GDT: S1G3 - Stars @ Avs - Low-Effort Gangstalking edition

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

C'mon Bednar, adjust or die

You have chosen. Death.

Landy situation must be in their heads or something. Odd period. I thought we would come out flying and trying to suffocate them but instead the opposite yes.

It amazing that Dallas is missing their best forward and defenseman and are still doing this on the road.

DeBoer truly is the Bednar's kryptonite.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

That’s honestly what it felt like. Tons of pressure and zone time for Dallas, but very few scary moments. The fact the Avs generated close to as much danger with so little time with puck kind of encapsulates that period.

The avs will be better next 2 periods, no doubt.

Dallas D totally pooped when we got even little bit of pressure(Nuke skating circles). We need to do that more. Now we let them run the show.

 

[missionAvs]

It was baad. Total domination by Dallas. We created basically nothing 5vs5.

Matches the eye test. Just abysmal period of play. Need to turn it around if we want any chance of beating this team. We're really lucky Heiskanen and Robo are out right now.

They finished the period with a 5v5 xGF% of 19.73.

 

[NMAvsman]

Very impressed with Landeskog. He's throwing the body, getting into soft areas and making good heads up play. Smart player. Really incredible his 1st game back. Hoping for the best, if he keeps this up we still have a really valuable player for years to come.

Top line is way top soft at the moment..Nuke or Lehkonen need to be bumped up. Ugly pitiful turnovers by the 1st line all period.

And his passing is solid...field vision still there.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

20-9 corsi for dallas. Matces the eye test.

Dallas are doing a great job of stopping the Avs transition game and forcing them to dump the puck in. Dallas are dictating the game and it's up to the Avs to make adjustments to turn this around.

Odd, I was told that my fears that DeBoer was once again going to curb stomp Bednar and his refusal to actually coach were unfounded.

 

[AvsRuleU]

Serious question because I'm not some hockey guru, I just love the sport, but how do you counter what Dallas is doing to slow us down and controlling the puck in our own end now? Like what does Bednar need to change to regain some leverage here and get our stars playing to their abilities?

“As far as when we found out he would be in the lineup, we all heard at different times.”

lol if that clearly doesn’t state this game 3 return has been the plan for weeks nothing does.

 

[The Merchant]

Put Landeskog on powerplay #1. Take Drouin off.

Yes please. Landy just sitting his big, juicy ass in front of Oettinger would give them more than what Drou has on the PP

First thing I'd do is split up the top-6 that clearly isn't working.

20-9 corsi for dallas.

That's a total ass kicking.

It took Dallas a game and a half to adjust. On par with the previous years.

 

[Muffin]

Landeskog is so obviously much smarter than his linemates.

Literal pass down low. Quick transition up the ice.

And stop turning the puck over.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

DeBoer truly is the Bednar's kryptonite.

I agree. Somehow Dallas seems to be our worst matchup. Funnily I think we could beat anyone else. Maybe Vegas would be tough too.

 

[expatriatedtexan]

PK looking like a crisp pack of Black and Mild Jazz.

I'm a fan! Smooth look for him. I bet he's even got socks.

 

[The Pwnerer]

That's a total ass kicking.

If Dallas continues to control play like last period them there's no doubt in my mind that DeBeor just knows how to beat Bednar teams. The adjustments are in. Just look at that PP, they are daring us to dump and chase. Three guys standing on the blue line and 2 Necas turnovers. I didn't know he was a baker too.

 

[Avsavsavsavsavs]

Lines are just done so poorly, PP1 needs Landeskog on it. Get Drouin away from everyone he's cooked.

Team needs to move their feet so they can be an option for zone exits - tough to watch Bednar get out-coached by Deboer again.

 

[sethro109]

C'mon Bednar, adjust or die

Bednar: "Your absolutely right. MacK, Makar I want you guys skating 30% harder in the 2nd period. Toews, 20% harder. Okay boys let get back at it!"

 

[forsbergavs32]

First thing I'd do is split up the top-6 that clearly isn't working.

I honestly thought the 2nd line looked pretty good. But there still needs to be a change because Necas and Mack together isn’t working.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

It will take until Game 5 for Bednar to get eliminated once again by DeBoer's team. I think Bednar's come up with a really good general system (for the most part), however, I think he's failed the team repeatedly whenever another team's coach makes adjustments to counter his system. Outside of 2022 when the Avs where just a beast of a team, Bednar's been beat up pretty good by other coaches.

Regardless of the end result of this game, the dallas board is f***ing hilarious to read right now

Holy shit you weren't wrong. We bitch about reffing here but those boys need some new glasses prescriptions on that board.

 

[Ararana]

I agree. Somehow Dallas seems to be our worst matchup. Funnily I think we could beat anyone else. Maybe Vegas would be tough too.

Better get used to it, Dallas is going to be in the way for years to come.

I'm a huge Bednar guy but if the Avs lose this series, it's time for him to go.

Simplify. Dump and chase and force Dallas' shitty D to make mistakes. They're allowing virtually nothing through the neutral zone.

 

[nammerus]

Amazing period of play. Just a casual 19% xGF 5v5 vs a short handed Stars team. Not only somehow outdoing their garbage level of play from game 2, but also doing it with their Captain making his long awaited 3 year return. Basically, all you could ask for by a real cup contender.
