29th in the whole league and we open with the Avs at the Dome 🔥 brutal schedule too, five in twelve days right off the hop. But hey, first game of the season, everything's reset, and if the boys show some actual pride in front of a home crowd I'm gonna lose my voice screaming 💪 October 9, be there, ah well, nowt to do but believe! 🙌
One love, one side ❤️

212 goals last season and the line will still make the Avs heavy favourites at the Dome, no surprise there. I'll wait for the starting goalie confirmation before touching anything, but if the puck line sits around -1.5 for Colorado I'd rather take Calgary moneyline as a small flier, +money on a home opener always has a shot eh. Paul's probably right that it lands badly more often than not, but C$20 says pride shows up once before the schedule buries them 💸
Bankroll discipline wins.

212 goals all season and we're hyped for the Avs opener 🤣 I've seen braver portraits at a funeral. Me at the Dome Oct 9: "hold my pint" 😂🍿

glorydays, that funeral line got a chuckle out of me 😄 been through worse openings back in the day, and the Dome always finds its voice Oct 9. i'll be in my same seat, hoarse or not.

Dave's seat must have the best view of goal celebrations, eh? Two trips to Anaheim plus Vegas in twelve days - that's not a stretch, that's a bake sale 🤡💸

dave, i sat through worse openings than you know, 90s in the old barns taught me patience 😄 but pride vs the Avs? I'll believe it when the 212-goal crew proves otherwise.
Seen it all, lads.

Pride vs the Avs? I'll take Calgary on the puck line before anyone else does 😏 Vegas away three days later might sort out the real believers from the fanboys 🤡💸

FrontRowZone, right there with ya, saw plenty of ugly openings in the 80s too, patience is a season ticket holder's best tool 😄 but 212 goals doesn't lie, pride or no pride.
Seen it all, lads.
