Rantanen is playing like he's recently had a lobotomy

Broken landy wont move the needle. Need Landy AND someone else. They have no money to do much of anything to improve the way the did the cup yr. This is why failing at the draft table hurts when you need cheap good players not cheap shit players like Parker Kelly

We do need bunch of things to do anything in the playoffs this year. Landy coming back will help a lot IMO. If nothing else it will motivate the team and bring the leadership that’s been missing.

Other than that we still might need a 2C if Mitts doesn’t get going, and we definitely need 2 d-men. Malinski has been in a dog house, and we can’t have a de Haan Middleton pairing in the playoffs.

So yeah, we do need a lot this year to do anything in the playoffs. Not to mention staying healthy which they haven’t done all year

Lmfao, we end up with more shots making it look like we actually tried

This team is so broken. The PP is udder trash. Their want to 70% of the time is at a preseason level. You can't get down 3-1 and then decide to start trying with 15 minutes left. Just a gross effort today vs a team that isn't very good right now with all their injuries.

 

[AnimalMother73]

I just don’t understand how you don’t get up for a game like this. You’re at home, playing a team that’s missing 3 key players. Yeah the Avs are missing couple of players too, but this is a winnable game if they gave a shit. Not sure what the deal is with this team

They need something different substantially different new coach trade a star player I don’t care team is totally stale

 

[sethro109]

Another pathetic effort and loss from this team today. I didn't think Bednar has lost the room, but I think his message is stale. Our players shouldn't only start giving a f*** the last 5 minutes of the game.

They started trying with 15 minutes to play, and Minny just went into shutdown mode.

 

[MonsterMack]

Bednar is gonna be pissed in his presser

 

[Grigowski]

Where is Herb Brooks when you need him.....

Let them backskate until they vomit

 

[AvsWraith]

Your move, CMac. This team will be eliminated in the first round.

 

[MonsterMack]

Middleton (Wild) is such a twat

 

[Avaholic19]

I think we should just get comfy with the avs in a wild card spot

 

[wayninja]

All in all, fun game

 

[Tom155]

well deserved loss, pathetic effort

Most fire rants has shown in several games

 

[Snow Arc]

Sucks... huge suck

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Mikko, you suck. STFU. If you cared that much and tried that hard, maybe you don't lose to a shit squad and a goon like Jake Middleton.

Bednar is gonna be pissed in his presser

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Bednar is gonna be pissed in his presser

No he won't.

 

[sethro109]

Middleton (Wild) is such a twat

Mikko should have just slashed the shit out of him. We weren't winning anyway. Now he'll probably take a stupid penalty cross checking him next time we play them.

 

[Pokecheque]

I don't get it, how does this team go from that effort against the Oilers, to the effort against the Stars, to the effort we saw today!? Makes no sense.

I suppose one key difference might be that the two bookend teams on this actually have the speed to keep up with the Avs, whereas Dallas might not.

 

[drhiii]

Upside. Been a Fleury fan since his Day 0. So that.

This team does not deserve MB.

Much more, but ya'll's say it.

I agree. I don't think he lost the locker room because they showed out against Dallas, but I think they are starting to get frustrated faster when things don't go their way.

And for how good the Avs are on transition, they f***ing SUCK at cycling and keeping possession in their own end. Despite being a fast team, opposing teams don't seem to get tired playing the Avs meanwhile, the Avs get hemmed in their own zone and get destroyed because other teams cycle at will.

Bednar really had the boys fired up for this key, divisional matchup to go from 4th place to 2nd place.

 

[the_fan]

Could use someone like Kadri right now. We don’t have enough player with fire. It’s pretty much Nate and that’s it. In games like this we need couple of guys who will bring some emotion and fire to wake the team up

We also should be glad that Mittelstadt finally turned it around.
