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

[NorthernAvsFan]

Girard was their best player tonight. What an effort.

Nuke, Rantanen, Lehkonen all sucked. Can’t have that.

Yep. Loved Sammy tonight.

 

[GeoRox89]

We are the Washington Capitals which really sucks cause they were a lot further into their window when they won so really people were just happy they got the one Cup

Time for big changes this summer, Moose gone, new goalie, seriously look at changing coaches

 

[katfude]

He said in the the press conference the guys were too stupid and stubborn to dump it in. That’s not on him when the team played like shit in the 3rd period.

He is the goddamn coach and he's not chewing their asses for ignoring the gameplan? That's on the coach.

 

[BigCKU]

Turning into 2021 Vegas where Avs just can’t get out of their way and the opponent doesn’t have to do much but just wait for the Avs to make an unforced error.

 

[chet1926]

Doubt we see a coaching change if they lose but they should do something big this summer. They have won a cup sure but 1st or 2nd round exits appear to be the most common outcome over the past 7 years. For the amount of talent they have that’s just not acceptable. Doubling down on Mikko to become e even more top heavy?…not the best idea

If they end up losing this series, 96 needs to be shipped out. We simply can't have a boat anchor on line 1 making 11.5M+. Get Drouin and someone else with that money and we are a much better team.

 

[Balthazar]

Is that why they gave up in the 3rd?

If players are ignoring the coach, he has to be f***ing fired. He's clearly lost the room.

It’s such an easy and low effort way to be able to beat a team. Dallas didn’t look like they broke a sweat today.

Would love to know how many times he yelled to dump the puck on the bench.

This series is not over.

 

[Balthazar]

So which one of you is mad at Meghan?

 

[Alienblood]

Ross Colton has 3 goals in his last 20 games overall.

For 4M you would hope there's a tad more production.

People complain about Miles Wood's contract. Colton's IMO is worse.

imagine keeping Colton over Drouin

 

[expatriatedtexan]

Is that why they gave up in the 3rd?

Holy shit, even Bednar and I watched two different games with the same outcome. That is not how this game unfolded for me.

 

[UncleRisto]

I don't know, guys. Rantanen nor MacK looked good, but to put the blame on the one player who got credited with a goal in a game where we get ONE goal, seems like y'all are going through your echo chamber mantras again.

The second and third line are allowed to generate offense if they could do it.

It's not. I mean we are talking a goal here or there. At the end of the day. If we decide to start working hard, it's game on.

It’s close. We haven’t even had a terrifyingly bad Georgiev game yet.

 

[sethro109]

So which one of you is mad at Meghan?

Hey, I'm taking my frustrations out on Mikko in here. f***ing lazy ass moose.

 

[AvsFan29]

just handing them games. So frustrating

 

[chet1926]

He is the goddamn coach and he's not chewing their asses for ignoring the gameplan? That's on the coach.

I mean we have no idea what he is saying behind closed doors. I'd be surprised if he is all sunshine and roses to the guys in the locker room. I highly doubt Bednar who's never really chewed his guys publicly would start doing it now.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

They need to come out with a more concentrated effort and the big guns need to get out of their own way. If they don’t, just forfeit and take the early vacation time

That's the gameplan.

 

[dahrougem2]

Mitts has 5 goals in 26 games with the Avs. Regular season + playoffs.

He's going to be cheaper than expected.

At least in that timeframe he's got 12 assists. That's a 54 point pace which is basically what he's been the last two seasons. He also does play fantastic defensive hockey.

I just can't fathom keeping Ross Colton for 4M beyond this season. You can't match him up against the other team's best because he stinks defensively and has poor IQ. He doesn't kill penalties and Bednar even sends him to serve delay of game minors. He doesn't play PP because the top guys play so long on PP1.

If you want a 13 minute center who plays exclusively even strength go find one in UFA for 1-2M cheaper than Colton.

 

[katfude]

I mean we have no idea what he is saying behind closed doors. I'd be surprised if he is all Sunshine and roses too the guys in the locker room. I highly doubt Bednar who's never really chewed his guys publicly would start doing it now.

Well then be prepared to lose if they aren't listening and you just shrug your shoulders and save the scolding for later

The second and third line are allowed to generate offense if they could do it.

I don't think anyone is saying it's just Rantanen. Its just way more noticeable in how he's skating, losing the puck a lot, and just general effort level. It's great he tapped the puck in but the rest of his game was noticeably worse.

That said, I didn't mind Mack to start but about halfway through he seemed to be moping. The big boys need to get to work if they want to get back into this series.

Watch the play and tell me who you think was responsible for that goal? The guy standing there and tapped it in? Or the one that skated through 2 players, deked a 3rd and got the shot off that got the goalie out of position?
