Pre-Game Talk: Week of Afternoon Delights (Mon vs. MIN, Wed vs. WPG, Sat @ BOS, Sun @ NYR)

Wild are missing like 400 key players. Even if Makar doesn’t play, we should be able to beat them

Oh. So a couple short of how many we are missing

I mean they’re missing their MVP

Should, yes, but don't underestimate the Avs ability to play to the level of their competition. They have been doing it for years under Bednar.

This season alone they have lost twice to Chicago, to Nashville, and to NYI, lost at least 3 times to teams on the 2nd half of a B2B when the the Avs themselves were rested, and pulled out numerous stinkers vs. bad teams like Buffalo, Nashville, Anaheim, NYR, and San Jose. Not to mention they haven't been very good at home, 14-9-1 (They are 14-9-0 on the road).

In the words of @the_fan , that's game.

They just got pounded by Nashville after plotting to get revenge for Spurgeon.

They could be in for an emotional let down game and be ripe for the picking on top of missing Kaprizov, Brodin and Spurgeon.

You gotta tell me something….

Have we lost yet?

 

[expatriatedtexan]

Personally think we should start the week on Saturday. Nothing like getting two days off to start the freaking week!

Let's go Red Wings!!
They play Dallas tonite.

If Dallas loses and we win the green filthy ones tomorrow, we're for the first time this season at least momentarily number two in division. And I know I know games in hand, points percentage and all that, but to even be right there with all our early season adversity is truly awesome, and a job well done from front office to coaching to players stepping up.

Duchene with two points, 45 in 46. Makes you sick
