I'm a full believer though that nothing that happens now will matter when the playoffs get here. So despite all of my 'sky is falling' reactions recently, I still think the Preds have a shot. Kyle Turris still sucks though.

 

I don't know about that second part. It takes more than a player or two to be a contender, and Colorado still has a lot of work to do before they are a complete team. Nashville's core is locked down for years, and still young. The window is still wide open beyond this season.

 

He's teaching it to the rest of the Avs and life is good

sorry for the Barstool link

 

I've been an Avs follower for a few months now and I'm not prepared for anything but sky-is-the-limit optimism

The Avs will make the playoffs and go 16-0, or miss the playoffs and draft 1-2. There are no alternatives

 

Avs should be pretty loaded moving forward. Two lottery picks plus Makar added to their current group should be quite good

wonder who their goalie will be

 

A Pavel Francouz-Grubauer tandem looks great to me

There will be a couple playoff teams that crash out because of goaltending willing to overpay for Varlamov

 

I mean Turris hasn’t been great but it’s hard to argue that trade wasn’t the right deal at the time

 

It was, and honestly he was great through the rest of the regular season, and actually made Fiala and Smith better. That line was great. Then he disappeared in the postseason and hasn't been found since.

 

I thought the Turris trade was an absolute slam dunk at the time. Can't really blame Poile when he made a move that anyone in his position would have made.

 

go sharks

 

As much as I want the Blue Jackets to crash and burn and just miss the playoffs, as many writers and podcast people have said - if that happens then no GM/team will ever be as risky / bold as Columbus was this year. That part would suck because teams making risky deals is always fun.

 

Ugh come on Canes this is not the time for a losing streak

 

fuckin sabres

 

Imagine if the Oilers had more than 3 good players.

 

DET-BUF to OT is awesome

 

fuuuuuuck

 

Detroit passes NJ

the two teams play tomorrow night

I knew the Wings were gonna get a boost after the NCAA signings. Super happy for Larks potting 30 on the season but Jesus fucking Christ guys... please let that be the last win of the season..

Hirose is a stud though. Very excited to see how he progresses.

 

Also going to a Grand Rapids Griffins game for the first time tomorrow. Super excited to see Zadina hopefully tear it up on $2 beer night.

 

that dude looks good

Hell yeah, they stop selling beer before the 3rd so make sure to double fist until then lol

 

Oh shit. Thanks for the heads up. Seems like you’ve been to Van Andel before so do you know if the beers are like 12-16 ouncers or smaller plastic cups?

Unbelievably stoked to spend the night in GR and finally hit up the Founders brewery.

 

the ones I got last year were pretty small plastic cups

 

That loss by the Jets tonight is a big one.

 

lmao sharks
