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

[Tommy Shelby]

2nd line exists

Oh I just meant the bottom-6

 

[Balthazar]

Except that kills MacKinnon.

not at all

Rantanen getting killed by the ESPN crew

 

[Ararana]

Those two power plays were the recipe Dallas needed. Score and go into the third with the lead, spend 20 minutes clogging up the neutral zone and sit back and suffocate the Avs.

Yet the Avs go into the third with the lead and Dallas has to chase.

I f***ing love it.

 

[double minor]

Except that kills MacKinnon.

I would just switch 88 and 13

 

[The Pwnerer]

It's so ******* refreshing to not have a bunch of mediocre passengers in the bottom six like the last two years. I mean seriously Newhook? Eller? Malgin??? Depth matters and it's showing.

 

[Richard88]

So soft from the refs to call two interference pens on the same team in the same period in the playoffs.

Kiviranta blocking his guy from reaching the point is a routine play you see dozens of times a game. Ditto for the Manson shove on Rantanen, as routine as you like.

The fact that Dallas basically just got half a period on the powerplay from 3 weak calls hopefully means that they don't get a tonne of calls in the third. If anything it's the Avs who are due for a call.

 

[missionAvs]

Except that kills MacKinnon.

Nonsense. MacK performs with anyone. The man won't be stopped. Nelson needs a play driver in Necas.

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

You guys know Bednar is saving Necas second line until game 3 at home to absolutely punch DeBoer in the dick.

Just don't worry. Bednar laughing at all the doubters. He's got an ace up his sleeve.

 

[drhiii]

Val needs to come alive, in the positive column.

 

[double minor]

Meanwhile Edmonton sucks lol

 

[Foppa2118]

Our 4th line is money

Jack 'Dolla Bill' Drury

Parker 'Printin Cash' Kelly

LOCash Money

O'Connor 1g + 3a
Drury 1g + 1a

Depth scoring

 

[MonsterMack]

I kinda just got lost in LOC's eyes.

 

[Vaslof]

not at all

Drouin-MacKinnon-Nichushkin xG 43.7%

was literally our worst line this season that played over 60min together.

 

[Hornstar]

Kings up 3-0 over oil cans

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Best part is the Refs gave Dallas all the PPs that period so hopefully they'll be less inclined in the third.

You'd think so, but unfortunately for us ol' Petey Sixhead is working the glory hole in the Refs' locker room as we speak

 

[JoeSakic13]

Rantanen getting killed by the ESPN crew

 

[Richard88]

4th line with the clutch goals but their possession metrics aren't great somewhat surprisingly

 

[NikB]

Necas and Nelson together just makes too much sense, Brock sucks with the puck but is decent away from it, and Necas is way better with the puck on his stick.

 

[Jayevs]

You guys know Bednar is saving Necas second line until game 3 at home to absolutely punch DeBoer in the dick.

Just don't worry. Bednar laughing at all the doubters. He's got an ace up his sleeve.

I really hope you’re right, plus nuke is insane defensively to help Mack in a lot of his very few short comings

 

[hockeyfish]

I don't know what the Vault thing is, but it looks super scammy.

 

[Avs_19]

Could use the real Cale Makar in the third to close it out. Where’s my Norris winner?

Game isn't over but Makar below 50% you don't see that often
