GDT: Avalanche vs Wild Monday January 20th, 2025 @1:00 PM MNT (Emergency GDT) Their logo is bad, and they should feel bad.

Great save. I imagine this 4 sog, dead-brain pp performance wasn’t what Blackwood thought he’d be getting on his new team

 

[the_fan]

Come on, now give Blackwood some help and score. He’s bailing the team out

Wild are missing like 400 key players. Even if Makar doesn’t play, we should be able to beat them

Should, yes, but don't underestimate the Avs ability to play to the level of their competition. They have been doing it for years under Bednar.

This season alone they have lost twice to Chicago, to Nashville, and to NYI, lost at least 3 times to teams on the 2nd half of a B2B when the the Avs themselves were rested, and pulled out numerous stinkers vs. bad teams like Buffalo, Nashville, Anaheim, NYR, and San Jose. Not to mention they haven't been very good at home, 14-9-1 (They are...

What's wrong with the boxscore app that says the Avs only have 4 shots?

 

[Go19]

And Blackwood is not going to 4 Nations?

 

[RoyIsALegend]

This is arguably a worse performance than against the Oilers.

They have 4 shots on goal halfway through the game against a Wild team missing Kaprizov, Brodin, Spurgeon, and Johansson.

Pathetic. Truly pathetic.

We can’t complete two or three straight passes before f***ing up and turning it over.

Zero sustained pressure.

Zero intensity.

Dragging feet, chasing the play, stick infractions everywhere.

Completely not giving a f*** today.

These guys need to wake tf up. Blackwood playing lights out while these idiots are playing along the perimeter right into the wilds hands. Funnel the damn puck to the net

 

[sethro109]

Moose, WTF is with you today?

That 1st PP was an abomination once again.

It'd be one thing if this team was getting legitimate chances on the PP and not capitalizing. Then the fears would dissipate because they'd trend back up positively.

This team's top unit can't even get set up, when they do get set up every single player is standing still trying to pass through sticks and legs, MacKinnon legitimately stands on the left side of the ice and refuses to move unless he has the puck. It's embarrassing.

If I was Jared Bednar I would send a message to those guys. Next time the Avs get a PP, I would start Innala - Parssinen - Ivan up front.

This "shoot into skates" strategy seem risky

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Colton with a shot on net!

First shot in 15 minutes of play.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

What's wrong with the boxscore app that says the Avs only have 4 shots?

Nothing. That's how many they have through 28 minutes of play.

 

[Go19]

Can we burn that camera angle from above?

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Got a shot on net!

 

[Jasenr]

1 shot in half a period. nice

Bednar says the PP is not an issue.

Bednar says the PP is not an issue.

He needs to be kicked in the nuts

 

[Jasenr]

2 minutes of time waste incoming

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Waste of 2 minutes

 

[Go19]

See we can dive too

 

[MonsterMack]

Let's try to get a shot on this one

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Here goes another 2 minutes of PP with 0 shots on goal.

 

[Ceremony]

This powerplay will be the one that changes things!

 

[BobRossColton]

Decline decline

 

[wayninja]

This time the PP is going to be amazing

Hilarious listening to the minnesota crew whine about how easily Mackinnon went down
