Yes, I did notice that they are very good at hockey. They have a good coach, good players, and even a good goalie. It isn't a complete travesty every time the Avs don't dominate and win.

Not Great, Bob!
Makar fumbled pucks all night, by the way. Not great.
Yeah, no shit. Completely killed the game.

96 makes far too much money to be as shitty as he has been. I'm not worried about 4-5M or less players when my 9+M player is a complete non factor.
8 has been bad 2 games in a row as well, he needs to be much better.

It's like the Avs forgot how many times they scored on the PP vs Winnipeg with Makar ripping shots from the point and Lehkonen/Nichushkin in front.
Or game 1 when Makar walked in and beat Oettinger clean.
Don't know why they think this series has to be one play and one play only to MacKinnon.
#8 needs to learn to assert himself every night, not just every few games. Quinn Hughes damn sure doesn't sit back and let others try to take over games while he watches. Makar has to get going offensively.

Another way to look at things is the game was lost in the 3rd when they were trailing by only 1 goal and didn't show up.

Dallas is doing to the Avs what the Jets were supposed to do to the Avs.

You should be. It doesn't take that much to blank one line when nothing else is happening.
I agree on the individual assessments.

Hes laughing inside when he says this. He knows this is too easy for them. Vegas was way harder opponent. Avs are no threat to Pete and he knows it

It basically comes down to both teams wanting to play a different style and one team's better at dealing with it than the other. Stars survive the stretches where the Avs impose their will. If the Avs pot 1-2 goals in the 1st it's an entirely different game.
Dallas is just dealing with adversity better across the board and taking advantage of opportunities. Avs simply need to capitalize when they do get the chance. We can't make Dallas play our game for 3 periods and you can't constantly be trailing.

For sure, but there's no reason the PP can't be simplified given Nichushkin and Lehkonen in front willing to go to battle. The Avs all season have been guilty of trying to create the perfect play when the PP struggles when they just need to get shots from the point and drive hard to the net.
The Avs weren't willing to battle tonight. Case in point Mikko on the Stars 3rd goal just standing there while 2 Avs battle 3 Stars and he was the next closest Avalanche skater. Embarrassing.
The depth players have been fine this series. 96 is the major problem. 8 and 29 have been lesser problems.

Desperation is the biggest thing here. In 22 we were desperate to win the cup and we would have beaten anyone to get there. This is simply Dallas being more desperate than the Avs.
Dallas, Avs, Vegas are the top 3 teams in west, you don’t think Dallas is seeing the Avs and Vegas win the cup and they really want one too? I saw some comments saying Avs didn’t play good teams in 22 that’s why they won the cup.
Thats not true. When your really want it, you’ll go through anything to win it. Seems like Dallas is that team this year.

I didn't realize this, get 96 the f*** out of here. I'd rather have Drouin and someone else with that money.
I saw the date April 27th.
This isn't good . Millo was an advocate for Giorgiev
Why doesn't Mikko get mad and play like that against the opposition ? lol

Toews looked neither surprised nor upset about what was unfolding there either.

Almost like they've come to accept Mikko cussing out Georgiev nightly lol
Wood GWG OT goal game 1. Pretty much all depth scoring game 2 Kiva and Duhaime. Tonight was top line scoring, but we simply didn't compete enough to win, and that's on everyone. Can't count on depth scoring to win you every game. 96 and 8 have to be significantly better. 29 was better tonight but the other 2 sucked.
