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

[The Kingslayer]

This is a one man team right now. Its Mackinnon vs the Leafs.

 

[wayninja]

Just got in. With our eyes, how're we looking?

 

[sethro109]

Our PP worked, so of course our PK failed. Damn special teams keep screwing this team.

 

[dahrougem2]

Cale Makar should be barred from killing penalties on this team.

Not only will it lessen his minutes, he's just not good at killing.

 

[McJedi]

I don’t know. We had several good scoring chances beyond Mack.

In color (for most of us)

Pretty great offensively, but also pretty bad defensively.

Seriously it's MacKinnon 2, Leafs 1, right now.

 

[forsbergavs32]

Good road period, in our road uniforms

Sure but they aren't going in.

 

[Freaky Styley]

Games like this is what gives me pause on trading Byram.

He's always struck me to have a similar personality to Doughty. And earlier in his career Doughty was notorious for sleepwalking through the regular season.

Byram has always been confident/cocky. A cup so young probably doesn't help that ego. I can see part of his down play this year is just immaturity and disinterest.

But tonight, you see he's engaged. It's a Saturday night game against the Leafs, which will probably have the most viewers of any game this year. He shines in the prime time, so I believe in his ability to up his game in the playoffs aagin

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Exciting period but I felt the Leafs were better at 5v5 and started controlling the play in the second half of the period.

It’d be nice to have a strong second period.

 

[sethro109]

I get mine colored in post with Technicolor.

 

[McJedi]

A little better than them.

Don't take penalties.

Was a reason ever provided for the road uniforms at home?

I got in a bit late so I'm not sure

Those six games vs tampa were a long time ago.

Hopefully this post season he steps it up.

 

[Gruyeriev]

So he’s never coming back then?

 

[NateTheGreat]

Mack, Lehky and Byram looked solid. If they want to win they'll have to stay out of the box, this version of the Avs takes way too many stupid penalties.

 

[Snow Arc]

[AllAboutAvs]

The reason Makar was so high on the PK goal was to take away the shot from Matthews.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Both teams went shot for shot that period. If a you are a neutral fan with no stake in the outcome I suppose that was fun. Defensively both these teams are garbage.

 

[wayninja]

anyone have kitten?

 

[McJedi]

Sure but they aren't going in.

Because without Nuke and with RyJo, we’re a team with a great first line. So so 3rd line. Another so-so 3rd line and a weak 4th line.

Avs need a 4C and Kovelenko.

I do think Bo for whatever we’re calling Middlestadt now would make the team better, probably even Zegras but other than that think it would be a mistake
