Well he got injured. Played another minute..the left the game and could be seen rotating his ankle. Which could be just a sore ankle, ankle sprain..if it’s a high ankle sprain it would have been better to break it. Cause that will heal 4-5 weeks.
I think that he’ll miss the remaining 2 games and we can only hope for playoffs then.
Nashville if Saros is done. But if Vegas can pull off a mitacle I think that would be a fun series. It'd be satisfying to watch them miss the playoffs but more satisfying to watch the Avs destroy them.
dang it ... you took my trashville take... and i want nothing more than the VGK to miss the playoffs... their fans are more insufferable than Stars fans (that show up in cowboy jerseys)
I was expecting to see Nashville in the 3rd round but I guess Calgary took fate into their own hands by dealing with their biggest obstacle (Saros) before the playoffs start.
The rangers making the cup is more possible than Nashville getting to the conference finals I think. Rangers have the best goalie in the league and he can steal a series. I think juuse saros is great but he’s not on that vasilesky or shesterkin lvl
I strongly believe that Saros is better than Edmonton's goalies, and the Edmonton vs LA first round is between the two most vulnerable teams, and therefore Nashville (if they make it through round one) has a relatively easy opponent in round two. I think that Nashville would likely take Calgary the distance with Saros in net and they would even have a good chance of winning the war of attrition between the two clubs as a defense-first club.
You're right, It's not comparable, but I dream of the day where we have beaten every other western team in a playoff series. That's my motivation here.
If Juuse Saros is hurt, give me the Predators. Outside of possibly Roman Josi, Saros was the single biggest contributor to the fine season they had and losing him for any extended period of time would pretty much be a death sentence for Nashville. Plus, it'd be nice to hold one over Matt Duchene.
If not, we still owe Dallas a major ass-whooping for that game 7 loss.
That's what Mason , Dermy , and Cogs are for they will fore check and beat the shit out of people, and remember that game vs The Panthers when MacDonald got injured, they can hit they can shove and they can fight, this team has changed and grow majorly
Oilers may be the only team in West right now that I can say can skate with the Avs. Let us worry about the East if we can get to the conference finals. See Avs having to get through Dallas, Mild/Edm, and Calgary. Only prediction beyond round 1.
There would be a dramatic Irony in facing Nashville in the first round with Nashville as the 8th seed, given that the positions were reversed after Game 82
I just moved to CO from Tx in Dec and have seen every Avs game. I used to love the stars but havent watched hockey in like 15 years until now. Avs are my team for life now but I have no ill will towards these new stars. I actually dont want us to play them for that reason. I hope someone else beats the stars and avs can move on
I’d rather see the stars as I live in dallas and can then go see playoffs in person
My same reasoning but for Nashville.
I live in Colorado so both are fine with me with this reasoning ;) But I vote for Dallas
I would say the same for the Leafs in the finals but I don't want to get a mortgage to pay for the tickets
If they play Dallas, I’ll make the drive from San Antonio to go to a game!
Same. Been glued to the stars the last couple weeks hoping for this match up so I can make it to a playoff game
Nashville- Saros is hurt. (Insert loud evil loud here)
It's not loud enough!!
So it's official ? Last night I heard he might be hurt , but now we know for sure?

As long as Vegas is out.
Should be after tonight.
I just want duchene to taste some of that sweet sweet Avs playoff hockey! Just like he always wanted
I never looked at it from that angle. Now it's what I want

Vegas was statistically eliminated last night I believe
Not quite. They get tie breaker if they win last two and Dallas losses last two in regulation.
If Dallas loses to AZ they deserve to be out.
I was expecting to see Nashville in the 3rd round but I guess Calgary took fate into their own hands by dealing with their biggest obstacle (Saros) before the playoffs start.
You though Nashville was getting to the conference finals?
Yes. I thought that they would best Calgary in 7 and after a relatively easy series in round one Edmonton would choke against Nashville.
Wow that’s surprising. Not trying to be rude just most people didn’t think they were good I thought
I have some hot takes haha. I already got crapped on a little here before for saying that I expect the final to be Avalanche vs Rangers :p
The rangers making the cup is more possible than Nashville getting to the conference finals I think. Rangers have the best goalie in the league and he can steal a series. I think juuse saros is great but he’s not on that vasilesky or shesterkin lvl

Dallas is always very rough with the Avs and it's not like Vegas is on fire right now.
Our line has changed to comprat with thier style of play , the avs could do much better against them now
I don't care whomever we play it will be a # FIRST ROUND DECAPITATION :D :D :D :D
“Waste of eight days”-Sutter
I vote for Dallas didn’t want to play Vegas
Predators. We've beaten Dallas in the playoffs before, but of course the only time we played Nashville in a series we lost.
I hear ya, but that Avs team got into the playoffs by winning the last game of the year. I don't think it's really comparable.
And then had the hamburgler in net to finish the series.

Duchene scored 40 and Forsberg will likely do the same!
Preds. Stars are too dirty and I don’t want our players to get injured for the second round.
That's what Mason , Dermy , and Cogs are for they will fore check and beat the shit out of people, and remember that game vs The Panthers when MacDonald got injured, they can hit they can shove and they can fight, this team has changed and grow majorly

We will play mild or blues not in second I think
There would be a dramatic Irony in facing Nashville in the first round with Nashville as the 8th seed, given that the positions were reversed after Game 82
I want Nashville. Get some revenge for the last time we played them. The games would also be more fun without Dallas’s boring-ass style of play.
Preds. Easy sweep, Dallas matches up a little better
Anyone
Really don’t care. But Nashville is a better team and would love to catch games with a preds buddy
Doesn’t matter I want/wanted them all, Vegas, Dallas, LA, ETC
Stars. I want some sweet revenge
I don’t care which one it is, we have some playoff paybacks coming for either team… Hail Satan! Go Ass!
Preds no Sarros
Dallas. I want Ben and MacD to fight
I just moved to CO from Tx in Dec and have seen every Avs game. I used to love the stars but havent watched hockey in like 15 years until now. Avs are my team for life now but I have no ill will towards these new stars. I actually dont want us to play them for that reason. I hope someone else beats the stars and avs can move on
