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

[ASmileyFace]

Both Florida and Tampa scored two goals in 11 seconds. This shit ain't even close to over. Two stupid fluky goals. I wish Blackwood had played the first one better, but how can you even fault him on the second one. Just genuinely shitty luck. Start with getting one back early

 

[Bender]

This game is over. Came out flat, stupid and unprepared.

Nothing is over - they have to take control of this game in the 2nd.

Yeah I don't see them coming back down 2-0 in Dallas after those goals go in. You know they're going to score a PPG, too.

They'll need 4 to win and I don't see 4 being scored tonight.

I've had a long moving day. See ya'll for game 6.

Don't you ever get tired of being wrong?

1st goal, goes off Dodonov's foot 3 feet inside the redline, hits the top of the glass, no one knows where it is, comes down to Johnston who throws it off the back of MBW's head and it goes in.

2nd goal, Harley throws a shot, it gets deflected, 50 feet in the air, comes straight down, hits the crossbar, and defects back towards MBW who has no idea where the puck went, off his back, and goes in.

I have been watching the game for 30 some years, and those are two of the flukiest goals I have ever seen, and they happen in the same period to the same team/goalie.

LOC you are now a first liner! See ya Marty

I've been saying he needs to be promoted for a while now. I know the 4th line has been great, but how do you not elevate your leading scorer?

 

[Bender]

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".

it was a horrible turnover at the blueline by Drouin. Get your head out of your ass kid.

The turnover at the blue line, along with bad goaltending for the 2 goals for sure.

But they still played an ok period

However the rest of the playoffs go, we need to for next season focus on not playing makar and mackinnon such insane TOI in the regular season. You can tell by playoff time that the last couple years they are just a little bit gassed in these games.

 

[Snow Arc]

Let us see what doth transpire

 

[AvsRuleU]

Nope, just smart.


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

This. If you've watched the Avs for any particular amount of time, especially the playoff Avs, you'll know within the first 10 mins of the game if they will win or not. It's rarely a judgement on the score, but how they are playing overall....I don't like what i have seen so far.

@RoyIsALegend like I mentioned bruv, probability never lies. Life is ruled by mathematics.

He wins puck battles and goes into the corners.. something nobody else on that line does. Its too much one and done for that line

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

I don't like how much Nate is coasting out there.

Yep. Playing like it's preseason game 2.

 

[Avsfan1921]

LOC you are now a first liner! See ya Marty

Maybe we should be more concerned out 12 million dollar player has been just as bad lol.

 

[Elbombatzo]

come on 2 goals like that should not ruin this game for us.

go avs go

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.

It's not perfect, but Dallas wasn't dictating what they did either. Avs still had time and space to make plays. They weren't forced to dump every puck in. They generated some chances.

That's an ok road period IMO. Minus those couple shifts where they lost their focus and the flukey bounces.

 

[Dr Amazing]

Johnson in for Malinski

Yeah… they have never comeback to win a game ever.

Offseason problem lol

I still highly disagree with that. Dallas is limiting our chances and we're absolutely playing their game right now. We might get a ton of shots, but nothing will be dangerous. We'll continue to refuse to screen Otter and we're in for a ton of unscreened shots from bad angles.... Unless we're on the PP. Then we'll force it to Lehky in the slot, and he'll take a bad unscreened shot.

 

[BoxOfChocolates]

Who knew pissing away two 3rd period leads would come back to bite them in the ass

 

[AvsFan29]

Johnson in for Malinski

Hell no

 

[Balthazar]

Avs were due to lose at least one in regulation. @S E P H was right.

 

[MacKaRtin]

WTF are these low percentage plays from Necas

They tried to warn us

I would totally agree with you if that was an accurate description of how the period played out. But it wasn’t.

I think they are dictating the play and playing us like a fiddle. Other than the second line, I hated every shift. Unless someone wants to go to the blue and actually fight, I don't like our chances at all.
