GDT: Game 6 - Colorado @ Vegas - The Golden Blights - 8PM

[UncleRisto]

Getting your stick stuck in a slot, and not pulling it out, isn't normally a bad thing.

Never high stick in the slot unless you're also going for the wraparound. Especially, if you're a shoot-first player.

 

[Metallo]

He had a primary tonight.

I'm kidding. But I'm still not happy with his play. He's watered-down Cale up to now.

 

[SirLoinOfCloth]

If I had any natural language processing skills I'd put together a website that analyzes the chat on HFAvs and plots the overall sentiment (happy/sad, positive/negative) after each game. The thing would look like a heart monitor the way comments swing from "season over" to "back to back baby".

 

[Polite HKYDiscussion]

That 6.125x8 contract Nuke signed might be the new "Mack" contract when it comes to value.

If Nuke puts up 80 points while also being elite defensively, I'd say it's equally valuable.

Nuke’s on pace for 82 goals and 150 points.

He’s going to replace last years Kadr/Burka/Nuke production all by himself

 

[Metallo]

Wasn't this a guaranteed blowout loss? Huh

Stupid Avs not putting on their schedule a scheduled loss. So unprofessional.

 

[cccoltsicehockey]

That Nuke goal brought back some memories of a few Foppa goals. The big body and the way he shielded coming through players. Beautiful

To add to this, he spent the first couple/few games on a line with Nehook and Rodriguez when neither Newhook or Rodriguez had any points.

 

[AvsFan29]

The Mack contract is on another level. 6 of the 7 years the Avs got the peak of one of the worlds best players for 6.3M.

Nuke's deal just started, 8 years is a long time.

I said "might be". Yah I agree.

 

[The Pwnerer]

Really liking what I'm seeing from Georgiev. He obviously is quicker and more athletic then DK was but the best part for me is how well he plays the angle and squares up to shooters. He actually surprises me how big he plays in net just by his stance and butterfly. Pretty aggresive in there unlike the much more chill DK. Grubauer was my initial comparison but he's starting to remind me much more of Varlamov and his time with us. Hope he continues to build, so far so good.

Nice unexpected win, nice to see them actually play with some effort after the two lifeless games at home.

George is looking reasonable which is a nice plus.

Still concerning that we aren't generating much 5v5 and relying very heavily on the PP which the refs are refusing to give us. I guess the memo to the refs from the league was don't give them more than 2 tries a game. Even if it's completely blatant don't call it. As we've had a parade to the box lately while getting very little in our favor.

Depth is still a huge concern but if they play more games with that kind of effort it will help.


I mean 2 calls on a super physical Vegas is BS garbage. While they got double the chances.

Hi I started following Colorado Avesalanche since the Stanley Cup parade in June.

The former Stanley Cup champions need another elite forward. Should they trade for a top player like Canucks forward Jesus Tiberius Miller?

 

[tigervixxxen]

Vancouver can continue to hold the bag on that one

 

[The Kingslayer]

Great win last night. Nice to see some fight in this team again.

Georgiev was great last night. Nuke was amazing. Makar still not there yet and might not score a goal before Christmas.

Hes something special right now.

 

[Sea Eagles]

Weird that in the first 6 games of the season, the Stanley Cup Champions already have two back-to-back games. Great to see E-Rod starting to find form, and I'm betting Newy, JT and others will follow shortly as the chemistry and combinations build. We'll go on a huge win streak really soon.

Then as we are settled and motoring, in comes Helm, Landeskog, Toews....hahaha, watch out NHL world !

Lastly, Francy and Georgiev are really starting to settle in here. They'll be super amazing, you guys watch.

Where are you going?

I had to go to Atlanta... spent less than 28 hours in the city, but spent nearly 20 hours traveling. Gotta love flying today!
