Whoa the regular ends this week? I don't have access to watch the playoffs right now, YouTube TV got too expensive. What do yous guys use?

Ours ends on Sunday the 13th but the actual league season ends on the 17th, playoffs likely begin on the 19th.

The Avs will have 5 full days of rest before playing game 1 of the 1st round, potentially 6 if they start on Sunday.
 
^ This. So much selective memory around G in the playoffs. He got his sternum destroyed by a huge, borderline illegal, hit and suddenly he's useless. Yet another HFAvs narrative that's basically bullshit.
It's not selective memory at all. It's just there is a subset of our board that really, really dislikes Girard. Their perception of him is that he's a net negative. Because of this, they make sure to point out all the times their perception shows to be true (each time Girard makes a mistake)... however, they are too emotional to allow the positive things he does to even really register.

At least, I know I've certainly gotten into that zone on certain players.

Playoffs are already scheduled to start on the 19th I believe. I would assume we’ll play on the 19th since we gonna have so much time off

Depends on the opponent and whether or not the arena has other events scheduled.

ESPN+ doesn't really work for me in the playoffs as every game is a national broadcast.

Even during the season, I end up subscribing to Sling.tv in order to pick up ESPN and ESPN2 (the proper channels) as well as TNT. (the "Sling Orange" package. Then I snag the "Sports Extra" package to get NHLN. Once the playoffs start, because the Avs are in the western conference, I also have to subscribe to the "Entertainment Extra channels" in order to pick up TruTV, because every single one of our games on TNT will start on TruTV. It's really getting ridiculous the number of subscriptions you need in order to just follow one team's season.

Oh I used to think G was too small for the POs and was open to trading him. Now I think the Avs should keep him.

MacKinnon gotta be hurt. He doesn't miss optional skates let alone practices.

Well, there’s something wrong because he hasn’t practiced or even had a gameday skate in over 2 weeks.

He literally just plays games and that’s it.

Ahh yeah that's pretty stupid. I was thinking that all the playoff games were still on ESPN+ so that's my bad I guess. I can't remember what I did last year...

I'll just say the NHL is pretty much a f***ing joke in this regard. The fact that every fan of a western conference team has to change channels during the game is f***ing outrageous in this day and age.

They start the f***ing game on TruTV, a channel nobody has and then switch back to TNT, whenever it's f***ing convienent for the guys on the east coast to actually shut the f*** up about a game everyone just watched.

This is where i think owners need to put the screws to Bettman and fix it. The only problem is COMCAST is sitting in the room pissing on smaller markets.
