Official Discussion Thread - Round 1 - Colorado Avalanche vs. Minnesota Wild

The Avalanche still, and always will "Rubs Oil on itself". Fans live in caves. Cannot possibly cheer for them even if they play Pittsburgh or Montreal.

I cannot have this team competitive in my World, so I will ignore them.

Still mad at Claude Lemieux?!?

Never was mad at Claude Lemieux. Claude never lost a fight in his first 8 years in the NHL. He was the Wilf Paiement of the young Habs.

This Avs team is amazing! I'm hoping they don't waste the amazing comeback and get this overtime win!

I seriously don't know what you're talking about, but I'm biased, but so are you.

Ill look for a clip tomorrow. It was your power play in the 2nd or 3rd. You didn't score on it, but you scored right after. Puck wouldn't have been in our zone if the hook wasn't called. I'll look for it tomorrow. Regardless, great back and forth game, even if the bad guys came out on top

2 son's of former NHL players score OT winners! Steen/Stastny...Go Av's!

Another great game - Roy made the gut call taking out Varlamov pretty early and it ultimately paid off with the tying goal.

Minnesota just took their foot off the gas. They neglected to fore-check on every shift of the 3rd period except one. You cannot lay back in the league. An open door is an invitation to win the game.

Sharks did the same thing. They got the puck in deep and annoyed the Kings to death, then the 3rd period arrives and they stopped doing that.

Why is it human nature to embrace Sloth?

[RGM81]

It's as though there's a little bit of Jacques Martin in all of us. Worst coach ever with a one-goal lead.
