Looks like late night Tim Hortons is back on the menu for ROR.

David Jones sighting!

He was drunk in that photo

2 perfect games in a row for the european fans. Makar is back but Annunen? Rather him than JoJo i guess..... bring it on!

 

[Balthazar]

Why is Francouz injured again by the way? He never seems to get injured in games but somehow dude is always injured.

I'll be OK to let him walk at the end of that contract.

 

[missionAvs]

ROR with the hatty and then hops on the plane to Toronto right after the game. We win the game 3-0.

You sure about that?


Annunen in makes this basically a guaranteed loss.

 

[Ararana]

Super convenient for the Blues to trade ROR away the night before we play them. Avs better take advantage of this and scoop up two points.

Doesn't make sense to me to start Annunen today for this reason.


Play George and get the easy 2 points. Instead they're opening the door to easily go 0-2 in this b2b now.

 

[RECKLESS]

You sure about that?

Nope!

In Justus we trust. Sending positive vibes for the kid. He can be phenomenal. I've seen it live here in Funland. Hope the team steps up defensively in support of him.

Oh jesus. I didn't see that they're starting Justice.

Bednar playing 4D chess against himself here.

 

[Balthazar]

I agree that if we lose because of Annunen today and then face rested Oilers tomorrow it's not good. Could easily go 0-2.

underrated post

I would have made Justus the sacrificial lamb to the Oilers in back-to-backs. That said, St. Louis is a worse team than 24 hours ago and hopefully the Avs can capitalize on that. Score one early, send Binnington into a tailspin, get the 2 points.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Oh jesus. I didn't see that they're starting Justice.

Yeah. Clearly trying to win both games instead of taking the "guaranteed" 2 points today.

Just not the right move at all. Especially since Annunen really is terrible. Start George in this game and you've got a solid 80% chance at a Win


Now it's basically 50/50.

 

[The Moops]

Epic GDT. Hopefully they drop 10 on the baby

Na not sure just trying to make me feel more optimistic about the game

Yeah starting Annunen might come back and bite us in the ass. Going 0-2 this weekend would be a terrible outcome.

 

[Thepoolmaster]

Avs don't want the blues to get Bedard. Trying to hurt the tank efforts and get the win against the Oilers.

If it's like normal when the Avs start an AHL guy, Stl will have 47 SOG, and 7 PPs
