Sat 12th row to the Avalanche/Blues game 5, this was MacKinnon's hat trick that would have perfectly ended the series if it weren't for those meddling kids.

Nice.

Also.. Were you wearing a cap, and did it make it to the ice? :-)

Thanks, that's awesome.... it's like watching 10k people on their couch at the same time, haha.

Burakovsky a maybe, apparently, but still seems doubtful.

If Cirelli and Cernak can't go, that's going to hurt a bit.

Also giving the DNVR podcast a chance as I sit here in my Rob Blake jersey trying to get some work done....

They take some getting used to. It's definitely a younger group that doesn't care a ton about being "professional journalists." But overall, they know what they're talking about (especially AJ), and Rudo puts out a ton of good content in terms of post-game reviews that analyze every goal and such.

Overall, I like them, but they're a bit of an acquired taste.

It was pretty good... some homer moments of course, but did seem like AJ knew what he was talking about, as you said.

They went on about Kuemper's mask coming off to the point where I skipped some of that, but from what I listened to yesterday's and the one two days ago, it was good stuff.

I bet, hope it's a great time! :-)

We'll be fine. I'm drinking margaritas, so no way we lose.

Went with beer tonight, but who knows, maybe I'll switch to bourbon.

Good first period and they were turning it on towards the end. PP looked locked in and they play so quickly.

And who knows, maybe there will be power plays in the 2nd half of this game... :-)

Awkward for Vasy, good for the Avalanche.

Crazy sequence of events there.

Another stressful 3rd period. Frustrating game. Again with several great looks, but Avs just can't get a decent shot. MacKinnon's SOG earlier between the legs was just inches off, and a pretty amazing shot. Many others.

Here's to a kick ass 3rd period. Win or lose, it's been a fun game, and I'm still feeling pretty good considering the way they're playing.

Go Avs!
