Im here op

>There's literally 2 of us
>>64729770
Hey bro
>>64729791
>>64729796
>have to watch a blues stream
>no overly optimistic Peter McNabb to make everything seem ok.
>>64729847
Peter McNabb, making this team seem ok for over a decade.
>tfw 2001 was 15 years ago
>>64729884
the only broadcaster to make Peter Budaj sound like a good starting goaltender.
I still don't know how he did it.
>>64729899
I think he's part of the reason I bother to watch the Avs after all these years.
Well, three top picks helps too.
Fuck that was so close.
>>64729899
He could sell ice to an Eskimo
>someone in /hoc/ said Varlamov wasn't good cause of some arbitrary fancy stat
Meanwhile, it seems like most of the time this team wins, it's because he steals the game...
Will this team ever have NHL-calibre defence senpai?
SCOOOORE!
Goddamn Matty :^)
Like the start boys
Nice backhand goal, maybe a little soft but hey I'll take it.
>>64729696
Hi guys
>>64730057
He's good senpai, but I think he gave us all unrealistic expectations after he stood on his head for basically the entire 13-14 season
>>64730057
He's a true elite goaltender.
Avs just aren't a good team in front of him on most years.
/hoc/ doesn't actually know anything. I wouldnt take them too seriously. Its just memes.
>>64730177
Yo bro! How's Hong Kong?
>>64730238
Well, desu, they haven't been that bad. Won the division + 90 points, last two years have been better than most.
>missing the playoffs with 90 points
>what-the-fuck.jpg
>>64730372
New payoff format is hot garbage
>>64730372
They have a lot of young talent, but they are also prone to playing like shit for long stretches, especially defensively.
Varly steals games sometimes, which helps get those 90 points.
Not a bad team, but they do give bad efforts sometimes. Haha I still remember that shitty look Berra gave his teammates in a loss early this season.
Im just glad they are getting it going now. Its not too late to make the playoffs if they keep winning 6+ games out of every 10.
Goddamn Tarasenko is too good senpai.
Son of a bitch
>>64730421
>the Avs would be 2nd in the Pac
Fuck you Gary Bettman. Fuck you Winnipeg. Fuck you Atlanta.
>>64730502
I know m8 I fucking hate him
>>64730529
>>64730536
last years playoffs was some of the least competitive playoffs I can remember.
some teams just looked like they didn't belong. *cough* Calgary/Vancouver *cough*
>>64730624
*cough* Winnipeg *cough*
Fuck me
Fuck are the Avs even trying on the PK anymore?
Nothing like some refpuck...
>>64730681
Nope, sucks because it used to be a decent strength.
>>64730673
>>64730681
another "give up 40+ shots" performance incoming.
Here we go Varly, see if he can get the steal.
>>64730690
To be honest I saw that tripping a mile away. I even said it out loud before they called it.
>>64730700
Too bad we lost our two best PKers for nothing...
>Nick Holden in charge of covering the slot
Why is this AHLer in the roster senpai?
>>64730761
Because Zadorov and Siemens aren't quite ready yet.
>>64730784
Avs shoulda given Jack Hillen a shot desu.
>>64730714
Looked like a dive to me on the replay senpai
>>64730872
Beauchemin was our temporary band aid for composure on the back end.
I think we're just hoping we get a true a number 1 pairing of Siemens + Zadorov in the years to come. Problem is...we could use another band aid right now. Guys like Iginla and Tanguay really can't wait.
>>64730899
I agree on replay, but in the heat of action it looked it.
>>64730931
I was kind of hoping they got Franson in the off-season. Seemed like a perfect 3-4 kinda guy which looks like what they need most.
>>64730872
>>64730931
also I should mention Holden is getting extra minutes because Johnson is out for this game...which is easy to overlook but hurts the avs shallow defensive core a lot.
MASK OFF
Fuuuuuck
Holden is literally the worst.
Who else on the Blues needs to score?
>holden blown coverage: goal
>guenin turn over: goal
this team just needs some defensemen that aren't amateurs.
>>64731069
>mfw they're so bad that I still can't stop mixing them up
What the fuck SakRoy do something.
I hate to give up on a game, but this is just fucking sad
>>64731089
>>64731069
>>64731052
Seriously
IT AINT OVER YET!
>tfw was in denver last weekend
Blue Pan best pizza
Also why are there so many blues fans there? I wasn't alone on the slopes, and I ran into some snotty cunt with a Blues hat on...Also a fuck a goal cause this team is a bunch of faggots
SCAAARRR
>>64731114
Well, not so sad now I guess.
>>64731185
Yeah I'll keep watching
>>64731176
Denver is full of transplants because the Midwest and California are both shitholes now. Also you have the worthless "muh weed" types flocking here.
