Why am I seeing fans turning on Bednar already. Come on. The dudes done nothing but win here. This team has gone through hell this season. Bednar is a phenomenal coach.
LOC is one of the best Avs stories throughout his career. Dude worked his ass off to just make it to the NHL and now he’s a legit bottom 6 stud who can hang in the top 6.
Of course I want to see the Avs win. Of course I’d like them to repeat. But if they lose tonight, I won’t be mad. This season has been exhausting and the fact that they’ve done what they have despite everything Is amazing. A long offseason to reset for everyone just might be it.
Man I’m sticking to my opinion. We should have kept Kadri. Hes a true 2C and his numbers would still be high end 2C numbers here. I don’t see him falling off a cliff either. Hes smart with a good shot.
I don’t want to ever see a “fire Bednar” tweet again. Dudes a phenomenal coach who brings out the very best in every player. Sakic and Bednar have built and coached up the most exciting team to watch in all of sports atm.

Yeah. This is when she got bitten. This episode is the story from the DLC between Ellie and her best friend sneaking into a mall.
Swept by a back up goalie. Just accept your loss, Reggie and move on. You still have plenty more eliminations ahead for you to look forward to. I’m sure there will be even more conspiracy’s as to why the Oilers are always robbed and never just lose to a better team.
My Avs hot take for this season is still that I think Ross Colton steals the 2C job from RyJo. I think Colton is going to find another level to his game in Bednars system.
Peter Forsberg is who got me interested in hockey as a kid and will always be my favorite player, but Mackinnon is so damn special. If I was able to get a picture with both of them together, my hockey heart would melt.

He was fighting back tears big time during that video. Awesome to see the emotions of the players accomplishing something they’re so passionate about.
Mackinnon, McDavid and Kucherov are all amazing. Quit trying to put one down to make yourself feel better about your favorite and just enjoy and respect greatness. These guys put on a show every game. Just enjoy the fact you’re able to witness this level of talent.
What’s up with all these “top 10 centers” lists that intentionally disrespect MacKinnon? Bro, your brain has to be mashed potatoes to put him not even in the top 5. The dude is the 2nd best player in the NHL.
Even if Landy isn’t ready at the start of the playoffs, we’re still getting Makar, Manson and Lehkonen back. That’s three pretty important players we’re missing tonight. Avs twitter needs to relax every once in awhile.
Andrew Cogliano is an amazing specimen. The dudes ripped up like Rambo and is basically a Honey Badger who never gets hurt, and when he does suffer a serious injury (I thought the neck injury was for sure career ending) the dude just heals like it’s no big deal. Incredible.
The Avs don’t need a 1A. They need a competent back up that can push Georgiev and actually start more than one game a month. You know, like a Franky. Remember, Georgiev played tremendously better when Franky was healthy.
No matter what they do in the playoffs, the fact that the Avs won the Central despite all the injuries and adversity surrounding Landy the year after they won the cup is quite impressive.
I really don’t understand the “we can’t lose Toews for nothing, we need to trade him” crowd. We have the best chance to win a cup with Toews being our own rental. Losing him to a second cup is better than any draft picks
One year ago today I watched the team I’ve loved since the late 90’s finally do the thing for the first time since they won the cup in 2001 on my 11th birthday. I stuck through the hard times and the payoff and joy I felt was so good and the memory will stay with me forever.
McDavid is a Special talent and the best point producer in the game. That being said, I’d still take MacKinnon over him any day. Mack’s ultra competitiveness, physicality and power to go along with his elite speed and skill is unmatched.
When healthy, Franky was arguably the Avs best back up ever and one of the best in the league. I still think he could have been a starter if it wasn’t for the injuries. If he does retire, at least he got his cup and swept the Oilers to leave his mark. A fan favorite for sure.
Hope Landy has a full recovery and is ready for the 24/25 season. Time to spend his cap on a top six winger and trade for Schmaltz or Lindholm. Or Crosby 🫠
No Nuke, no Makar, no bottom six scoring whatsoever. Were going to need an angry possessed Mackinnon performance and a no fucks given Byram playing with all the swagger.
Before the trade deadline, Alex Tuch had some really high praise for former teammate Casey Mittelstadt 🎙️
“His ability to carry a game, I don’t think he really understands it. … He sees the game like nobody else.”

Damn, Canadian teams fans really love the “refs” excuse. Some of their fans look like they’ve been on a dry spell longer than their teams have been on a cupless spell.
Now I see some Tampa fans trying to rip on the Avs parade to make themselves feel better. We get it, the boat parades were cool, but you don’t have to attack other fan bases because you’re a miserable person who has access to Twitter.
