GDT: G32: Preds @ Avs 7 PM MST

[expatriatedtexan]

When was the last time the Avs were involved in a goalie duel that wasn't fire-wagon (7-8, 8-5 type) hockey?

 

[the_fan]

What the hell are they doing?

Trying to lose except for Blackwood

 

[Arch angel]

Lord Blackwood with the dark magic. Nice.

 

[wayninja]

Gonna need Blackwood to go on offense

 

[Tralfamadore]

Blackwood is good. I could see this being their new identity. Middling team that wins games here and there on the back of good goaltending.

 

[expatriatedtexan]

I know folks are saying it's an illness. But hear me out. It's the 3rds. Impossible to look good wearing them.

 

[missionAvs]

Frail cannot get this shit through lately.

 

[forsbergavs32]

Nice defense Toews

 

[wayninja]

They should hire some professional hockey players

 

[the_fan]

Blackwood is probably saying to himself I didn’t think it would be possible to go to team that plays worse than the Sharks, but here we are

 

[forsbergavs32]

Somewhere on Long Island, Varly is getting PTSD

 

[expatriatedtexan]

I don't think that cleared the zone.

 

[AvsWraith]

Grinding.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

This is some ugly effing hockey

 

[wayninja]

These guys have to be battling through monkey pox

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

The Bednar specialty of skate faster, try harder seems to have run out of effectiveness

 

[CobraAcesS]

Where is everyone that was saying that the Avs were playing like shit just because they didn't like Georgiev?

Right here, they aren't playing like shit. They've kept BWs lanes clear, and he's stopped everything, and directed it to a manageable part of the ice.

They may not have their legs, but they're selling out defensively when needed.

 

[drhiii]

Beyond poor disgusting effort.

 

[missionAvs]

I really do think that Bednar's time is done with this team. Save us Coach Q!

 

[Arch angel]

Liking Middleton’s edge this period. Hope it doesn’t turn into dumba$s penalty.

 

[Vaslof]

Blackwood looking much better than I expected.

They may not have their legs, but they're selling out defensively when needed.

They're playing well defensively, it's just the offense is MIA tonight

 

[Avs2022]

So. Just freaking move Rants to the 2nd line, move Nishushkin to top line and see if we can get out of this mess.

And I'm convinced Girard has absolutely no offensive upside anymore.

 

[the_fan]

I really do think that Bednar's time is done with this team. Save us Coach Q!

I would agree with this if they are playing like shit on purpose, but I still want to believe it’s the flu

Offense hasn’t really looked right for a long time now, the PP is as ineffective as we’ve seen it in years as well
