GDT: leaves @ COLORADO AVALANCHE - 2/24/24 - 5PM MT

Not really his fault, Marner is going to make that pass every time.

Makar got puck watching, was way too high in the box and gave Marner all that space to walk the line for the pass.

I thought he could have done more to stop the pass. Go down on one keep, or something.

But I do agree, Makar was way off there. He's been bad on the PK lately. He even called himself out last game. I guess he didn't learn from it though.

 

[AvsWraith]

I'm gonna be so sad when we still have Ryjo after the deadline.

 

[McJedi]

That was 100% Makars fault.

Makar and Toews. Both played that soft as F. Makar running around. Toews was watching. Not moving.

 

[Avs9296]

Been saying it. The Avs dont really have a guy whose all that great at it to be honest.


Thats been the case alot lately

May seem weird to say, but Girard is actually the best PKing dman we have.

 

[Arch angel]

Any news on nuke coming back? Really need his work…

 

[The Kingslayer]

May seem weird to say, but Girard is actually the best PKing dman we have.

He probably is and he aint great at it whats that say about the Avs d core lol. Manson and JJ should be great at it considering they are the heavies on this team.

Where do you want him to move? He's playing a 2 on 1 down low between Marner and Bertuzzi. He goes to Marner he leaves Bertuzzi open. He backpedals to Bertuzzi he lets Marner walk in all alone in front.

Makar needed to help him there.

Girard is underrated defensively, esp on the PK. He’s overrated as an offensive D man. He’s solid in transition but offers almost nothing else in the Ozone.

 

[GeoRox89]

Makar hasn’t been as dynamic all year but it’s like something has been wrong mentally since the ASG

 

[sethro109]

Dater (so take it with a grain of salt) said he'd be back before the end of the season.

 

[AvsWraith]

Leaf jerseys look like Tampa. I keep waiting to see Kucherov out there.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

I'm gonna be so sad when we still have Ryjo after the deadline.

On suicide watch when he’s still our 2C to start the season next year.

 

[Avs9296]

6 years ago Manson and JJ would be awesome Pkers. Nowadays they are both adequate but not great at it.

 

[sethro109]

Bad icing.

Not egregious, but I think Toews could have played that better.

I've noticed he, and some of the other Avs D, have a habit of staying on their feet and relying on their stick 100% of the time.

That was a perfect spot for him to drop to his knees, and get his legs, and ideally body in the passing lane. He's not in postioon to cover anybody else, so what's the difference?

 

[RoyIsALegend]

RossCo trying to sell that as going in lol

 

[GeoRox89]

Can’t believe that didn’t go in

 

[AvsWraith]

Brutal...

 

[AVSfan2daMAX]

Lehkonen is so good. Does so many things for this team

 

[JWK]

Nice play by Manson

 

[sethro109]

f***. So close.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Need someone to .gif RyJo there

 

[NikB]

I think that was offside anyway.

 

[Arch angel]

Lehkonen is so good. Does so many things for this team

If we had a more skilled line for him … wow.

 

[McJedi]

RyJo. Just wow.

Byram looking more and more like his better again.
