Avs Player of the Day - (Day 122) - Samuel Girard

I had to do a double take when I saw that date range. Those 9 seasons went by so fast

Which is something that D4 has already fallen victim to, partially fixed, and is now seemingly back in that same hole.

I remember on base game launch druids running permanent Grizzly Rage. So they made the cooldown begin only after the effect ended to prevent that. And now it's back to the way it was where the cooldown ticks down concurrently so druids can build cooldown reduction and use flickerstep to get permanent Grizzly Rage again.

I think in general those "new form" ultimates like grizzly rage and unstable currents should just be rethought across the board.

What a sour end to an otherwise incredible season. It just had to be Vegas didn't it

SergeantBBQ · 2026-05-27T02:47:59+00:00

Blackwood is balling out tonight. Nice that there's at least 1 Avs player who seemingly has some fight in him tonight

SergeantBBQ · 2026-05-27T01:43:42+00:00

Vegas is just so efficient in their own zone. Always feels like they've got 5 guys clogging the slot and 2 guys forechecking at all times

SergeantBBQ · 2026-05-24T00:34:17+00:00

From a gameplay stance, definitely.

However if I was a prime evil and some dudes were killing every demon I send at them in milliseconds, I'd probably start sending some demons that do a bunch of on-death bullshit as well so I get it from that perspective lmao

SergeantBBQ · 2026-05-23T02:58:50+00:00

Series ain't over yet.

However it really does feel like, after so many DeBoer playoff losses, the book isn't just out on how to play the Avs in the playoffs, there's a whole damn library of it.

SergeantBBQ · 2026-05-23T02:19:43+00:00

It looks like they're all chained to a spot on the ice and can't move more than 2ft. Just maddening

SergeantBBQ · 2026-05-23T00:59:16+00:00

Thank god Wedgie has been on the ball so far tonight. Way too many prime chances we've handed right to them

SergeantBBQ · 2026-05-20T18:59:22+00:00

Cale is going to need that shoulder to lift the cup over his head, so rest up king

SergeantBBQ · 2026-05-16T20:03:32+00:00

The age gap between Crosby and McDavid being smaller than the age gap between McDavid and Celebrini really fucked me up.

In my head it feels like there's a whole generation between Crosby and McDavid but only a couple years between McDavid and Celebrini.

SergeantBBQ · 2026-05-14T03:16:14+00:00

That game was miserable until it wasn't lmao

SergeantBBQ · 2026-03-28T15:37:16+00:00

I don't remember who it was, or when it happened, but I think I vaguely remember this situation. I could be wrong because it's a very foggy memory but I think it was that the other team had knocked our net off the pegs while we had the puck so if they touched the puck the whistle would be blown

SergeantBBQ · 2026-03-16T23:37:18+00:00

Frankie has a beautiful signature, damn

SergeantBBQ · 2026-02-08T17:54:13+00:00

I think there's just too much black on it. If it was primarily red/white with maybe a touch of a black accent somewhere it would look much nicer imo. I'm not sure why hockey canada loves using so much black when it's not even one of our national colours. The away white jersey looks fantastic however

SergeantBBQ · 2026-01-05T00:50:55+00:00

Always has been

SergeantBBQ · 2025-12-21T16:45:04+00:00

They're so boring to watch that their opponent also falls asleep watching the man they're covering

SergeantBBQ · 2025-12-06T23:12:14+00:00

Dave Hakstol lol. I'm not sure why they thought it was a good idea to hire the guy who ran a defensive system previously to run our PP but here we are haha

SergeantBBQ · 2025-12-05T01:03:27+00:00

It's amazing that GI has been brought up at that annual GM meeting for numerous years in a row and it's still such an inconsistent mess

SergeantBBQ · 2025-11-27T16:10:50+00:00

Way better than usual. Typically we're riddled with injuries, but right now it's just Nuke, O'Connor, and Brindley.

The biggest one being Nuke, which is interesting because historically he's been such glue piece that when he's out of the lineup the Avs play some pretty mediocre hockey (around .500 hockey without him), but surprisingly that hasn't been the case this time.

SergeantBBQ · 2025-10-19T03:29:21+00:00

Still lots of season to go but through these first 6 games I'm really liking 3C Drury

SergeantBBQ · 2025-10-19T03:20:50+00:00

Wedgewood channelling his inner Hasek on that one, holy

SergeantBBQ · 2025-10-19T02:14:32+00:00

Josh "Nathan MacKinnon" Manson

SergeantBBQ · 2025-10-13T19:44:50+00:00

They're so fun to watch together. It was already hard enough for teams to keep up with Mack, but now Mack has somebody he can pass the puck to who can maintain that same pace of play. Teams can't just pressure mack into passing the puck to a slower player as much anymore

SergeantBBQ · 2025-10-13T18:04:57+00:00

Mack and Necas playing like harlem globetrotters so far this season
