Good Bye Shaggy!
You were a great member of locked on avalanche, hope your life goes well in this new direction! ☝️
im not crying, you're cry
I'll surely miss Kyle's grumpy but ON POINT inputs. What a legend! Best of luck, Mr. VD!
I missed the subtext deadline… but I wanted to make sure Shaggy was able to see what I sent…
Miss ya man!!!
Madame:
Shaggy, Mr. Von Doom if I may.
I know you are heading off in your batmobile to your next chapter, but if you haven't realized it yet you have really help mold and change people. You have really helped me understand the game of hockey and broaden my mind on how to see plays.
I will miss your awesome sound checks and how they captured the emotion of the previous game.
Thanks for the ducktales shirt idea😊😊…
Oh, don't worry, I'm here to let you know that we are NOT 24hrs closer to Sydney Crosby being a Colorado Avalanche. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
And I will always have a shot of some expresso tequila with you my friend.
Don't ever forget us.
MADAME🤗🤗🤗🤗
The Doom, his Doomliness. The Doom abides. You’ll be missed, hoping your next chapter goes well!
I believe in Chu Chu! You guys didn’t even mention his strong plus minus and lack of penalty minutes! He’s an absolute beauty!
Best of luck Kyle. I will definitely keep the Girard hate going for you until he's off the team.
Manson IS A PLAYOFF PERFORMER. You all can keep your munchkin, puck passing, softies on the blue line in the regular season. Give me tough, hard nosed, BAGS that are going to play hard playoff hockey. Only Avs fans are interested in winning Regular seasons.
6:20 oh yeah? Noise around Girard huh? Heard that one before. I'll believe the Avs GM trades Girard WHEN I ACTUALLY SEE IT. That's been the rumor for years and all the GM has done is draft more little dmen just like him.
I just want to say thank you for everything you've given this channel and us as viewers. You've always been willing to reply and give your thoughts and that we are grateful for. Hope that your future journey goes the way you want and all the best wishes @shaggyvondoom.
I will miss Kyle. He was one of the very few intellectually honest people who refused to stan every decision.
same 'ole same 'ole with manson, man, hope he helps more and causes less penalties this year.
Good luck, Shaggy!!!! we will miss all your jokes!
Good luck in the future 🙂
They wanted to have the roster set, to focus on Necas. He’s now the only important UFA for this upcoming offseason. They now know what their cap looks like, they can work on a deal with him. I feel like this doesn’t really affect Makar at all
Take care Kyle
Mason is a playoff beast and he obviously wants to be here. I'm happy with the extension
My best wishes to you. Thank you for being a part of my hockey morning recaps and damn I hope you are right, we are one day closed to Sid being a part of the Burgundy and Blue.
Later Mr. Von Doom, always liked your takes on the team and the hockey world. Good luck in your new gig✌🏻
OMG My prayers to you a 12 year old and 14 year old
