GDT: COL vs. MIN: *The Throwback Edition* 9PM ET / 7PM MT

[Bill Peckerskull]

lets gooooo

Is "will get another day of conditioning" code for "we're trying really hard to trade him for a goalie"?

 

[Soedy]

So according to Russo in the trade deadline article in The Athletic, the Wild are contenders.

Go get 'em boys!

 

[The Abusement Park]

I'm saying 6-2 Avs


Makar, Mackinnon, MacDonald, Mantanen, Maad, Most with the goals for Colorado. Parise and Greenway for Minnesota.

I'll be pretty Maad if we lose tonight.

 

[Spleenless Wonder21]

Do the Wild change their game plan now that Makar is back for the Avs?

I’m guessing they’ll play the Avs like they usually do- eliminate open space & try to beat the f*** out of them. That’s how Cale was initially hurt in the 1st place...

 

[Pokecheque]

I'll be pretty Maad if we lose tonight.

Did someone say Maad?

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Even though this is the most excited I’ve been for a hockey game since Tahoe and all signs point to the Avs continuing their dominance, my gut tells me we struggle to score tonight and we’re all complaining about “results” by night’s end.

Cousin Eddie or his gut has never been right about anything ever in his life!

So its all good

 

[KingSizeKirby]

I would argue outside of Nuke he's our best bottom 6 forward for what they need to bring to the table. He plays the perfect style and injects a ton of energy/momentum into the team as opposed to Jost, Belly, Dong, Compher.

Ya I’ve got him behind nuke and donskoi. Donskoi just has such good production right now. And I got him tied with Calvert.

[wayninja]

Makar and Byram back????

SICK.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Sad

I think the Avs win the game after this one if it makes you feel better haha. Makar going be rusty as hell.

Minnesota is a good team top to bottom and they are getting goaltending. Av fans shouldn't be looking down on them unless its to take shit on their forehead.

I don't know about dominance. I think its going to be a pretty even game. The one person who might change that is Mackinnon. If Mackinnon and that top line decide they are going to play like a top line then I think the Avs can win this in dominating style.

 

[CharlesPuck]

This just means we're losing couple players in this game

Pateryn!! NO!!

 

[The Shermanator]

Can't wait for these boards when Byram and Makar are worse than Renouf tonight.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Can't wait for these boards when Byram and Makar are worse than Renouf tonight.

Renouf was pretty bad last game.

 

[Spilot23]

Can't wait for these boards when Byram and Makar are worse than Renouf tonight.

As long as one of them defend Kadri after sucker punching someone

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

Renouf was pretty bad last game.

Yeah, Renouf was ass last game. I’m glad he got sent down before the shine wore off.

Now I can still think fondly of the workman like 11 minutes he was giving this team before his poor outing.

Was he though? I'd have to look at the replay to be sure but the only major miscue I saw from him was on the 3rd goal against when both he and Toews went after the guy in the corner and left a man wide open in front of the net. But was that him who was on LD on that shift or was it Toews? I'm guessing that was his mistake, but even so I didn't notice anything else out of him that was objectionable. Really, the problem lies in having to rotate these guys around and obviously at some point someone got mixed up switching sides.

Anyway, for a guy who pretty much started out 10th on the D depth chart this season, he's been pretty amazing. I wouldn't mind him sticking around as the extra guy.

I don't even remember that miscue. The only one I remember clearly was the pass to Bura skates which turned the puck over and eventually lead to Heinens goal I believe. If the Avs were playing an NHL goalie there it wouldn't have been an issue. So really that goal against is Sakics fault more than Renoufs.

 

[Metallo]

I have Shawinigan Cataracts. It's much worse than regular cataracts.

Also, that's the TLC song, TLC - Cataracts.

Also, this GDT gives me an idea.

They make you spin out of control.

 

[Metallo]

3-1 Minnesota

Goals:
Greenway
Zuccarello
Dumba

Avs:

Saad

Avs sad indeed.

 

[Ceremony]

We're going to get absolutely rinsed here.

The main thing I remember was him abandoning the front of the net to chase someone behind the net. It resulted directly in a goal.

Overall I thought he was really good for a #10. That’s why I was happy to see him clear waivers.

 

[forsbergavs32]

To be fair to Renouf, the whole team looked off until Grubauer was put between the pipes.
