didn’t Mitts look like he was going to be solid here for like the first 20-30 games and then his true colors showed? There’s no way he keeps up this pace over the long haul.
GDT: Avalanche @ Wild 03/11/25 6:00PM MNT (Emergency GDT) Can we make it 7?

Xenforo Cloud is doing server maintenance Thurdsay 13th at 9 AM GMT. Downtime is to be expected during the process. Server changes were implemented recently to cope with the traffic surge last week. This seems to be affecting the user login, so please anyone experiencing this, log out and clear the browser cache. We expect to have this issue solved once the maintenance is complete.

Matches the eye test. MacK and Necas were the undynamic duo last night. They looked absolutely gassed and in Necas' case, blind.

The fix for Drouin is to put him with MacKinnon.
Drouin - MacK - Nichushkin
Lekhonen - Nelson - Necas
I know they don’t want to break up the top line, but that line runs through MacK. It always has and it will continue to dominate even with the change.

Boring ass trap game. How can fans stomach watching that shit? It is so mundane.
I was literally laughing in OT, though. I've never seen a team have possession for basically the whole thing, and yet still be so horribly incompetent with the puck. They must have thrown the puck out of the Avs zone 4 or 5 times by mistake. It was comedy. You could hear the home fans groaning hahah. Also frustrating that we never really managed to get a foothold, but Minnesota did a good job keeping the puck away from us, unfortunately for them, they did an even better job of keeping the puck away from our net.

Kudos to Mild for keeping the D structure tight, we naturally lacked the extra juice needed to get to the dirty areas. Nice to at least get a point from a tired effort. Short memory on this one, nothing to see here, moving on.
Huh. Guess it was key faceoffs where I was seeing them lose cleanly. The old J.T. Compher problem.
Then again I could be wrong there as well.

Drouin just looks hurt. Doesn't look anything close to as fast or fearless in battles as he did last year.
They simply didn't have the legs. I swear on at least a handful of occasions an Avs player (LOC was one for sure but there were others) would have the puck on their stick and try to get something going, only for a backchecking forward in green would skate up from behind to take it away. Avs are usually NOT the team that allows that sort of thing, certainly not O'Connor.
McGahey called it Sam's Club last night after the goal. I'll allow it.

He looked more then solid. He looked like he was the answer to the 2C issue and then November hit.
Well, it's two points in two games. While that is quite literally a PPG it's an extremely small sample size.
Honestly I think he'd actually do okay if he stays in his current role. I don't think he is a true 2C, he requires softer minutes and fewer minutes as 3C, that's where he put up the good numbers in Buffalo, and was unable to sustain as a 2C in Denver.
