Damn Georgie made that save look easy. Absolutely no room for Gourde somehow despite a crazy bounce to the far side.
 
Anyone notice that avs hitting has been insanely awkward tonight? Like they can't quite decide if they want to make a hit until it's way too late

It's insane to me that some folks think he has positive value still.

He's legit worse than EJ at this point. Part of it is that I think he's trying to do too much, but yea he's awful.

It's like a kid using a yoyo for a wracking ball. Yeah he's heavy, but he's all the f*** over the place, and probably just gonna break when he smacks the wall one too many times.

Yup and George has played very well… this just is the same but opposite story of the San Jose game.

I don't actually think Drouin has been bad, but it's obvious that line is missing the heavy checker.

Mikko just gets a pass for being soft on the wall or cheating.

Both Drouin and Ryjo are doing what they do, slow it down, make slick passes, and neither look like they're floating.

Bednar needs to wake up and use them correctly, neither look unwilling to engage, but they're not going to turn into something they're not.


What kind of rose coloured glasses do you have on?

They’re both unengaged as you can get..and I’d love to get a clip of those slick passes you’re hallucinating into existence.

Don't bother quoting me, I'm not interested, and your opinion has been obvious well prior to any actual game action.

I'm not a f***in telestrator

I actually agree that Drouin hasn't looked too bad, his zone entry on PP2 was infinitely better than what PP1 was mustering.

Ryjo is a completely different story, the guy is a 100% a passenger.
 
I know people want G and Bo broken up, but with how JJ and Mason are playing, you really can't. The only other option is to also split up Makar and Toews and just full on shuffle the top 4.
Yeah, I mean I'd still split them up to see if Manson would work better playing with one of those guys as maybe it would calm him down a bit.

But ya kind of in a tough spot when your #5 and #6D are both playing like #8s at the moment.


I didn't think we needed another Dman to start the year but I also didn't expect Manson in particular to be this bad either.
 
It comes down to the system they play vs Seattle.

Bednar did adjust the deep forecheck in the the latter half of the period and the Avs started to out number the Kraken puck possessor. And played the body as Seattle received the puck or pass.
The personnel in the bottom six are much better suited to playing a different style of game now. Let's hope Bednar is wise enough to adapt to different teams rather than just sending 29 and 96 on the ice and praying.
 
Scoring chances are 16-14 Kraken, high danger chances are 6-3 Kraken.

Don't be fooled by the Kraken putting everything on net from literally everywhere, folks. They aren't dominating, nor are the Avs looking like chumps out there.

The Avs just aren't blocking shots (minus Lehkonen) while the Kraken are trying to block EVERYTHING possible.

40-60 xGF% is still domination. For comparison sakes, the Avs were 65-35 xGF% against the Sharks.
 
G is in my opinion cementing himself as the clear #3D on this team and the piece to keep.

Of course I don't actually watch hockey and just shit post here but it's just like my opinion.
