GDT: R2G3 | Dallas Stars @ Colorado Avalanche | 10pm ET 8pm MT | Series tied 1-1

We need something to help MacK. His line mates are brutal right now. He's engaged tonight, but Lehky and Rants are killing everything when they touch the puck. I have faith in Nuke and Mitts to get it done vs anyone.

Nuke should be with Mack

 

[sethro109]

I agree with the TNT panel. It always seems like it's either MacK or Makar on their horse and never both.

 

[katfude]

You mean giving up soft goals?

Fourgie gonna fourgie, you knew that was coming. We will break the dam soon if we keep it up.

 

[SirLoinOfCloth]

The third period will be where our advantage really kicks in. If we are within a goal or so, or even better up a goal or two I like our chances.

 

[Avs_19]

Avs looked good other than the disjointed PPs.

Mikko was probably the most frustrating part of that period. He’s just going through the motions. Hoping that means he’s going to randomly score while playing like crap.

 

[Alienblood]

No way that Benn hit didn’t impact him

He's always been soft

 

[expatriatedtexan]

Double shift MacK and play him with Wood and Yenin. Give him two chaos monkeys hitting everything and capable of moving North-South quickly.

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

Move Kivi and Nuke to MacK’s line, Kivi is going hard tonight. Move Lehky and Rants to Mitts. Parise to the Wood-Colton line

Agree on Nuke. Kivi, unfortunately does not have the skill set needed to play on MacK's line.

I'm loving his intensity but he's going out against Dallas's 3rd and 4th line, not their 1st.

I really enjoy Biz and Hank together in the studio. Seriously, I think Biz might be the best in the business right now. He doesn't come across as the smartest guy at the table, but he occasionally really does shine. He's also unafraid to just say it was a horrible call and basically dare the rest of the panelist, oh you don't agree? He's also did a terrific job getting Gretzky to not come across as a wooden cutout like he has for the last 20 years on TV. He's also pulls Hank a little further out of his shell and when he does Hank absolutely shines.

Congrats to TNT on that hire. I was worried he would not be able to tone it down to a PG-13 level; but he's really done a great job.

Spot on. On all counts.

 

[sethro109]

MacK hurt?

 

[katfude]

Rantanen is where all plays go to die

 

[The Merchant]

f***ing bench Mikko. f*** off

 

[Go19]

Rantannen kills another PP possession

 

[AvsFan29]

Mack doesn't want to be out there?

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

I’m so f***ing done with Rantanen, so lazy

 

[missionAvs]

Beyond sick of Rants.

 

[NorthernAvsFan]

Missing opportunities. MacK wide open net earlier and Mikko on this power play, tons of room for that tip-in.

 

[Tralfamadore]

I want Rantanen off this team.

 

[Anders Cain]

Rantanens hands have to be broken. He can't handle the puck worth a damn

 

[nammerus]

Just another great PP.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

I’m fine trading him for futures, we can’t sign that lazy guy long term

 

[kl35ha]

I think is Bednar turn to scream “Do your ****ing job”

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

Rantenan is useless..... ef's up everything he touches. He needs to be sat down.

 

[missionAvs]

Man this is beyond bad. They're just not moving.

 

[the_fan]

Avs want to start their offseason
