Rick Sadowski: Hejda practices, ready for Game 1

Good news, we need him back there. Hopefully him and Barrie are really good to go instead of injured but good enough to feel like they can play.

I was hoping the same thing. I just want to get this thing started, the anticipation is mounting.

Im hoping Elliott finds his way into the lineup for Benoit, want to see what the kid can do

Their defense is suspicious at best. No playoffs experience from most of their young players. MacKinnon is only 18. The team is on the way up and it will only get better. They reminds me on the Nordiques of 1992 to 1994. Great season for the Avs. The playoffs is only gravy from now on. Enjoy the ride, Avs fans

I think Semyon Varlamov is a heckuva a lot better goal tender than those Nordique/ Avs before Roy.

Varly breaking out this season has shown he has been the best we have had in net since Roy.

aebischer, budaj, theodore, anderson, elliott, its not really an allstar list since Patty

Hmmm. I would not put Varlamov in the same list as Roy just yet.

not to be a dink but you need to make it there first, hawks getting Toews and Kane back are not going to be an easy task

You guys are in a prime position to pounce on the blues. With Oshie and Berglund out, if you can steal home ice away from them, I think you guys have that series locked up. United Center during the playoffs is a hard place to win at. Cant see the Blues coming into your barn to steal games
