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
I remember seeing that and thinking it wasn't that big a deal at the time but rewatching it now, man I agree with Roy, he celebrates way too much there
Pokecheque
Whack it Hard to Girard
So a lot of you might disagree but I didn’t like Wedgewood’s game today. He seemed like he was fighting the puck a lot (gave up a TON of bad rebounds, including the one on Duchene’s GTG) and just didn’t look comfortable back there. I will give him credit for making some huge saves at least. He wasn’t horrid but this wasn’t anything like his last performance.
Overall I liked the Avs game, they played aggressively and there really weren’t any passengers today. Only issues was when they screwed up they screwed up BAD (except for that first goal, f*** you ref). Prime example—an inexcusably bad turnover by Sammy G leads directly to the Duchene goal. Can’t do that shit in the playoffs.
So far I really like Lindgren. He’s been surprisingly good. Dude handles the puck reasonably well and is aggressive but isn’t insanely so like Manson can be at times.
Anyway big win. Would’ve been much bigger had they not blown the lead.

D depth is an Achilles heel in the POs for all teams. That’s why I wanted another RHD for the Avs.Not play him 21 minutes?
nvm
Edit: It was just to mention Cale was at the dinner, but saw someone beat me to it @RoyIsALegend

Hey did you hear Makar was at the dinner?
Like this post if you heard it here first.

At the time I thought Roy was wrong here to do it publicly but I was the one who was wrong. Roy knew what it took to win and knew they were ****ed.
I was also completely out on Roy as the HC at the time. I was not wrong about that.
I mean, I get it. It was the first time in his career he'd scored 30 goals. I have little problem with the celebrition, honestly. To me, it's a nothing burger, and Roy overreacted. If he had scored 30 before, and did that, sure, then be pissed; but let the kid enjoy a big accomplishment in his career, on a team that was utter dogshit.
Where I have a problem with Duchene is the way he pouted and forced his way off the team. Clearly he was a team cancer by that time. IMO, he clearly hates the Avs organization now. You can see it in his celebrating every time he scores a goal vs them. From a fan-boy, who was drafted by his childhood favorite team, to hating them and celebrating like a effing idiot when he scores vs them. Makes my blood boil. FTG.
I don’t expect him to dominate, I just expect a lot more.
He’ll need time to adjust so that’s all well and good. I also like all of the little things he’s doing. However, if he plays like this in the playoffs, the Avs are getting bounced round one. Plain and simple.
He’s not here to just do the little things and not be Casey Mittelstadt. He’s not here to be Carl Soderberg. He’s got about a month to get it together and hopefully he will.
I keep hearing rumors about Makar being at dinner last night. @RoyIsALegend have you heard anything?
I don't disagree, but it's two good games and three poor games for the newcomer. I consider today good because he was pretty pivotal on the 2nd and 4th goals, and played a role in the 3rd goal. Him/that line being on the ice for 3 of our 4 goals when it looked like MacKinnon wasn't flying the way he usually does is something Casey hadn't done for us since last season.
Is there a more dislikable team than Dallas?
Duchene... What a loser. There is a reason our team got better after he left. Sitting crying about the refs after a game they had no business even being in. Yep that's the reason you lost not that your team got outworked in every aspect of the game today. So glad we don't have listen to his excuses.
DeBoer is a crybaby, which is a perfect fit for Dallas.
Benn is a cheap shot artist and generically one of the worst guys in the NHL.
Rantanen is the new Mr. Moneybags, hope the circus you and your agent put on the last 2 months was worth it. I hope he enjoys 75-80 pts he isn't going to have those 100+ years any more. Will never cheer for him again.

No way lol? This is how much he's loved. It's insane, but he was definitely needed in the room lol.
Makar was there, he's the savior. For them Makar is Jesus for all of them. Makar brought them the ability to raise it.
EJ #2, Mack & Mikko playing with a 4th forward. Makar made our defense feared.
So our bet stands right? If Nuke gets a series winning goal, you and Dman wear a Nuke sweater for a year.
If Nuke goes into the player assistant program again I and whoever else wants to join me will wear your avatar, likely something resembling the cocain bear lol.
