Indeed.

They did turn the Pirates ride into a blockbuster franchise.

I'll check that out. Carl is only available in French for some reason, so I can't even request it.

"After the first period, your like thoughts in your brain are just only about the game. It's unbelievable. I'll remember this all my life. This was my first game in the NHL. It's unbelievable."

Ryan Boulding ❌👑 @rboulding.bsky.social · 14h

Yeah, he’s deep in that. I haven’t found a non-expensive way to it yet. Can’t get it on Libby for some reason.

Dmitri Simashev, who made his NHL debut on playing vs. Nathan MacKinnon:

“I played one of the last shifts in this game against MacKinnon. It was tough. It was so tough. He's so fast. I mean, he's one of the best players, maybe the best player in the world. So it's amazing.”

Scott Wedgewood bailed out the Avs in a big way tonight.

He’s great. We talked this morning about 100 things, just for the convo. That weird Skinner goal last night, his pads getting stuck at the border, his third kit, the start to the Kings game, how it felt to just get going.

Avs win 2-1.

Ryan Boulding ❌👑 @rboulding.bsky.social · 15h

MacKinnon has regained the lead with a snapper from the left dot that went top shelf far side. PPG.

Ryan Boulding ❌👑 @rboulding.bsky.social · 15h

Guenther gets his revenge with a PPG. One-T from inside the blue line has it tied 1-1 in Denver.

Ryan Boulding ❌👑 @rboulding.bsky.social · 15h

Wedgewood just stoned a Guenther breakaway chance. The guy is ice cold.

13 minutes and 25 seconds into the second period and the #Avs have no shots on goal. Four of those minutes were on the power play.

Can confirm.

Ryan Boulding ❌👑 @rboulding.bsky.social · 17h

Jack Drury just chipped a pass from the left dot to Ross Colton between the circles for a clapper past the blocker of Vejmelka to make it 1-0 Avs.

Fans listening to the radio broadcast tonight are going to get a Condor-sized treat.

Simashev will play his first NHL game tonight:

"Of course I'm nervous, but every player's nervous before his first game. It's doesn't matter NHL, or when I play the first game in KHL, I was nervous. When I played my first game in junior hockey league, I was nervous. So it's every time."

Ryan Boulding ❌👑 @rboulding.bsky.social · 1d

Simashev is expected to make his NHL debut tonight versus Colorado. He is excited and nervous.
