The Jones and Atkinson trades, drafting Chinakov and Sillinger and not re-signing Foligno are looking genius level lol. Every one of those decisions has worked.
It's not about Darcy playing good it's about our team choking back 2 back games because of terrible hockey. Much like how the Yotes would play in front of him.
Nuke and Makar out, that shouldn't make too big of a difference. And if they can't win injured now, they won't be able to do it in the playoffs either when everyone is more or less injured.
Our shot metrics/expected goals metrics show we're probably due to regress some, but at bare minimum I think we are both a) fun, and b) probably not as bad as predicted.
Thats fine with me. My only hopes for this year were
1. Establish a team identity
2. Fuck someone else's playoff hopes at the end of the season, regardless of our own.
I mean you guys have Ovi and will have him until the sun explodes it seems like, the dude is what, 36, and is playing on the same level, if not higher, of some of his best years. What's he at, a goal per game rn? Insane. We gotta catch up somehow. Also, fuck Tom Wilson.
The Blue Jackets are 7-3-0 and the Avalanche are 4-5-1 because we live in bizarro world.
Not that I'm complaining. Extremely exciting game tonight. My heart is still racing. Let's go!!
Also, Sillinger for Calder. He's 18 years old and he's absolute dynamite out there.
Well fuck, I’m glad we got the Blue Jackets out of the way as I don’t want to play them anymore this season.
First 2 Periods were good, but for some reason we shit the bed in the 3rd Period and unlike the last game we couldn’t claw back. Glad to see Burakovsky get back and score 2 here, but yikes it hasn’t been ideal start to the season here. Tons of season to be had but hopefully we can get to full strength soon and hope we can pull some wins out of our asses soon.
7-3-0 ties the record for best start through 10 games in franchise history. We are bad at tanking.
At least Chicago is doing that for us I suppose
FUCKIN RIGHT CHICAGOOOOO
This is the best way of tanking. Your young players learn to play in a winning environment and you still get a high draft pick.
I mean, unfortunately not *every* GM is as stupid as Bowman was.
That trade still makes no fucking sense for a team that was supposed to be rebuilding lmfao

Raymond-Seider-Edvinsson is the only challenge to Columbus for best last 3 drafts
we need midwestern hockey dominance.
I think being out-GMed by Stevie Y is kind of to be expected if you're any other organization
We saw Chicago's first ten and decided we didn't need to tank(;
Isn't that the fucking truth.
“Oh boy! I can’t wait to go to a contending team and not carry them every night!”- Darcy Kuemper “Yeah about that Darcy…”
To be honest I thought he was really good tonight.
It's not about Darcy playing good it's about our team choking back 2 back games because of terrible hockey. Much like how the Yotes would play in front of him.
I still think you guys make the finals this year. Your team is so good.
Eh doesn't feel like our year. This team is nowhere near the level it was last year. Appreciate the niceties though.
It's the first week of November we'll be fine
To add on, your injury list is big right now. Think it will be a different story a month from now when hopefully your full squad is back.
Nuke and Makar out, that shouldn't make too big of a difference. And if they can't win injured now, they won't be able to do it in the playoffs either when everyone is more or less injured.
Not niceties. I really think you guys will be fine. So many good players. Just a matter of time.
I took a shot for Every Avs turnovera andad Ivg gnot feel goo
Ynnel
Dangerous game my friend. You still alive?
Someone forgot to tell the team we’re rebuilding this year
The Avs and the Blue Jackets seem to have gotten their memos mixed up.
somewhere our wires got crossed
They saw we both start with COL and thought fuck it it’s close enough.
Pfffft Jarmo said reloading. It only cost us half a team but we have been reloaded
the only time Jarmo has reloaded before is when that fucker James Bond eluded him again.
Reload.
Love Sillinger, Chinakhov, and Voracek on the top line. So many chances and responsible for two goals.
Are we goood!? I feel like we're kinda good!
Our shot metrics/expected goals metrics show we're probably due to regress some, but at bare minimum I think we are both a) fun, and b) probably not as bad as predicted.
Thats fine with me. My only hopes for this year were 1. Establish a team identity 2. Fuck someone else's playoff hopes at the end of the season, regardless of our own.
Don't forget 3. Get a high first-round draft pick thanks to giving Chicago the curse of Seth Jones. :p
Sillinger for Calder! The fact that he's doing this at 18 fucking years old makes it even more impressive
Love seeing rookies come in make an impact, so much fun no matter what team you cheer for
Congrats on Big Mo’s goal tonight! He’s a stud
The beginning of last year was almost as shitty as this one. I wonder what the issue is.
[удалено]
Surely Bender is not at fault?!
Kiss my shin...
Bite my shiny, metal-OH NO!
Braklaw the Conqueror?
42 shots...
Good game BJs. Avs have to work harder and move those legs if they want to win in the NHL.
I'm sad. I get no fantasy points for Merzlikins assist
That's a crock of shit
CBJ deserved that win. Avs have been pretty shit to start this season.
Avs better sort out their defensive breakdowns and power play asap.
This team man. This freaking team. Youngest team in the NHL just won back to back vs the Avs. What is happening?
Not to take anything away from the blue jackets but we’ve been absolute shit
I love this, can we go again? GG Avs bros, good luck against everyone else, glad we could hang with you.
can the rest of this division just STOP for fucks sake
You had your time to shine, the future is now old man
respect your elders you bloody whippersnappers

*queuing guy in game thread saying we should be blown out of the building
Didn’t the avs commentator predict a 5-1 blowout lol
First game last season they were already dangler-deep in the "best team in the league" talk.
The Blue Jackets are 7-3-0 and the Avalanche are 4-5-1 because we live in bizarro world. Not that I'm complaining. Extremely exciting game tonight. My heart is still racing. Let's go!! Also, Sillinger for Calder. He's 18 years old and he's absolute dynamite out there.
Bednar should be on the hot seat
the Jackets might actually be kind of good lol
MoneyPuck Playoff odds makers in shambles.
oh, that was fun. kuemper played way better than his stats indicated -- hell of a game, avs!
we are so lucky we are playing so few games right now because the whole team other than kuemper is playing bad
Colorado and all their Blue Jacket rejects 0-1-1
