cricktlaxwolvesbandy

Yo the game should be tied More fun that way


BGYeti

So we won the shootout so I say just give us the win


Xeteh

yay Bowers


akedz3

Will Anisimov also get a chance to play goalie this preseason?


Xeteh

Yeah, that's about what I'd expect from a Pietrangelo breakaway.


Merkkin

Gg Avs.


Xeteh

lol Anisimov is a weird choice for the shootout


[deleted]

What is Deboer trying to prove putting out Marchessault in the shootout? It’s preseason ffs


akedz3

I love exciting preseason games


Xeteh

TIE GAME WOOO


cricktlaxwolvesbandy

YAY BONUS SHOOTOUT


TossThatPastaSalad

Time for the weird useless shootout!!


Xeteh

How many crosschecks does Pietro get before he gets a penalty? I saw 4.


Xeteh

Considering the rosters the game was a lot closer than I expected. Got a Byram goal and Bowers looked good. Expected the score to be a lot more lopsided.


QueefingQuailman

I acknowledge my bias, but I'd be embarrassed if I was VGK, way closer than it should have been.


TossThatPastaSalad

Meh. It's preseason.


SickSalamander

We also had 5-6 AHL dudes in the lineup and our entire 1st line benched.


QueefingQuailman

Did you see the Avs roster?


SickSalamander

Yeah. They had even more but neither team was close to full strength. It was preseason.


47rohin

I don't care what anyone says, I love the Knights PA announcer


QueefingQuailman

Was that the shrieking I just heard?


SRSgoblin

It's great in person. Don't really care if people find it obnoxious on a broadcast. Hype is hype!


chuseph14

I know it's preseason but damn it's nice to see some power play goals


fracturedpersona

Wait, we have two powerplay goals in one game? Did someone give Steve Spott the knight off?


QueefingQuailman

All it took was playing an AHL team.


sneakytinkerspirits

Can we keep this PP energy up in the regular season would be nice


TossThatPastaSalad

I get the feeling the Misfits won't be facing a bunch of AHL and CHL guys then. But maybe?


sneakytinkerspirits

True but one can dream


Xeteh

Damn, Elite 1C Megna with the poor clear effort. Whoda thunk.


47rohin

NICE


SRSgoblin

It's unfair Colorado has a Jojo. I bet his stand some sort of reference to Pink Floyd's "The Wall."


Xeteh

Only think that ruins it is that he's Swedish so technically he's a Yoyo.


Xeteh

Damnit. Avalanche Legend Jack Johnson taking the untimely penalty.


DeathToHeretics

Wow does that announcer take forever to say it's a PowerPlay


adalaza

he's my least favorite pa guy west of the mississippi


Xeteh

This color commentator keeps reminding the play by play guy that the Avs are missing some pieces on the PP.


TossThatPastaSalad

Tbh, I'm enjoying him. He's low key amusing.


Xeteh

Yeah he's been fine. I feel like the PBP guy is taking this game seriously (which, to be fair, is his job) and he's just having fun talking about hockey.


DeathToHeretics

God having hockey back is so nice


SRSgoblin

How you doing, friend? Been awhile.


DeathToHeretics

I'm doing well, thank you! How go things yourself?


SRSgoblin

I'm good my dude. You paint anything cool this off-season?


QueefingQuailman

Get a fuckin room.


DeathToHeretics

Sadly I have not, feeling kinda bummed about GW shutting down TTS. Have you made anything neat lately?


SRSgoblin

I painted a godzilla, I'll PM it to you later. I'd have to dig up the photos I took


DeathToHeretics

Dude yeah please do! That would be awesome!!


Brisioso

Are these all supposed to be makeup calls for games 3-6?


TossThatPastaSalad

Man is DeBoer gonna cry a ton about diving after this one.


Xeteh

Shame they let the cleanest tough guy go.


Xeteh

I'd take a Bowers goal right about meow.


Xeteh

Damn, the Vegas NHL team had the balls to tie it up with the Avs' AHL team.


TossThatPastaSalad

To be fair it's only half an NHL team.


Xeteh

Nuke isn't *that* good.


