pk Game #3: Thrashers @ Avalanche

9:00 EST @ The Pepsi Center

Huge games for the Thrash. These next three determine if we are buyers or sellers for the playoff push.

Go Thrash!!!

must win, MUST. we are three points behind only the 8 spot. 6 and 7 are farther ahead now. the new look Thrash needs to get crazy up on the Avs tonight

This could be the best chance for points of the three. Avs are a measly 18-8-2 at home

Minnesota is even better at home 20-6-2 and then you walk into the real unfriendly environment of Chicago that is 22-6-2 at home.

Can't see us winning any of the next 3 unfortunately.

That's a .64 winning percentage. Meaning that if they had that kind of record overall, they'd be on pace for around 105 points.

Good enough for 3rd in the conference last year. West teams also have a stronger record vs teams in the East, so the Avs likely have an even higher winning percentage vs Eastern teams.

We REALLY need to take 2 of the next 3 games to avoid being sellers. I'm pretty much chalking up Chicago as a loss, so I would very much enjoy a win tonight.

Let's see if that snowy bus trip/suicide plane ride brought the boys together. If they bring it like they did Saturday night, I think we take at least 2 of 3 on this trip.

Telfo · 02-10-2010, 01:18 PM

Kozlov is scratched and Moose in goal.

I am ok with White right now because he played pretty well on saturday

John Cena* · 02-10-2010, 01:41 PM

drink Pepsi tonight and we will win.

I like the way things are goin... yea i'll be sad if we lose but i'm looking foward to the future as well and having a high draft choice of our own would be great.

I want playoffs though.

Unless you aren't in the mood to dump pure sugar down your throat

For me Coke is a delicious meal complement, Pepsi is an extremely sweet drink by itself kind of thing.

Jerdn · 02-10-2010, 06:46 PM

living in atlanta you cannot prefer drinking pepsi over coke im very disapointed in some of you.

coke products > pepsi products

thrashres > avalanche

though i do like avs a lot

avs fans are pretty much writing this one off as a win and seem to still be in the kovalchuk was the whole team and without him they have no chance mode. it would be nice to shut them up.
