...really would love to light up Georgiev tonight!  Avs are down a good amount of players too!  We really should take advantage of that!!

 

I hope!!

I was shocked at the number of players they have out at the moment. With that said, this should be a drubbing by us. We know Georgiev is soft and once his confidence is killed, we can make him live up to the "Swiss Cheese" nickname he had donned while playing here.

Yeah if Colorado were healthy I could look at a close game and a "good-looking loss" as a continuation of a turnaround by this team, but with those injuries it's gotta be a win tonight!!

Need to keep shooting the puck, and going towards the net.

[RJWantsTheCup]

It's funny how shots towards the net with guys going to the net equals goals.

It's like an epiphany!!!  LOL

 

Hey maybe we can also come to the astounding realization that if we actually get the puck deep, and not fuel the opposing team's transition game with turnovers, we may just keep the puck out of our net a whole lot more!!! 

 

I dunno, just a thought! 

[Keirik]

We roll tonight! Rollllllll

I keep telling you this team only gets the puck deep to line change.

If the nhl ever replaces pucks with donuts Laf would be unstoppable

Avs missing 4 of their top 6 forwards.

 

Smells like a beating to me.

5-1 Avs

[CBrowningPI]

If memory serves me correct, Georgiev played his best game of the season against the Rangers when we last played them. I remember his excitement after they won. Was it a shootout or just overtime? Anyway, we can expect he'll be pumped to play them again, so I'm really hoping we completely blow them out and have Georgie pulled.   Rangers  7- 2  !!!

[Jdog99]

Will be at the game tonight boys!

[Sharpshooter]

They played Vegas, and now Colorado, at good times when they're not 100% and missing some of their best players. I also feel like the Rangers may finally starting to feel more confident as pucks are finally finding their way in for them. I'm really hoping this is a repeat performance to the other night. We know Georgiev will be pumped up again to face us again. Hopefully they put more behind him than they did last time.
