Let's keep this going in Dallas.

Everyone but Necas looked good tonight.

Yeah but Necas cross checked Marchment in the face.

 

[Richard88]

That Otter pull was so stupid. I had a feeling that might backfire. He was their best player and DeBoer embarrassed him.

Obviously DeBoer knew they weren't winning this game so decided to rest Oettinger

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

They literally flipped it into their bench at the final whistle to take it with them.

No, that doesn’t ever happen lol

Pretty sure I’ve seen it before in the playoffs. They take the puck from the goalie end of the series they return it

 

[Hornstar]

Chills and goose bumps. Wish I was there

 

[BaconNater]

Not comfortable with this lead

 

[Metallo]

Nothing to show for it but Makar at least arrived in the series, he was assertive offensively.

WTF happened in that 12.7%?

 

[flyfysher]

Have to give the Avs credit. This is what I felt we deserved to see since game 1. They were prepared, they were motivated and they finally played their game. I just wanted Landeskog back for his leadership but thought it unrealistic to think he could be anything more than an okay third liner. Holy shit! Landeskog could play 1st line RN. And what a tremendous difference Landeskog has been.

Between this game and the Nuggets pulling off a win, I'm pretty happy! (and certainly drunk)

edit: Cheers everyone, have a great night!

Nuke hugging Blackwood so wholesome, after learning about them bonding

what are you referring to? Is there a story or a video I should watch?

 

[The Pwnerer]

That's probably our best playoff game since 22

Closest game of hockey dominance to the SCF game 2 against Tampa. That was a methodical full octane domination after the 1st.

 

[AVSfan2daMAX]

It's still so surreal seeing the captain back in the lineup. Let alone the fact he's been the most important player since coming back.

A lot of people are eating crow.

 

[Balthazar]

"Sammy G" trending

 

[The Abusement Park]

WTF happened in that 12.7%?

I think Deboer put a giant concrete slab in front of the net and the Avs couldn't break it down in time.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

LOL Dallas took the puck, one of their guys flicked it to their bench

They don’t want Blackwood or Landy having that puck

Dirty dick lickers

 

[Tom155]

lol stars just a complete clown show

The full story is behind a paywall, but

More Than Teammates: Inside the Friendship of Valeri Nichushkin and Mackenzie Blackwood (+)

Following a recent Avalanche win at home, Valeri Nichushkin was heading out of the dressing room just as media entered. Before exiting the doors, he turned and walked toward Mackenzie Blackwood’s stall, offered the goalie a handshake and a hug and congratulated him for helping Colorado secure...

2 shots away from a 50 burger.

Pretty crazy that the Avs put up 48 shots with only ONE powerplay.

Dallas having 4 powerplays to the Avs 1 is insane considering the level of domination

 

[cccoltsicehockey]

Surprised no one got Gabe with the water bottle after his goal

 

[flyfysher]

Closest game of hockey dominance to the SCF game 2 against Tampa. That was a methodical full octane domination after the 1st.

The Avs utterly dismantled the Stars. You love to see it!

Everyone but Necas looked good tonight.

Even he picked it up in the little time he played in the 3rd

 

[Pokecheque]

Now THAT is a paddlin’
