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

[dahrougem2]

Nathan MacKinnon has been one of the worst overall players from game 1 of the playoffs until tonight relative to expectations.

He is a disaster tonight.

Avs have zero desire to play like they need to. Just keep hoping for the hero play (where there are a few guys who can create those).

But MacK seems to be getting more frustrated than angry, Makar has largely been invisible for me tonight and Nuke no longer uses the magic powder.

Sounds like this is going to have to be a JMFJ special or nothing.

I've never seen a team that cherrypicks as much as Dallas.

its on purpose... draws our D out of the offensive zone. They would rather play 4v4 and have a quick breakout than play 5v5 in their d zone.

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

Dallas just absolutely dominating this period. Some sad ass shit.

This is how its done in Stanley Cup play.... Get a lead and play shut down.

Unfortunately, that's not the Avs style....

 

[Avs_19]

Think we’ll get an update on why Makar didn’t play tonight or will they hide it?

 

[The Kingslayer]

This is so damn easy for Dallas. This is a vacation for Dallas compared to the Knights series.

 

[Alienblood]

Just gonna say again—this is the THIRD TIME Bednar has matched up against a DeBoer team, so far this is the 3rd time he’s refused to adjust to a neutral zone clogged worse than a fat family’s toilet post-Thanksgiving dinner.

Just wants us to keep skating it in.


We’re going to lose 3-1 with an ENG

Duchene empty netter

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

Dallas wants it more.....

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Dallas wants it more.....

I can’t tell if they want it more or if it’s the Avs wanting it less

 

[The Kingslayer]

Heiskanen is good at everything

 

[TippinOn44s]

JFC. Get to the front of the net. They teach you that in f***ing peewee.

 

[Balthazar]

Insane that the Avs didn't have the lead for 1 second in 3 games

 

[AvStock]

Bednar is DeBoers bitch

 

[missionAvs]

Yep. Stars are just outplaying them and beating them everywhere. Team is checked out.

 

[sethro109]

The f*** is wrong with Toews and Wood?

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

So many high risk low reward plays

Honestly he's had plenty of mediocre series at this point. The idea that he's a playoff monster is over exaggerated big time.

We need the 3rd line to have 2 good shifts and get dirty to start backing the Stars off the blue line. That may open up ice for Mack.

 

[Avs_19]

Maybe Toews is concussed?

 

[UncleRisto]

Dallas wants it more.....

No Dallas is just trapping and we can't score.

 

[Spleenless Wonder21]

In a sport where the object we’re following is the size of a fly on screen, which is constantly moving, why would you ever, as production director, feel inclined to cut to a zoomed in camera angle during live play? Ever?!

 

[Balthazar]

Dallas wants it more.....

Deboer owns Bednar until proven otherwise

 

[missionAvs]

Toews is beyond bad tonight.

 

[The Kingslayer]

I can’t tell if they want it more or if it’s the Avs wanting it less

The latter. The Stars arent doing anything special but its enough. This is so damn easy.

 

[wayninja]

Lol, yeah, they've given up
