GDT: Game 41: Preds @ Avs | 1 PM MT | Predators and Other Animals

Don't blame the ref on that one. Even on replay you couldn't see where the puck was, I don't expect the ref to see that in real time with 10 players in the blue paint + Rinne

 

[Alex Jones]

Refs have stolen like 3+++ powerplays and one goal from Avs. Are you kidding me.

Really who cares, not like the Avs would ever score on one of them

 

[Skip2myBordyloo]

But we beat a near full strength Blackhawks, and a pretty good (despite the standings) Islanders recently. To me, that means (on our day), we can beat anyone.

The reason I tune in every game, and even watch the replays of the losses if I'm at work, is despite the culture around the team, I think we can win every game.

We can't.

13-26-1.

Don't have the talent on the team to win or even have a chance of winning every game.

Yeah.. would be nice to get a win here and there. But this is good for the tank.

 

[Alex Jones]

Game about to be over, Iginla in the point. Tanktastic Bednar

 

[Freudian]

Annoying to have another winnable game being lost due to our veteran presence. Slow, lazy, zero awareness.

I liked the top two lines and Zadorov. Good effort and offensive presence.

 

[Hesher]

They were up 2-0, playing well and they still found a way to lose. Impressive.

 

[Skip2myBordyloo]

Well have to admit it was a good effort.

 

[DanishAvsfan]

Well at least I was entertained.

 

[dahrougem2]

Lol if that last 20 seconds doesn't show everyone in the league how finished Jarome Iginla is, I don't know what will.

Victor Arvidsson is one of the weakest players in the league. Very fast, but very weak. And he out-muscles Jarome Iginla for 15 seconds in a board battle and wins the puck.

There's your veteran leader!

 

[The Shermanator]

Broadcast cut off. Hopefully they give Cody the first star? Goulebouf

 

[UncleRisto]

2-0 to 3-2 again. I ain't shook.

 

[Alex Jones]

I feel like Tyutin started the year at barely NHL level and its only gotten worse.

 

[Goulet17]

We can't.

13-26-1.

Don't have the talent on the team to win or even have a chance of winning every game.

It's more than a talent issue in my mind. They can increase the talent level, but there is very little semblance of structure or simple fundamentally sound hockey on the ice.

 

[BoxOfChocolates]

Last year we didnt get to 27 regulation losses until February 21st.

 

[Sea Eagles]

We DID play pretty well tonight, with our number 1 Dman out.

 

[AvsRobin]

Don't blame the ref on that one. Even on replay you couldn't see where the puck was, I don't expect the ref to see that in real time with 10 players in the blue paint + Rinne

But Mike Haynes said it was loose and free all the time when we saw the replay (but never saw the puck untill it was in the net)

 

[missionAvs]

2-0 to 3-2 again. I ain't shook.

Textbook Avs hockey.

 

[Alex Jones]

Last year we didnt get to 27 regulation losses until February 21st.

Can't stop this crazy train to last place

 

[Avs_19]

Another loss but at least it was a competitive game.

You're move, Arizona.

 

[Goulet17]

Yeah, many of the veterans are making plays like they just don't care. They probably don't at this point, but I don't see how you keep playing those veteran players and not give some kids a chance. It just smacks of no accountability whatsoever within the organization IMO.

 

[The Shermanator]

Zads getting a lot of love in this thread and rightly so. Was very impressed. He was out there a lot too.

 

[missionAvs]

Preds were missing their top 2 in Josi and Subban...

 

[Sea Eagles]

Another loss but at least it was a competitive game.

You're move, Arizona.

No chance against Anaheim.

Rycroft, "no one is better at losing hockey games than the Colorado Avalanche are".

It's more than a talent issue in my mind. They can increase the talent level, but there is very little semblance of structure or simple fundamentally sound hockey on the ice.

Agreed, majority of the players have already mailed it in. It's so obvious by now.
