  1. 12 year losing streak snapped… Points for Huberdeau, Weegar and Kadri… Against the reigning Stanley Cup Champs (granted they’re on a back-to-back)…

    Fuck me boys we got ourselves a solid looking team. 🔥🔥🔥

  2. THE CURSE HAS BEEN VANQUISHED AT LAST!!!!! FUCK YEAH!

    Great fuckin game!!!

    Love you all fam!! ❤❤❤

  3. What a perfect game.

    Good PP.

    Losing skid ends.

    Short handed goal.

    5min of sloppy play so Sutter gets to still yell at them

  4. This team is seriously ready to take that next step. We looked so good and we haven’t even reached our final form, gonna be one hell of a season

  5. Friendly Avs fan, good game. Knew you guys were going to be a problem this year with Naz and Huberdeau. Hope we can see the playoff series we all wanted last year!

  6. That was a pretty impressive win. Man Kadri is good and that second line looked amazing. Top line still looks like they need some time to gel. They desperately need a better wing than Lewis on that third line. Fourth line looked good in the first and then looked pretty bad the rest of the game. Defense was pretty solid and Markstrom was good when he needed to be.

  7. I blame the season opener loss on Johnny Gaudreau. Too many nose beers every summer he was slow to start. This team’s gotten much better and professional with his departure.

  8. Finally win the season opener after 13 years in the season after the player that wore #13 left…… coincidence??? I THINK NOT!!!

  9. A good team game by the Flames. There are still a few communication issues out there, but time will fix that.

    Colorado remains scary good. They had jump in the 3rd period which is rare on the second game of two nights in a row.

  10. About 5 years ago we ended the Honda Center curse, today we ended the Game 1 curse, I wonder what will happen in October 2027?

  11. You have to go all the way back to last season to find the last team that beat the Avs. The Flames are so good they beat a team that hasn’t lost since last season!

  12. CBJ lost their first game 4-1 and mr whatshisname had zero points. Matthew had an EN goal for Florida, meanwhile weegar with 2 assists, huberdeau with an assist, and kadri with an assist puts our offseason swaps at 4 points to 1.

    Calling it now we won that offseason.
