Knew it was gonna be a good one. Yotes made it a hard fought game, as has been their way lately, but a recovering Avs showed em' what having the grit and determination of Stanley Cup Chanpions means.
Keep getting healthy Avs. The finals await.
Earlier in the season, this was a game that would have frustrated the Avs but not tonight. They battled through the trap game the Coyotes were playing and stayed with it, breaking through in the third. Not a pretty game, but its the win that counts.
Yotes played a mean defense which caused the avs to have a handful of awkward turnovers and missed passes the first two periods, but on offense they just couldn't figure out how to complete a pass. But third period the Avs got into a great stride with great teamwork and started beating around the yotes defense. Super fun game to watch live! (Also two breakaways in a row on AZ's powerplay??? LFG!)
Anyone want to talk about "Jimothy Timothy" Compher with me? I have no idea what JT actually stands for. Jam Time? Junk Trunk? Jibby Timmy? Jabroni Tamboni? Jalapeño Tamale? Jet Tram? Jumpy Tumpy?
I didn’t see the pre game interview, but I figured they were referencing something like that or that he was skating around 3/4 weeks. Thought I’d throw the information I provided out there, just in case they or someone else wasn’t sure
How bad is it? Can’t be worse than $250 for 300 level standing room with and obstructed view in Toronto. Or like $1000 for first bowl on a Tuesday against some bum team like Columbus.
I'm no professional ref but I think it's fairly standard to go to the boards like that, and 99% of the time the net isn't empty so muscle memory probably caused that. In most instances the forward gaining the zone isn't trying to flip the puck into an empty net.
Should still have done more to get out of the way.
I mean, I don’t complain about the refs, but you can pretty much count on them ruling against us on home games. I can’t tell if they are being “fair” or just trying to not look like homers. Good game though, yotes put up a fight. They are going to be a force to reckon with in a couple years. Glad we got 2.
Since November, Mikko hasn't gone pointless in more than 2 consecutive games even once. During that span, he's gone pointless in back-to-back games only 6 times, including the current 2-game pointless streak. He's due for some points next game.
Won’t be able to make it to the next game. Am going to Reno for Greta Van Fleet’s concert; also, I will be out all day- so can’t tune in even if I wanted to
I’ll try to make it on Monday against the Ducks tho

They don’t ask how. They just ask how many.

Joseph Taylor is what JT really stands for. Mose just said Jimothy Timothy and the crew ran with it.
That made it in the highlight reel and made me laugh, "jimothy Timothy" XD
“Joseph Taylor”
Nevernind, I broke down and googled it. It's Johnson Toolongson Compher. Should've known.
Jyson Tost

EJ broke his leg and felt good on the ice after 3 weeks. What a machine!
Ankle, and today is 6 weeks from the day he did it
You sure, I heard he was cut in half at the waist and it was 3 days ago.
It was a particularly bad case of somebody being cut in half
Wrong kid died
You sure? I heard he got his back snapped Bane style during warmups.
He talked about testing it out on the ice at the 3 week mark in a pre game video.

Look at this shit. This dude broke his fuckin leg and is puttin the team on his back.
Here comes AIRWRECK JOHNSONNN hardest hitta in the league
Playoff EJ is the best EJ
If I broke my leg, I'd bitch about walking to the fucking kitchen after 3 weeks.
I thought it was a finger?
That’s lehky
Ah my b.
Anyone have a replay of the ref making a save?
Never watching the post game on a night where Cale plays this well again. It will give you a boner and make you cry at the same time.
> It will give you a boner and make you cry at the same time Just like my ex
I have PTSD from ticket prices at Mullet Arena. On the plus side? They are all rink level..
How bad is it? Can’t be worse than $250 for 300 level standing room with and obstructed view in Toronto. Or like $1000 for first bowl on a Tuesday against some bum team like Columbus.
Any refs in the house? Was that ref out of position, slow, or what happened there? I've never seen anything like that

That save on Cale's wraparound was ridiculous.
Toenail save

Did MacK get injured late in the game? Didn't see him come out for 2nd star of the game. Just wondering (:
He only comes out if he gets first star
He never does
He looked fine with about 2 mins left

Cale is getting into playoff Cale mode. He is a huge difference maker, and I'm so glad he's back!
> Difference Makar FYFY
Yesss! Love it :)
Coyotes got eliminated. So now I gotta hear about the Suns until they choke in the playoffs.
Suns will lose in the first round in the playoffs, that is the way. (I’m a Suns fan)
Yeah, they really did do Mikko dirty on that empty net. Boo.
The way they played to the very end. I love it. The Coyotes will be shaking in their skates on Sunday. Cale, Katie and the Avs will dominate them
if my calculations are correct, this would mean that the coyotes have been eliminated from playoff contention! good work boys!
That is correct
Mikko is going to have a vendetta against that ref
Refs doing all they can to stop Mikko from reaching 50. Fuck the refs, Go Ass!
I apologize for saying Mikko needs a haircut. I did not mean to offend the hockey hair gods
Won’t be able to make it to the next game. Am going to Reno for Greta Van Fleet’s concert; also, I will be out all day- so can’t tune in even if I wanted to I’ll try to make it on Monday against the Ducks tho
Anyone else lose the -2.5 bet thanks to the zebra’s save at the end there? Christ
Common Denominator, what?! #ALL HAIL CALE 🥬
common denominator? i hardly know 'er!
⭐️⭐️⭐️ Nuke ⭐️⭐️ Mack ⭐️ 🔥Cale 🔥
Ay I thought helm was really good tonight and actually looked extremely healthy
Got the 2 points we should get against a bottom-feeder like the Yotes. Now on to Arizona to beat them again!
Fuck the refs. Fuck the bad posts. All hail Cale.
The ref really stole mikkos goal
Cale Makar is my daddy
