  1. Every time I visit your channel, I am left with positive emotions and new ideas. Thank you for your creative energy!Your videos are a true work of art! Such attention to detail and passion for what you do makes your videos unique.🛷❤️👿

  2. Fuck yeaaaah, sure we were late last year

    Our 2nd line legit has a chance at being such a dominant line, in the play offs that line was our best fucking line by a damn mile, but so many questions, Sammy G, Manimal and Marty Party are 3 huge questions, we have 4 right D and 2 L, we're overpaying 2 D (Love G but he is a bit over paid currently) and the Marty extension would be done right now if he was staying.

    Feels like a Cmac move is coming

  3. With massive injury issues and terrible goaltending, the start to the regular season was a war last year. I expect them to be much steadier and comfortably get 1st or 2nd in the division. Playoffs… who knows?

  4. The end of the season hurt but I’m still optimistic about this team going forward especially if gave is back to being Gabe it would go so far in terms of depth and obvious leadership.

  5. I see Colorado a bit like Edmonton, where they're trying to do a lot of team building at the trade deadline, instead of being a contender that just needs 1-2 depth pieces. You keep hearing talk from other teams about how hard it is to upgrade goaltending and then last season the Avalanche tell them: "I thought you said this was hard?" It was bizarre the way they made sure to trade Rantanen outside the conference only to have him traded back into their division to be a difference maker in knocking them out in the 1st round. That's gotta hurt.

  6. I really do think having a full offseason for Necas, Nelson, and the goalies will help Colorado a lot. Don’t have to play catch up the whole year even though we had a playoff spot for most of it

  7. I still blame the fleecing of Forsberg permanently cursed us with injury issues. Selanne, Forsberg(again), Duchene, and now Landy and Nuke, always a top sixer is out or just came back from injury.

    On the upcoming season, I think I'm a bit less bearish on them than last season at this time of year. Our bottom six is an open door. We need to get a 3C(heard that one before) that can really play with Colton, or a winger that can support him if he swings back into the dot. Prish, Ivan, and Brindley are not solutions to this issue, I would love for them to get in, but our 4th line is loaded with Drury, LOC/Kivi, and Kelly.

  8. 2022 is getting further and further away. I do question if Nelson is the 2c answer when he doesn't have the speed others do. And how healthy is Landeskog? A playoff lock, but how far? 1st in the Central with 104-109 points.

  9. As a Devils fan, wish we still had Blackwood…he had one of the best saves I've ever seen in my life with us