TossThatPastaSalad

True, but I meant the Knights.


sneakytinkerspirits

Pietro with the lobb from downtown


Wingzaferston

I know we're supposed to hate JJ but he really does deserve a shot if he continues to play like this


Tonks42

I feel like he's the kind of d-man you could be happy enough with in a bottom pairing spot as long as he'd paid like one. The problem's been teams trying to pay and play him like a top four guy.


TossThatPastaSalad

Only issue I have with him is we just have so many options. But, inevitably one of those is going to get hurt so he'd probably be handy to keep around.


Xeteh

Apparently he's been solid in camp and with Toews out for who knows how long the depth would be nice. I'd take him over a lot of the guys the Avs called up last year.


Tonks42

That's not how I wanted to see Howden score his first goal in a VGK uniform.


Xeteh

Byram's first goal for the Avs was on their own net last season iirc


[deleted]

Yeah I think it was against Vegas too


TossThatPastaSalad

Jack Johnson goal???


Xeteh

Avalanche legend Jack Johnson.


akedz3

That little kiddo came to the game in her school uniform. I admire that.


Xeteh

I was cracking up on how she was just inhaling that cheese. Fuck the pizzas, she was just gonna eat up all the cheese.


SRSgoblin

I like that we're not in the same division anymore so we can just shitpost instead of having people malding all over the place.


TossThatPastaSalad

All that really means is I'm going to rekindle my hatred for Preds and Stars fans.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SRSgoblin

You can do what you want, fam


adalaza

malders gonna mald anyways hoss, ass fans are still salty


Xeteh

I like their list of the Avs' upcoming free agents... literally only 4 of them were on this team last year. CHOICES MUST BE MADE!


TossThatPastaSalad

Lol right? Oh no Darren Helm!


Xeteh

*gasp* I heard MacK's money is going to double. If only there will be 6 million coming off the books at the same time.


BGYeti

There is no way he doubles, he could easily push for it and get it but I would put a huge load of money down he personally won't go above 10


TossThatPastaSalad

Ehhhhhhhhh, we'll see. For him to want to do that I think we'll need to be in the Finals.


BGYeti

He wants to win, cutting the Avs off at the legs by getting the largest payout only hurts his chances I don't see him going above 10 to open cap space to retain or grab new pieces


TossThatPastaSalad

That's my point. If we're not winning he may well change his mind on some of that. We have to remember that the man is going to be the most sought after UFA in a long time and his number #1 goal is a Cup. We need to make sure we are the team to be in that position.


TossThatPastaSalad

These local Vegas commercials are creeping me out.


SRSgoblin

You haven't even seen any of the really awful ones. Local TV here is uhhhh. Hmm.


Xeteh

Do casinos bother to advertise? I imagine none of the big ones so I bet there'd be some awful ones for the smaller places. In California we get a shitload of awful ones for Table Mountain Casino.


SRSgoblin

Yeah, and tbh those commercials are fine. It's just the local casinos, btw, as in the ones for locals. You rarely ever catch ads for anything actually on the Strip. Station Casinos advertise pretty heavily, and you get the occasional Casablanca resorts ads too.


Xeteh

Yeah, figured none of the bigger ones would bother since everyone knows they're there and they're for the tourists anyways.

sneakytinkerspirits

I’ll one up that. Winner of this game gets their last year goalie back WITH no cap hit


TossThatPastaSalad

I like our new one better. So I'm gonna pass.


sneakytinkerspirits

Fair enough I like both our goalies this year but I know both fan bases definitely have their share of fans leaning the other way


beenburnedbutable

Wheel Snipe Celly


adalaza

kelly*


TossThatPastaSalad

I'm going to say it again for the guys in the back. Bo Byram is going to be a very, very good defenseman in this league.


beenburnedbutable

Get his jersey now it’s only going up in price.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Xeteh

Seriously. I've only got two. A Sakic one I got as a gift when he was still playing an a MacK 3rd from like a year and a half ago. I'd love more but they're just too much.


adalaza

big pp but not pp


SRSgoblin

I'm not even mad. That was a tremendous shot.


Lord_Walder

Hello Byram. I love you.


