GDT: Jets @ Avs | 7:30 pm MT | Hellebuyck Emergency

[wayninja]

Avs had legs for a while, but I have no doubt that the team effectively gives up now

 

[expatriatedtexan]

I've been watching my wife play Phasmophobia next to me. Have I actually missed anything in the last 5 minutes? Watching her scream and freak out the folks she is playing with has been some of the best entertainment I've had in a long, long time.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Surely we're not challenging this?

No. Toronto was looking at it to see if it went in off his glove

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Bednar’s insistence that the best way to defend the front of the net is to not, and hope to intercept the pass is so dumb

 

[expatriatedtexan]

Jets have started the cycling and net front stuff. Big boy hockey.

Girard and Malinski, all 250 combined pounds of them, caught out there together and just got manhandled.

But that's on the coach... not the players.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

But that's on the coach... not the players.

Save us, Coach Q.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

You can’t convince me Rantanen deserves 14 million

 

[JoeSakic13]

“Mikko is so due”

Yeah, not even to score. Just to do anything useful.

 

[missionAvs]

I'm actually feeling confident about the upcoming 3rd period. This game ends 3-1 Jets.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Well, this was a decent game for 30-35 minutes.

Jets will shut it down in the 3rd and score 1 or 2 empty-net goals.

Chalk up another home loss.

 

[forsbergavs32]

This team just plays so mentally weak right now. As soon as one goal goes in they stop playing the right way.

 

[expatriatedtexan]

Save us, Coach Q.

At this point, bring in Iron Mike as head coach, Mike Babshowmeyourcockphtots, and Q as assistants.

I don't give a f*** who it is that brings a fresh message, but something new MUST happen if we want to see different results. Going on 10 years is a f***ing hell of a run. There is absolutely no shame in that in the NHL. But yeah...these guys have heard only one voice their entire professional careers.

It's time for them to hear something new.

To be fair they're also physically weak.

 

[sethro109]

I want a hothead on this team. Not someone like MacK, in talking a Downie type that'll just randomly go ape shit on the other team for no reason. This core has nothing to play for. They don't even bother to practice. They need someone to get their adrenaline pumping.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

I really think you’re settling for playoff hopeful and “entertainment” if you sign Rantanen to anything close to what he wants. He’s completely stopped being a play driver, digging in even harder to his bad habits. There was a time where he would’ve been worth what he’s wanting, but he past two years he’s just been a passenger

 

[chet1926]

There is no way in hell they shake off a fluky goal. This game is done like dinner.

With Bednar at the helm that guy would get one shift and then benched indefinitely

Be careful. Your mental powers from your HF PHD are putting vibes out into the ether.

I think you are setting the bar too high if you think Mikko is going to bring anything close to hope or entertainment consistently over the next eight years.

I'm fixing to catch a metric buttload of criticism, but I honestly believe this...

Mikko is an elite complimentary player. Possibly the most elite complimentary player I have ever seen in my life. But like any complimentary player, he is not one that a team should get gutted over.

If you had the choice of any player in the league to start your team around...how many players would you honestly choose before Rants? I can think of a lot more that aren't making or asking for 14M+.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

I don’t know if Bednar’s message has gone stale, we just don’t have the mix of guys that truly want to win it all, or if the team truly just sucks…but this stretch of games has been truly awful. The saving grace is Blackwood, and really I just feel bad for the guy

 

[The Merchant]

God, Girard was so f***ing pathetically weak on that goal. Literally fell over himself with virtually zero pressure on him. Babyshit soft

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Every time it seems like one of the guys is about to breakout, they instead dig deeper into slump territory

 

[the_fan]

Again, where is the 2C to help out after Nate scored? Gotta have a 2nd line production at some point, or does this team expects Nate to do everything?

Getting poke checked on a breakaway
