10th Mountain Avs

Coach Q motioning for the dive on that hit on Wedgewood shows what an absolute clown shoe that man is…

But we can watch them for free. So they’ve got that going for them, which is nice.

Strong period. Ducks broadcast is loving dunking on our atrocious power play… even though I cautiously say it’s looked decent tonight.

John Kelly constantly taking about Forsberg is messing with my brain.

I’m going to try and bring the Kings’ “all five players go to the top of the crease and hit the deck” defensive chaos to my beer league team.

Blown call has changed the look of this game entirely. Up until that moment, Avs were putting on an offensive zone clinic. Now it’s just a gong show on both ends. The NHL (A Fanatics Experience).

Unbelievable.

The driiiiiiive!

Only advantage to watching this game on Fanduel PointsBet Reno Municipal Casino Sports is that I get to hear the familiar tones of John Kelly on the play by play.

Oof. Rust.

Forever a champion. Forever mon chum.

Just getting a chance to sit down... Favorite Girard memory was in Summer 2022. I had been watching him practice for a couple weeks with my little dude. He stopped his practice grabbed a stick and autographed it for my then 3 yr old. He is a good human. #Avs #GoAvsGo @HockeyMtnHighCO

Too big for here but wanted to share what Jared Bednar had to say about Sam Girard.

This better be setting up a flip. Otherwise it’ll be a rare CMac misfire.

Don’t like this move at all.

Girard has been solid and the third-best defender on the Avs for some time now. Kulak would’ve been a solid 6th or 7th defender. But filling in for G AND giving Pittsburgh a 2nd?! Yeah no. #GoAvsGo

Very much looking forward to the sub-Reddit discourse inevitably now shifting from wanting him out to, “I hate that we traded away Girard.”

Sorry, 53 by the time I finished typing that.

Sweden with 49 SOG. Wait... now 50.

Landy's looking pretty good so far. Who'd have thought an international tournament would be his conditioning assignment to get back up to speed? This guy, I tell you.

Yikes. Even the hockey is tacky.

And Jon Cooper’s idea of cheese ball pirate is…

(This is like, early ‘90’s levels of Vegas stupid.)

Ah, yes. The Ol’ Beer Bellied Retirees of the Caribbean.

Got that new chicklets confidence.

He really has been great. Amazing how quickly he got up to full speed.

Lord, this is what a power play is SUPPOSED to look like.

Avs finally looking like themselves again. Keep this going, gents.

I mean… yes, can’t win ‘em all, slumps are normal, mid-season doldrums when the playoff format gives you nothing to play for, etc. etc. — but man, am I worried about bad habits forming here with a team that clearly had things to still work on.
