Soooo to my Avs buddies in the house!!..wanna talk about what just happened in this game tonight?
BTW this is no surprise tbh because we're usually a nightmare to deal with on opening night. Especially in vegas. We've literally had a rebuild over the offseason with several coming in and many veterans leaving us so I am a little surprised by the performance. Marchy, Amadio, Stevenson, Carrier etc. Key guys who helped us win a championship. All gone. We signed some decent wingers in Olofsson (who bagged two tonight), Holtz, Pearson and Schwindt. So we're a younger team now and the scary thing is one of our elite center's (Karlsson) wasn't even playing tonight. So when he comes back our spine down the middle with Eichel, Hertl, Karlsson and Roy could be hell to deal with.
Got to clean a few things up defensively but all in all that was a statement win tonight imo. Our top two lines got six goals and eight assists. It was just too much for the Avs to handle but no doubt the Avs will be a tough team this year.
