GDT: Avs @ Blues | 5pm MT | Non-Emergency Emergency GDT

[the_fan]

This is a day of better teams losing in the NHL.

We lost
Jets lost to Utah
Panthers lost to Sens
Bolts lost to Sabres
Stars lost to Penguins
Canes lost to Bruins

Hockey is just weird sometimes

 

[Metallo]

Vesey is absolutely horrendous. Why was he even a throw in to that trade lmao

Yeah there are guys in Loveland better than him.

 

[Balthazar]

Nuke them out for a special night

Yeah they all spent the night in Montreal before their game there. Then the following day Girard didn't play against the Habs and Mack played his worst game of the season (and Mack hasn't been the same since TBH).

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Vesey is absolutely horrendous. Why was he even a throw in to that trade lmao

We wanted them to take de Haan because we got Lindgren(D for D, contract dump de Haan).

They wanted us to take Vesey because they got Parssinen(F for F, contract dump Vesey).

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Necas
Drouin
Manson
Girard
Landeskog(???)

We have 5 guys who have 13 days to be ready for the playoffs.

I guess that’s all that matters.

Would also be nice to have Nuke, Lehky, and Blacky getting their heads out of their asses by then.

 

[Balthazar]

Vesey wasn't an NHLer before the trade and he still isn't one today.

And Tucker Poolman no?

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Can’t have 1D, 2D, 1C, 1LW, 1RW, and 2C at the bottom of these charts and expect to win.

 

[nammerus]

No functional 1st or 2nd line. Garbage goaltending. Basically the guide to playoff success.

 

[BaconNater]

Whoa the Avs top Dawgs sucked really bad and they still almost won? Hell yeah that's good news.. now the top Dawgs have to turn it on

Funny thing is, Parssinen has the exact amount of points for NY as Vesey does for us. Both with zero points but Parssinen has played 2 more games than Vesey. So we won the trade

Toews and Makar

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Toews and Makar

Both gave zero f***s defensively on every shift tonight. They just watched St. Louis cycle the puck and move it into high danger areas, they did nothing. Toews even got out of the way of a couple of shots lol

 

[a mangy Meowth]

Kinda glad I had to miss this one

 

[Bender]

Yeah the top guys played like wet ass - especially MacKinnon - who hasn't given a shit defensively in a few weeks.

I'm a big proponent of not necessarily playing your best when it truly doesn't matter so I'm not really pissed - I didn't enjoy watching that horseshit of a game but I don't care.

Congrats to the bLose on playing their best hockey at the most important time of the year - 15 games before the playoffs.

One thing is for sure, we have THE WORST special teams coach in the league and it's not close. Someone please tell me this guy is going to frikkin' retire after this year or will not be renewed ??!?!?

 

[Pokecheque]

Lehkonen has been shit for 10+ games now. He needs to figure his shit out. He's not the forechecking monster he used to be. Now he just glides in the middle of the ice hoping MacK gets him the puck.

He has to be hurt.

 

[Bender]

Nolan Pratt is responsible for our PK.

Blame that goof!

Then he's f***in' clueless...

 

[chet1926]

Lol on anyone scared by St Louis... They are mid, surviving on hot goaltending, fortunate reffing and good luck right now. The second Binnington decides to start playing like his norm, they are f***ed. Their system is unsustainable, that team looked completely gassed after 30 mins. We rolled 4 lines with a so so effort and almost came back. We absolutely dominated the 2nd half of that game and we could have cared less

Exactly why St Louis isn't remotely scary. All our top guys had ass nights where they could have cared less, but we still came back to make it at least interesting.

What St Louis is doing is completely unsustainable. I mean we crushed them in shots and offensive zone time with minimal effort from our top guys and at least 4 key guys out of the lineup.

 

[Balthazar]

Remember how unexpectedly good the Bruins were for 2 years under Jim Montgomery in the regular season?

Remember what they did in the playoffs?

Makar - 27:32
Toews - 23:14

MacKinnon - 25:29
Nichushkin - 24:26
Lehkonen - 22:01

Brother, does that look like we rolled 4 lines? Top 5 played almost half the game.

 

[the_fan]

Who was it that said we had one of the easiest schedules to end the season? We have one of the most difficult schedules. Got Vegas next, then Nucks, and Kings Ducks back to back on the road to close out the season. Not to mention the teams we played recently. It’s a hard schedule

 

[Balthazar]

Makar - 27:32
Toews - 23:14

MacKinnon - 25:29
Nichushkin - 24:26

Good thing we added a lot of depth at the deadline.

They no longer care about the 2 points.

 

[dahrougem2]

I think we gotta take a step back and realize that this team knows they are locked into the 3rd seed. They're simply waiting for the playoffs. It's why there has been line expirimentation.

If they lay an egg games 1 and 2 of the 1st round, then yeah we can point to this as potentially a major red flag.

However, to me it looks like guys are just biding time for playoffs to begin.

I'd honestly rest Lehkonen the remainder of the season. Call up some plugs from the AHL, let em get some big league pay and pray Lehkonen figures his game out.
