GDT: Avalanche vs Maple Leafs 03/08/25 @5:00PM MNT (Emergency GDT) Post deadline clarity

[Ararana]

It's been one period and I'm completely enthralled with Brock Nelson.

 

[dahrougem2]

JD taken off line 2? Colton there now.

A huge concern is going to be Drouin's iniury that he likely needs surgery to fully heal from.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Really liking Nelson so far

 

[AVSfan2daMAX]

it's great having a 2nd line again

 

[Muffin]

3 goals on 9 shots for Blackwood…

I mean they were all good shots but we could've used a save on one of them

 

[NorthernAvsFan]

Good period.

Need to start getting some stops. Keep hammering away.

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Leafs are 3 for 3 on their scoring chances

Avs are like 2 for 15

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

They look phenomenal but Blackwood does not.

 

[The Shermanator]

Damn we went from Easy Stanley Cup to Are we making the playoffs in half a period.

 

[Snow Arc]

Good period, not skeered

 

[AvsWraith]

Dallas is gonna make us their prison bitch in the playoffs if we don't tighten up in the defensive zone.

 

[forsbergavs32]

Great shift by the Nelson line to end the period

 

[Tralfamadore]

Nuke Nelson duo looks promising.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

What a smart play by Nelson. Liking him a lot (other than the confusion on the 1st goal)

Avs as a whole need to fix the f***ing turnovers

 

[missionAvs]

Really like Nelson. I hope CMac is working on that contract extension. BBW looks bad tonight. I would start Wedgewood for the 2nd.

 

[wayninja]

We've come full circle to the start of the season. Need our fantastic offense to bail out bad goaltending

 

[TheForsbergShow]

It doesn't matter if we win or lose this. I just want to see our 2nd/3rd line develop some chemistry. Nelson could've had like 3/4 points that period.

 

[CobraAcesS]

That was just fun to watch, some rough bounces but we were the better team in that period.

Just keep up the intensity

 

[Avs9296]

We're gonna beat these f***s. We're playing well but a little sloppy in our own zone. Blackwood needs to make 1 of those stops for us too.

 

[pont]

Nelson and Nuke already look like they have great chemistry. This Nelson kid may be pretty good, no?

 

[sethro109]

Just one mistake after another. f***ing hell. I know it's new line combos and two new guy, but come the f*** on. The chemistry shouldn't be THAT bad.

 

[NMAvsman]

Yeah Nelson is a keeper....He completely changes the dynamic of the second line and makes it nasty.

 

[landstuhltaylor]

The biggest difference from before the deadline is that I'm not worried at all after a start like that. Team is dangerous up and down the lineup, next goal can come from anywhere.

 

[Snow Arc]

Maybe Blackwood contracted something from Georgiev last game

Sigh. They both used protection.

 

[Avsfan1921]

Not an ideal period, but a lot to like. They were the better team, just need to tighten up on errant plays and get some timely saves
