GDT: G58: Avs @ Preds - 2/21/2025 @ 4 PM MST

[pont]

They do in the NBA.

Fair enough. Mitts is playing the wrong sport.

 

[LOFIN]

It took 40 minutes for Bednar to get sick and tired of Mittelstadt after the break and he stuck him with dumb and dumber.

Parssinen and Drouin were going all night. A shame their center stinks

I want Nuke to be healthy, if for nothing else than at least it would mean some changes to these lines. And at least one of those two would be free of Casey the Worm Tongue.

 

[Balthazar]

Mittelstadt coming out of the break with a classic Mitts Line tonight…

24% xGF%

Jesus Christ

 

[Balthazar]

He can't. Too many holes to fix. Need at least 2 D. An entire 2nd line. A 3rd line winger that can actually score.

Not gonna get all that before the TDL.

Realistically we only need a 2C and a #5D (ideally a RD).

 

[Pokecheque]

Turns out I did not miss Avs hockey one bit.

Lackluster effort. Lots of perimeter stuff that amounted to inflated shot totals. That’s about it. Management can’t seriously expect us to believe this team has a shot at anything more than a first round exit.

I agree with needing 2 D, but we will have an entire 2nd line with a legit 2C. When Val comes back, we just need a 2C

 

[a mangy Meowth]

It’s my fault for starting the GDT.

Lay it on me.

Look at this, the preds also have someone they don't want making their GDTs!

 

[drhiii]

Yeah he's totally lost his edge

Paycheck, access.

 

[myperbixhurts]

Mitts really looks checked out. His face impression when they showed him on the bench and his body language, he knows he’s done in Colorado

 

[Alienblood]

BTW that play with around 2:50 remaining where Mittelstadt went towards the end board and just poked at the puck with one hand and peeled off to avoid a hit is precisely why I have zero faith in him. Down one goal and he's okay with the turnover so he doesn't get hit. Has nothing to do with skating, cardio, systems, etc. Just straight up soft play.

Get him off this team.

Ryjo, Colton and Mitts should have Cmac fired

Manson hasn't been good all year. Can't rely on Nuke. He's either hurt or in rehab.

Fire management

 

[The Merchant]

Well...on a positive note, the Avs put me to sleep in the 2nd and made me miss the Nuggets game.

 

[Grackle Party]

GWG is all on DeHann for making that stupid pass to the bench during a line change

Wouldn’t mind adding Luke Schenn

I wouldn’t mind subtracting de Haan for a bag of pretzels

For once I agree with you

 

[chet1926]

I'm not going to rant, but it's the same shit another day. Poor effort against a bad team. It's the same shitty players making the same shitty mistakes. And it's the same shitty coaching staff who can't even remotely get the players playing at an effort level that is necessary in the NHL. It sucks but it looks like this is what we are getting this year.

Exactly some pretty egregious mistakes by CMac & Sakic (sorry if those think he’s not involved in these decisions). And a coach who can only coach one way with apparently only a very few players who can play that way.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Sometimes you don’t have to trade everyone that’s struggling. I think Mitts and Wood need to go, and maybe Colton will find his game again with different players. He was really good earlier in the season

True. You start with few changes and see if you need to make more.

 

[Jasenr]

It’s my fault for starting the GDT.

Lay it on me.

Naah.

I blame Necas for being soft infront of goal.

I dont care if he is the best skater in the world he needs to get going with all the opportunities for goals. And its not the first game.

Yeah he has bagged a couple but come on man it a tap in tonight. Thats amateur our..

 

[Raucherhusten]

Well, at least i have ZERO intensions to watch the Blues game tonight.

Not much to say about THIS one. They tried, they failed. Not good enough
to beat even a pretty bad team.

But hey, Nuke will save us, right? RIGHT?!?

I don't think so. Only glimmer of hope is the TDL. But even that light is getting
weaker; there is only SO much they can do. And i don't think it will be enough
to transform a Wildcard team into a contender. At least in my opinion ...

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

de Haan passing it to the guys changing was hilarious. That dude is braindead.

I don't know what kind of deal dehaan has on management but it's really hard to imagine Jacob Macdonald or Calle Rosen being much worse at this point. WTF are they doing with this guy - he's awful and has been the large majority of the season.

Sakic isn't super involved, he's not a micro manager. And I doubt CMac is running to him to seek his approval before he makes a move.

CMac is making the decisions, and they have been mostly poor.

Well we know Bednar will never use Jacob MacDonald, so it's probably only Rosen and at this point I don't think Bednar gives a f***.
