WCSF Game 3: Sharks @ Avalanche | 10PM | NBCSN,CBC,TVAS

We have them right where we want them. Glad it wasn't 4-0. Huge mistake by San Jose

Avs look like they're playing with 4 men the whole time. Every loose puck there is seems like there's an Av nowhere near it.

Sharks often play like that, except they miss the net in vast majority of grade A chances. Someone must have pissed in their cheerios before that last period of the last Vegas game.

 

[LemurFromTheId]

Don't like what I'm seeing from the Avs at all. The distances are way too long, and that's why they have massive difficulties making any passes and anyone with the puck gets immediately mobbed by three sharks. By the time their Ds approach their own blueline with the puck, the forwards are already waiting at the other blueline, and there's the entire Sharks team in between. They need to tighten their group, have some structure and start skating.

What did Vegas do that neutralized Burns so well? He looks like the best player on the ice against Colarado. (MacKinnon is obv in that discussion as well)

Seems effortless too
Same number of points as Mckinnon,
plays D 29:30 minutes a game
Thats impressive

lol well they should have scored 3, that's the most dangerous lead in hockey.

Just ask TBL and VGK this post season.

How did Minnesota do?

 

[JoeThorntonsRooster]

If this series taught me anything, winning the first period is not a good thing

Yeah but we won the first period by 2 goals. Totally different.

 

[JeremyTB]

Couture not on the bench. just our luck.

How did Minnesota do?

Better then the 2016-17 Avs season iirc

 

[hohosaregood]

Welp who's the next man up?

 

[Dowisetrepla]

Sharks are probably the most talented team left in playoffs. But definitely a “last hurrah” vibe with them.

I blame Pierre.It went downhill for the Avs after that interview.

I'm just happy Pierre is enjoying himself

 

[AaronDellForPrez]

They were very physical against him and didn't give him alot of space. Avs are letting him do whatever he wants out there.

Burns also had the flu then.

I sense even with all that talent they still only go as far as Jones takes them. They give up a ton of chances.

 

[Ambisextrous]

Haley trying to fight Zadorov is just funny now. Its like a tough preteen trying to fight an adult

 

[Bounces R Way]

Avalanche are lucky to not be down by a couple more.

 

[RussianShark]

How is Zadorov's offensive/transition game? Loved what I've seen from him in his own zone.

 

[Fraser28]

Wow, how about a few more posts/crossbars for the Sharks! What is that so far...4 or 5?

 

[Ambisextrous]

Its good for his size and playstyle, but VERY inconsistent, as are a lot of his defensive decisions. He's been great these playoffs though. I expect he'll fill in for EJ going forward

 

[amethyst]

Sharks PP is horrible... need to capitalize on their chances

 

[Alwalys]

ugh no killer instinct

 

[AaronDellForPrez]

I almost dont like how little work Jones is getting.

 

[Avs]

Avs are gonna turn it on annnnnyyyy time now...

 

[Alwalys]

Couture not on the bench. just our luck.

he was taking a shit
