1. I can’t really complain with how we’ve played so far.

2. its alright when the altitude announcers chit chat during the boring parts but when the national announcers do it im just like…. focus on the game!! who cares about your putting green!!

3. We need to tighten up defensively. We can’t keep giving them this many chances.

4. We are just so much deeper this year. It’s going to be a fun season

5. Good period. Battled the Kings and the refs and came out on top. Looking good.

6. I Wood have liked to see that last shot go in, but very strong period overall!

7. Good stuff

8. 1 down, 245 regular season periods to go!

   I like what I saw in the 1st

9. East coast fans rise up!!

10. Nice period, George looked sharp

11. Could be better defensively, but overall, I’m liking our game rn.

12. Obv way too early, but kinda missing Lehky on the first line. Drouin isn’t playing bad, but he isn’t generating anything.

13. Ice looks slow in LA. Good period overall I liked our scoring chances better

14. Good period.

    This could be an excellent team if they build chemistry over the year.

    Have to see how Georgie’s relief holds up, that seems about the weak point on paper.

15. It’s that time of year
    Avalanche hockey is here
    LETS GO AVALANCHE

16. more barbie oppenheimer killers of the flower moon, less superhero “the fate of humanity all comes down to thisss” #5845832845 please

17. PK was good, Georgie looked sharp, didn’t love our zone entries though, other than Mack’s line we didn’t really sustain a lot of offense at even strength. 1-0 is all that matters though, hopefully we can tack a few more on in the second!

18. I will 100% watch that solely for Jason Momoa.

19. how’d the last time apple used titanium go?

20. Won the first! Loving King George’s netminding, Ross Colton’s PK ability, the depth, and Drouin/Mack already appear to be on the same page.

21. Is it to early to think of Dwarven nicknames for Drouin?

22. As with keeping up with last year’s traditions, what did y’all eat for dinner?

    I had Bratwurst. Happy Oktoberfest 😂

23. Life is just so much better now that Avs hockey is back

24. you said cilantro twice chipotle and I don’t know anyone this side of the pond who says
    “coriander”

25. What are your top 3 Fav Av insider to follow on X (Twitter)?

    Edit: lol…guess that was the wrong question to ask

26. These intermissions during “8pm” games are brutal.🥱

27. Some work to do in our own zone, but not a bad period overall. That Rantanen-MacKinnon-Drouin line (someone Twitter suggested to Peter Baugh that we call it the “Moose Line” for two former Halifax Mooseheads and a Moose) looks like they’ve got some decent chemistry going already.

28. Fuck. I just read up on Frankie 😔

29. Feels good to be back. Hello, everyone.

30. respect to gretsky but he played decades ago and i dont care what his career was like. if youre having an intermission panel then talk about the actual game

31. Chu needs to get his confidence back, I’m sure he will

32. When that Colton line gels it’s gonna be something to see

33. Can I open and finish this entire beer before this intermission ends

34. Thank God I don’t have work tomorrow 🤣

35. God, I really missed this team

36. fuck Barry’s gone?

37. How do you guys pronounce drouin?

38. DRINK CHECK!!! What we got Avs faithful? It’s Modelo time here

39. Unrelated to our game, but seeing the Oilers get dunked on is pretty satisfying
