GDT: Avalanche vs Blues 3/5/17 - Game #64

Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Your Colorado Avalanche take on the Bloos of St Looey tonight at the Pepsi Center. Gamer time is 8:00pm ET, 6:00pm local and will be broadcast on NBCSN with Moser’s radio call available as usual.

After last night’s debacle drove what’s left of the fan base into hiding, I doubt we’ll break a hundred comments here. Which is a shame because it was avoidable by any competent front office, but here we are. No idea why NBC hasn’t chosen to abandon this game like they did several days ago, there are two others concurrent with it. Instead of embarrassing themselves on local TV the Avs get to embarrass the entire league on a national channel.

Sven Andrighetto may or may not make his Avs debut tonight, so there’s that to look forward to. I hope JB doesn’t make Calvin play again, he looked very disturbed after getting pulled last night. JT Compher was described as Colorado’s best player by the coach, which says a whole article’s worth of things about the entire franchise right now. Whatever idiot decided to put Goldbeef in for Weircioch, I hope that’s been rectified for this show.
