GDT: WCQF: Game 2 - Avs @ Stars, 7:30 MT - "I've Heard It Both Ways" Edition

[cccoltsicehockey]

We controlled 3/4 of that period and one stupid penalty and now have nothing to show for it.

 

[missionAvs]

f***. Just a terrible result after the start we had.

 

[CharlesPuck]

Way to take a dumb penalty Kelly and ruin the otherwise perfect first period.

 

[sethro109]

f***ing tied game because we can't finish and our shit 4th liner couldn't not do something stupid. We need Colton and Landy back ASAP.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Team really needs to figure out how to play in front of the net on both ends, way too much perimeter play

 

[The Pwnerer]

Dallas has done little 5v5. We just need to continue what we're doing and stop taking penalties. We've adjusted and are collapsing everyone when Dallas has the puck below the hashmarks.

 

[Tralfamadore]

Crowds back in it

 

[Elbombatzo]

I didn't know they had electronic ankle cuffs on their wrists in dallas?

 

[dahrougem2]

A perfect road period ruined because of an awful Cale Makar pinch which put Parker Kelly in a horrible position to have to keep up with Hintz on a full-ice sprint. Full 5v5 numbers:

Shot Attempts 21-15 Avalanche
Shots on Goal 9-7 Avalanche
Scoring Chances 9-7 Avalanche
High Danger Chances 2-2

 

[Tommy Shelby]

I'm loving MacKinnon crushing Benn tonight

Dallas has scored their only 2 goals on PPs thanks to flukes/falling, I'm not worried. Avs will win this 5-2

Drury and Coyle could have had goals too, what a shame

 

[Avs_19]

Really good road period despite the score. Keep doing that and they should be good.

 

[The Shermanator]

Seguin has the most goals against Colorado in the last 19 years (26 goals)

 

[Foppa2118]

This game shouldn't be tied but it's fine. Just stick with it. Most of what they're doing is working.

Love Nate's physical game right now taking runs to make hits. Impose yourselves on this team physically and they'll have even more trouble skating with you later on in the game/series.

 

[NMAvsman]

Nuke still not looking his usual dominant self. He really needs to get going. Nelson needs to be a lot stronger on the puck.

 

[Ararana]

The recipe is simple: stay out of the box

 

[The Merchant]

Deserved result when you choke on so many quality chances. Nelson line is a major, major concern thru a game and a period. Guy couldn't drive play if his 85 year-old heart depended on it

Yup.
Bad penalty by Kelly. And at the same time, he shouldn’t be in that position in the first place having to chase Hintz down to stop a 2 on 1.
The AVS were in complete control and bad pinches leads to things like that.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Can Bednar please put Necas and Nelson back together? Drouin-MacK-Nuke, Lehky-Nelson-Necas

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

Pretty even game if good chances are 2 to 2?

Keep putting pressure on the Dallas D. Their bottom pairing is a huge weakness and have been eviscerated so far tonight

 

[Metallo]

Trust the process. It was a good period. Keep the intensity high.

A few players could’ve scored avs dominated. My fear now is a momentum swing.

I'll never understand your infatuation with Kelly. That was just a really f***ing stupid penalty to take. He needs to be out of the lineup if he can't stay out of the box.

 

[AvsFan29]

Being stupid allowing them back into this game

He has never been a play driver. If you expected that, you are expecting the wrong player.

Nelson needs someone who can drive the play so he can finish. It's why 62-11-88 looked so good.
