GDT: G52: Avs @ Isles - 28/01/25 @ 5:30 PM MT - Stopping Saint Patrick on the Island

[the_fan]

We have so many stupid defensive breakdowns

 

[dahrougem2]

Girard got absolutely abused that shift. Lost every possible physical contact confrontation with Horvat, who made him look like a child

 

[Balthazar]

4 losses in the last 5 games

 

[Avsfan1921]

No he didn't back into him, yes he is pushing out in his allotted space, apparently.

He gave up the ice, convenient he needs it back the moment the puck is shot.

Not exactly how the rule is written these days.

He was not touched, or interfered with in anyway.

I mean, there’s very clearly backwards momentum from Drury when he uses his stick to push off the Dman. Call it “incidental” if you want as sorokin is moving forward and he is moving backwards but he clearly is not able to get to the top of his crease. But this is where I’m letting it die, it’s just not some egregious call.

 

[Avs_19]

What is Girard doing? That's not a size issue, that's just horrible awareness and defense. ****

 

[missionAvs]

We need a defender in the worst way possible. Our 2nd and 3rd pairings are a huge problem.

 

[CobraAcesS]

This is trash, our third pairing is costing us games now.

Yes I realize they're not on the ice for that.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Girard just gets abused in front of the net

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Yeah, we're getting bounced in the first round with this defense.

The way they are playing, there won't be a 1st round to play in

 

[GeoRox89]

Yeah, we're getting bounced in the first round with this defense.

We’d be lucky to make it to 5 games with this kind of defence

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

These guys sure love to give the puck to the Islanders right beside their own net

 

[Ncit3]

The problem with this team is they don’t shoot. They only want to score pretty goals. Get the garbage in like Horvat did.

 

[Snow Arc]

Bo knows Avalanche mediocrity

 

[S E P H]

Way too many passengers tonight.

 

[Go19]

MacK is in his own world - checked out for the night

No there isn't wash your eyes out with soap

 

[Metallo]

G poor coverage.

 

[dahrougem2]

Oh yeah, so much for spreading the time out @RoyIsALegend I knew Bednar couldn't help himself.

4th line below 8 minutes tonight, MacKinnon/Necas already at 21 minutes.

 

[Alienblood]

Fire bednar

Roy outcoaching him

 

[the_fan]

This just proves that Georgiev wasn’t the only problem with this team. We give up so many easy goals. The difference is Blackwood makes the ones he supposed to make where Georgiev didn’t, but still our defense is horrible

 

[Tommy Shelby]

I hate having to complain about the refs, but f*** sakes man what a joke

This one is over, I'm outta here, those asses aren't gonna eat themselves

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

I hate this team.

It sucks. Has all year

 

[Avs2022]

I've been saying this for 2 years. Girard is not good at defense. He isn't good at offense. I have no clue why he isn't traded away. How many goals from the opposition do we see where he is getting owned on the crease.

 

[The Merchant]

Roy outcoaching him

There's a common theme there

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Been checked out half of the season.
