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

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

Do you think it's injury related? I think Bednar blames him for the second goal. I know Manson laid a bad pass, but he needs to be more aware there.

 

[wayninja]

Sigh. They both used protection.

Then it's not true love

 

[Avsfan1921]

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

History loves to repeat itself

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

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

I think we are too excited to focus on defense.

 

[Bender]

What a joke of a first period - not sure I've ever seen a puck bounce MORE for one team in a single period of hockey in my life. Every bounce went their way - lol

leafs have horseshoes up their collective asses

 

[Metallo]

We are outskating and outplaying them but we are doing stupid shit like forced passes and weak D coverage. We got to settle down with the excitement and be more methodical and we will skate circles around them.

History is a f***ing dick

 

[CobraAcesS]

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

Blackwood will lock it down all three goals were lasers top shelf corner.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

They look phenomenal but Blackwood does not.

Well, he's kinda due for a bad game. Hasn't really had a stinker here yet.

 

[Balthazar]

1- Nelson was great

2- Made us realize that all those trades mean nothing if Blackwood turns back into NJ Blackwood.

Bednar at some point needs to adjust so that the forwards stop leaving the defensive zone so early. These forced stretch passes are just turnovers waiting to happen

 

[forsbergavs32]

Not great, but whatever. Settle down a bit and come back out and score some more goals

 

[Avsfan1921]

Yeah. I certainly don’t fault him even if I’d have hoped for a save on one.

 

[Avs425]

We are winning this game

 

[CobraAcesS]

Yeah. I certainly don’t fault him even if I’d have hoped for a save on one.

Yeah, I'd like one stopped too. Stolarz gave them a couple big stops.

 

[forsbergavs32]

Yeah. I certainly don’t fault him even if I’d have hoped for a save on one.

Yeah, not the best period from Blackwood but he's been great 95% of the time since he got here, he deserves a bit of leash here.

 

[Metallo]

None of those goals were on BW. Post and in and top top shelves. It's on the defense to be better at coverage. Also Leafs won't always be perfect on shots.

 

[Grackle Party]

Nelson is the anti-Mitts, loved what I saw.

bonus hitting the post first shift is very 2025 avs

 

[forsbergavs32]

Just saw some highlights, did you guys know that 2Cs are allowed to throw checks?

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

1- Nelson was great

2- Made us realize that all those trades mean nothing if Blackwood turns back into NJ Blackwood.

What it made me realize is that the Avs are way too dependent on Blackwood making the big save, they just love to feed other teams top tier turnovers

 

[CobraAcesS]

The skill, and the jam on this roster is evident though. This is a jacked top team is the league they're tilting the ice against.

Kadri has a call with the DoPS because of that 1st period.

 

[CobraAcesS]

Yeeeeaahh, loved that from Nelson. He's going to bring the pain down low on occasion.


Full Nelson

 

[sethro109]

That's a f***ing lie. How else do you explain Kadri's suspensions?

 

[pont]

Just saw some highlights, did you guys know that 2Cs are allowed to throw checks?

I thought they were only allowed to avoid them?
