GDT: [Emergency GDT, 3/16/25 1:30 MT] Avs vs Stars and the Battle for the Moose's Soul

Let me know when DeBoer outcoaching Bednar begins. I want to tune in and witness it.

Would be 8-0 Colorado without DeBoer's steady leadership behind the bench

 

[Elbombatzo]

pls dont turtle the 3rd

 

[sethro109]

10/10 period. No complaints.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Eddie O going to go on a rant how we are cheating somehow.

Last time, we were apparently cheating on faceoffs.

This Dallas D is just atrocious with the puck. They can't make passes or plays in the offensive zone to save their lives.

If you pressure and pressure, they don't know what to do with it. They've got three options:

1) Flip it out to nowhere
2) Rim around the boards
3) Eat it/turnover

Even short little support passes guys like Lybushkin, Ceci, and Lindell are incapable of making. Dumba, too, since he's seemingly lost all skill he entered the league with.

They had better pray Heiskanen's knee heals in time.

Exactly, they are going to armadillo instead.

 

[Markster]

It's not like the Avs have the Vezina winner in net but what a refreshing change it is to actually have some confidence in the goaler. As badly as the Avs are outplaying Dallas, this game would be 3-3 or even 3-4 down during the 4giev era.

God I hate the asshole.

 

[MacKaRtin]

This is what I can't understand, why Nill built out his D core this season in the same way that Dubas did in Toronto. One or two D with stick skills and the rest are lumbering oafs who can only bank off the glass and hunker down for the next wave against

 

[LOFIN]

He's playing Game 1 in playoffs for sure, ready or not

Kyper said that rumblings he's hearing might even rule him out for round 1, mid-round 2. And this was on a show last week, not after the injury and surgery.

It's amazing the level of unprofessionalism. How in the world is the production not telling him to be more balanced?

Always been a piece of shit and never changed

 

[BobRossColton]

Brockstadt going to seal it for us..

 

[wayninja]

Drouin couldn't replicate that shot if he tried 1000 times. I still can't even understand how he did it watching it in slow mo.. the end over end spin is really something

 

[Avaholic19]

Am I going to get lynched if I say I have been liking ross lately?

 

[MacKaRtin]

Always been a piece of shit and never changed

His wife left him when he was coaching a game in Colorado, he deserves our sympathy

 

[JoeSakic13]

I love how that grease ball Duchene gets booed every time he touches the puck.

Is Rantanen getting booed? He has barely touched the puck so I can’t tell.

 

[McMetal]

This is absolutely smothering by the Avs. 75% of the time, they can't get a zone exit. If they do get a zone exit, they turn it over in the neutral zone. And if they manage to get a clean zone entry and establish possession in our zone, they almost never get a shot on goal out of it. DeBore getting wrecked up and down the ice.

The Holiday Armadillo?

 

[Richard88]

Gotta love that we have 4 lines. Bednar has been giving shifts to the 4th line against Dallas' top line and it's working nicely with Drury and O'Connor over 75% Corsi.

Dallas simply can't keep up with the Avs skating. They tried pushing things offensively and putting the puck on the net more but the Avs have closed lanes and pushed the puck quickly up ice to keep Dallas on their heels.

Feeling pretty good about our chances in round 1 right now.

Without Miro playing 30 minutes, Harley is the only one capable of making a good pass under pressure.

Ceci can do it when he’s not challenged by a forechecker. Everybody else is a disaster flipping picks hopelessly into the neutral zone.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Come out, get one on this PP, and put the game away.
