Denver Post with the hottest of takes on Avs vs Preds

[22FUTON9]

Didn't Dater once upon a time suggest PA Parenteau as the centerpiece for a Subban trade?

Good to see things haven't changed.

I don't think I remember this but it's dater after all and I could totally believe this

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Maybe, you could invent a time machine, travel back to 5 years ago and be in the first billion people to make that joke.

I thought I originated it.

You understand that local announcers are supposed to be homers, don't you?

You don't broadcast locally and attempt to sound national. You're not catering to a national audience, you're catering to a mostly local audience. AKA, pander to the home team. It'd be moronic if local announcers pandered to the opposing team.

There's a difference between favoring the home team and sounding like you're gonna hang yourself when the opponent scores.

Cracks me up.

Haynes and McNabb call the game as if they were just a couple of Avs' fans. Crazy, I know.

 

[CanadianPensFan1]

I'm of two minds:

1) if that was meant to be funny, it worked.

2) if it was meant to be serious, this person should never be allowed to speak or write or be let out of a basement again. Ever

 

[Dr Quincy]

Kiszla and the Denver Post are a joke that even Denver folk don't take seriously.

But seriously

I hate when this rationale is used for things. Crap writing is crap writing and calling it out for it isn't justifying it's existence in the least.

(Avs fans - Not anything meant as a jab towards you. It's more towards the idiot click bait writer, who is still living back in the glory days when he probably still rocked a pager. I admittedly did not click.)

Kiszla: Nathan MacKinnon and Avs expose Nashville as great pretenders in quest for Stanley Cup – The Denver Post

Kiszla: Nathan MacKinnon and Avs expose Nashville as great pretenders in quest for Stanley Cup




This is a pretty strong case against legalization of marijuana

Actually no logical case against that. Finally and thankfully.

 

[Avelanche]

Hell yeah

 

[egelband]

The writer takes so many shots at the city of Nashville. Is there a personal reason or something? It’s a real turn-off and erases any credibility the writer may have had.

Attacking the city of the team he's writing about is one of the foundations of a good Mark Kizla article.

 

[allan5oh]

Avs fans: no need to apologize for this clown. Maybe I should be the one apologizing? Best of luck in game 4.

 

[Alex Jones]

In his own (extremely special) way Mark Kiszla is a legend.

It's genuinely mind-blowing that someone could write so many terrible, misinformed, childish, blowhard articles in a lifetime. He's literally just an idiot who talks nonstop shit with a daily column. None of his points are factual, and most of the things he says could be defeated by first grade logic, but I'll be goddamned if he doesn't somehow manage to top today's impressive level of stupidity in tomorrows Post.

Altitude Television, which broadcasts the Avs games in the Denver market, is wholly owned by Kroenke Sports & Entertainment, the same ownership group that owns the Avalanche. So, the announcers are essentially team employees, and shouldn't be expected to be even remotely objective.

 

[adsfan]

As an Avs fan, hate Kiszla and our broadcasters to be honest.

You'll be hard pressed to find any Avs fans that will defend much that comes out of the Denver post - it's an absolute joke, and even when we're good there's barely any coverage. Dater was a joke and Kiszla might be just as bad. Don't lump us in with them!

You are not responsible for the writers at your local paper! I would never take any credit for the drivel in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. We just have to live with them or ignore them as much as possible. This is not a new idea in journalism.

For giving Kiszla attention? Prostrate yourself.

 

[AvsGuy]

It’s a goofy article, and probably not meant to be taken all that seriously

That said, anything so far to indicate the Predators aren’t pretenders? Not really. They should be annihilating the Avs, and very much are not.

Even Jack Edwards at least sounds interested for opposing goals against the Bruins.

Remember when Toffoli beat the clock?

I can’t even imagine what he wrote about Detroit back in the Wings-Avs tivalry heyday

Actually yes, you should. Your "clever" use of attributing anything questionable out of denver, as the fault of a plant that will soon be legal nationwide is bemusing. Surely as a denverite I have never heard that one before. It's almost ingenious in its ingenuity.

Frankly - the Preds do look like pretenders. I didn't read the article past the headline because everyone in Denver knows the post is garbage, but it won't surprise me if the Preds make an early exit this postseason. The part I disagree with is that it isn't MacKinnon that's exposed them thus far, it's Pekka rinne. How many shots do you imagine before the first goal in tonight's game? If it takes 3 it will be a record.

 

[Maukkis]

Did Rob Rossi change his name and favourite team or something?

I reckon that take won't age very well.

 

[winnipegger]

I thought the Preds would contain Mack line and win easily. Problem is you can't contain Mackinnon.

 

[AMDZen]

Except that Detroit wasn't a sesspool of garbage like it is today back then. The collapse of the city happened primarily after the red wings rivalry

 

[BigEezyE22]

This shouldn't be listed as a news article. It's commentary.

Pretty much.

Obviously there is no way to prove it, but If the Avs had the same Varly we saw most of the season in net and EJ on the blueline - they could be ahead in this series right now and my money would be on them to win it.

Bernier hasn't been that great even at the best of times this year, he would need to stand on his head for the Avs to win it but it doesn't seem as impossible as it did before the series started

My money is still on the Preds in this series but not to get to the finals. I can easily see the Peg or Vegas beating them. Pekka obviously has what it takes as a vezina finalist and his performance last post season proves he can evelate for the post season, but he's going to have to play better than he has.
