Might just not be interested in having a bunch of annoying undergrads show up. Taught a film crew a big lesson about how to make sure you’ve actually closed everything and not just both ends of the street when some friends and I walked right into the middle of a shoot years ago because they never bothered to block off one of the walking paths. If you know what you’re doing you can find where all the film shoots there are and before CGI took over got to watch them do explosions and everything

According to some Avs fans, trading Rantanen could be a competitive boon to the team, because he's a floater and had a couple bad series. We should jettison him while his value is high.

 

[niwotsblessing]

Or we can pay him $13 mil and watch the window slam shut on the Eagles.

btw- I was told the B2B in this roadie was going to be hell. Maybe not.

Can someone teach me about the goals saved above expected stat? Is it as simple as it sounds? What goes into it?

Because Justus is #1 in the league for goals saved above expected per 60 with a minimum of 5 games (yes, I know he’s only played 7). Homeboy Georgie is 27th…

It is just a comparison to the league average. If league average is .915 and a goalie has faced 1000 shots giving up 75 goals… we have 10 GSAA. The per is just divided by minutes then multiplied by 60. Now each area has a different average and you can narrow down 5v5, total, PP, PK etc. but that’s the stat.

The playoff push is on… Avs are simply entering stealth mode:

No one was expecting Justus to be as good as he is.

If he turns into a bonafide starter. That Duchene trade goes from a robbery to an oceans 11 heist.

This gif needs to be used more often. It's basically our colors.

But then we have to see Dave Portnoy.

Tell me about this guy and why we should avoid.....oh, Barstool. Sigh, nevermind

edit: Barstool was enough for me, but reading his wiki... yeah, he's a dick

 

[lionsDen]

Could also put together a pretty hefty goon squad with Dale Hunter, Jeff Odgers, Tie Domi, etc..

One of these days I want to bust out an NHL game and just create different all-time rosters for the Avs for S&Gs.

Chris simon, Peter worrell, Scott Parker too!

I promise I won’t go to bed tonight when Georgiev allows goals on the first 2 shots again.

I shall have faith.

So you'll go to bed when he lets in his third on three shots, then?

 

[Ceremony]

So you'll go to bed when he lets in his third on three shots, then?

He'll go to bed when McDavid takes the lead in the scoring race.

 

[NorthernAvsFan]

Man, I see so many different options for this forward group when they get some kind of health.


Lehkonen - MacKinnon - Nichushkin
Duhaime - Mittelstadt - Rantanen
Drouin - Colton - Parise
Wood - Cogs - Trenin

I honestly wouldn’t even mind riding with Duhaime on line 2 as a fast forechecking guy and just spreading the wealth around the lineup. Especially if you have Rantanen and Mittelstadt on go with him.

And he is the embodiment of the gif…he sucks

"I'm not injured"

Everyone can see you're full of shit, man.

Live look at Makar loosening out the hips in the medical room:

He could be sick now. It's been slowly going around the room

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Last game there was 7D. So with JD, Lehky, and Parise all returning, you'd assume that Jones, Olaf, and Kivi all sit. Question is, what are the lines?
