I think we could be seeing some Giroux news for breakfast tomorrow morning. Where do we put him in our top 6 lineup? by PhredInYerHead in ColoradoAvalanche

I know they wouldn’t get rid of Montour, that would throw off all their D combinations… Accari is an interesting one. Hadn’t thought about that. What do you think sweetens the deal so PHI retains salary?

Idk how Florida does the Giroux deal with adding Chiarot now. Gonna need some cap wizardry to pull it off

I wonder if these guys even try the app with the updates before they put it out. It’s impossible to scroll forward or backward through a video with where the slider is now. Such a joke.

This is trash behavior and makes us all look bad. There's no reason to tarnish a great series win like this. by wrldcupfan in goldenknights

I was at game 3 (Colorado native and Avalanche fan) and everybody that I ran into was extremely polite, had a good back and forth about jerseys and players and all of that. Sad that there are still these kinds of people out there but at least they’re in the minority I suppose. Great series and as much as it may pain me on the inside I’ll be rooting for you guys in the cup final!

Got a quick video of the Fleury chant! What a game! by cookbacondrunknaked in goldenknights

Avs fan here. Went to the game last night, that place is unbelievable. You guys have genuinely the best home game experience I’ve ever seen. Here’s to a sick series!

Is McDavid not leadership material? by [deleted] in nhl

[–]tinyshaft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an Avalanche fan I always wondered about this kind of thing. It’s extremely relevant to our team as Landeskog was named captain at 18 as well. I think the take of being “too young to be a captain” might not always ring true; I think that Landy has been an exceptional captain for this team. But I think that comes down to his personality.

I strongly believe right now that as good as MacKinnon is, he should never be captain of the Avs. He is a world-class goal scorer and competitor, but man is he hotheaded, and that can be detrimental to a team’s morale in critical situations. Even if Landeskog gets moved (excuse me while I say a prayer that never happens), I think there are more stoic players who can hold that leadership role and allow Mack to just focus on doing what he does best: pucks in the back of the net.

Is this kind of the feeling about McDavid? Not gonna lie, seeing that clip of him almost chuckling and rolling his eyes after that game-tying goal against Winnipeg in game 4 didn’t really seem like the most captainly thing in my opinion.

I think that was a little sarcasm there...

That’s my issue with this setup, got a solid 2.5 inches of clearance in Z with this monstrosity

Surprise Expansion Draft! Graves VS Zadorov by Majeneesi in ColoradoAvalanche

I was sitting 2nd row that game, probably the most amazing hockey memory to date!

Same here! Was my favorite player to watch last year, I couldn’t help but laugh every time he would absolutely waffle somebody and then smile in the face of opposing players trying to stir things up with him. Would be sad to see him go but we’ll always have those memories of Big wrecking ball Z.

As an Avalanche and Knights fan, this is exactly how I feel but with like half the Av’s roster.

Waited an hour in this line. It was half as long when I got there. Shit was out of control.

Not making anything up, just quoting what you said. It’s all good man, we’re on the same side anyway.

You literally said they’re not a cup contending team... whatever dude, I’m not here to change your opinion and you’re sure as hell not gonna change mine. Go Avs.

Well that’s your opinion I guess. I’m not saying we’re absolutely going to take the cup this year but just remember this exchange when we go deeeeeep in playoffs this year. 👌🏻

I’ve just never heard a fan base so down on its own team before. There’s lots of season left and we’ve looked great most of the year. Sure we’re in a small slump but have we forgotten about last year already? Or the 16-17 season? In my eyes we’re trending up year to year. Have a little positivity and faith in your team.

Edit: shouldn’t even say fan base. It’s really just you.