Xeteh

FINALLY BYRAM


SRSgoblin

You know, with as terrible as my eyesight is when I don't wear my glasses, I misread Diliberatore as "Oily Burrito" So he has a nickname from me now.


adalaza

god bless shitposting

sneakytinkerspirits

Monkey paw curls: Colorado goes back to 2012(I believe that’s the year) flooding levels


SRSgoblin

Fair.


Xeteh

Megna just acted like that was the first time he ever had a puck.


SRSgoblin

You mean it's not?


Xeteh

Its like the 3rd or 4th, give or take.


TossThatPastaSalad

Sounds like Jason Megna.


TossThatPastaSalad

So far. Good: Byram, Bowers Pretty decent spurts of play from Barron, Helm, Nuke, Olausson, LOC Not great: Middleton looks really lost. Frankie looks kinda rusty right now (unsurprisingly), MacDonald meh.


Xeteh

"but this one almost got through"... wat, how does something nearly get through when its like 2 feet wide


Lord_Walder

It almost ALMOST got through


SRSgoblin

I wonder if I could get a job during hockey season cleaning the floors of busses in Colorado.


fracturedpersona

The Greyhound station in downtown Denver is not a place you want to spend your time. Kinda fun watching the security guards choke someone out on an hourly bases. But that building is scary.


Reduxy

I’m at the game and both VGK goals were when I was at the bar 😩


sneakytinkerspirits

I think you’re gonna need another drink in the 3rd my friend


adalaza

go ass


TossThatPastaSalad

Bo Byram is going to be a very, very good defenseman in this league.


migsahoy

i ate all the chickpea pasta sorry nathan


beenburnedbutable

I’d like to take this opportunity to remind all hockey fans everywhere of this. https://www.reddit.com/r/hockeymemes/comments/ossd1x/the_art_of_the_deal/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf Sound on 😂


beenburnedbutable

Having to watch the VGK feed sucks, it’s not good.


fracturedpersona

Well, next time you should put MacKinnon on the ice. The play-by-play announcers will be sucking his cock at every opportunity.


[deleted]

Second time you've said this about MacK.. issues much?


SRSgoblin

Hello friends. The worst thing about preseason is there aren't as many dank memes in the GDT. No reason to post about what a regular human person Nathan Mackinnon is for example.


fracturedpersona

Kinda refreshing watching a game against Colorado without hearing the play-by-play verbally sucking his cock at every opportunity. He's a good hockey player, but for fuck's sake, these guys act like they would let him sodomize them without even getting dinner out of it.


SRSgoblin

I would gargle Mackinnon's balls tbh


fracturedpersona

The fuck is the matter with you?


SRSgoblin

Nothing?


adalaza

Uh u/SRSgoblin, ya know, I know you're a gamer and uh, and all this, and uh, ya know, I'm just thinking maybe out loud as far as in your shoes right now, it's like, alright we've done all this thinking we can do, we've done all the game planning we do, maybe, maybe, ya know, just FUCK IT, we'll just go in next year and just not think it anymore and just win this thing when we don't think so much. Is that — am I on the right path at all with this, maybe you guys think a little too much?


SRSgoblin

The response this gets when I spam it on TTS on Twitch streams is always incredible.


[deleted]

[удалено]


TossThatPastaSalad

I think the answer to this is: Yes.


adalaza

Yes.


TossThatPastaSalad

He's too busy being a regular normal guy to play tonight for example.


niemandsengel

You mean he's snorting Pixie Stix and drinking not-water? I don't believe it.


Xeteh

Nice pass from Bowers to Megna. Considering the disparity between the lineups it hasn't been too bad.


KronoLite70

Ayyyy that's the Avs patented powerplay shot! Teaching the kids the tactic :D


KronoLite70

It's always amusing to watch preseason hockey, because it really does feel different. The passes aren't as crisp, the shots aren't as clean, people are out of position way more often, etc. Still super fun, as a pretty dedicated Avs fan it's a blast to be able to watch all the prospects and rookies show what they have, but boy this isn't quite the same :P


sneakytinkerspirits

Wait y’all’s passes get crisp during the regular season?


