Pre-Game Talk: Week of Feasts and Shopping (@TB, VGK, @Dal, Edm)

[forsbergavs32]

After a trio of wins on the road against the Flyers, Caps, and Panthers...the Avs will go back and forth between the road and the Sack for Thanksgiving week.

We kick off the true beginning day of the week (Monday) in Tampa for a tilt with the Bolts to go for a road trip sweep before heading home to take on Vegas for what hopefully turns out to be a pre-Thanksgiving feast. After stuffing their faces for Thanksgiving, the Avs will take a trip to Dallas to shop for 2 points on Black Friday. From there, the Avs get back to Denver to take on The Oilers in a late night game Saturday.

The Avs will have a rest on the final day of the week, Sunday, to enjoy some leftovers.


In lieu of typing out 50,000 options for a poll, just post an answer to the question

What are you thankful for this year? Doesn't have to be Avs related

I'm thankful that the Avs have kept themselves in the playoff race despite starting the year missing so many players.

7-2 in our last 9 games. Not too shabby.

Georgiev has won his last 5 starts with a combined .905 SV%.

Really tough week coming up, will be a great test for the team.

Tampa Bay tomorrow. Fly home to face Vegas. Fly out to Texas to face the Stars. Fly back home the same night to face the Oilers on a B2B.

There will be some tired legs a week from today.

Georgiev has won his last 5 starts with a combined .905 SV%.

That's a fancy way of saying he's only been above .900 two of his last five games.

The danger with Georgiev putting up wins now is that Bednar and the front office might go into "we only need him to..." mode and think they don't need to do anything about goaltending.

This isn't the 2022 Avs that can win the cup with poor goaltending.

This is some crazy difficult schedule for the Avs. Back and forth on the road and home against toughest teams

Forsberg will be on pre-game Wednesday. I'm trying to keep that in the back of my mind.
