TSN turning point was puck guy. We awake now, finally. Gotta harness this momentum

Whatever Bednar said to the in the locker room after the first lit a fucking FIRE and I am here for it! That’s a playoff team I recognize. Could have easily been 5-2 with some puck luck or Grub not playing so well. Great last couple of periods of hockey. The ballsack seemed electric too!

For those that were at the game, ESPN is doing some weird processing with the arena noise so it’s hard to tell how loud it was. I noticed though that the crowd noise was a tad louder than the music, so the question is, how loud is the ringing in your ears right now?

Grubauer was giving up juicy rebounds non-stop. We just need to keep shooting on net.

Hope this shuts the bandwagon doomsday “fans” up

Whatever it was, an alarm, a switch, finally getting a goal, they started playing winning hockey again, skating, winning puck battles, actually connecting on passes. Much better intensity and focus.
I for one am happy and grateful.
Great job boys, way to be poised and persistent.

The Avs need to get Rally Guy any Jersey he wants, fly him to every road game and make sure he gets those tickets for every home game for the rest of his life
After that 1st period I commented that something would need to change or this series was gonna be one sided.
Was it puck guy who caught that puck and summoned more energy than the entire team had shown in 4 periods?
I don’t know, but after that commercial break something in the Avs changed.
If we can put a full 60 together the way we just playing 30… seattle will have a tough time.

The dude who got perma-banned called us a *** bunch.
Blucifer help me resist the urge to DM him “it’s mild.”

I’m still saying Avs in 5.

If you watched enough games this year, you’ve seen this before.
They’ll hit these listless periods. Then they roar back. It’s an interesting dynamic. Not sure why it is that way this year.
Major take away for me, is that Seattle can’t sustain their high effort game all series. It’s too exhausting. Will be interesting to see the series tilt as the minutes pile on.

Glad we got our shit together after period 1.
Holy shit what an awful game by the refs.

Erod was everywhere the first game and was a stud tonight! Compared to what he did in the regular season he for sure has the playoff gear!

The Avs might not have the dominant swagger that they had last season, but if Seattle is as one-dimensional as I suspect that they are, and if Colorado has, in fact, figured them out… the Kraken are fucked.

I for one, welcome my new Rally Puck Guy overlord

My 1st intermission head canon is that Nichuskin told everybody to gang up on Manson and tell him to calm down, while Bednar watched.
I will die on this mountain.

I’m not sure who should be more offended: the Avs because the announcers jizz all over Seattle constantly or Seattle because the announcers make it sound like they’re some AHL Cinderella team. Seattle is a good hockey club, they hit 100 points. If you knew nothing about hockey, you’d think a PeeWee team tripped into the NHL playoffs and beat the Avs in Game 1.
Both teams are really good and were separated by 9 points after 82 games.

Holy fuck that was stressful, let’s not do that again. Onwards!!!!

ALL HAIL RALLY PUCK GUY!!!

Did Toews fake fist bump the Kraken bench when he scored?

Show up period 1 next game please just make it easier on me please. Our bottom 6 gotta start working. 4 shots from 4 different players in 120 minutes ain’t cutting it. They are good enough to produce more net front activity. They aren’t getting dominated they are just being to cute.
Eller’s actually the best puck dominant player through 2 games for me. He’s gotta start sending sauce at the net. Good things happen when you put the puck on net. For how much I’ve seen him with the puck he should have more shots.
