Avs should learn from the Jets how you play hockey after a long break. Couple of long breaks, and the Avs are about to lose 5 in a row and look like they can't win a damn game

Honestly, if I'm Bednar I'm splitting MacKinnon and Rantanen up on the PP. Those two are literally only looking for one another and looking for the cross-ice pass. Keep it simple, work the puck around the outside and don't force it inside unless it's there. Put the puck on net, let Landeskog and Wilson go to work. Simplify.

Why the **** did we have to blow those games against Calgary and Vancouver. This would be so much easier to take.

None of them can make a proper pass to each other. Baby steps. Figure that out and then we can start thinking about winning games.

Who else do we put in? Kerfoot? We tried that last year, everyone and their mother knows he isn't shooting.

We're definitely missing that secondary line of Nieto - Soda - Comeau. Too bad Comeau wasn't 3 years younger.

The problem isn't our first line. They've been ok. Our three other lines are AHL level crap.

Who gets more minutes? Bednar nominates Matt Calvert as tribute!

The coach isn't to blame on the players not being able to make a pass, nor shoot the puck, or leave guys alone in the slot, or give up odd man rushes on the PP, or just not decide to show up when the game starts... The list goes on

Tyson Jost hasn’t tried to adapt his game even slightly since entering the NHL.

He tries to spin and work his way through grown men on the boards. Tough to do that when you’re both slower and weaker than every single person you try to do it on.

He’s gonna have to learn to get away from the boards and try to work the open ice. He just fails shift after shift.

If there's any game to give the kid a pass. I'd say his first game back from concussion would be a good one.
