GDT: WCQF: Game 5 - Colorado Avalanche @ Dallas Stars | 7:30 MT

The "this series is over" comments are so tiring.

 

[Lonewolfe2015]

And it's over. Had my hope boys, but unfortunately this Avs team are just too sucky to win this. Dallas owns us.

Avs are a 2nd and 3rd period team. They've come back from worse multiple times this season. Despite playing themselves into a hole and getting hurt with luck, no reason to give up yet.

This does require Makar to step up IMHO. We need a blue line snipe from him badly.

 

[LOFIN]

I find your lack of faith disturbing guys.

They were doing ok until the last couple shifts on the goal. Then they lost their focus.

Loosing the Puck and trying to pass through 3 sticks is not okay. Necas is a huge problem right now, he has speed and nothing else. The 4 line is just fighting in the corners and generates nothing. The 3rd line is flubbing the Puck all over the place. The ice doesn't help, but this is horrendous hockey. Dallas made adjustments and we have no answers. It'll probably take Bednar another 3 games to change anything and that'll be next season.

Dallas 2 Goals on 0.65 Expected Goals.

Colorado 0 Goals on 1.65 Expected goals.


That's hockey baby!!!

And why giving up after 20 minutes is pathetic.

Feel like all series we’ve just been waiting for the switch to flip for the top 6 specially Mack and Cale on D and it just isn’t happening. Landy looks the best of the top 6

 

[Vk1ing]

Stinker of a period but if there's a team that can come back from this it's us. Gotta believe the boys will come out with some intensity after that period.

 

[AvalancheFan19]

Whoever scores the next goal wins this game, seen it here first. Go Avs go.

 

[Vaslof]

no, thanks

but it's over isn't it? what are you still doing here?

 

[SirLoinOfCloth]

I still see this being a win for the Avs. Two shit luck goals. We are playing the better hockey. Come out and press hard. Let's go. No giving up.

This franchise is over

 

[Tralfamadore]

It's not over but Nate and Cale need to pull their heads out of their asses. This is ridiculous.

 

[avsfan2189]

bro we can come back and win this one just score one goal each period and go from there, just dont allow any more goals

 

[arun]

Love the mason marchment-like flops on this board

 

[landy]

More of the same from Makar and Mack. Definitely the main story line if they lose the series.

Punt necas to loc’s line. Plays die with him.

 

[Foppa2118]

Avs can come back in this game.

They just gotta stick with it, not give up grade A chances, and bury their own. That is within their capability to do if they compete.

They're generating chances, they just need to compete to bury them, and get second and third chances on rebounds.

Go to the net and get some greasy ones. Val, Lehky, Gabe, Coyle, 4th line. I'd like to see Necas go to the net and use his quick hands to pot in a rebound.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

And why giving up after 20 minutes is pathetic.

Nope, just smart.


Its very easy to tell when it isn't meant to be. Tonight, we're not meant to win.

 

[Balthazar]

but it's over isn't it? what are you still doing here?

I never leave

 

[AegonLeConqueror]

As long as the Avs come out not moping about that last period, they have a good chance of tying this game up. Big IF tho...

 

[Refalanhe]

Maybe for once we tie it at the end and win in OT?

 

[sethro109]

Even Liles see's that the Avs are playing like shit. He's blaming the turnover at the blue line and not it just being "unlucky".

 

[NikB]

Avs are gonna win this game. Book it.

 

[The Pwnerer]

It's going to be a monumental task to win against two fluky goals. I'm still looking at Mackinnon and Makar who need to step it up and fast.

 

[CharlesPuck]

Maybe for once we tie it at the end and win in OT?

Exactly what’s going to happen. Our turn to comeback and win in OT.

 

[double minor]

LOC you are now a first liner! See ya Marty
