I watched everything.
Sure, this is always the excuse for every goalie for some of you.
“if the team played better”.
The team doesn’t have quite the firepower of the Oilers, just due to McDrai. That’s why the Oilers won with their goalies having worse numbers than Blackwood.
But I will say, Colorado should have won that series against a undermanned Dallas team.

It’s overdue. The stars aligned for an easy cup win but they’ve been failing at the first sign of adversity in the playoffs outside of that

Dumb....
He didn't trade Rantansn.
Ratansnrn tying goal was very lucky. The penalty call was questionable given gsme situation

Well if we’re being technical it was with 3:56 left, and I said, with less than 4 minutes left.

Lmao. I would like to see the Ducks take the chance on Carle but I am also concerned that he hasn't worked a single day in the NHL at any level. Most coaches in the NHL have some experience in lower roles on NHL coaching staffs or the AHL at least.
I have these concerns with the Ducks looking to be a playoff team again. Colorado is looking to make the most of the remaining window years they have with Mack and Makar. Can they really afford to wait out potentially three or more years for Carle to adapt to the NHL?
Seems like people are pushing this idea because Carle has an admittedly impressive resume of success outside the NHL but wouldn't have to move to take the job.
Didn't want to pay Kadri -> end up paying more trying to patch up the hole at 2C left by Kadri, but without succeeding.
They “lost the lead” when Dallas tied it at 2. Second goal was at 13:46 of the 3rd

Fascinating comment considering Chris Drury was one of the best playoff players the Avs ever had who scored a bunch of clutch and borderline ridiculous playoff goals including at least one overtime goal against……Dallas.

Right, then he went to Buffalo and now he’s cursed. Pretty clear what happened. Voodoo.

This is the reason the Avs had to reset. Cap casualties immediately after the cup win.
The Sakic/Forsberg era had the team completely retool itself between cup victories. The Avs had to add depth at the deadline this year, but adding that much almost always messes with chemistry and the team that makes that much change pretty much never wins.

He got that Buffalo “sauce” on him and now he can’t wipe it off.

It's so much worse than that. CMac re-signed a bunch of guys and had no cap room left for Kadri. The situation bled into August 2022, he tried to trade Erik Johnson ($6M) to Anaheim and it was about to go through, but EJ had second thoughts and exercised his NMC. And hilariously/tragically, Landeskog went on the LTIR for years, so they would've had room in the end.
Everyone knows the rest. 2nd round pick for Eller; FC for Johansen; 1st rounder to dump Johansen; Byram for Mittelstadt; 1st, 3rd, Ritchie for Nelson; Mittelstadt, 2nd, Zellers for Coyle. Not to mention 2nd and 3rd round picks for Colton and Trenin (respectively). Need I remind everyone, the Avalanche had Kadri and Compher, for crying out loud.
