Normally I would agree, but I don't think folks are overreacting here. The Avs looked horrible - our best players (other than Val) look like they want nothing to do with the playoffs. And our coaching staff cannot make adjustments to save their teams.
It did seem to be very mental. Remember how good they looked the first couple periods of Game 2? I'm trying to remember at least ...
That’s just it though, this is their strategy. Hang on for dear life and grind them down. Their two biggest weapons are not on the roster so they’re waging a war of attrition. And in the last two games, it’s worked. They grind it down until it’s just a coin toss. Avs have the horses to dominate this one but they refuse to meet the moment. Whether that’s a matter of overall health or they’re playing scared…I’m just not sure.
What the f***? Sounds like some random drunk asshole trying to cause a scene. Totally understandable why they wouldn't do a post-game after that.
Speaking of mountain lions, I went to Wikipedia and it said "the cougar is a large small cat".
It honestly looked like really bad acting but it was real and from the comments, people were saying this guy was accusing aj of choking his gf, I don't know if this was or some previous encounter with his gf. Lmao
Jared? Is that you?
Interested to hear what the vibe was like after the game in the locker room. Was it a sense of dejection? Seem like the team still has belief? Are they upset/frustrated at how they're playing or do they believe they've been doing the right things but aren't being rewarded?
There is a reason why Canes have wanted to trade him for a couple years now. Nonetheless, I can't give him too much hate when Mack, Makar, Drouin, and Lehkonen have all looked way worse. Missing open nets. Killing plays. Etc. Necas doing some of that too, no doubt, but not at the level the others are doing it.
Can't blame Necas, but at the same time if he wants to be a $8-10 mil player he needs to produce in the playoffs.
What's a bit infuriating is what you say is correct...yet...Stars did the exact SAME damn thing last year too. Avs have already been through this, so why is history repeating itself? Why haven't the Avs - both coaches and players - not done something about it? It's not that hard to know what's going on and try something different. I'm not saying it will work, but at least do something new.
The AVs have no gears. It's just one rubber band wound tightly each period, until it gives out each period.
The coaching decisions were a primary point of criticism
Yeah I'm actually a fan of this team and don't abandon them after every single loss and then hop back on the bandwagon after every win. If the team was like you they'd never have won anything. You little bitches even gave up in the fall after like 10 games. Grow a f***ing spine.
