GDT: Avalanche @ Blues

[ManyIdeas]

franks gonna take this game over soon

 

[Edgar Carrow]

Landeskog is holding and interfering pretty hard out there and it's a bit amazing it's not being called.

Was he the one hugging Steen (I think) as he was trying to cross the blue-line?

 

[ManyIdeas]

lol landy

 

[kagei]

They noticed Landy. PP time

 

[BlueDream]

Lol at Landeskog arguing. That's the 2nd or 3rd penalty he's taken this period.

 

[Oberyn]

What exactly is Landeskog arguing?

 

[Captain Creampuff]

Lol Landy with the lumberjack

 

[Edgar Carrow]

Poor Tarasenko.

 

[BlueDream]

time to tighten up the screws and slow it down. An up and down the ice game definitely favors the avs

Think we were the better team that spent more time in their zone though. Blues can play up and down easily, Hitch just doesn't want them to.

 

[The Note]

Franks gonna get one tonight. Wouldn't be surprised if Steen does as well.

 

[Robb_K]

Cheap penalty, but we'll take it. It gave Tarasenko that great attempt by Tarasenko in the last seconds, and will give them most of a power play on fresh ice at the beginning of The 2nd. Good chance to regain the lead.

 

[elkranio]

Tarasenko sucks!
Pretty entertaining game. Hope the guys will get better as the game goes on.

 

[LGB51]

Varmalov absolutely robbed Frank there.

 

[Captain Creampuff]

Frank could have like 50 goals this season by now.

 

[Meatball]

They'll start going in eventually, Frank. Hell of a save by Varlamov.

Hugging is too polite. Trying to ride Steen like a horse across the blueline, but Steen wasn't having it.

Problem is their forwards are so fast and our D other than Bouwmeester are relatively slow so playing this style is playing with fire and possibly getting burned

 

[ledzeppelinfan1]

Man I'm so greedy for Tarasenko to score goals. Lol. Haven't been so obsessed with a blues players production since hull.

 

[LGB51]

Elliot made some huge saves that period, he looks like he might be starting to come all the way back from that knee injury.

 

[ledzeppelinfan1]

Impressed hitch pulled Elliott there on that last draw. That's the aggression I like to see.

Shatty and Cole are pretty quick.

And it's not like Colorado has blazers on defense either, their 'D' is terrible. Plus guys like Duchene and MacKinnon have been underperforming anyways.

 

[ledzeppelinfan1]

Actually I'm easy more comfortable with track meet games than I used to be. We have the skill to keep up these days.

 

[Fred Murtz]

Carl Gunnarsson slapshot goal 1-0

 

[LGB51]

Second period starting!

 

[kagei]

Nice one. Steen takes advantage of the change and Schwartz buries his own rebound.
