GDT: Game 81: Sharks vs Avalanche, The Sharknado Sequel | 8:30 PM MT | April 5, 2018

No Kane.

Even if the AVS win tonight, all St Louis needs to do to force a winner take all Saturday is get a point tomorrow.

Not exactly.

If we win, and St. Louis gets a point tomorrow only, they’d need to beat us in regulation. All we’d need to do is get to OT.

 

[Coloradorov]

I believe!

 

[Bubba Thudd]

Yes, come on Avalanche! Time to show your new punter that you take games against the SJ Raiders seriously...

Oh, wait, sorry, wires crossed.

 

[TruePowerSlave]

I would split the lines for this game as a bunch of guys have gone ice cold. At worst you go back to the previous lines mid game but it could wake up some of the players, there is nothing to lose really.

Hopefully this is a win. The Avs need to get going here before the Blues game and there is always the possibility that the Hawks win. Also a win here would mean that the Blues really have to go for it tomorrow or they are out. If the Avs lose, the Blues Hawks game is going to be a weird one. It means almost nothing for the Blues and they know that the big one is the next day. You would have to think that they would limit the minutes of their top guys.

This wont be an easy game. Sharks still very much have something to play for. Kings are only 2 points behind them for the 2nd in the division, Ducks only 1 back. I'm sure they don't want to fall to 3rd or wildcard spot.

Carl! Hahaha

 

[UncleRisto]

Carl! Hahaha

Three of the six on the list are:
1. Ride scooters.
2. Play hockey.
3. Speak with whales.

Ugh, the earliest I could make it to the game is an hour after it starts...*sigh*

 

[The Merchant]

I'm sure this has been answered 50 times by now, but do the Sharks have anything to play for at this point?

 

[Freudian]

Sharks can still be passed by Ducks and Kings, losing home ice advantage in the first round.

 

[The Abusement Park]

I'm sure this has been answered 50 times by now, but do the Sharks have anything to play for at this point?

Very much so.

 

[The Merchant]

Guess I could've just looked at the standings, but NHL.com is Satan incarnate. So thanks!

 

[AvsFan29]

Even if we lose tonight, the best thing that can happen for the Avs is Macks line getting some goals and getting their confidence back before Saturday.

 

[agentblack]

Easy Win.

 

[ArWKo]

Crossing my fingers that we see beast mode MacKinnon tonight and that this cold streak has been mostly a result of him fighting through illness.

 

[lonelybadger]

Not exactly.

If we win, and St. Louis gets a point tomorrow only, they’d need to beat us in regulation. All we’d need to do is get to OT.

True. Stupid loser points. I forgot that AVS would end up with 96 points, and Blues 95.

9296 kill it tonight. And by it I mean the playoff hopes of the Blues. They will see Mack and the boys score 5 against the Sharks, and get so nervous about a must win game they will turtle tomorrow.

 

[Pokecheque]

Just win the damned game please.

 

[Jixer19]

Just win the damned game please.

I wish I could give this so many more likes.

Just win Avs!

 

[Taak19]

Just f***ing win.

 

[Murzu]

European dedication right here: get home 1:40 AM after student party while being a lil drunk, wake up 6 AM to watch the game and go to work at 9 AM

good night everyone, see ya in couple of hours

 

[Jarey Curry]

I have to say that Blackhawks winning the St Louis like that yesterday was unexpected and a big big blessing for the Avalanche.

 

[Jarey Curry]

Get ready boys awesome pump up song by the OP to set the tone for the second biggest match of the season!

 

[Avs_19]

I'm excited for Barberio's return.
