GDT: Flames @ Aves | 2/28/13 | 7 MT | There is gonna be some murda up in here tonight.

[bohlmeister]

My guess is they matched right after the Camelleri goal. LOL.

 

[PAZ]

Wave the white flag, forfeit the game.

Can't wait till Landy is back with Radar.

 

[landesberg]

LMFAO i feel like Sherman was watching this game when he made the decision

 

[Nalens Oga]

Bench him the rest of the season. Continue the tank, don't let him get that bonus.

 

[AvsWraith]

Yay! Now we will two of the most over-payed centers in the game.

 

[Gigantor The Goalie]

I like how Jones has been demoted to the 3rd line though...

 

[BoxOfChocolates]

Let's see, a guy who signed for two years in russia, held out for over a month, signed an offer sheet with the ****ing Flames. I for one feel completely indifferent about him coming back.

 

[bohlmeister]

Agreed. Leaves a really sour taste in my mouth.

You will forget when he is our best player for the rest of the season.

 

[squirrelbait]

Avs matched. Done deal.

WOW! Just wow. I'm happy I don't have to throw out my jersey now, at least for a couple of years.

Amazing. Avs should be embarrassed though. Got bent over a barrel here I think. Could have signed him for a similar deal for 2 years for as much as 1.5 less if there weren't so arrogant I think. They deserve what they got, and O'Reilly will pay for his role in it as well in some way down the track

 

[Avs For Life]

That rush was funny...

the dman called for the puck and he was covered...

 

[Bubba Thudd]

Guys, I've been missing the game because I've been editing and/or deleting offensive/troll posts.

I don't like it.

If it continues -- and it better not -- I'll be handing out warnings and/or infractions.

 

[Taak19]

It's not like the Avs are up against the cap. The only one it affected is the owner.

 

[the_fan]

Signed or not signed, O'Reilly can't help this team, it's not gonna make any difference. This team is gonna miss the playoffs yet another year.

I wouldn't match, I'd just get the picks and draft a d-man. I just hope this team does just one smart move and at least trade Stastny for a much needed d-man now that they signed ROR.

 

[AvsWraith]

ROR : "****! They matched! *Punches wall*

 

[Avs_19]

Rebound after rebound after rebound......

This is ugly. Varly needs to get his **** together.

 

[ColoradoSportsFan]

Let's see, a guy who signed for two years in russia, held out for over a month, signed an offer sheet with the ****ing Flames. I for one feel completely indifferent about him coming back.

Same here. If anything I would hope the Avs just let him stew in the press box the rest of the season. If he is such a team first guy that would be the worst punishment of all.

 

[The Shermanator]

Can we get Ryan out there for the 2nd?

 

[Mant*]

I don't see how this could be a good thing for the morale of the rest of the team. The biggest ********* holdout in recent memory just got rewarded for his ******** and is going to be making more money than far better players, guys that have bled for this team, this year, while Comrad was sitting on his ass and showing his character.

I hope he gets a blanket party.

 

[landesberg]

Getting O'Reilly back doesn't fix the Hunwick issue

 

[AvsWraith]

Wonder if Duchene fires his agent after the game.

 

[Taak19]

Same here. If anything I would hope the Avs just let him stew in the press box the rest of the season. If he is such a team first guy that would be the worst punishment of all.

That would be the dumbest move the Avs could possibly do. Ever.

 

[Avs_19]

Getting O'Reilly back doesn't fix the Hunwick issue

Put him on D.

We need a left handed parter for EJ.

 

[Avs For Life]

Should be fun to watch Sherman (who must be drunk) address the media

 

[Alex Jones]

Does anybody out there even care??

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Don't understand why you guys are making a fuss over the Duchene/ROR contracts. Duchene signed for less because he wanted to prove himself. Plus he's a lifetime Avs fan as a kid, the guy wants to play here and I'd be he ultimately doesn't give a rats ass what ROR is getting paid. He's playing for his childhood team and making over 3M a year and knows his next one will be for more.

Cant wait for ROR to come back. Unfortunately this probably means the end of Stas on our team. Im probably in the minority but Ive always liked him and don't want to see him get moved.
