Mackenzie Blackwood's Debut Was Everything Avs Fans Have Been Looking For In Net

[@tophercabba]

blacky was amazing his puck tracking and rebound control and 2nd save off rebounds were just yea amazing

[@Andriig75]

Punctuations' lives matter.

[@shaggyvondoom]

Puck tracking, what a wonderful new word we can now use lol

[@Avalanche8181]

Thanks for not feigning moral superiority and actually using the man's real nickname

[@alu.304]

Hey, I know I give you guys a hard time on here but great job running Han Solo, Kyle. Welcome back, Chris. The Team just plays different in front of the Wood Shed💪💪💪

[@shaggyvondoom]

No more trades now that Chris is back lol

[@qp2044]

Welcome back! Loved the first blackwood game...hoping that the team has recovered from the illness and is ready to dismantle the Canucks

[@shaggyvondoom]

Here here!

[@JeffFaFa728]

Mr. Von Doom did an admirable job while you were out Chris...but its great to have the band back together. Keep up the good work fellas.

[@melissataylor2777]

Welcome back Chris! I feel like We are buzzing right now, even with the virus going through the team. Hopefully everybody is healthy and past all that. If so, I feel like tonight could be a really good game for us!

[@melissataylor2777]

Also, I felt so badly for Anunun while he was watching his tribute video. You could see the emotion on his face. I think we made good decisions with the trades, but It is hard when you care about these players and When you know that if they had their way they would still be with us.

[@davidlyons6235]

Saw the highlights. Wow!

[@shaggyvondoom]

It was nice lol

[@c.saragian9502]

Kyle did a great job keeping the show rolling but it is awesome to have Chris back!!

[@rhyshall182]

Cant wait to see Blackwood's new helmet come in 💪

I have a similar story with a Red Wings fan.... When I was living in Kansas City Metro, a friend of mine was having an open house at the martial arts studio where he was training. He invited me and my family and we went to check it out. As we are walking in and being introduced to the owner, the owner of this martial arts place pointed to my shirt and said it'll be the last time I'm allowed to wear this shirt or any like it to his studio or I'll be tossed out. I looked down and realized I happened to be wearing an Avs polo. I looked at him in disbelief and without missing a beat, he said that he personally knows Darren McCarty as he is his best friend...no Avs gear in his martial arts studio.

That crane kick to his face you delivered must have hurt him

The socioeconomic status of Americans can be gauged by Disney World trips: those who have gone once, those who go every few years, and those with season passes 😁 I really wanted Georgie to succeed, and I hope he does better with a change of scenery. When he was on, he was great. He could probably have an outstanding career in the AHL. But it's eye-opening to see what a difference a bigger man in the net really makes. Blackwood is good at tracking and moving, but he also just has that advantage of physically filling the available shot space. This is exactly what the Avs need: someone who's pretty good, calm under pressure, reliably makes the saves he's supposed to make. I also get the feeling from what players have said - tactfully, nothing really overt, just a vibe - that Georgie simply wasn't a great personality fit.

[@LockedOnAvalanche]

We went 5 years ago when my son was only 6 months old so we had a 5 year plan to go again when he was older and could experience more. Who knows when we will go again, but I almost wouldn't want to be one of those people who go every year. I would get sick of it and I don't want to get sick of the Disney World experience.

[@matambale]

Point taken on Georgiev. Mac Blackwood is fleet-footed. Thus, soundcheck: Fleetwood Mac / Hypnotized

[@Dino-11]

I was a little upset about the moves when it first happened (Im still not sure its cup level tending and we got older loosing Juice) but yeah, they both look more calm in net. Im not holding my breath a puck from the dots is gonna flutter in.

[@evanienhuis182]

Heard Vancouver had the flu bug. Hoping our guys are doing better too! Go AVS Go!

[@hiranchbuff]

Had a similar experience in the Star Wars Cantina at Disney World in 2022. My wife and daughter and I shared a table with a nice (we thought) family from St. Louis. I was wearing my "Stanley Cup Champions" hat. I asked if they were Blues fans. The dad acted pissy and asked if I was proud rooting for a dirty team that crippled their goalie. It was not a comfortable hour.

[@UnquenchableHatred]

Ok, am I the only person that thinks Blackwood looks and sounds a little like Patrick Roy, he just resembles him guys, watch the interview, anyone? Also Chris its nice to have you back, of the ltir lol

[@edmonlessley4932]

❤️💙👋🏒

[@lj291261]

After just 1 game it way, way too early to judge Blackwood. Let’s see when facing the top teams. In that game, the defense did not such a good job as Blackwood got too many shots on goal.

[@petrpumpkineater]

Blackwood needs to be Log. What rolls down stairs, alone or in pairs, rolls over your neighbor's dog? Fits on your back, great for a snack? Its Log, Log, Log! Its Log, its Log, its big, its heavy, its wood! Its Log, its Log, its better than bad: its good!

[@LockedOnAvalanche]

Which is to say Christmas, as in Yule. Yule log. Not a log, I don't have a log. But, I mean, you know, if I had a log... ...not in the sense that you think I said I did. Good golly. 'Tis the season to be merry.

[@davidsimmons177]

You’re welcome - Sharks Fan 😂

[@rachle81]

Welcome back, Chris! Hopefully your vacation down here was fun and you enjoyed our (relatively calm and pleasant) weather and that the overlords who currently govern the Mouse didn’t swing you around by your ankles until every dime flew out of your pockets; used to work for the company and they’ve gotten awful of late re: trying to steal every cent from people…more than they did before, and that’s saying something. Surely you noticed, but Mister VonDoom did a fantastic job holding down the fort while you were out and even during an exceptionally crazy week! Hey, welcome home. We have goalies now, woooo!

[@LockedOnAvalanche]

It's definitely something you have to plan for. And having two little one who want everything they set their eyes on doesn't help. Haha

[@shaggyvondoom]

The boss is back we can all rest easy lol

[@rachle81]

@@shaggyvondoom But you did fantastic! Love watching and listening to you both but you were great at doing it solo. :)
