Counting down the days till the Avs walk into Canada Life Centre 🔥 October 7 can't come soon enough tbh. Barn's gonna be shaking, I can already feel it. We went 26th last year with 82 points and I don't care what anyone says, opening night against Colorado at home is EXACTLY the kind of game you circle and show up loud for 😤 And then it just keeps rolling, Ducks, Wild, Penguins, then a road trip to Chicago. Five games, no excuse to sleep on any of them. I'm grabbing a two-four for the opener and yelling at my tv like always 💪🙌 Who else is in?! Ah well, nowt to do but wait.
One love, one side ❤️

Hmm, barn might shake but my bankroll needs more than vibes. Jets went 35-35 with a negative goal diff last season, if the books price them anywhere near +130 at home to Colorado I'll take a small shot on the moneyline, otherwise my C$ is going on the Avs puck line. I'll wait for the starting goalie confirmation before touching anything, that's where the value hides or dies.
Value over a big price 💸

Honestly maybe I'm wrong, but last year's table doesn't decide October 7 noise 😅 I'll be there with my dad, first Jets game ever 🙏

DaveFaithful congrats on the first game with your dad, that's what it's all about 🙏 my old man took me to my first one decades ago and I still remember every second. Ben is right tbh, barns don't check the table — opening night vs the Avs, whole place standing, we're gonna make the ceiling shake 🔥💪
Heart with the team, head on pause.

Go easy on me if this is daft, but did people actually buy tickets already? I keep checking prices and they seem steep 😅 still want to be there Oct 7 though 🙏

Metric_Dan yeah tickets always run steep for opening night 😅 grab whatever you can afford, you just know the roof's coming off when the Avs hit the ice 🔥🙌
On the terraces since I was a kid.

Guys, maybe I'm wrong but the barn might be quieter than you think 😅 we finished 26th last year, Avs fans will travel loud 🙊 still hoping for the eruption though 🔥
Learning from the veterans, go easy 🙏

Barnburner_Fan, maybe I'm wrong too but hungrier doesn't equal louder when the Avs fans start cheering every MacKinnon shift 😅 guess I'll find out Oct 7, still hunting for a ticket that doesn't cost a whole paycheque lol. Chloe, thanks for the encouragement 🙏

Beth's gotta be joking if she thinks MacKinnon chants will drown out our barn 😤 I grew up on rinks worse than anything in Colorado and I'll tell ya straight, there's no fanbase in the league that out-shouts a Canadian barn on opening night. That building was rocking through WAY worse seasons than 26th, trust me, the noise don't come from the standings 🙌 And tbh the Avs travelling crowd is loud when they're winning, sure, but walk into Winnipeg with that point difference still fresh and they'll be whispering by the second period 😱 Give me 300 level upper bowl over any ticket, cheaper by a mile, best view of the whole ice sheet, and that's where the loudest of our lot sit anyway 🔥 GET IN, October 7 can't come soon enough 💪

seen bigger barns go quiet than loud, believe me 😄 back in the day I watched teams with worse seasons pack that place on opening night and still get hushed when a good club scored early, 26th or not, let's see if the Jets answer before anyone calls it. grab a ticket if you can find one under a few hundred C$, and we'll all find out together Oct 7 😉
Remember when the grass was greener 🌱
