Series Talk: Stanley Cup Playoffs 2024

Svech just lost em any chance they had at tying.

I will never understand the whole signing Mikko to 12 mill contact will close the Avs contention window. That’s only giving him 3 more mill because he’s making 9 now and the cap will keep going up. The 3 mill won’t shut the Avs window

Right now that money keeps us from signing Mitts and Drouin. And as @Bender noted above, Moose's play this season leaves a whole lot to be desired, if it were not for RyJo he'd have the lowest GAF percentage on the team.

Mikko drove his line just fine 2 years ago specially when MacK was out of the lineup. He carried the Avs. He just had a bit of a down year this season as far as driving play but he still put up 104 points.

I get it but this isn't 2 years ago and you can have bad stretches within a season but he hasn't been that guy for more than 10 games this season, imo.

When you start paying and giving raises to players who have maybe gotten used to getting into some bad habits 'play-wise' even if it hasn't affected him 'production-wise', that's when you might get into trouble for the future.

Some of these bad habits like weak board play, half-assed back checks and falling down all the time almost as if to say 'I couldn't back check because I fell down in the offensive zone'... It's like dude, you fall down 'untouched' like 6-8 times a game...that's NOT normal.

If that's his game now at 27, I don't think I want to see it at 30+.

I think it was game 4 if I counted correctly Mikko fell down 5 times in the 1st period alone. That is taking Bambi to another level.

If only it was possible.....

 

[sethro109]

Looks like puck drop in Dallas is going to be at 42 after.

 

[Snow Arc]

Wow, it's almost like a real game!

 

[GeoRox89]

Come on, hurt each other and OT! That’s all I ask

 

[avalanche_country]

I’d like to see Duchene stick with his 1 career playoff series win.

 

[Snow Arc]

Pavs is nursing some injury for sure

 

[the_fan]

What is Barbershop shooting at there?

 

[Ararana]

Anyone else think these two teams look slow as shit.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Pavs is nursing some injury for sure

He's played like that all year. He's just old and slow




Eddie O already crying about calls against Vegas.

FTG

They are

I want this game to go 6-6 so it destroys both goalies' confidence and then go to 3 OT.

 

[the_fan]

Dallas is playing scared

Not going to be anywhere near 6 if that's the best Dallas' PP has to offer. The Vegas PK looked more dangerous.

My God Eichel is ugly AF

6 shorties on each side is even better.

I would def choose the bear if Eichel was involved.

 

[AllAboutAvs]

Wake me up when something happens.

 

[dahrougem2]

Call me over confident, I have the Avs slapping either of these teams around.

 

[expatriatedtexan]

I'll say this for NBC, as much as I absolutely hated McGuire, he didn't actively cheer for only one team. He was more like Bucci and would just cheer both teams whenever they do something really good offensively or defensively.

The broadcasts on TBS and ESPN this season have been absolutely horrible from that stand point. I mean, the entire broadcast crew was heartbroken when the Avs advanced. It was absolutely unreal listening to them lamenting the end of the Jets season like it was a local broadcast and not a national/international one.

 

[Ararana]

Pietrangelo just got rocked and had a hard time getting up...
