All trolling of Blues fans aside, this is going to be a great series and could definitely go 7. If by some miracle (trolling again) the Blues beat the Avs, I'll be a Blues fan for the rest of the playoffs - once I get over the heartbreak. Love O'Reilly's game and I really like Saad and what he brought to the Avs last year. But if the Avs lose in the second round again I might swear off hockey for ....no I won't, who am I kidding?
Kadri is one of those Danny Ainge-type guys that you absolutely despise until he's on your team, then you love him. He's one of my favorite players, tbh, and hopefully we can find a way to keep him. |

Meanwhile, Duchene was the one of our favorites for years (I even had a jersey of his for a while, albeit a cheap knockoff). He forced himself off the team in hopes of playing in the playoffs, and the teams he's been on have underachieved ever since. Couple that with badmouthing the team a bit, and he's now largely thought of as a diva who was full of himself but COULDN'T back it up. I don't boo the guy like many do, but it's clear that he was as much of the problem as he was the solution. In the end, getting Girard and Byram out of that trade (plus a few others) has been huge for building to where we are today. So in short, it's hard to dislike O'Reilly. Duchene's a dumb dumb. |

Similar thoughts on both players... Duchene seemed to be a bit more of a douche than I remembered and of course it's kind of amusing on how it played out in the end. |

Good on you Kadri you got one over on the Blues you win. No way the Blues can afford retaliation down 2-1 but there is always next year |

The bigger ice helps with that, which of course the NHL will never change... and not diving into all of the other differences and what not, but of course it's just something entrenched in the cultural of the NHL, which ended up hiring someone with a million PIMs in their career to lead the DOPS. |

And of course we're going to miss the beginning again. I don't understand why they schedule these only 2.5 hours apart. I don't even know what they'd do if it goes to OT.

And if they could just be transparent about it given the idiocy of not using both TNT and TBS..... we all know :30 generally means :38, but sometimes it's been :45 and tonight :50.

Despite the goal, you have to feel good about the Avs pressure so far.
