Just my speculation, but I think he's got a couple things going on at this point. He's managed the hip issue all year after saying it didn't heal in the off season with rest and rehab, and it's not gonna heal during an 82 game season after that.

But his body language after that hit looked upper body to me. He kept leaning back on the bench to stretch something, and every time he did he winced.

I changed my post around a little bit after you quoted me. I remember seeing him on the bench and it didn’t look good or just a wind issue. I’m honestly surprised he came out so soon and that is why in the end I decided it was just the wind. You could be just as right, though. I hope it is nothing major.

Low key something I keep remembering is that bitch ass Mark Scheifele throwing punches at Little G behind the net and then scurrying off when he saw Manson approaching.

There was a view of Mikko's tip-in goal, where he had his stick tied up by, I believe it was Pee-Yonk, and he worked like hell to free it up just in time to tip the puck in. It was a replay Altitude showed after the game.

Lol poor Matt Duchene.

If Toronto wins the Cup, we'll have bigger issues than that as it will be the sign that the Apocalypse has arrived.

All signs point to that being the case :

LOL thankfully I have way more contents insurance than necessary on my house

if you include the international ones, all star ones, some Avs on other teams (like Roy Habs kind of deal) and the Crosby’s over 100. Collection got a little silly because Fanatics is about to kill it and had to race with the Adidas ending

So when I come to Denver this June, I would like to stay in the 'guest mansion' in your backyard.

Christian from AEW just shouted out the Avs talking about how the champion he attacked gonna have his championship dreams ended like the Jets did to the Avs. The show is in Winnipeg tonight and Christian is the bad guy

Same guy who did the red wings goalie letting a goal through his five hole in the ring skit with Edge back in the WWF during the 90s

Clearly he’s a huge Avs guy lol

Aren't Edge, Christian, and Jericho all Canadian? Along with the entire Hart Foundation, and Chris Benoit?

Nobody that knows this Avs team, should have thought those regular season games vs Winnipeg were representative of their true ability.

In fact, you can probably say that about 90% of the regular season games this year. This is the Avs team we know they're capable of being when healthy.

The Cup run might have turned them into adrenaline junkies, where they need the games to matter, for them to play their best. It did feel like some guys were pacing themselves during the season.

See the great thing about wrestlers is that I’ll gladly whoop your ass.

Oh sorry, you’re on a forum talking about hockey players making millions of dollars, a literal game played by millionaires for billionaires. My bad, you’re clearly a man of culture as your username states, not pretending to be a general manager of a team that rivals your favourite.

Get off your high horse, you jackass. Come learn a thing or two about what the f*** we do in the ring, you lazy .

Yes, we know, because we know about Chris Benoit, and why Jimmy Snuka couldn't stand trial for killing his wife, and why Virgil died with dementia, and why Mr. Wonderful died of dementia, and why Ashley Massaro died at 39, and why Test died at 33, and why Vince McMahon can't remember anything, and...

I really think there is something to this. And I've also learned never to get into a poker game with Jared Bednar. The 7-0 beatdown by Winnipeg in April was the ultimate coach-directed sandbag routine. The Jets prepared for one Avs team . . . and was confronted with a completely different squad in Game 1. Jesse M theorized that the Jets did next to no pre-series scouting on the Avs - they just played their regular season system on the assumption it would carry over.

Wrong. And they never adjusted. Bedsy coached rings around the Jets staff.

That definitely seems like something he would do. I was waiting for him to try and kill someone like he did with Jake Evans a couple years back.

Between his complete and total inattention to defense, his punk-ass attitude on the ice, and the fact he hasn't yet met a coach he wasn't willing to throw under the bus (justified or not), that's not a guy I'd build around.

I get why they did it, but it was still a big mistake.
