GDT: R2G3 | Dallas Stars @ Colorado Avalanche | 10pm ET 8pm MT | Series tied 1-1

[Spleenless Wonder21]

deboer knows how to play against bednars system to a t

Play big boy hockey. Bednar’s system is neutered. Not sure how this core won a cup at this point, save for avoiding Dallas & Vegas, then getting a depleted Tampa Bay in the finals.

 

[henchman21]

We have Mitts now for a 4 mil.3C. That's what he should be

You can calm down with the hyperbole at any point.

 

[the_fan]

Gotta give Dallas credit. They suffocated the Avs defensively

 

[jabubenice]

I wonder if we are paying the price for overplaying 29 and 96 during the regular season. They look worn out.

When Dallas are playing this suffocating type of game, you have to be able to make passes and Avs weren't today.

Im not sure mikko even played in the regular season despite the points

 

[Canadiancon]

Team needs Drouin for game 4 in the worst way.

Wayne Gretzky wouldn’t even help these guys.

 

[katfude]

Bag skate

 

[AvsCOL]

Lots of hockey left, folks.

Mikko has been lazy all f***ing season long. If anyone should have an extra gear right now it's him.

 

[CharlesPuck]

What a f***ing pathetic display by this team, you could hardly tell they are in the playoffs

Definitely didn't have playoff energy or feel tonight. Felt like a sleepy November game.

 

[cccoltsicehockey]

I hope Bednar kicks a trashcan in the locker room after this effort. That was hard to watch.

 

[Ararana]

Yup. They’ll lose in 5 IMO

I’ve got them losing in 6. They’ll win game 4.

 

[nammerus]

Tampa in finals wasn’t a good team.

Not particularly. On their last legs, carried by Vasi and missing their number one center.

 

[AVSfan2daMAX]

Just wasted two great performances by Georgiev. That's the most concerning

 

[AvsWraith]

Trade Rants this summer. f*** him.

We can't keep him anyway., so yeah.

 

[The Shermanator]

Probably the worst Avs game I've ever watched. Even though the score was close I've never seen a sloppier game. 30 something shots on goal but.... 2 scoring chances maybe?

I guess credit to Dallas but holly f*** I never want to play Peter Deboer again. So f***ing boring.

And for got sakes get us a new announcer.

 

[AnimalMother73]

Bednar only has a cup because he never had to face DeBoer in 2022 lmfao

It’s really frustrating to watch how effectively DeBoer teams can neuter the Avs. I blame Bednar and the players for it. No adaption or discipline when things aren’t going their way.

 

[Muffin]

Getting sick of Bednar, get Rantanen off MacKinnon's wing for god's sake he's killing every play.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Lots of hockey left, folks.

If they keep playing like they did today, that’s unnecessary torture to the fan base

nazri!! we missing that aggressive push

 

[sethro109]

f*** him too. That first goal can't go in.

 

[PowerMac]

This is why you don't take games off. Getting complacent in game 2 thinking they'll win game 3 at home. Soft mentality.

 

[forsbergavs32]

Georgiev showed up, no one else did. This team just can’t beat Dallas.

 

[The Shermanator]

Need to win 3 in a row now. Brutal.

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

Its a game of millimeters. The Avs were off just that much on just about everything

Gotta give Dallas credit. They suffocated the Avs defensively

They are who they said they were, A balanced, well coached, team focused hockey organization.

 

[henchman21]

Call me crazy, but I still believe.

Stars played a great 3rd, but the Avs are beating themselves here, just need to execute better.

Getting Drouin back would do wonders for this team.

The Stars are executing better though. Their gameplan is keep the Avs to the outside when they are in the zone, stop clean zone entires, counter attack and count on your talent to capitalize on chances. The Avs need to get to the dirty area of the ice or this is 3-1.
