GDT: Game 78: Hawks @ Avs | Friday, March 30th, 7pm MT | Pray For Me

[Ceremony]

Much Woe?
Make War?
Mike Who?

Mark Alt

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

With how tight the race is down the road, if the Avs don't win this one they may as well start golfing.

 

[Coloradorov]

Ceremony wins. Its mark Alt, who is going to get a 1st period hatty.

 

[Avs]

If we can't beat the Hawks with their 3rd string goalie we don't deserve a playoff spot.

Isn't Berube the goalie that beat us the game they beat us in OT?

 

[the_fan]

Avs playing against back up goalie is bad enough, but the 3rd goalie? They're doomed.

 

[NOTENOUGHJTCGOALS]

Toews going to school MacK again. No surprises.

 

[agentblack]

I forgot whose playing tonight then I remembered and immediately commenced epic eye roll
So I’m thinking 60/40 Hawks fans to Avs fans ratio

Shouldn't all the bandwagon fans be back in hiding by now?

Yeah there will be less Avs fans now that we are out of the playoff race.

 

[Raucherhusten]

Magic 8-Ball much? Standings tell a different story.

 

[ArWKo]

I'll wager there will still be a hefty Hawks contingent since I know a lot of them buy the tickets at the start of the season.

 

[agentblack]

Def feels like us and ARZ get it the worst
But then again there’s a lot of Avs fans in Arizona for some odd reason

 

[RockLobster]

"Naggers"

LOL, yeah I was thinking of that as well. "Oh... Oh, naggers..."

Might be my favorite Randy Marsh moment, so funny.

"Uhhh....I don't know if I should say it..."

 

[McMetal]

This'll be my last game of the season unless they squeak into the playoffs. It's usually about 50/50 Avs to Hawks fans. Half my party is actually going to be in cherry red, but she's cute so she gets a pass.

My roommate and I get the STL game, so hopefully that game will actually mean something. I know you’ve had good luck this year, hope you can bring some tonight!

The only two losses I've seen were the Devils and the Flames this whole season! Oh and Nashville, but at least they got a point out of that one.

I’ve seen a couple losses, but none with my roommate. So here’s to one last W for ya!

 

[klozge]

A win tonight and we can dream on a bit. Make it happen, Avs!

 

[El Travo]

Avs, let's make this a happy drinking night instead of just drowning away our sorrows.

 

[AMDZen]

Magic 8-Ball much? Standings tell a different story.

Well he'll be correct when (if) we lose tonight.

And of course there will be more Hawks fans than avs fans at the game. There are more people from chicago now in Denver than people from denver

 

[Rumplesnipeskin]

Must win... enough said.

 

[ASmileyFace]

Just got into DIA and will be headed straight to the game! Let's go boys! The dream ain't dead yet

 

[Jarey Curry]

Anaheim and LA play each other tonight...


So one way or another, a team we're chasing is not going to get 2 points tonight.


As long as we win tonight game we'll still control our own fate heading into the last week of the season. If we win and the Ducks lose we'll actually jump ahead of them in the standings before the biggest game of the season on Sunday night.


If the Ducks win and we win, well we stay 1 point behind them, but also jump back to just 1 point behind LA with a game in hand.


So we still control our own fate. But this is a huge game for a couple of reasons. One, there's no excuse to lose to a team that far down the standings, coming in on the 2nd night of a B2B, with a 3rd string goalie in net. The second reason this game is huge, is it gives the forwards(Especially Mack and Rantanen) the chance to get on the scoreboard again and get rid of this cold streak that the offense has went on lately.


Both games against Vegas and the game against Philly were winnable games, but the offense simply could not score goals when we needed them to. We need that offense to come back if we're going to make a run of things down the stretch.

Ducks and Kings both have 4 home games while we have only 1 after this, I'm scared

 

[dahrougem2]

I hope the Hawks decide to play free wheeling hockey. It'll bode well for us. They're usually a team that MacKinnon and the rest of the top guys perform well against, so hopefully we can use the Hawks to get them out of this funk they're in prior to the California trip.

 

[ASmileyFace]

Crazy how much red is in this building right now. Feels like a quarter of the Denver Metro Area is Hawks fans.