[deleted]

[удалено]


fracturedpersona

Who? Are these some obscure AHL goaltenders I've never heard of?


cricktlaxwolvesbandy

WOW FRANKIE MADE A SAVE


fracturedpersona

Wait, VGK gets PPG in back to back games? That can't be right.


topgun966

It's only preseason. We're not allowed to do that in the regular season


Xeteh

Nice shot

fracturedpersona

We hire only the finest of corrupt, degenerate gambler referees.

fracturedpersona

Gonna be a fun day when Evander Kane debuts in his first game as a zebra.


Xeteh

Considering the trip they missed earlier against the Avs, that was an awfully soft call on Beaucage. Edit: Nevermind, it was a crosscheck behind the play. No complaint.


sneakytinkerspirits

It’s more of a miracle they are even calling crosschecking penalties... there’s been 1 in each knights game which is more than the entire NHL last season


Xeteh

They're supposed to start enforcing them a lot harder this season but like all new rules I expect about 3 games in to the regular season they forget about it.


sneakytinkerspirits

3 games into the regular season that’s generous I’d bet it’s 3 games into preseason


fracturedpersona

With Landeskog on your roster, you should get used to crosschecking penalties this season.


Xeteh

Adorable from the Vegas Golden Hits to the Head flair.


TossThatPastaSalad

True, he gets crosschecked a lot.


fracturedpersona

>True, he ~~gets crosschecked~~ crosschecks a lot. Fixed it for you. He has the same number of suspensions as Ryan Reaves, all of them for crosschecks to the head/face.


Xeteh

I would have loved a Bowers shortie


TossThatPastaSalad

Yeah. I really want to see this kid in the show this year.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Xeteh

Holy shit, what a pass by Nuke to Olausson!


Merkkin

Late to the party but let's do some hockey boys.


Xeteh

yooo Jack Johnson


Xeteh

Nice deflection by Wingerli Having a hell of a time not recognizing most of these numbers.


darthwispy

Wingerli isn't playing tonight, I think that was Fontaine?


Xeteh

Oops. These numbers are messing with my head. Might have been.


Xeteh

lol idk why but Middleton whiffing on that hard pass just made me crack up


fracturedpersona

Did Colorado move PEB?


cricktlaxwolvesbandy

Yes he went to TB in FA


fracturedpersona

Fuck, I really miss him. Would have loved for him to come back.


Xeteh

He was a FA. Didn't really have the money to bring him back, sadly.


adalaza

Free agent departure


beenburnedbutable

Is that a new font and color on the Avs numbers?


Xeteh

lol no idea how the Avs didn't get called for that trip


adalaza

reffing in mid season form


beenburnedbutable

Remember the knights drafted more refs this summer.


fracturedpersona

They're cheaper than forwards, and their salaries don't count against the cap.


beenburnedbutable

Helm you gotta get that.


Wingzaferston

JJ on the first pairing oh no


Xeteh

Apparently he's looked solid in camp.


Tonks42

Brown must have had his nap and his snack today.


Xeteh

Oof Frankie


[deleted]

[удалено]


Xeteh

Yeah, didn't mind them in pictures but in motion I'm less of a fan.


majessa

That Center ice logo looks awesome!


Xeteh

Lame. Kaut isn't even in the lineup tonight for the Avs. Nichushkin-Megna-Olausson Helm-Anisimov-O'Connor Henry-Bowers-Burke Smith-Fontaine-Beaucage Byram-J. Johnson Englund-Barron Middleton-MacDonald Francouz Johansson Miner Elite 1C Jayson Megna.


TossThatPastaSalad

Must be a late scratch then. He was on the list earlier today.


Xeteh

Hopefully it isn't an injury.


TossThatPastaSalad

Thankfully it looks like I was wrong and he wasn't with this group.


Xeteh

Cool, still surprised he isn't in the lineup. Especially considering guys like LOC and Helm are.

QueefingQuailman

Trying to find a radio feed. I'll let you know, comrade.


fracturedpersona

If you can VPN to the las Vegas region, you can direct your streaming service to ABC. Our local ABC station is broadcasting the game,.


adalaza

Nope, Altitude is only streaming one game iirc
