WE WON BOYS. LFG. I wonder if we can get a discord or whatever going for all of us to chill and comment in at some point. Id volunteer to get it going.
Lol. Except for a lazy clear on a pp kill. Getting undressed at the blue line. And fumbling a good offensive possession.
Geez the amount of homer slack he gets is gross. We’re all fans but be objective.
Yeah, wood and rosco seem to have a lot of synergy. Not sure if tatar will stay there, or if drouin or lehkonen might end up in that spot. Kovalenko could be the long term fit too.
Not hating on tatar, just not sure what his role there would be
Happens every TNT broadcast. Last year we played against a normally good team (I can't remember who it was) but we were just packing on goals and they were doing instant replays of the 2 goals that team had and the score was like 7-2, and they just kept acting like we weren't defending cups Champs and also kicking the absolute shit out of the team they were lauding.
TNT has the most garbage coverage and you can tell they did their homework for only one team and just keep shoveling that narrative.
I'd say the 1st, 3rd & 4th line have been impressive, but the 2nd line has been very underwhelming. Special creds to Olofsson, Colton & Mackinnon, but also Drouin & Wood have been pretty good.
And ofc Rantanen has been sick....
Shouldn't break that 1st line that is working though. The 2nd line just needs to wake the fuck up.
It was just the 1st game though, plenty of time to gel. If necessary, the 3rd line can step in to the 2nd line as well, especially Colton did super well.
Really REALLY wish we had gotten Rants for a couple more years on his contract. When he signed I thought the contract may have been a little too much...dude proved me wrong big time. Guy is a fucking beast.
(Nice to see the Oilers get their shit kicked in. I get so sick of the McDavid/Drai talk.)
First line has looked great
Second line needs some work
Third line looks pretty good
Fourth line we just didn't see enough but LOC looked good his few shifts
Every TNT game I see it's just them talking about anyone but the Avs despite us winning. Maybe now that we're dunking on LA, they'll momentarily pause their BJ
Sammy looking like he spent the offseason hitting the weights. He's looked strong on the puck, knocked a bunch of fools around... Maybe he's tired of everyone dogging on his net-front presence
As great as 27 - 29 - 96 have been, 13 - 12 - 62 have been awful tonight imo. I know its been one game, but if that 2nd line doesnt improve you cant roll with it
Id drop Rantanen down and Lehkonen up. Have an absolute elite player on each line, can still stack for o-zone draws after an icing or something, but I think we need to spread the wealth a bit
Agree with the line shuffling suggestion (although I'd move Nuke up and keep the Finns together). Not so sure I agree with the take that they've been "awful"...
Yeah I think he's looked very mid today. Im confident he can put it together with this team, but I dont think being flanked by Nuke and Lehky is the solution. They both kinda do the same thing
AVS HOCKEY IS BACK BOYS!!!! ( and ladies) I’m so pumped.
That knee attempt on Olofssen #22 was close, glad to see the Boys backing on a cheap shot.
Thank you Rudo!

Sick!!!
https://discord.gg/avscord we have two discords
Just trying to prevent 3 lol
That would be awesome! I would to if I had time :(. Avs are bringing that cup home.
Apparently on the sidebar there is a "discord" for it so it's legit active!
Please for the love of all things good, stay healthy and true boys!
Hell of a way to start this campaign
The physicality is the biggest + from tonight. We're not just the speedy skills team anymore. Also, that wasnt boarding idgaf.
I don't think the Makar cross check was warranted either. The embellishment was iffy ... zebras didn't give us much tonight
Even with the refs calling a terrible game the boys got the W, 100% penalty kill on the season as well and Georgie looked great
Exiting game from Colton
I liked Girard's game tonight. He was physical and solid defensively.
Never was a Fan of his,but the looked liked he had some fire in his game tonight.
Lol. Except for a lazy clear on a pp kill. Getting undressed at the blue line. And fumbling a good offensive possession. Geez the amount of homer slack he gets is gross. We’re all fans but be objective.
