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

[flyfysher]

I'm not saying they look good, I'm saying they looked better. They literally had 1 nice play in the first period and were dominated the rest of the way.

I got your point and I completely agree. Just saying what I saw.

 

[The Moops]

Bad road period

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

I think we see this show way too many times…the stars is going to find a way to pull this off in the third period…deja vu vibe of last game and last year. Seriously, home game and return of Landy and this team with no intensity. Bunch of pretenders.

It's concerning for sure. I expected us to smoke them tonight. I don't know. That was my feeling at least.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Be ready my friend….be ready

We all know it's coming

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Over/under on the Avs having more shots than turnovers?

 

[flyfysher]

Much better 2nd period.

There’s still a LOT of room for improvement.

 

[Vk1ing]

Rants getting roasted by espn again lol

 

[Ararana]

Well the first was terrible. Second great for us.

Yeah the Avs rallied quite a bit in the second. But I swear to god if they turtle with a 1 goal lead when you KNOW Dallas is getting multiple PPs.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

If DeBoer beats Bednar again, Beds and crew need to leave, immediately

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

There’s still a LOT of room for improvement.

Hitting the net would be a big improvement.

 

[dahrougem2]

I would also like to take this time to say Sam Malinski looks so, so much better than Erik Johnson.

It's painful watching EJ attempt to move around.

 

[Heyduke]

ESPN going out of its way to praise Rantanen now that he's no longer on the Avs. lol

 

[lionsDen]

I’d hope we could have used our speed better, better period as it went along

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

I sure hope not. It would be painful as **** to watch and terrible idea.

Dallas has all the skills in the world on the offensive side of the game. That's why we need to push them to their own defense.. They are lost ther.

Someone with a nice job title started bitching after all that shit they talked in game 2

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

ON Mac's solo rush in the last minute of play he splits the D but drifts to the right. As a righty himself he's facing Ottingers glove side. I haven't seen a close in replay but it looked like he went to the blocker side and the shot went wide (?)

OR was he trying to split the pillows? I didn't see a deke or two made....

If you have a replay frame or 2 to share, please do...Tell me what I missed here...

Brother you know the zebras are talking about this right now. If the Stars don't score in the first 5 minutes 5v5, we'll get a penalty with around 13-14ish minutes left in the 3rd. If they fail to convert and the game remains 1-0, we'll get another penalty with about 6 minutes left. It has been written.

 

[Pokecheque]

I think it was @Pokecheque who's been saying that MacK must be nursing something a bit more serious than what's been let on. The more I see MacK, the more I think it might be true. He doesn't have that explosive step and so easily knocked off the puck. Looks bad.

He’s been waaaaaaaaay off since the end of the second in game 2. His third period was God-awful and he’s been listless ever since. Making dumb plays, not skating, not really battling for pucks. He’s coasting when the puck is nowhere near him and passing up shots. He’s most definitely hurt.

 

[Richard88]

The 3rd line has been the best line statistically.

The 4th line has gotten caved in. Would be really nice if they could generate one or two shifts in the OZ to gain some momentum. So far it's been one and done for them on the dump ins.

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

Why are Malinski and Girard seemingly on the ice together as a pairing sometimes?

Bednar is playing that old 90s NHL game where you pair a small fast guy with a big guy?

Malinski towers over Girard but he's not exactly a tall boy.

This

 

[drhiii]

So good. MacK should learn from him.

Gave up years ago wishing mac would backcheck.... too much repeat anxiety.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

There’s still a LOT of room for improvement.

I mean.... Not really.

22-15 Shot attempts, 12-7 Scoring Chances, 7-2 High Danger chances, 1.15-0.83 expected goals.


They completely controlled play.

 

[Pokecheque]

Was kinda nice seeing DeBoer screaming at his own players when they took the bench minor. Too bad the Avs did NOTHING with that and every other power play.

 

[flyfysher]

I’d hope we could have used our speed better, better period as it went along

Hopefully they wake up.
