GDT: R2G4 - Stars @ Avs - The Gang makes a GDT

[The Moops]

The players current display is pathetic, but Bednar has done f*** all.

BeBoer is his daddy. Gives him a spanking every time they meet in the playoffs

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

So....... tell me what adjustments Bednar made in the Avs game tonight.....?

I will credit him that losing Nuke and Toews had a major impact.

But I'm not seeing an improvement in the Avs forecheck, the defense still looks terrible with lots of give aways and the Avs aren't winning individual puck battles.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Yeah… that’s completely irrational to me.

Any athlete can tell you they don’t need their coach to get them fired up for a must win game.

This isn’t a random game in January. This is game 4, usually the most important game of a series. Pep talks shouldn’t be required to get me motivated.

Exactly. This isn't game where you need motivation. It should be there automatically. Instead our big guns are sabotaging and throwing the game. That's their own bad mentality. They want out. They don't want to play anymore.

I doubt there's anything Bednar can say to make these guys play anymore. They throw in the towel, which is unacceptable.

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

When the players pout and don't listen to the coach, then it's time to move on. If Bednar couldn't get highly competitive MacK ready for this game, that's on the coach.

It says a lot about Bednar as a coach. But also MacK as a player and a leader.

His adjustment was removing them from the game roster.

 

[Peter Peckerwood]

I’m honestly so dumbfounded and stunned that I am not even mad. I am just resigned.

 

[RECKLESS]

The deserves to win ometer is going to be depressing at the end of this one

At least they didn't deserve to win.

[BleedWell]

F*#% YOU CALE!
What a trash play.
Hope George beats him up this intermission.

At least they didn't deserve to win.

 

[AvsFanJosh]

Terrible 1st, hard to watch. Funny thing is, Mikko will probably score the 1st goal lol.

 

[ASmileyFace]

I’m honestly so dumbfounded and stunned that I am not even mad. I am just resigned.

I've just been walking around my house watering plants and cleaning with this on in the background. It's over why waste the effort and get more invested at this point.

Adjustments??? How can you possibly detect any adjustment if players are out there going through the motions.

The players have given up. What on earth makes you think they’d put into effect any coach’s adjustments or requests if they don’t give a f***?

Yet MacK is frustrated and pouting. If you're going to ask me which one has to go first, well it's going to be the coach 10/10.

[CharlesPuck]

The Avs are only dumping it in to get a line change...

And then when they try to take possession into the offensive zoen, they go to the boards and get the puck taken away. Time after time.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Huge changes need to be made this offseason. Rants and Nuke out, fire all the coaches. This team is clearly too comfortable and they are too comfortable with just one cup

I think the word you used is perfect: comfortable. They are way too comfortable. Comfortable enough to throwaway the season. They think nothing will happen to them even if they do crap like this.

Time to change things up and put the work clothes on again.

 

[MacKaRant]

I've just been walking around my house watering plants and cleaning with this on in the background. It's over why waste the effort and get more invested at this point.

Plants are probably moving faster than Rantanen at this point

I hate how right you probably are

 

[MacKaRant]

...to make it 1-6

Or Nuke

 

[Lonewolfe2015]

The stars are more than capable of skating hard and showing the team how it's done without Bednar massaging their shoulders and wooing them inbetween periods. Beds may not be a master tactician, but he's a pretty darn good coach and we're lucky to have him.

The top players need to wake the f*** up and start skating like they want to still be here.

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

His adjustment was removing them from the game roster.

"Scotty, we need more power from the engines!"

"Sorry Cap'n, we're all out of dilithium crystals....."

I think just the news of those 2 being out just destroyed any motivation.

They look like deer in headlights frozen with no idea what to do.

Not sure who that's on, players or coach, but either way they screwed.
