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

[S E P H]

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 funniest aspect in all of this is if we benched Makar/Toews, we would have won.

 

[Balthazar]

I think we gotta take a step back and realize that this team knows they are locked into the 3rd seed.

I agree. Toews not staying in front of shots makes RIAL angry but it's likely the smart thing to do at this point.

As long as they don't take bad habits I'm fine with not winning all the games.

To me the true worrying parts right now are Blackwood and injuries.

No, no. I don't care about that.

Here's what pisses me off... he jumps out of the way but puts his stick in there. Watch the first goal. The puck deflected off his stick and skyrocketed top corner on Blackwood. No chance stopping that ramping up off of Toews' stick.

If you're going to be a p***y and jump out of the way, then give your goalie a chance. Don't try to block/deflect it with no strength on your stick just poking it towards the player. You're never going to stop the momentum of a hard shot like that, it's just going to rocket up past your goalie into the top corner.

I think it's fair to lump Blackwood in with them if the boys realize they are locked in.

No it's different for goalies.

When you have nothing to play for and are going through the motions (like everyone on the board thinks), you actually play your top players more so they’re fresh for the playoffs.

That just means players were going through the motions but Bednar wasn’t

 

[chet1926]

That isn't the Blues A squad either as they are missing their best defenseman in Parayko and one of their top forwards, certainly their hottest in Holloway.

The Blues are healthier than Colorado but definitely are not full strength and depth either

Lol. So basically you are missing a 2nd liner and Parayko... And somehow you managed to almost a blow a 4-0 lead against a team missing 2 Top 6 dmen and a 2 or 3 top 6 forwards, who not mention have virtually nothing to play for, since we've already clinched playoffs and really our position can't change.

We still got your A effort and virtually your top team. While fielding the C roster on the last game of a road trip, where winning isn't super important at this point.

Any post-game comments about Girard, or did Bednar/AltitudeTV still pretend he doesn't exist?

These were the riveting post-game comments from Bednar with one interviewer(Altitude):



A whole 1 minute and 22 seconds.

If you guys could only eat one food for rest of your lives, what would it be? And by just one food, I mean just one thing and not variety, like American food or Mexican food etc… just one particular food

I had to think hard about this, but for me it would be a steak

Sushi.

Banned

I've never had banned before. Is it any good?

Pizza. There are so many options and you can hit basically every food group.

I think you should probably pick salmon. Or something a little weird like duck.

I assumed this isn't a fun game and I die if I pick badly.

Chickpea pasta is really the only answer.

I couldn’t eat just salmon or duck for rest of my life. It’s a real tough choice. Think about it. You can only eat one thing for rest of your life. That means morning day and night, you get to eat just that one food. What would it be so you can survive and don’t get too sick of it that you can no longer eat and die!

It’s gotta be things like steak, pizza, burrito, burger etc…

Steak for sure. Last year I did an elimination diet and only ate steak for a month. Every meal. No problem for me

 

[Avs9296]

Didn't think I'd be saying this when the trades went down, but I'm actually happier that Coyle is the one under contract for next season and not Nelson.

Nelson just hasn't fit in at all yet. A little worrisome.

Yeah, I think probably salmon. You've got options in there.

Steak is the easiest to do for an elimination diet, though.

 

[Miri]

Blackwood was also shit. Gave them no hope in that first period.

Why? Because he let in a deflected shot by Toews stick into top shelf during Blues PP?

Dont be silly. The only goal he could maybe do better against was the second one.

 

[Ceremony]

I turned the game off after 4-0. I don't think I've stopped watching a game early since I got NHL TV for the 16-17 season.

Saint Louis are 100% winning the cup again this year. Make peace with that now.

 

[Avs2022]

We're going to play Vegas. We might as well just accept that. This team is too injured and doesn't care enough to fend off the blues.

I think that's what the plan has been. Play like ass, drop on playoff seeding, avoid Dallas.

Get a f***ing grip lmao, the Avs are not going 0-4