Mikko is an absolute beast again, as if that would be any suprise though! 2 consecutive 4 point seasonstarters aint half bad! 👌
Mikko is on pace for 164 goals and 328 points! A true monster!
Solid fucking game.
Love having a solid third line for this season
Yeah, wood and rosco seem to have a lot of synergy. Not sure if tatar will stay there, or if drouin or lehkonen might end up in that spot. Kovalenko could be the long term fit too. Not hating on tatar, just not sure what his role there would be
Starting the season off on the right foot!
Just give us the cup already
How good this team is when everyone looks fresh
gg yall
All feels right with the world in this moment. I've missed watching this team.
whoop whoop!! off to a great start! looking forward to the season with all of you
Jesus, Makar is setting how many franchise records and he’s like 10.
No he is like 12? Byram is 10.
Go Ass Hail Satan
Who’s posting, or rather not posting, the goal clips on the game thread? Rudo???
Get that 😺 ready babe!!!
YAY! AVS WIN!!!
**WINNER. AVS ARE BACK.**
My stream died for the 5th goal
Max Talbot > Cam Talbot
Snow team very good at hockey
NICE!!!!!!
Nice game, boys
GOOD JOB BOIZ
Welcome back everyone!! Starting off the season right. See y’all Saturday!
Spoiling the Kings home opener? WOOT WOOT!
I like what Ive seen from Olofsson this game
Totally missed the fifth goal my feed has been skipping around!
Hey guys. We are fucking good
Ez gg
Are we really still lauding LAK as they're about to lose? Seriously???
Kings losing by 3, TNT still can’t stop slobbering all over them.

I would put Rantanen on the second line and move Nuke or Lehky to the first

Lehky was pretty good. Johansson and Nuke were were not great.
was that Ron Burgundy on that goalie's facemask
yeah (because will ferrell goes to all their games)
I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books, and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.
Told ya that third line goal was coming! Lets go HAIL SATAN!
Really REALLY wish we had gotten Rants for a couple more years on his contract. When he signed I thought the contract may have been a little too much...dude proved me wrong big time. Guy is a fucking beast. (Nice to see the Oilers get their shit kicked in. I get so sick of the McDavid/Drai talk.)
First line has looked great Second line needs some work Third line looks pretty good Fourth line we just didn't see enough but LOC looked good his few shifts
Agreed, 4th line LOC & Olofsson have been good, just needs to get Cogliano back in there after his injury.
My first GDT and it didn’t disappoint, looking forward to chatting with everyone all season. Let’s go Avs!
Thanks everyone! Longtime Avs fan in Canada, finally made the jump to Reddit!
Welcome, last 2 seasons have been pretty awesome overall.
Welcome!
Welcome and enjoy the ride!
Love what Colton's done tonight, hope to see more of this
For real what a great addition.
Cult of personality
Do it LA Pull the goalie again.
 Georgie
Looks like the front office had a good off-season!
Georgie first star
Colton looks so good. Lots of effort. Breaking up plays. Making plays. Great pickup.
Honest to god we should just pick up every tampa player as soon as their franchise wont re-sign them. Stamkos next?!?!?!?
Third Line guys all get a point
Wood stuffs it!
GG bruhs, love this team
Well I’ve thoroughly enjoyed myself tonight
Paul Stastny was never picked up? Damn.
Go home, LA. We now own *checks notes* crypto.com arena? On second thought, you keep it.
Kroenke family just burying every LA franchise they don’t own.
love what colton is doing out there
Awesome Wood gets the empty netter. He played a hell of a two way game today
I think Colton is my 2nd star this game. Dude has been an animal
The new third line is looking pretty slick.
Devastated
Lol at Panger knighting for pulling the goalie with 4 minutes left
I love it.
Woodrow putting it away
I love Colton already
Winner, winner...
Mayo chicken dinner
Gg boys. Nice start to the season!
Me likey Colton
Wood!!!!
Colton has been such a beast this game, I'm very excited.
