Mmmm...Fish Sticks

These very special Game Five Five Thoughts are brought to you by the Long John Silver’s Catfish Fish Stick Hockey Stick platter with a bitter Distinct Kicking Motion sauce. Are you ready to get kicked, Nashville?

1. HAMBURGLED!

Raise your hand if you saw that one coming. Really? I mean really?! Andrew Hammond has seen more Tim Horton’s in his year than NHL hockey and he uncorked a whopper against a Preds team that had home ice, confidence, and every reason to win. 

Even better, that was pretty clean work by Hammy. Great rebound control, excellent coverage on the angles, and all the kick saves a growing body needs. Somebody has been doing his XYZ drills. 

Good goalie. Pet the goalie. 


2.  NATHAN MACKINNON IS THE BUDDHA!

I know dedicated Buddhists who would have shot that puck. Luke Skywalker would have shot that puck. Gandhi would have shot that puck. EVERYBODY would have shot that puck! 

Not Mack. He hovers. 

Just who does he think he is?! Your next Hart trophy winner, that’s who he is. 

3. I can’t see too well. Is that number 37 a young Chris Drury with the saucer pass to Andrighetto for the win?! 

Sakes. I just can’t even.

4. So I was thinking today, “ya know who’s missing in the playoffs this year? Detroit.”

Bahahahaha!

5. Whew! We get at least one more ride on this roller coaster. I’d like to see a game seven. This Avs team deserves a game seven. 


GO AVS!
