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

[Balthazar]

Somehow, Toews has actually become softer and a bigger turnover machine in our own zone than Girard.

Absolutely butter f***ing soft on the slightest of contact.

He looked afraid to get hit

Benn did his job

Terrible D and terrible goaltending. Great combination.

 

[drhiii]

hank nailed it.

 

[CharlesPuck]

Yup. If this is December no way he’s playing.

 

[sethro109]

Give MacK, Nuke and someone other than a Finn for line mates. The Finns are out to lunch tonight.

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

Disappointing.

I hope the Avs now realize that Dallas is applying immediate pressure on the PK right off the face-off. They are set on not allowing the PP to get set up. And it's been working.

Dallas is way way more structured defensively in their own zone than Colorado. And Oettinger has his head in the game. The Avs are going o have to fight for rebounds, tips and screens to beat him. This one is going to be tough to pull out.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Olczyk upset that Dallas was called for that trip. Somebody please shoot his worthless ass into the sun.

It wasn't a trip.

 

[wayninja]

Just checking but is there a way to raise the arena up even higher midgame? Like one of those adjustable mattresses?

The "shitting the bed" idiom doesn't need to be any more on the nose.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

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

 

[kl35ha]

Seriously about time to split up Mack and Rant, both of them doesn’t put enough effort into battling for the puck.

 

[Balthazar]

If the Avs don't score on this PP they'll be down 1-0 on the scoreboard but up 3-0 on PP's

That's NOT a good spot to be in

 

[AvsFan29]

Gerogie allowing a goal on the first 5 shots is just automatic.

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

0-2 on the PP. Mack and Toews with great chances. Dallas doing nothing.

1-0 Stars.

Nailed it!

 

[BobRossColton]

Can we dress Gabe next game just to fight Benn, or would that be a bad Idea?

 

[AvsRuleU]

It's hard to be in a spot where the Avs aren't even fun watching at the moment. It reminds me of how I didn't want to watch them play Seattle last year.

 

[sethro109]

f*** it. Go,

Mitts - MacK - Nuke

Lehky - Colton - Rants

Wood - Trenin - Praise

Duhaime - Cogs - kivi

 

[Snow Arc]

Where is the nuclear wessel?

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

f*** it. Go,

Mitts - MacK - Nuke

Lehky - Colton - Rants

Wood - Trenin - Praise

Duhaime - Cogs - kivi

I wouldn't touch the Colton line right now.


But I'd get Mikko and Mack away from each other for sure.

 

[Spleenless Wonder21]

Please convert on the power play,

 

[expatriatedtexan]

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.

 

[Bender]

I don't know why you guys are freaking out. I liked that period... I think dal went 9 minutes without a shot at one point.

We had chances at one end and we didn't score and they went back the other way and scored - classic hockey, happens everytime.

I like the way we're playing and if we keep playing this way, we're going to win.

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.

You mean giving up soft goals?

 

[TruePowerSlave]

It sure would be nice to have an above .900 goaltender. It was enough in 2022 to have bush league goaltending because the team was simply that much better than the competition. That´s not the case this year, they need games where the goalie keeps them in it.

Go with Annunen next game if Georgiev has his usual night. I know they won´t as somehow they have decided to go with a below .900 goaltender all season no matter what.
