GDT: Edmonton McDavids vs Colorado MacKinnons | 8pm MT | Colorado Gets a Wedgie

Screw it, start the rebuild. Even if they make the playoffs, they're an easy 1 round exit.

Any time someone says “screw it”, you know the most idiotic/unwise comment is about to ensue. Congrats!

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

The coaches are all out of answers, so are the players. Everyone keeps doing the same stuff, even though it’s not working, except they get progressively worse at it

 

[Balthazar]

This team f***ing sucks. The coach sucks. The GM sucks. Can't really think of a positive at this point.

Georgiev?

 

[dahrougem2]

I honestly think Bednar has actually played these guys into the ground. We need a long break.

No doubt about it he's played them into the ground.

Their brains are also looking tired and they're playing horribly as a result.

MacKinnon is once again 1st in TOI for forwards despite playing THREE LESS GAMES than Jack Hughes who is 2nd.

Unbelievable.

 

[AvsFan29]

What about his dumbass forced pass that resulted in a turnover like 5 seconds after?

Avs just can't put it together tonight. We've been the better team, but there's no execution. Been that way all season

 

[sethro109]

That’s not coming, check out the schedule over the next 2 weeks.

11 games in 18 nights starting on Tuesday.

We might be cooked.... Who am I f***ing kidding? We're definitely cooked.

 

[twostroke2023]

Man. That might have been some of the worst hockey I’ve seen them play in a long long long time. Maybe nuke did f*** up the locker room?

I don't buy it. Oilers very clearly outplayed us that period and are leading the game.

 

[Arch angel]

If Cale not on bench at beginning of 3rd … out till 2025.

Oilers spent like 3 minutes in our zone that period

 

[expatriatedtexan]

Sadly, the only thing actually working in this game is goaltending...I can't believe I'm about to type but Georgiev has been...fine.

Just had the same epiphony a few seconds ago.

He absolutely has been.

As much as I have busted on him in the past, I've got to give him credit when it's due. I'm trying to just slack off on busting on him anyways. It doesn't do anyone any good and I don't want to get too negative on anything anymore.

 

[Balthazar]

If Cale not on bench at beginning of 3rd … out till 2025.

and will lose the Norris once again

 

[forsbergavs32]

Georgiev?

Pretty much, can't fault him on either goal (so sarcasm). The first one was Mack and Makar with their heads in their asses and the 2nd one was a good tip by Podkolzin with the assist from Mitts

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Nice of the Avs to mix it up where they are throwing away the second period the past two games instead of just the first period

 

[dahrougem2]

Avs just can't put it together tonight. We've been the better team, but there's no execution. Been that way all season

Better team?

Shot attempts 30-23 Oilers at 5v5
Scoring chances 16-11 Oilers
High danger chances 9-5 Oilers

This is their game. The Avs are lucky this game isn't 4-1

 

[Pokecheque]

Rants and MacK with quite possibly their worst period of the season. No f***ing idea what this power play is trying to accomplish.

Unfortunately Mittelstadt played a big part in that second Oilers goal. Had a terrible NZ turnover, letting noted speedster Leon Draisaitl catch up from behind and get the puck back, which set up the next faceoff in the DZ, then fails to tie up Podkolzin in front of the net. He’s playing like his stick weighs 25 pounds right now.

I'm all for blaming Mitts but on that 2nd Oiler goal they looked like they were 5v3 for several seconds before the goal. They were toying with us.

Oilers have been way less threatening. It's all fluff

 

[missionAvs]

Lol that replay of MittelJost on that Pod deflection. Come the f*** on man... So weak.

 

[Pokecheque]

I’m guessing the B2B is catching up to them.

 

[JudoKoala]

I hate this f***in' team

More like let's blow up this forum and all the Debbie Downers.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Both teams are on a back to back

 

[sethro109]

I call this "Drowned by George". Even though I don't blame him for the 2nd goal, or this game in general (yet). But more of a reflection of the season.

 

[dahrougem2]

Strongly disagree. The Oilers dominated that period and have dominated since the 10 minute mark of the 1st. Shots since that time are 19-8 Oilers.

I’m guessing the B2B is catching up to them.

Edmonton also on a B2B but one guy kills his top players nightly and the other guy knows when to hold off on doing that.
