GDT: Avalanche @ Blues 2/23/25 4:00PM MNT (Emergency GDT) Still feeling Blue about yesterday.

[sethro109]

Are you drunk?

I'm flattered Lion, but I'm not into dude and lions. That furry stuff is just not my jam.

Bednar wants to kill Toews, Makar, Lehkonen and Mackinnon.

Honestly. The f***ing idiot has no idea how to properly coach. Every. Single. Game. "Go top guys" basically every 3rd shift up front and 2nd shift on D.

 

[The Kingslayer]

“Need to get in front of more pucks and skate a bit harder, boys. I like a lot of what we’re doing, just need to skate a bit more.”

Bednar’s intermission talk.

Guaranteed. Its been nearly 10 yrs man. The message is growing stale. It happens to every coach. Firing Bednar doesnt mean hes all a sudden a bad coach. Hes a great coach but it might be time for a new voice.

Might help if he had a proper top 6 forward group and top 4 D group to start with.

This is the kinda shit that got Koala face and Tippet fired in Edmonton.

 

[AvsWraith]

Can we stop with the "they are tired"? Every team plays 82 games. f*** with the excuses. They are just not working hard enough tonight.

No, I think it's a legit excuse for Cale, Toews, and MacK.

agreed

 

[Linds]

When can we fire JB?

 

[drhiii]

In car listening to radio. Said that was the worst AVs period this season.

Who else can Bednar give ice time to? No one else on this team is doing anything

 

[nammerus]

Another Mitts effect update:

Drouin xGF% 20%
Mitts xGF% 26%
Parsi xGF% 28%

Just chillingly consistent how often he turns anything to shit.

Not happenin with CMac. Look how long it took him to figure out Fourgiev wasnt he answer.

I'm telling you, it's been proven to work. It's not rocket science. When lines 2/3/4 are getting just slightly more minutes, not only are they more into the game but the top line is more fresh ESPECIALLY in the 3rd. It makes a world of difference in the long run, too.

Ditto the D pairs.

 

[Metallo]

No, I think it's a legit excuse for Cale, Toews, and MacK.

They played 4 games in 14 days. Big deal.

 

[pockets]

When can we fire JB?

Once they don’t make the playoffs or are inevitably bounced in the 1st round. And if they could fire CMac at the same time that would be wonderful.

It's either run the top guys or play the bottom nine and bottom four D, who everyone (rightly) says suck.

 

[AvsWraith]

Ross is -5 with 0 points in his last 10 games. 4M for that...

 

[lionsDen]

I'm flattered Lion, but I'm not into dude and lions. That furry stuff is just not my jam.

there ya go again not understanding what I’m trying to say. Not surprised

A shakeup I said buig and small.. rants is the big. A small or medium aqueung defensemen. And whatever else … yeah you’re drunk

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

LOL

That's where I'm at with this, they need fresh voices in the room because it's the same issues over and over.

1. Struggle with any team that applies pressure
2. Opposing players constantly wide open in front of our goalies
3. Stale PP
4. Losing every board battle
5. Forced seam passes in the O Zone
6. Forced stretch passes on the breakout

 

[Metallo]

No F goals in 5 periods since the break.

If you're losing, you might as well play Wood more and find some humour.

Was brought in to be the 3C and cant even be a 3RW/LW

 

[EdAVSfan]

To be fair, he’s not overplaying the top guys so far. Mack on pace for about 20 minutes. Top pair on pace for about 22-23

 

[The Pwnerer]

For whatever reason, guys that were brought in have taken a major step back. Do we blame coaching?

Wood, Colton, and Mittlestadt lead the blame game for obvious reasons. All guys are hitting career worst seasons or what seems like career worse play from them while wearing an Avs uniform. On paper these signings and trades had pretty sound reasoning for Cmac to make the move. Just mind boggling how far they are falling off and useless they are whether it's an injury or our system.
