GDT: Cats @ Snow | 7pm MT | Emergency GDT

I have a strange obsession with Mackinnon’s performance in late zone draws lately. I don’t know if anyone else is noticing but the guy violently puts his body through the dot and straight up refuses to lose when the game is on the line.

I noticed that a game or two ago as well. He won something like 5 draws in a row by falling onto the puck and pulling his entire body back to get it.

I totally forgot we had a game today, I swear I thought it was tomorrow. How did we look?

I’ve forgotten what it’s like to win a 2-1 game

Yeah that crazy game against Buffalo he won 5 or 6 straight. 2 of which lead to empty net goals to tie it.

Good. Evenly played hockey game, both teams had their chances, neither team looked bad. Hard working all night, Avs hit three posts - all high blocker - and a fourth post that went in also high blocker before Toews got his 2nd for the winner.

Great game, and seeing Lauren again reminded me of what a great set of personality she has.

Cale sounds like he's battling a bug, so that makes sense. But MAN what a freeing feeling it is to have a goaltender you can rely on consistently. I can only imagine how that locker room feels. It's been nearly a month since the trade now and I don't think he could be faulted for a single one of his losses. He's been a season-altering addition.

 

[LOFIN]

He's smart and coachable, it's only a matter of time until he's right up there with Kivi, Kelly and LOC

He might look like Puljujärvi but is nothing alike @RoyIsALegend

 

[EdAVSfan]

That was honestly just a great hockey game. Low scoring but tons of scoring chances and great goaltending all around.

Sneaky good game from a few Avs players tonight.

So is Blackwood going to regress or do we actually have the best goalie in the league now

I'm sure he'll regress a bit, but I think he can be a top 10 goalie in this league.

Avs are only 5 back of the division lead

Blackwood:

26 of 27 shots saved
.963 sv %
+3.18 GSAx
8 of 8 high danger shots saved
+2.4 GSAx on high danger shots

 

[EdAVSfan]

What I liked most about Blackwoods game was that the first half of the game was very quiet, very few shots, but he made saves on chances despite the lack of shots.

I think that was one of the things spoken about him, that he needed volume to perform.

 

[Dr Amazing]

See Avs fans the Avalanche got things under control 25-15-1 51 pts at the halfway point of the season only 5 points away from 1st in the league haters are gonna hate go Avs go.

 

[lionsDen]

georgiev has given me PTSD, every time we get scored on first I go into a fetal position

 

[Puckstop40]

The Avs would be battling for the President’s trophy if we didn’t have dog water goaltending to start the year.
