GDT: Avs host Ducks Tuesday, March 16th 7pm MST/10pm AST/March 17th 4am EET/ 10am GMT

[Balthazar]

Good news everyone: Miska cannot lose that game now.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Avs really need a higher end player that is more cerebral, just someone who can calm the team down. We have a lot of really athletic guys that have mountainous highs and catastrophic lows

 

[wayninja]

Weird going into the 3rd with a tie game...

 

[Foppa2118]

That power play was drawn as a result of MacKinnon jumping on Hakanpaa to keep the puck in the zone, instead of just lazily watching him skate the puck out.

 

[sethro109]

It's now Gru's loss right? It's like he spotted them 4 goals.

 

[crue7]

If Gru wins this game, You better get a goalie Joe

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Donkey replaced Saad on the 2nd line and it paid off.

Hope Saad isn't injured

Probably a short benching for those two blind pass giveaways right before.

 

[MoreLikeTurdCrapley]

Yup.

 

[CobraAcesS]

Moser.. We had a hockey game from the beginning, but we just decided to start using an NHL goalie in the second period dude.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Mackinnon is playing the way he played in 2016. The guy who thought he wouldnt get more than the contract offered to him at the time.

 

[Go19]

Lauren needs to go down to the tunnel and interview Mack - maybe that will get the flow back

 

[Ginger Papa]

Burakovsky with some magic again

Line 2 once again

Bura!!

Bura!!!!

BURRRRAAAAA

Bura snipe!!!!

Bura's becoming a star

BURA! What a snipe!

Bura/Naz having a big night! Great passing play.

Thank you Bura, and thank you Ginger for the eventual quote.

Avs might prove @Northern Avs Fan correct.

Burasnipsky!

Bura!!!!!!

BURABOMB!

Burasnipesky!

BURAX2!!!!!!!1

Bura SNIPE!

Goal!!!!!!!

Lets go Bura!

The guys on this team love scissoring.

Burakovsky's shot is so pure. Best shot on the team

Ladies and Gentleman thats your new 1st line

What a brilliant East/West play by Donk to give Bura all that room. f***ing beautiful play

Give Bura a fortnight and it is sure goal.

Bura!!

 

[TanguaySauce]

I imagine Miller feels fairly similar now to what Miska did in the first.

Hockey is weird.

 

[Oblivion Beckons]

If Gru wins this game, Miska is absolutely done.

He should be done regardless.

 

[Spleenless Wonder21]

Mack really on the struggle bus

I feel like once he pots one with a goalie in net the floodgates will open. Hopefully. Maybe.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Mackinnon is horrible.

 

[AvsCOL]

I mean the writing is on the wall here for the Avs. Go get a goalie, and do it fast. Miska aint it

 

[The Kingslayer]

Elias Pettersson went through the same struggles early in the season that Mackinnon is going through. Mackinnon can get out of this he just needs to start skating and shooting the way he was against Arizona in his return game.

 

[forsbergavs32]

Mack really needs a non-empty net goal in a hurry, his confidence is super low

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

Mackinnon is horrible.

He was bad in that period, but I thought he was incredible in the first. He just had some rough puck luck.

 

[Avs_19]

I was wondering if Kadri got a stick on that. Looks like he did.

Either way, just a three point night for him. No big deal.

 

[MoreLikeTurdCrapley]

Mackinnon is horrible.

Nope

 

[jabubenice]

Not going to lie, now that Miska's out I feel some deep sympathy for him. I get it, it's a business, you're paid to do your job and if you don't do it, you're not going to be around for much longer. And I'm sure he gets it too, but, damn. You really just hate seeing someone's career crumble before your very eyes, you know? And then that feeling of not being good enough, of being worthless. Really sucks. I hope Miska doesn't take this to heart, he seems like a sweet guy. I know we all wanted him to do well. But, like I said, it's a business... It is what it is, I suppose.

well said!!

 

[Avsboy]

Mackinnon looks dominant at times, other times no. Not sure what's going on.

 

[Avs_19]

Elias Pettersson went through the same struggles early in the season that Mackinnon is going through. Mackinnon can get out of this he just needs to start skating and shooting the way he was against Arizona in his return game.

He hit two posts in the first period of this very game. I think he’s at maybe four posts since coming back.
