GDT: COL @ WPG: Checkmate (COL Leads 3-1): 9:30p ET

Who are perfetti and Miller and why are they worrying?

There's an old adage in warfare : never interrupt your enemy when they're sending Monahan onto the ice.

If the Avs can adjust to Winnipeg's adjustments I'm confident that they can do some damage and threaten Dallas/Vegas.

Lose tonight and the window is closed.

Perfetti and Miller shouldn't move the needle, but they add a good amount of skill and puck movement to lineup. Combine that with splitting up the top guys, and Winnipeg is working to get some sort of advantage tonight. They'll be working to avoid Mitts as much as possible.

Hard to believe that on a team with Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar, and Mikko Rantanen, that the player that Rick Bowness would be working hard to avoid is

[checks notes]

Casey Mittelstadt.



(And I don't mean that as a knock on Casey, just that it wasn't what I would've necessarily foreseen)

 

[RoyIsALegend]

I don't give a f*** who they change in their lineup.

We send the Jets to the first tee starting tomorrow morning.

 

[the_fan]

Hope we win.

'Cause if not, we lose.

So you’re saying if we don’t lose, we win?

They be rollin' up to the best golf course in Winnipeg all

wrong thread

 

[Bensch88]

Please finish them. I expect a huge Mac show tonight

 

[ASmileyFace]

Bowness makes the lineup changes he should have made two games ago. Curious to see if it pays off at all.

I saw Landy took morning skate so I can assume 9296 will be back together.... hehe

Perfetti will likely take the bumper spot on Winnipeg's power play, and that alone should make it just a little more deadly. That could be problematic as the PK is still very much an issue with the Avs. Plus, Perfetti has proven he can score on the Avs in bunches.

Bottom line, they added two players who don't suck to the lineup, and took out at least one guy who does.

I don't see how the Avs can win this one.

 

[the_fan]

It’s gonna be hard to win this one. Jets are still a good team and they’re gonna be desperate obviously

 

[Avs2022]

I don't see how the Avs can win this one.

I can easily see how the Av's win this one. Repeat games 2, 3 and 4.

I agree with this one. This will be the hardest game yet, I hope we come in with the right attitude. Jets will be desperate.

Is that a MacKinnon quote?

Lol

 

[John Mandalorian]

I go back to Cale’s comments after last game about winning the game that ends a team’s season is often the most difficult. There’s enough leadership I’m the room to be mentally prepared for this. That doesn’t mean it’s going to be easy, especially if the Jets get momentum early. Favorable whistles might factor in too.

If the Avs get behind a couple of goals, they’ve proven that they can come back. It doesn’t mean it’s a certainty they will.

 

[John Mandalorian]

Is that a MacKinnon quote?

If Casey Mittelstadt said something like this and while wearing his underwear on the outside of his pants, that would be some impressive bravado.

 

[JudoKoala]

Avs in 5 you f***s let's go

 

[Vaslof]

I might be too tired to get up for this but I'm confident we've got this.

This game is like a chess match, except all the pieces are computer generated images.

Tonight, we dine inside Hellebuyck’s ass one final time.

Make it a buffet, boys.

[The Kingslayer]

I'll be able to watch this game in its entirety and im probably going to be upset. Just dont see the Avs closing this tonight. Jets will get the first two goals and probably win 4-0 or 5-1. Avs cant close at home so this is going to 7 for sure.
