Their defense may be a bit thin at the bottom end, but that is one solid and deep Avs team otherwise.

Good test for the guys to open things up.

The memory of the playoff defeat is still lingering, and That Darn Puppet is seeking to start the season on the right note in the most epic fashion:

Excellent work!

I would have also accepted That Darn Puppet smashing the Avs logo with a bone a la the apes at the beginning.

David Rittich v. Colorado:

Three wins in four starts, and he was 2-0 v. the Avalanche last year, with a 2.50 GAA and a 0.918 SP.

I could probably do half the season using 2001 references alone.

Morning buzz-kill — #Flames haven't won their season-opener since 2009. Brandon Prust scored the game-winner that evening, Mark Giordano contributed a goal and assist.

Season Opener is almost always guaranteed-lose night, so I'm not getting my hopes up. But what they, maybe they can break the streak.

Impulse decision; son and I headed to Denver for the game. Can’t remember last time I’ve been to a season opener so hopefully the luck changes. GFG!

I'm really hoping the Flames don't lay a stinker tonight as is tradition with Flames' season openers. Lots of talk about how the players have a sour taste in their mouth from last season's playoff series. No better way to rinse it out then to get right back at it against the team who beat them.

I never thought I would ever say this, but I'm looking forward to seeing how Lucic fits in and if he can bring an extra dimension to the team.
