If they can't handle the Habs on the back half of a back to back with travel how are they supposed to stop the defending Stanley Cup champions?

We’ve already beaten Florida this year and we need to play the same way we did in the first game.

Skate, move your feet, play fast. Do not get into a ground and pound game with these guys. Quick puck retrievals to avoid the heavy forecheck. Attack the neutral zone with speed. Rapid puck movement in the offensive zone to not let them pin you and slow the game down.

Avs need to play their game, not the opponent’s game. Easier said than done.

 

[Tralfamadore]

Who the fel is Helhaber?

A dude we signed for two years..., played one game and then immediately sent down.

Sad thing is, he was no worse than the shit we were playing before him or the shit we've played after him. Not sure why he only got one game, I actually remember him doing a few things I liked.

[edit...My bad, he was signed to a deal by CMac. We did not trade for him. I edited the post.]

Oh man the flash backs!!!!!

Mrs. ET and I's first cat was a stout and portly fella. So many memories of taking him outside during the winter on leash (we have a lot of predators in the area) and while we were walking I'd allow him to go wherever and just kinda follow. So, so, so many times he'd breakthrough the crust and sink. Then I'd just see his head pop up and turn around. He'd look at me like it was my fault, blink a few times jump up and try it again. Rinse and repeat until we were both too cold to stay out and we'd head back in.

 

[missionAvs]

I just feel like I don't belong anymore since @forsbergavs32 took away the platform for me to ask.............


have we lost yet?

 

[Valushkin]

have we lost yet?

Yes

 

[missionAvs]

Yes

I know. It was already answered in the OP. I am pissed, therefore I am.

 

[expatriatedtexan]

Yes

The only thing we are losing today is the ability to draft first overall. But to be honest, looking at Chicago, we might have done that a few weeks ago.

That first picture kinda gave me Guild Wars: Factions (Kurick) vibes.

Not with that attitude.

Next year’s draft looks to be weak anyway. If we tank, we should tank for a generational talent

It’s ok, I still have to do my due diligence

BTW….

That’s game
