GDT: Avalanche vs Stars, Round 2, Game 6, 5/17/24 @8:00PM MNT: I don't wanna golf yet!

[wayninja]

Yeah, and you know that guy always seems fresh for OT. Somehow.

Suspiciously so

 

[Snow Arc]

They died so the Nuggets could live.

 

[El Travo]

I'm honestly not even upset. Disappointed? Sure. But they didn't roll over and die at the very least. The boys got dealt a shit hand for Game 4 and almost pushed it to 7 after being down 3-1. F*** Nishushkin and his selfish ass. We were already struggling this series and he royally f***ed over the team.

Georgiev certainly redeemed himself in my eyes. He kept us in this series when we didn't belong. Hats off to him.

 

[AvsWraith]

And when Chris Wagner is your best faceoff option. Forget about it...

 

[UncleRisto]

I'll say this just one time quickly and then we don't talk about it anymore.

We scored one goal.

Who scored it?

 

[wayninja]

I think he’s good enough, but I also think everyone on the team is just too comfortable.

He's not anything. He's Chat GPT in a suit.

 

[henchman21]

Dude. Colton is way overpaid and is just not very good. Just accept it.

I don’t think Colton is very good… he’s an average 3C and paid like it. Going against Johnston/Seguin/Duchene… is just not in his ability.

 

[AegonLeConqueror]

dallas skated circles around us in OT and when we did get the puck, we fumbled it at the blue line and went offside.

I refuse to use bad ice as an excuse because Dallas seemed to have no issues.

 

[BigCKU]

In the end Avs didn’t deserve to win. Can’t win when the Avs 6 best skaters get outplayed by the Stars 6 worst skaters in a series.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Nuke or no Nuke, our star players just didn't step up. The depth did a ton of heavy lifting but really needed the guys making 9-12 mil to do something.

100% agreed with this. MacK looked better this game, but how many giveaways this game came from Rantanen just standing still and reaching for a puck, or MacK doing a fly by because the puck wasn’t perfect?

I'd like to see new assistants for next season, a couple different voices in the room without letting Bednar go.

I both agree and disagree.

The Avs top stars were mostly invisible in this series except for games 1 and 5.

However, if Nichushkin isn't the world's dumbest athlete, Drouin returns for game 4 and the Avs can finally run a proper top six while slotting Parise into the bottom six where he belonged.

Just wasn't meant to be this season.

The Avs have to find a way to tinker this roster yet again.

I believe we've seen the last of Nichushkin, Parise, Trenin, Cogliano, Duhaime, Walker, and JMFJ. Outside chance of Drouin but I really hope they find a way to keep him. This team needs high-end offensive creativity.

He's paid like an above average 3C, and he's not. In fact he loses most matchups against most other teams 3rd line, not just Dallas.

 

[Avs_19]

Parise was never one of us.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

I'd like to see new assistants for next season, a couple different voices in the room without letting Bednar go.

100%, get guys that have a different mindset and may actually challenge Bednar to keep him at the top of his game.

 

[AegonLeConqueror]

100% agreed with this. MacK looked better this game, but how many giveaways this game came from Rantanen just standing still and reaching for a puck, or MacK doing a fly by because the puck wasn’t perfect?

MacK is my favorite player but holy f*** was he infuriating to watch. I dont think I saw him try to chase the puck once

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

Colton Wood make 6.5 million for a lot of years. They need to be a good third line that can play physical.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Parise was never one of us.

I liked Parise, he played hard, but you could tell Father Time had gotten to him

 

[katfude]

I'll say this just one time quickly and then we don't talk about it anymore.

We scored one goal.

Who scored it?

Some lazy f*** who just happened to be standing in the right spot

 

[Alex Jones]

I don’t think Colton is very good… he’s an average 3C and paid like it. Going against Johnston/Seguin/Duchene… is just not in his ability.

I think a lot of people on here got convinced that Colton was a skilled two way guy that could tilt the ice as a 3C but turns out he's just another skate fast plug for our bottom 6.

 

[wayninja]

I want to see a blanket party. We deserve it.

 

[katfude]

I liked Parise, he played hard, but you could tell Father Time had gotten to him

Yep that injury turned him into a pumpkin

 

[The Merchant]

f*** 'em

 

[Heyduke]

I’d say it’s more that the bottom-6 just wasn’t consistently dangerous. The team doesn’t have that cheap top end talent that allows you to fill out a roster. The Avs amateur scouting team has really f***ed up any chance at a sustained window

Our bottom six would have been huge with LOC on the 3rd line and Parise where he should have been, on the 4th.

 

[Avs_19]

I know it hurts now but soon we’ll remember we’ve got Miles Wood for another five years. Blessings.
