GDT: S1G6: Colorado Avalanche vs. Dallas Stars | Your guess is as good as mine, but currently it is believed to start at 5:30 Alaska Standard Time

I miss Bo.

Bo should've been JacK Hughes, and we would be in fantastic shape.

 

[Balthazar]

I would seriously change the GM before changing the coach. On surface it seemed like CMac has done a good job, but when you look at his bigger f*** ups, it’s what costing this team

On the other hand the coach was handed like 7 different 2C and none of them could play properly under him with the exception of one season of Kadri. Perhaps it's not just the GM.

 

[AnimalMother73]

I have a feeling both CMac and Bednar will be gone if they don't make a come back this third period.

Good. I’m half tempted to send Sakic w them. Team style and players not built for the playoffs.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

lmao what a shitty PP

 

[the_fan]

No Kadri and no Mikko is gonna be the downfall of this team forever. Hopefully I’ll see another rebuild and a cup winning team with a GM who doesn’t give away very key players.

 

[Balthazar]

lmao what a shitty PP

Not like they needed a goal

 

[double minor]

Sorry PP honestly. Nobody even bothers to go to the middle of the ice or in front of the net. Dallas probably just laughs clogging the middle and watching them pass around the perimeter

 

[The Shermanator]

Cycling it around the boards on the PP should end the PP.

 

[Freudian]

No excuses.

 

[AvsFan29]

57 shot attempts for makar and zero goals

 

[Avs425]

Just not dangerous if you don't hit the net.

 

[missionAvs]

It was a classic. Patented. Powerkill.

 

[missionAvs]

What are you doing Toews?

Maybe all those 2Cs we tried and keep trying just simply suck

 

[The Shermanator]

Just not dangerous if you don't hit the net.

To be fair we've hit the net a lot but that's not working either.

 

[S E P H]

Yeah, how is that on Bednar I don’t get it

It's been a mixture of both. In some games in this series, we've lost due to coaching being trash and in other games, like tonight, is on the players. Toews and Makar look mentally done for the entire series, hard to see them magically flip on the switch defensively to help this team in a do-or-die third period. Landeskog looks so good because he looks refreshed after not playing for 1000 days. Makar would be the same. Coaching has been arse and played these dudes into the effin' ground for meaningless regular season games. That's one of the reasons why I want Bednar to GTFO, he obviously thinks his game plan and system are working. That's why Makar got 26-28 minutes a night...almost every night. MacFarland needs to GTFO for choosing Manson over Kadri. The scouting team needs to GTFO because they can't find any depth that makes Bednar trust them to help relieve some of these top players' minutes.

I'll be honest, there are not a lot of players I want to keep after this series. Almost 80% of this roster is a joke, including everyone on defence except the first pairing.

The biggest difference in this series - has been the Power Play

They can score on theirs and we have ray f***ing bennett

St-Louis fans warned us when he came on board that he was f***ing BRUTAL and as soon as he got fired, their PP got infinitely better.

It's INSANE to me how the Avs have kept this guy on board for so long

Nah, we are getting out goalered in this game and it isn't even close. Blackwood is playing worse than a combination of Skinner and Kuemper, while Oettinger is playing like Oettinger. If we played that much for Nelson and Coyle, why didn't they just do it for Gibson instead? Besides Game 1, Blackwood has been ridiculously bad whilst also losing his stick eight times a game.

 

[missionAvs]

Lol short shifts for the Stars. They CAN lock it down and they will. This is a 6-3 Stars W. 2 empty netters.

 

[Rumplesnipeskin]

Feels to me like when DeBoer has the long change and it’s tougher to match up on the fly, he is able to catch the Bednar/Avs in long shifts and mismatches on a consistent basis.

 

[McMetal]

If we get eliminated tonight and Rantanen gets first star I will throw myself off the very top of Pike's Peak.

I was told this isn't a coaching issue tho

 

[missionAvs]

Lol just running around chasing. Great shift.

 

[Puckstop40]

If we lose tonight, this will be an even bigger colossal failure than 2004 in my opinion.

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

I'm done with Girard on this team. I really don't think it's a coincidence that the team wins the cup the year he gets hurt.

Bednar is consciously choosing this matchup. Girard is out there every time Rants is on the ice.

Girard is fine as a sheltered #4 and a puck moving engine in the regular season. Not put up against a 100 goal scorer.

 

[BaconNater]

Avs hockey sucks.. built different LOL

 

[missionAvs]

MacK just falls LOL.
