Need a W here. Especially after the debacle in Chicago.
But I want to see sodaskog if Landy is pulled off the top line
The game never should have gone to overtime. It was a very poor game from the Avs, but what else is new on the road.I'm really not down with calling a OT loss at Chicago a debacle ...
And it looks like Varly is starting tonight - 72nd start in a row or so.

I'm actually happy with the line change. I think MacK and Rants can do most of the heavy lifting and let Jost play behind the net and pick retrieve. I like Landy with Comfoot too. Hoping that they are able to find some chemistry and make some things happen. We need to be harder to play against on the road.
I think the biggest issue is timing right now. One or two losses from poor chemistry could be the difference between making the postseason.
Yeah, but one or two losses can also come from failing to adjust.
Yeah, it would be hysterical if this board went off the deep end because we just missed the playoffs after everybody and their uncle predicted we finish bottom three this year.I think a lot of you forgot where we came from. Calling a OT loss on the road to ANY team in the NHL a debacle is hilarious concidering we were the worst team in 2 decades 12 month ago. I predict a meltdown if the Avs actually manage to MISS the Playoffs ... how dare they! But then again who am i to judge.

Perspective is really important. This team is playing so much better than last season it's ridiculous. Even if we miss the playoffs it was a good test of will power compared to last season where we just crumbled under any amount of pressure.I think a lot of you forgot where we came from.

Have we considered that our lackluster road performances are a coaching issue rather than a player one? Seems to me that Bednar gets outmaneuvered every time he doesn't have the chance to dictate the matchups.
Dude was legitimately on a breakaway at one point in the 3rd and turned around to give it to MacKinnon instead. He needs to get that out of his system for sure.
