DeBoer already said Faksa is in tonight

dammit. was hoping toews still had the trots.

 

[roryjones]

No Hintz means the duchene line needs to show up.

 

[Kcb12345]

I'm expecting the Avs to really try and jump on us early. Would guess MacKinnon/Makar play at a minimum half each period and probably like 7 of the first 10 minutes of the game. They are gonna go all out for that first goal

Bednar just mentioned that their ice time limit "goes out the window" tonight

Georgiev letting in an early stinker would be the cherry on top of the shit sundae that has been the Avs' series

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Home game spanking would go nice, I love when the AAC gets super hyped and we score multiple goals in a short time. Man that would feel nice tonight.

So 26-28min per game is “limiting their ice time”. Seems about right

Robertson and Duchene have played well but haven't scored this series. Time for them to get on the board.

I think they will.

imo duchene has been a little disappointing. puck seems to be falling off of his stick and he seems indecisive. hopefully he gets comfortable and starts producing.

 

[Smelling Salt]

Agreed. Weathering the early storm tonight is key. Please no stupid/silly penalties to hang themselves with

I hope the Avs do that and shots are 20-0 in the first ten minutes with a 0-0 score. Then first time the Stars get a chance they rush the other way and score.

Just limit the high danger chances.

Jake is a goalie who loves volume, gets him in a rhythm. So no issue with him facing 12 to 15 shots, stars job is to make sure its shots from distance or no screens.

If Jake gets into this one early can really put them on back foot

Do you know what happens to a toad when it gets struck by lightning? Same thing that happens to everything else.

 

[roryjones]

Would be nice to see Dallas blow them out tonight. Hope the Avs look like last game. They almost looked dead in the 3rd.

 

[Azzuri]

Duch and Pavs to the top line is a choice.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Chirp chirp chirping on the main boards tonight boys.

 

[roryjones]

Duch and Pavs to the top line is a choice.

Gross.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Is it the top line because you saw it listed that way on Twitter?

 

[Troy McClure]

I guess I like having the best skating center playing with Pavelski.

How do you weather an avalanche

Even our medium-small star has a surface temp of 10,000 degrees, so I've gotta think it would be easy work for most "luminous spheroids of plasma held together by self-gravity" to melt the thing away in a few minutes.

Just heard that tonight could be the last game of Zach Parise's career and was going to make a smug comment about revenge for 2000. But it turns out he wasn't there. And that he played many more years for MIN than for NJD. And that I don't dislike the guy at all, he's an unbelievable player with a great career. I need to update my Modano-era hockey hatreds.

I'll do that later tho. Fellas? Handshakes tonight. 5-2.

 

[Satan]

Fellas

 

[roryjones]

Let’s have a handshake line tonight.

 

[redbeardtx]

Ah shit, Tanev down early
