GDT: Round 2: Game 3 - Fishies @ Avalanche - We Have a Bigger Boat Now

[Veritas0Aequitas]

It's cute that you think this way. I look forward to the anger you, and others, will assuredly spew when Tyson Barrie is extended.

Sorry to disappoint you but I'm not emotionally invested enough to get angry about a decision a sports team makes. But if it helps you get through the day, I'll make a rage post just for you. You'll have to suffer just as much as the next Avs fan if they extend Barrie.

 

[OwenNolan]

Did you watch tonight's game?

The players that struggled were the big, slugging defensive defensemen in Johnson and Cole. Barrie, Makar and Girard were constantly pushing the play and the pace of the game.

The offensive defensemen are not the issue.

What about in our own zone? That doesn't count?

 

[OwenNolan]

Hopefully this one hurt Joe as badly as us. Go for broke. Panarin would be the ticket. Don't rely on kerfoot, just, Wilson to take us deep into the playoffs. What you see is what you get with these guys

Panarin isn't coming here. Can we stop with this nonsense?

Nobody who isn't "emotionally invested" posts on these boards. Makes no sense.

No, not wrong. The Boston Bruins finished with 107 points in the regular season; therefore, the Boston Bruins are the best team left in the playoffs.

This is not a difficult concept to comprehend.

Then you have to say the best team from the regular season and not the best team.
Bruins are good, but not the best team. Columbus leads them 2:1.

True but Columbus had new shiny toys

Seriously just go with 7D, Brass is so useless. Soda is also getting to that point...really need regular season Soda to show up.

I think we all need to give up on this idea that regular season Soda is showing up. He simply will not.

 

[CaleMakaw]

Play Nemeth as 7D. Cut down EJs minutes he's clearly struggling right now.

Hot take trade EJ. Resign nemeth

The offensive defensemen are not the issue.

Also another reason why EJ and Cole shouldn't be skating together. They should be stay at home dmen covering for Makar and Girard.

Cole - Makar
Girard- EJ
Zadorov - Barrie

Big missed opportunity tonight. Played pretty bad for 2 periods and still had a chance to win. Can't even survive a shift after tying it up - same thing almost happened the other night. Ultimately I think this is the game that loses the series for us. Hope I'm wrong, but forcing OT in a game like that with all the momentum on our side looked promising.

Frustrated Makar didn't get a chance in the last 3 mins when we needed a goal. Also give Jost more ice time, he's earned it.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

They better play their asses off in Game 4

 

[Spleenless Wonder21]

hes ugly but a helluva hockey player.

Avs could sure use any of him, Hertl, Kane, or someone 6’+ 200+ LBs of that caliber in their top 9...

Haven't read what's going on, but not sure how anybody can defend Barrie today. Again one game doesn't make a difference, but the lad is just so inconsistent at the times we really need him to step up. It's not that he can go out there and stat-whack up to 70 points per season, but when the game is at crunch time he tends to be on the mistake portion side of spectrum. He had a great game 2, but definitely seeing that he might not be able to step up his intensity when we're down a goal.

 

[OwenNolan]

Wondering if he’s injured?

Barrie defensively bad, but without the offence. He just seems slow and sloppy.

He looked slow. Wasn't himself thats forsure.

 

[AvsFanInMichigan]

Alright everyone go to bed. No need for bickering the Avs lost and they made some idiotic decisions to get to that point. Bednar seems pissed and he’ll rip the boys a new one and get back out there with some intensity for next game. The sun will rise again tomorrow the past is the past we can’t change it. Just need to be grateful we’re still watching our boys play hockey in May. We’ll get em’ back in game 4 just gotta believe.

 

[Foppberg]

It is what it is. Get game 4 back and the series is tied. Despite how badly the HF polls had us winning.. this was always going to be a tough series. We're still very much the young underdogs.

This is why getting the chance to draft a guy like Kakko would have been amazing lol. Ahwell we should still be able to get something really good at 4

Barrie was useless pushing snow off the ice...

That double negative.

The two are not mutually exclusive. Evaluate your premises and conclusion and get back to me.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Wish Bednar would be less stubborn. Give Makar and Jost a try on PP1, Barrie can’t even tee up MacKinnon when he is 6’ away

 

[Mighty Makar]

Gotta win the next one!

I don't disagree with you that maybe they should balance out the pairings, but that, to me, has more to do with Johnson and Cole struggling and less to do with Makar and Girard being smaller.

Thank you. I've been getting lambasted left and right for criticizing him.
