GDT: R2G2 - Aves @ Stares - 7:30 MT - 🐝 there or 🐝 🔳

You say this, but Colorado was quite meh in game 1, while Dallas was worse, but guess what? Stars are kicking our arse today, while Avs looked meh in game 1, and looking like the Washington Capitals today isn't aspiring any confidence when the series comes back to Denver. And to be honest, as I wrote in one of my previous posts, Dallas isn't even playing that amazing right now, Avs look like they went to a strip club all night and partied until 5 pm CT, getting two hours of pregame nap.

Yawn.

Little worried we haven’t seen a Mack rush up ice and blowing by the D. Doesn’t seem to have that gear at the moment.

Dallas are doing a good job of clogging the center of the ice. Not a lot of room out there for stick handling.

What is missing tonight is our forecheck. That's how you beat this team. Get behind them and cycle. You don't beat them by going up the middle.

Yup. Everybody predicts a long series.

Everybody freaks out when Dallas wins a game to make a long series possible.

The play of the Avalanche is terrible. Everyone here knows how good they are when they are on their game.

That's not a freak out. It's just disappointing because there was opportunity here to really make a statement.

The good part about losing like this is you don't even feel sad and you can sleep at night after

 

[katfude]

Not me man. A few more beers and I'll fight Benn.

I'm in, bud. You get the fight started and I'll come in with the steel chair

 

[Alienblood]

I love 37 but he’s invisible

3rd line C really

 

[sethro109]

The score doesn't matter anymore. Just hit hard. Finish everything.

Again, Colorado being meh in game 1 and still controlling the game and deserving to win arguably even before overtime was played is a testament to how they played in that game, and how they have levels to still reach.

You can't give a break to one team, and one team only.

And it spread to Nate

So far, have just seen the 2nd period play. Best I can tell with the Avs, the legs aren't there and their brains are not engaged.

Every forward is late to the puck making the forecheck task impossible to properly execute.

The D is constantly allowing Star players to get behind them.

Nuke made one of the dumbest decisions I've seen him make in bringing the puck back to the blue line in the offensive zone and then giving it up. Plenty of time and space to have either backhanded it back into the corner or pass it earlier to the point.

Too many players playing like individuals.

MacK is out to lunch. I do not know why.

Manson is terrible tonight. Girard is having a hard time keeping up under the pressure. Walker is a penalty taking machine.

Georgiev is being hung out to dry. Too bad. He's moving pretty well tonight.

Comprehensive 100%. Musing about... no legs affecting no brains, or no brains affecting no legs? Or C... whatever C is?

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Lehky moved up, Nuke dropped to 2nd line

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

I think you need to re-evaluate Girard in this game. He and Makar are the only Dmen playing well tonight.

Sam is playing well but he's getting worn down. His lack of size and physicality is a vulnerability. Plus his partner totally sucks tonight.

Do you want to do what Canucks did or do you want to do what Bruins did? Give me a Jamie Benn arse kicking on the scoreboard blud.

 

[The Kingslayer]

@The Kingslayer best post of the year lol.

Because its true. I swear this team gets so bored that they need to find or create adversity. Its like a kink.

Avs just won five games in a row in the SC playoffs. It's only human to take a breather, especially when you know you split on the road. They have the switch to flip, we have seen it. Only thing is that they are getting a good Georgiev and that's tough to waste. But maybe it isn't a waste. I finally don't clench too hard when the puck crosses the blue line....

 

[GeoRox89]

Why do the Stars dive so much?

 

[katfude]

Dallas Divers

 

[sethro109]

More diving on Dallas.

 

[The Shermanator]

omg ref have some balls. That's such a dive lol.

Wasn't there a time when embellishment was an automatic fine?

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Jesus... what a f***ing dive. LOL

 

[AVSfan2daMAX]

Dallas would do well in Olympic diving

 

[GeoRox89]

Dallas would do well in Olympic diving

I guess they didn’t get the memo the Olympics aren’t until August

 

[sethro109]

Do you want to do what Canucks did or do you want to do what Bruins did? Give me a Jamie Benn arse kicking on the scoreboard blud.

I just don't see it tonight. Unlike last game, we're bleeding chances, not hitting and aren't getting any bounces.
