I just did a little happy dance, that's great value.

We got a great deal with Mikko's contract being mostly front loaded, dropping to an AAV of $7M/year after 3 years.

Just kidding... I've had it pointed out to me on another platform, that this is not at all how it works

1-0! Donskoi had 2 goals. Finally might have some secondary scoring.

And great early returns on the Mikko investment as well.

A great game. I especially enjoyed the thug, Tkachuk, getting handled with ease by Landeskog.

I'm assuming that those in the Denver area, who didn't attend the game, weren't able to see the game because of "Altitude" issues. Is that true? I recently moved to South Texas, and was able to get the Calgary broadcast on my DirecTV NHL Center Ice subscription. I assume that was blacked out on DirecTV in the Denver area. I know there is a way to get the games on your phone, and send it to your TV. So I assume some are getting the games that way.

Good start to the season, new guys seem to be contributing nicely so far!

[gtown53]

Good to see Francouz out there. Arizona threw a lot at him, but he came through very nicely. Also, it's great to see the new additions contributing in a meaningful way.

yup no way to watch nuggets or avs in denver (well not legally anyway)- pretty disappointing greedy companies making fans suffer

Looks like you can watch the away games this week at Brooklyn's connected to the Pepsi Center. They better get this fixed by the time Nuggets season starts.

Evidently, the Avs Reddit site has several posters who have access the Avs games. And then you can cast it from your phone to your television using Chromecast. But as you point out, it isn't legal.

4-0 after 1.
