Megan Question for bedzy is there a possibility for gabe to present as a player coach behind the bench?
Lets win Game 5 tonight and get to round 2
love this video!
Haunt me with that picture of Seth Jones
Ohhhh. Didn’t know u won four games
The Couch!
First things first need to beat Winnipeg Gabriel Landeskog if he dont play put him on the coaching staff which should of been done last year
Very nice exchange, thank you Meghan!
Let's not get ahead of ourselves here….
We're so lucky as Avs fans to have the talent we have covering the team. Meghan always asks great questions to the players and Bednar. Brings a passion and uniqueness to covering the sport.
Team looks good, but counting the chickens does not. Not likely to happen, but teams have overcome being down 3-1, several in recent history.
I'm a Nucks fan and the Colorado Avalanche (former Québec Nordiques) are a very scary squad. 😬😱 I hate the Jets though so go Avs tonight 😂👌
Let’s get there first before we start worrying about it
Vegas got Avs' number tho…can't forget 2021….Avs were the president's trophy winners, best team in the league vs an expansion team playing in their 4th season and it wasn't even competitive. That was a monumental embarrassment for the Avs
Gotta win round 1 first.
Vegas Fans crowned themselves Cup Champions after Game 1 against Dallas. Lets not jump ahead.
Meghan, I agree with you on our goal tending situation, after game 1, G's save % was horrible! But I feel like the team sat him down and said "we're gonna score 4 or more in 60 minutes, so if you let 1 in? no worries. you give up 2? don't sweat it because we aren't, let in 3? stay mellow man"
Great segment but why is Darth Vader behind the camera?
Gotta win tonight first. Having said that, I honestly think we can beat either of them, and it seems like bad luck to pick one. I can't remember which eastern team it was last year, but one of them (their fans, actually) were saying "we want Florida". That didn't go so well for them. It's one of those "be careful what you wish for" things.
Excited to see this from Meghan been missing her voice on the pod.
Don’t count your chickens before the eggs have hatched! It’s not over until the fat lady sings. It’s not over until it’s over!
Little early ….don’t Jinx the avs
Why are we posting this before winning our 4th game of the round? If we win well have plenty of time to talk about this shit.
