Pre-Game Talk: Final push to the TDL (@NSH, @DAL, MIN)

[AvsRobin]

I really hope they are showcasing Brière for a future trade .

Offensive zone starts, only play with best players, non stop on the PP. Do it.

 

[tigervixxxen]

Roy had a talk with him about it too. Jan was a good soldier here and I hope he goes somewhere where he has a chance to win.

Me too. Just feels bad because it seems like he never wanted to leave, its just too bad.

 

[Avs71]

It'll be exciting to see who EJ gets paired with when he's back, if Hejda gets traded. Barrie would be neat. It'll probably be Holden or Stuart...

Duncan Siemens hopefully

 

[Bubba Thudd]

Could hurt Dunc's development if he's totally overwhelmed

 

[tigervixxxen]

I think he needs to return from injury first before we talk about him coming up

 

[AvsWraith]

Just listened to Roy from the morning show. Wow, I thought McNab and Haynes were the masters of positive spin, but they've got nothing on Roy.

I must have missed the part where he said this team is a Cup Contender

They said that? If so, I stand corrected and they are still the undisputed champions.

 

[The Shermanator]

Boys still love to win.

Like I said these two need to win a Stanley Cup together. These two won't stop trying to win. Varly has indeed taken on Roy syndrome, just wants to win no matter what. So happy to have these two locked up for a long time.

 

[Bubba Thudd]

That pic makes Varly look David Draiman height...

 

[Over the Pants Landy]

That picture is A+

 

[tigervixxxen]

Varly posted it on his Instagram too with the caption "I love to win, I loooove my teammates"

And to think people were seriously debating about trading him when Pickard was doing well

 

[UncleRisto]

I'm making the GDT but it might take a while... Just so you know.

Iginla agreed to end his 16-season Flames tenure two years ago to chase an elusive championship, but he now finds himself on a Colorado team that, sadly, is well behind Calgary in the standings.

Roy's positivity isn't manufactured. He's always candid as well and has admitted how difficult a position the Avs are in right now. I find Roy's attitude very refreshing. It has changed my perspective on how to view things in life. I told him as much when I talked to him personally (stalked).

Good for Calgary. Where are they going to be next season? With Giordano out what's stopping them from falling like a rock?

I think a lot of Canadian hockey fans live in a vacuum. Apparently, 5 points is well behind. Lol.

Sakic meeting with the media before tonight's game.

Anybody reporting an ETA on that? Like right before the game? Seems as though they do these little pressers then so it doesn't have time to get back to the players and cause a distraction on game day.
