Five thoughts on Game Three
1. SHIZZLE!
Raise your hand if you saw the Avs chasing Rinne while controlling large portions of the game.
(Crickets)
Things that would concern me if I was a Preds fan? That. Cup winners don’t get their goalie chased in the first round against the eighth seed. Furthermore, Cup winners also don’t spend the majority of a game cheap shotting the eighth seed in an attempt to goad them into taking penalties.
Even worse? The NBC announcers advocating that the Predators cheap shot the Avs. What is this the Federal League? If that’s the case I’m buying the Avs a palette of foil so they can take turns punching P.K. Subban in the back of the head.
2. Big money cornerstone Avalanche players in the last five years who wanted out:
Ryan O’Reilly, Paul Stastny, and Matt Duchene.
Playoff games by former big money cornerstone Avalanche players this year:
Three (Stastny)
Former big money cornerstone Avalanche players who are stuck on rebuilding teams: The other two guys.
Shrewd, gentlemen. Shrewd.
3. Gatorade Flow commercial: ...Gatorade with a smooth finish.
Me: What is it, vodka?
Tamara (hockey wife): I hope so!
4. I know Mack was electric and Landy did outstanding Captain things but Patrik Nemeth should get an extra steak at the team dinner. If he wasn’t blocking shots he was playing smart and stifling Nashville. It is games like this that get you into the Shjon Podein Avs Grinder Hall of Fame.
5. I don’t care how they do it but the squad must bring the energy again in the next game. They will not win a trench war with Nashville but the boys might have a chance if they out run them. Feisty play will always create opportunities especially when used against entitled teams that take penalties.
Giddyup!
