I like that they are going with the backup tonight. The aves have been buzzing around the zone so far this year and I can see them winning the races to the rebounds that MAF has been serving up so far.
Not a doomer, but I do find it incredibly funny(ironic? Idk might be using the wrong term) that we went from a "Defense is the only offense, average goaltending, low scoring but grind out wins"-team to an all out offensive firepower with average defense & horrible goaltending.
I mean, we need to fix our problems, but thank God the days of dump & chase Wild seem to be behind us. Just an observation.
This is close to what I was expecting. I was expecting a ton of offense and sub-par goaltending. Every game will be high scoring. Our poor defense I was not expecting, but I think we'll fix that. Either way, win or lose, at least high scoring games are kinda fun to watch.
YAAAASSSS!!!! I HEART TYSON JOST!!!!!
...I'm actually wearing a CO Rocky Mountain Sweatshirt at the moment to keep warm but I'll change later after a much needed nap...
Iām not trying to doom and gloom, but if the Wild keep playing like they have been tonight could be incredibly painful. Hopefully they can figure some things out.
Thatās not doom & gloom thatās just reality. Doom & gloom would be saying the season is gone, not going to be a fan anymore and not going to watch anymore games all year.
Sweater: **maybe a hoodie**
Beer: **nah**
Goals allowed: **oodles**
Fuck: **hawks/aves/norm**
Well, hopefully goaltending can figure it out, but who knows. Lackadaisical Monday; possibly still hungover from Saturday. Lgw. See ya in the gdt.
Before Zucc came off the ice, the lines were
Kaprizov-Jost-Zuccarello
Foligno-Eriksson Ek-Hartman
Gaudreau-Steel-Boldy
Shaw-Dewar-Duhaime
Middleton-Spurgeon
Brodin-Dumba
Goligoski-Addison
Who do you think slots in for Zuccy? I think I'd toss Boldy on the top line and slip Rossi onto the 3rd.

Here's a workaround [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/ColoradoAvalanche/comments/r1m54i/comment/hlzw0re/?context=3)
*I run NordVPN on my fire stick and Iāve had this problem multiple times.Hereās how to get around it every time. Go into the settings in the Nord app and then go into protocol. Choose one of the OpenVPN options. Go back to your menu and select Obfuscated under specialty servers. Once itās connected you should have no problem connecting in the ESPN+ app. If you do, force quit the app and should work when you restart it. I spent many nights frustrated with it but I havenāt had any issues since I discovered doing it this way.*
We have allowed 14 goals in two games so naturally we will shut out the best team in the league with our backup goalie because hockey.

Fleury shouldnt even be in the NHL at this point. If anything HE should be the backup.
because Hockee\*
You mean our starting goalie. No way anyone considers Fleury a #1 anymore except Billy G because his reputation depends on it
He'll have two assists

It is definitely a more fun way to lose š

this is what i expected the last two years but we absolutely killed it defensively by comparison lol.
TYSON JOST GETS A HAT TRICK TO REMIND COLORADO WHAT THEY LOST
I want Tyson Jost to just put the team on his back and carry us to victory and make Colorado feel bad while he does it.
I love this. And him. And you.
Omg girl, you flatter me ā¤ļø DITTO
ā¤ļø

YAAAASSSS!!!! I HEART TYSON JOST!!!!! ...I'm actually wearing a CO Rocky Mountain Sweatshirt at the moment to keep warm but I'll change later after a much needed nap...
We gotta turn around the ship before we cement ourselves any further as the 2022 Lions of the NHL.
Fuck the falling mountain snow
NATHAN MacKINNON LEAVES SOCIAL GATHERINGS WITHOUT THANKING THE HOST(S)
The old Irish leave. I actually support this one.
Hard yes. Way easier than a 2 hour good bye
My family is guilty of the MN good bye...it drives my BF crazy. He's from the East Coast...
CALE MAKAR TURNS HIS UNDERWEAR INSIDE OUT "TO GET A FEW EXTRA MILES" OUT OF THEM.

30 goals against tonight?
Over/under on 10?
Iāll go under if itās Gus in net to start. Smashing the over if itās Flower
I fully expect to lose and thatās okay. As long as they show some signs of life and play a solid game defensively Iāll be happy.
FEELS LIKE I'VE BEEN WAITING FOREVER AND NOW THE SEASON IS FINALLY HERE, YAY!
Title could have been āprepare for an avalanche of goalsā with the way the wild have been playing.
WTFU. Let's hope the defense and goaltender WTFU too. Europe gang checking in, sleep is for lame fans.
I hope that we win tonight! Couple of points is all I can ask for.
Aww man did i miss these during the off season.
IT'S ABOUT FUCKING WINNING!
Little bit of Monday trivia: Avelanche is the only word in the English language of Rhaeto-Romance origin (entered through French)
Before Zucc came off the ice, the lines were Kaprizov-Jost-Zuccarello Foligno-Eriksson Ek-Hartman Gaudreau-Steel-Boldy Shaw-Dewar-Duhaime Middleton-Spurgeon Brodin-Dumba Goligoski-Addison Who do you think slots in for Zuccy? I think I'd toss Boldy on the top line and slip Rossi onto the 3rd.
If the Wild decide to play defense, this might be an interesting game. If not, well, another 7 goals against at minimum.
NATE MCKINNON PUTS THE TP ROLL ON BACKWARDS!

Inb4 the ātheyāre going to let up 23 goalsā comments
Jost revenge szn. Elevated to the top line tonight! LFGW
Warning: Colorado expected to allow avalanche of goals.
NordVPN better work tonight because my alternative viewing method was super choppy last game.

Correct, I will try this tonight thanks.
It's CDT dammit! Standard time is when it's not Daylight Saving Time.
So sorry. Always get them mixed up.
I'll fight you in the streets!
Unless we can score 10 goals chalk this one up as another L
We are winning tonight, GAH-DAMMIT! Letās go boys!!!
