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

Yeah, unless we by some miracle win the cup again this year Bedsy needs to go. And if e suck with the next coach too next is CMac.

Nobody can score, again...

The depth is not great, but Bednar really should get more out of his lines. Purely a one line team. Either they dominate the game or the Avs can mark it as a loss.

Don't buy at the deadline, what's the point anyway unless you keep the guy for next season as well. This team is not going anywhere.

 

[Ceremony]

We stink. TheDizee is laughing at us. It's all over. Send the team back to Quebec.

 

[RECKLESS]

A commercial break on ViaPlay showed a clip of the '22 Avs Cup final.

Then going from that back to this game, hoo boy once again opened my eyes on how far this team is from that glorious year and roster.

Too many passengers that need an ass whipping for their work ethic and effort level.

I didn't see a lack of effort or work ethic. I thought they gave a worthwhile effort.

What i did see is a coach who keeps trying the same thing and seems to be running out of ideas. It took him until the 3rd period and being down 2 goals to try something different and it appeared early on that his brilliant plan was to double shift Kivicantclear.

The team was once again guilty of over-passing and just not getting people in front of the net for a rebound and an ugly goal.

Once Colton got shifted to a different line, he looked more engaged and played much better but by then it was too late.

It was nice to see Necas tries on a different line except for that shift he had with Kelly and LOC. WTF was that???

 

[niwotsblessing]

I actually didn't mind Kylington tonight, or Malinski, but those three should be 6-8.

Malinski was doing the dirty work on the boards and disrupting the cycle. Which isn't his strength.

I've got to give him some credit.

Malinski also produced half the goals the Avs scored this past weekend. Big Sam always plays better when he is away from DeHaan, Middleton, and Shillington- being paired again with Sammy G. demonstrates he needs a better 3LD by his side. Otherwise he is covering for guys who don''t belong in the NHL.

Bednar went full blender late in the game, even to the point of splitting up MacK and Necas. But fire wagon hockey when down by 2 is not the answer, and the lines need to be reorganized from the drop of the puck.

I will also note this team sucks without Nuke, his presence has always made a huge difference in the team's performance.
