GDT: Nobodies vs THE GREATEST TEAM EVER ASSEMBLED

[drhiii]

Mackinnon misses the net 3 times one timing it on a 6 on 3. You have all that space and you do nothing with it kinda like 3 on 3 OT.

Didn't see the whole 5-3 or 6-3... did the Avs get a single SOG?

 

[The Kingslayer]

Was that Makar or ERod that had the wide open net and passed it?

Makar

 

[sethro109]

Wow, we don't play them again until December 11th. Hopefully by then we'll be a little healthier.

 

[The Merchant]

Well of course it would take a fluke goal against a team currently consisting of maybe half replacement-level guys for this Blues team to win. Blues beat the Avs early last season, too. Enjoy it while it lasts

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Yes. Makar one-timed a shot that Garbage Bin saved

 

[drhiii]

Gonna have to switch to Coors Banquet

Ermmm... let me think about that. Ok, will stick with Piraat.

This one is my fault, for slacking on the boys. Will get with the program.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Just so dumb.
You have the Blues defenders outnumbered 2 to 1... Just put the puck on net and win the battles for rebounds.

3 guys are open on a 6 on 3 and that was the end result. 3 shots wide from mackinnon and a Makar wide open net he doesnt wanna shoot. Earned the loss. Oh yah another game where they allowed 30+ shots against.

Didn't see the whole 5-3 or 6-3... did the Avs get a single SOG?

Makars shot thats about it. Unacceptable but when you wanna play globetrotter hockey thats what you get.

 

[drhiii]

Yes. Makar one-timed a shot that Garbage Bin saved

My missus has known bin as 'the racist' for awhile. And whoever just mentioned trashbin and Hasek in the same breath... now I'm pissed.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Should be getting Nuke back by then no?

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Honestly, these ahead games for the core guys and some of the depth guys with all these injuries could be a blessing later in the season. I do think McFarland and Sakic are going to have to be aggressive if they want to repeat

 

[Pokecheque]

Frustrating. Avs did juuuust enough to lose.

Binnington much as I’m loathe to admit it, was elite tonight. Georgiev wasn’t horrible but he wasn’t great either. Finally let in a legit softie there. And yes I know it was deflected but he got careless and wasn’t hugging the post.

Five on three…unreal how they manage to make that look so bad. And IMO Bednar made a mistake pulling the goalie. Way too many players doing absolutely nothing.

Lol.

MacFarland must realize this team as presently constructed is very flawed. Needs a couple of middle-six forwards to really make an impact. I hope he knows what he's doing.

The guy that came out was Newhook so it was like having a 5 on 3 anyways

Oh and this one's for the bLues lurkers:

Eat up, f***ers

well you were beaten by nobodies. bInNinGtOn'S iNjuRy dIdN'T cHaNgE tHe sErIeS.

suck it Avs.

Yea I think St Louis might've had a chance in that series if Girard, Byram, Landeskog and Nichushkin were out in that series lmao.

Hey man, you good?

Enjoy your arch. So inspiring.

 

[Pokecheque]

I also thought this was a subpar game for Devon Toews. Made a bad pinch on the first STL goal and then didn’t gap up on the third goal. And I’m pretty sure it was his stick the second goal deflected off of.

Oh well…Avs overall were not terrible, they just couldn’t get that third goal.

Weird game overall. Don’t remember the last time I saw so many Avs passes bounce off sticks.

[dahrougem2]

I tend to agree with Malkin here. 5-on-3 there isn't really much more room to add a 6th skater. The ice is so condensed as it is.

 

[Metallo]

Aside from missed open nets, I thought Hunt had is better game. You could see that EJ always wants to beat the Blues. ERod is overpassing, he's a shooter and should shoot everytime. Englund is pretty fast for a big dude. Manson is struggling with the puck, no bueno. Newhook is lost. Kaut is getting there slowly. I like Ranta's physicality, I want to see more. Top line + top pair a combined -7, you win with your top players. you lose with your top players. MacNorris should get more than 13 min, he's better than Manson right now.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

It was Makar

Awwv you're adorable

Lol.

The way the Avs play, they need more guys like Nuke and Lehky. Maybe not necessarily at that level, but guys that can play with tempo and are relentless in their puck pursuit.