Chicago played at Denver and there was more Chicago fans than Avs fans...it was painful.
>>64730421
>mad at promoting rivalries for higher viewership Wednesday night games
>>64731219
It's getting to a point where it's unbearable on the east slope. Good thing the west is still relatively clean of transplants. Now if we could do something about all the homeless and methheads.
>>64731219
Fuck I'm sick of Californians ruining the rest of the west because their own state is too far gone
t. Montana Avsbro
>>64731250
Why would I not be mad at greedy jews
>>64730300
Kinda boring here... No one watch hockey in Hong Kong
>>64731281
in Denver we have dumb kids coming here with the intent of being homeless, just so they can do nothing in life but smoke weed.
I've never seen such worthless people in all my life until these last couple years. Its becoming a real problem here, because the real homeless can't get into the shelter. They can't get their meals or beds to sleep in because some apathetic white kid with a rasta cap wants to run away from home to smoke weed and do nothing else.
Its fucking cancer, Denver used to be a great city. One of the best kept secrets of the whole country. Now its getting trashy like other American cities.
>blatant refpuck to make up for the other refpuck
Do referees even try anymore?
>>64731333
Nice trips. Live there or work?
>>64730931
I get no hope on Siemens... But yes, Zadorov seems a real deal.
>>64731356
Just wait senpai, my whole country is about to become like that. :^)
>>64731356
I was wondering why the mayor of Denver hasn't killed all the homeless, much like Guliani did in NYC
5 on 3, woot woot
>>64731389
Because most of Colorado politicians are fucking idiot drunks.
>playing nickelback in your rink
Disgusting
>>64731389
Liberal Mayor, Liberal state Governor too.
Thanks to the Californian transplants.
>>64731396
>be the Avs
>have a 5-on-3 completely handed to them by the refs
>manage one (1) shot on goal
>from like 20 feet
>dat brunette qt in the 20th anniversary jersey
>>64731537
I too saw this qtp2t
>>64731537
>>64731588
Fuck, I missed it
Thread done died
>>64732011
not much going on, quiet game now.
>>64732030
Avs are at least outplaying the Blues atm.
WHY CANO HOLD ALL THESE FUCKING PINGS
>>64732058
if they could stop hitting the post, thatd be great.
>>64732090
i agree 100% desu senpai
Mackinnon's side step acceleration into the zone is the exact way I use him in NHL 16, lel.
It's funny how many times he does in it in real, cause sometimes I feel corny for abusing it in the game but remembering he abuses it in real life makes it seem more genuine.
That move just seems to always work for him, great at splitting defense and/or gaining the zone with speed.
>avs on the penalty kill
>this period
>>64732392
Empty net goal by St Louis...unfortunately.
>>64732405
pls no
>>64732405
I don't have a horse in this race, but it's been an pretty fun game to watch, hoping for OT tbqh
wew lads they did it
>>64732405
The city of you
>>64732437
Looks like Ot, Mr. Buffalo Wild Wings guy
>>64732460
Im surprised but relieved.
>>64732483
>Mr. Buffalo Wild Wings guy
huh?
>it was 3-1
>St. blew it
>>64732511
Odd, considering it's not the playoffs yet
>Playing Holden in OT
Uhh...
>>64732548
He made a nice little run there
>>64732502
you've never seen those "hope for overtime" commercials by Buffalo Wild Wings?
Maybe its a regional thing, idk.
Of course this fucking team would lose again
gg avsbros
hilarious ending, AVS WIN
>is this a winning streak?
Dat feathered pass tho
gg bloos
>>64732664
John Mitchell is a really good 4th line player. Hes been a great find for the Avs.
having that depth is why they might make the playoffs this year.
>>64732674
If only they had that kind of depth on defense. :^)
>>64732687
we are 1 defensive pairing away from being a real cup contender.
Barrie-johnson
???-???
Beauchemin - Stuart/Redmond
>>64732728
Honestly Beauche on the 2nd isn't bad either. Stuart, on the other hand, I strongly object to.
If only Zadorov could step up this season.
>>64732771
yeah in fairness we need like 3 defensemen that can play some minutes.
a good 2nd pairing and a 3rd guy for depth defense/substitution/injury.
Beating the blues without Johnson is impressive though.
>>64732817
Yeah, Bodnarchuk made a pretty decent debut.
Actually, he might fit the role of that depth guy. The Avs might be alright with just looking for a 2nd-pair guy at the deadline.
>>64732848
I wish they'd get active at the trade deadline this year.
We can trade away a draft pick to win now and it wouldn't ruin the team with how many young players we have already in the NHL and our AHL program isn't looking bad either with guys like Rantanen and Zadorov.