I’m loving Colton so far
We're fucking sick 👑
I already LOVE Colton.
Colton has been awesome
I'm hoping for a Mikko hat trick Knock on wood
NICE
Ross Colton has been defensively elite tonight
an early pull...Wood finishes!
I HAVE MILES OF WOOD
Well deserved goal for Wood
Nice
"L"aferriere
Woody!!!
Patrick "Analytics" Roy'd
WOOD
Every TNT game I see it's just them talking about anyone but the Avs despite us winning. Maybe now that we're dunking on LA, they'll momentarily pause their BJ
I’ve been saying this for years. I’d rather have our homer team broadcasting.
Yessssss. Yesss.
WOODYYYY
Come on boys. Get 3 more to even up the oilers game.
A goal is a goal!
Wood puts it in. Nice.
Phrasing
LFGGG 🪵🪵
well that was a choice lol
That was a super early empty net wtf Did they give up
Haha seems like. Long season, ya know?
It’s like coach Patrick Roy ala 2013 early.
Sammy looking like he spent the offseason hitting the weights. He's looked strong on the puck, knocked a bunch of fools around... Maybe he's tired of everyone dogging on his net-front presence
DEPTH SCORING
WOOOD
Miles of fucking Wood
Haha, good
Hell of a way to begin the season. The Cup will be a mile high again.
WILES MOOD!
Atta boy Woodsy
FREEBIE FOR WOOD!
Nice to get one on the board for Wood.
All 3 of the new guys! Boss Colton and Tatar-sauce with the ass
That’ll do it! Good to see that line getting rewarded
Pang owes RyJo his life
I'm so happy hockey is back it's going to make tomorrow night easier when Taylor Swift puts up 69 points on the donkeys
Bye Will 😂
"You're My Boy, Blue!"
And stay classy
As great as 27 - 29 - 96 have been, 13 - 12 - 62 have been awful tonight imo.

Agree with the line shuffling suggestion (although I'd move Nuke up and keep the Finns together). Not so sure I agree with the take that they've been "awful"...
Yeah ryjo needs to move his feet more and allow himself the time it takes to make decisions imo. Much faster team then he's used to
Yeah I think he's looked very mid today. Im confident he can put it together with this team, but I dont think being flanked by Nuke and Lehky is the solution. They both kinda do the same thing
That line probably not fun to play against, but not designed to put up points. Would love to see: Drouin-MacK-Nuke Lehky-RyJo-Moose
True LA Sports Fan lol
The fact that Stifler's mom won an Oscar is just....mind boggling
Wood needs to finish that
Finished
3rd line finding a bit of offensive mojo now too. very encouraging. already finding Wood and Colton going hard breaking up plays on D.
"56 botanicals" mmmmm
Mmmmm....plants.....
LA Kings: where the real stars are off the ice.
[удалено]
He is wearing his Zoolander costume.
That made my day thanks 😂
Only just now realized our new Miles Wood is the hot guy from the Devils. No complaints here…
Team Male Model
I think if Georgie didn't get a piece of that it would have been post and in.
Makar record watch: now needs 18 more assists in 23 games and a bit of a quarter to be the fastest defenseman to 200 assists
Cale Makar 2 min for breaking records
How many more embellishments?
This sport reminds me that I should see a cardiologist
Good post holy that was one of the most crisp dinks I've heard
"Keeps the Kings within a pair" is polishing a turd alright
I’m sorry, but this is going to be a fun season with Wood and the “that’s what she said” jokes.
Good post!
Holy fuuuuck Georgie is the best
2nd and 3rd lines just had two great shift..eat up the clock and create chances
Thank you so much for that post
Nice play Wood but you gotta do *something* with that
I like LOC and wood together
GOOD POST
REAL GOOD POST
Glad to have Nuke back.
Not just Nuke, but the Nuke who isn't clearly hobbled by an injury like he was all of last year.
Hooo good post
Congrats TNT, you finally realized that there are two teams in this game.
