As per usual, you shut down mcjesus and drai and the oilers ain't shit. not even little evander kane could do anything.

I thought Kane was more worried going after Makar than play actual hockey. They need their best goal scorer to play like that and let the gooning to guys like Kassian. For all I care he can keep going on Makar (no injuries please)

We beat Calgary to win the BOA---for me that gave us a winning season

Since (after the Avs lost games) there was so much focus on comparing to a series versus Vegas a year ago, how about we compare now: Colorado comes out to a 2-0 series lead. They did that vs Vegas, as well. They lost the series. Yeah, we will get posts then about how that Vegas team was a lot better than this Oilers team, blah, blah, blah. Oh, yeah, that's right, I totally forgot that after the Avs went up 2-0 vs Vegas, how people were talking about an impending 4 game losing streak, and how the Avs were in trouble. It's almost like no one was talking about that, so was it really that obvious to most people? Or will you talk about how it was a different series and different team and doesn't apply, etc.
I agree. Why then did it have anything to do with the Blues series, very specifically right after the Avs lost games?

If the Oilers managed to win the first 2 games, the conversation would be radically different, even though they are still the same 2 teams. It's silly.

A lot of Avs fans were VERY confident after game 2's route of the Knights. It seems like a lot of Avs fans are VERY confident after game 2's route of the Oilers. The Vegas series and it's result has literally 0.00% bearing on this Oilers series. Suffice to say, a series can change, and teams you write off or count out, or your own team which you are so confident in, can have things go differently than what you expect.

I'm not going to hope Sakic & Bednar get fired, and the whole core gets blown up off of 1 game, or even from who wins this series, nor am I going to think the series is over and Avs win after a game or 2. I'll celebrate a win as a win, and I'll celebrate the series when the series is officially over. Until then, there's more hockey to be played, and some of the very best hockey players in the world (players in the highest level league) are playing each other, and anyone can win; especially with names like McDavid out there.

Go Avs!!!

Do you think Smith gets the start in game 3? I mean you can’t really blame him on the 3/4 of the goals with the 4th being one of those situations that just never happens.

However the team looked stronger with Koskinen out there and it could spark them into stepping it up.

Thoughts?

Most of America rooting for the Avs!!

Sure is a nice change of pace after being rooted against the last couple of years and also some during the Blues series with the whole "Avs can't get out of the second round" narrative

I still think the Flyers go with Patrick because “next Lindros”. Do the Avalanche end up with Hischer or Heiskanen?

No kidding, chef.

You have more of this ?

Dave Mason really chewed that gum when Kane pushed his boy into the boards

 

[vippe]

I for one enjoyed a game that didnt have a hundred goals scored.

That's the kind of "what if" question that I have zero interest in exploring

 

[BB88]

Edmonton is the worst defensive team I’ve seen at this level.

Colorado in 5

 

[General Disarray]

This series is over

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Devon Toews shutting down McDavid, you love to see it.

Avs are just a better team.

 

[BB88]

Lol Oilers... You need a goalie to win, they have none. Feel bad for the players and fans, all these years and still haven't found a good goalie.

Good luck, they gonna need it.

Avs could have scored easy 3-4 goals in the 1st if Smith wasn’t on his game.

It doesn’t matter who’s in net if nobody is playing defense

 

[TheTechNoir]

No kidding, chef.

The fact that, that is a foregone conclusion is very sad. Surely people have watched hockey for more than a few days duration.
