me too.. it looked like we were on the PK today, but we were actually on the PP.. how is that possible?!
That 5-3 PP Kill was awesome tonight! Got me nervous, and then we go up 3-1 right after! Keep this up avs! Close this out!
Not sure where our D went, Avs giving up 11+ goals in the last 3 games. Ends up being a 3 game losing streak with Chicago up next.
Nabokov being out for a while (groin) could be a good thing. Either poulin will run with the job or snow will have to make a move for a goalie who doesn't suck. Isles did manage to beat the wings last night because John Tavares is freaking awesome. Contributions from young players like Brock Nelson and Casey Czikas always help as well.
awww yeah Steve Mason. The offense is showing up. The team is showing up. I don't care if Hall's goal was an empty netter. Woo!
Kings decimated Tampa Bay tonight. The West is just a different level of hockey than The East, currently. No disrespect to the east coasters intended.
East: 0 teams with 30+ points West: 8 teams with 30+ points avs are tied for 3rd with 30 points. It's crazy how much better the west is.
It was awesome, arena was 3/4 full, but the Avs never trailed so the crowd was in it. I'm going again when I get free tickets....lol Ours cost 71.00, but we got them free from Fed ex. We were close enough to watch the puck...that made a difference.
After the month long crapfest the islanders lay down they seem to have found their groove Again. We've beaten boston, chicago, anaheim in the last two weeks. Okposo is playing out of his mind
islanders on a roll. destroy dallas 7-3. tavares notches a hat trick and rookie phenom ryan strome gets his first goal. playing really good right now. keep it going isles!!!!!!!
Nabby out for a while, reinjured his groin. You know Andy Mac is playing really well as well. Visnovsky has disappeared off the face of the Earth after his concussion. Theyre going to have to make a tough decision after this year on MacDonald. I know we have a crapton of D prospects but hes a good player, miscast as a top pairing guy right now. Someone will give him 4M per as a 2nd pairing D and be happy with him.
Can you really be a rookie phenom after a first goal? Not sure why the Eastern half of the hockey world is even still playing...
Strome is one of the best rated prospects in the league and he lead the WJCHL or whatever in scoring last year and was leading this year until his call up. Hes legit.
he's a top prospect. the guy dominated lower levels. he started off kind of tentative but every game he's been getting more aggressive and finally broke his cherry tonight. as for the east, they have been playing better the last month. that gap that started at the beginning of the season has shrunk a bit. still think the west is better overall but its not as great as it was in november. plus the isles are going through the west like a hot knife on butter the last two weeks
not sure what happened to vis. maybe career ending? another young player that has been playing great is DeHaan (sp) Really think we got a future rock on the defense in him. MacDonald is weird. He was horrible early in the year but playing better of late. Martin is leading the league in hits lol. I'm really digging the makeup of this team
