It helps that Dallas took 6 PIMs. It's not gonna stay that one sided since the NHL doesn't train refs that way
GDT: [Emergency GDT, 3/16/25 1:30 MT] Avs vs Stars and the Battle for the Moose's Soul
- Thread starter MacKaRtin
- Start date
Necas getting traded wasn't a big surprise, Rantanen was. It's not really that hilarious or difficult to understand. Necas has been terrific this season, and will probably be terriffic with us going forward, but he's not the superstar in name that Rantanen is.
This is because DeBoer is outcoaching Bednar
All situations after 20:
Shot Attempts 32-8 Avalanche
Shots on Goal 13-5 Avalanche
Scoring Chances 17-2 Avalanche
High Danger Chances 6-1 Avalanche
xGF 1.53-0.22 Avalanche
Have to keep playing like this. Pressure, pressure, pressure on the Stars D. They can't make passes.

He'll be fine. It took Naz time to get adjusted and going. It took Mitts time after he was traded. He'll figure it out.
I watch that Oilers series a lot. That was a ton of fun.
How exactly? The only reason this game isn't 3-1 or 4-1 right now is Oettinger, not the guy behind the bench.
He should (and very well could) be. He’s been just as key to our offense this season as Rantanen was in past seasons.
It will likely forever be viewed as the Rantanen trade because of the fumble by Carolina, but it’s possible that Necas could be the best player involved.
Bednar tells guys not to score because he doesn't want to hurt Mikko's feelings
You've gotta give him some time. It's game 5 after over a decade playing for one organization and likely one specific way.
If those posts he's hit went in we're talking about a deadline acquisition who would have 3 goals and 1 assist in 4 games. He's going to be alright. It's just confusion, it's not a bad hockey player. He just ran into Nichushkin along the wall on his last shift. He's figuring it out.
I'll never understand Bednar putting Kelly against top lines. That pisses me off.
Bo Nix was in my section. He just walked past me. Thought he was taller lol
Maybe he will be, maybe he won't. But he has not been so far in their careers, and it really isn't taking anything away from Necas that this story is understandably focused around Rantanen.
Necas was going to be traded from Carolina at some point. Him being a part of this trade isn't really that remarkable.
Not true, he connected with Nuke late in the period.
Mind you it was because they ran into eachother.
Dallas had ONE shot by a forward the entire period, which was the Robertson goal courtesy of the referee. Four shots in total, with basically only speculative point shots.
Conversely the Avs are driving the play, leading12-2 in scoring chances. 3-1 in High danger chances. Need to turn that puck control into goals though.

I wouldn’t take too much out of the 13-4 shot difference.
We were on the PP for 6 of those 20 minutes.
Dallas will get the next couple of PPs. Furlatt will find a way to f*** us, guaranteed.

Yes if 3 shots that missed the net instead went in we'd be happier with him.
He better figure it out before the playoffs. Avs paid a high price for him and so far a re sign looks like a poor decision.
1 down 2 to go. Wanna see some of our deadline guys start chipping in offensively
Lol the intermission is all about how good of a forechecking team Dallas is and how good that forecheck was on their 1st goal.
Not one mention about how the Avs dominated the entire period.

I get it that he looks lost systematically, but you want that extra speed or extra grit or extra bite to his game. He doesn't need to be as physically dominant as Kadri was, but you just want a bit extra and he doesn't provide it IMHO. He has never had it, even with Islanders during his prime. I am still wishing him all the best and it is true he could have three goals by now with all the posts, but I want to see him more from him at boardbattles.
They just showed him on TNT. Just noticed how much older than his age he looks. Probably here to support his soul brother Brock Nelson
