ideal place to actually find the full versions of old games. If nobody has an idea for those, I can take a look for them on the weekend.
