Parise has been excellent so far since joining the avs. Great defensive player and you can really tell he's giving his all when he's on the ice. The effort from this guy has been unbelievable!
I remember all the trouble he gave the Avs while he was a member of the Minnesota Wild. I'm super stoked to have him on our team for this cup run ... Odds are low it will happen, but they'll have to play the games. Best of luck Zach & the Colorado Avalanche!
MN-Native, now living here in CO (for the past 25yrs). ZP is one of the faster guys on the ice, and you know he's giving 100% every shift; you can see it. He makes (sorry to say it) Cogliano, another player well past his prime, look like a Men's League player lost in an NHL game. I sure hope the Avs can make deep run, for many reasons, but also for Parise. Go Avs!
Parise is a great addition, but Cogliano is still a warrior. I promise you there will be at least one or two key moments in these playoffs where you're glad Cogs is on the team.
Also a MN native and been in CO now for almost 20 years. I have a “I married a NATIVE” sticker on my car, LOL Always remained a Vikes fan but started following the Avs when we lost the North Stars so it was an easy transition to have a home team when I moved here in 2005.
@@thenextgreat8652 Haha! Nice. I actually moved here in '96, after I graduated from Mankato State. The Avs moved here that year, and as you know, won the Cup their 1st year, the first of 3. I'd sure love to see the Wild win won, fer'pete's sake. Go Avs (and Wild, too)!
@@user-sx5dc4sz2z Awesome. Although I didn’t go to Mankato St. I spent a lot of time in Mankato in my early 20’s as I dated a girl who grew up there. Have some crazy stories from that town, LOL. Funny as that was right around the time you would’ve been there as well so it’s possible our younger selves crossed paths at some point 🤔
The Avs line depth is going to be a huge problem to every team in this playoff series. They have outscored their occasionally poor defense plenty of times this season, and if they can put 25+ goals past the Jets who had the best defense in the league, then everyone is going to have a very tough time playing them.
Yes, Mac would get it first, then probably hand it off to Zack next. I’ve seen it with a couple different teams with guys finally getting a Cup. Last one I saw was Toews handing it first to Kimmo Timonen in 2015.
@@Co_avsnation yeah when landy was playing rant n makar rotated wearing the A for the 3rd capt. There's also been rumors MacKinnon has been asked if he wanted to wear a C since landy had no chance coming back last season n the rumor is he said landy is still his captain.
