GDT: 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs ( general talk )

[Veritas0Aequitas]

Potentially: No Pavelski, no Donskoi, an injured EK, and a shaky Martin Jones. Could be worse for us.

 

[Puckstop40]

This is the most heated I’ve been since game 7 against the Wild. I want to f***ing destroy San Jose. I want revenge for 2010 and 2004.

 

[Foppberg]

So happy. I like the Sharks too, always good games against them.

 

[Balthazar]

When is Game 1?

Friday according to Dater

 

[dahrougem2]

**** the Sharks, let the hatred begin.

 

[Balthazar]

 

[Avs44]

Friday start, yeah. There's an MMA event in San Jose's arena on Saturday so it'll 100% be Friday

 

[Balthazar]

The earlier the better

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

He's not wrong

 

[Foppberg]

He's not wrong that it's embarrassing, but it's equally if not more embarrassing to allow 4 goals in 5 minutes, regardless of the call, and to blow a 3-1 series lead.

 

[BattleBorn]

Rooting for an Avs sweep. Go get em.

 

[Foppa2118]

Might as well just say, "yeah we called it, go f*** yourselves."

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

Probably the worst penalty call I’ve ever seen in my life. Horrendous.

 

[Foppa2118]

This is the most heated I’ve been since game 7 against the Wild. I want to ****ing destroy San Jose. I want revenge for 2010 and 2004.

Such frustrating losses too. No calls and couldn't score in both series. Time for payback.

 

[avsfan09]

This is a worst case scenario for the Avs.

Gonna face a sharks team that is RED hot. Winning three in a row and down 3-0 in game 7. Worst case.

Imagine how often Burns is going to get walked. I'm quite comfortable with the Sharks.

 

[timothy jimothy]

Good teams don't let bad calls affect them. Even with a 5 minute major, scoring a goal on the PP isn't a given. They let in the 4 back to back to back to back.

 

[avsfan09]

Vegas deserves that after that BS penalty.

Karlsson's got mad hops too holding that puck in at the line.

Tbf one of the Vegas goals was an obvious high stick.

 

[avsfan09]

Vegas could have not let in 4 goals on a single PK. Teams get jobbed by bad calls all the time. Refs are bad and make multiple terrible calls a game.

The Avs should have had a PP when Bennett jumped at Girard. Instead they end up on the PK after Neal dived on the Cole hit.

Vegas still have OT to get it done. Its a terrible call but its a game changing call because Vegas didn't kill off the penalty...

Sharks got jobbed on that high stick aswell.

 

[Boulder Avalanche]

It was a long and tough series for the Sharks. That bode wells for the Avalanche if they can take advantage of the more beaten up nature of the Sharks. If we can play well in San Jose I like our chances in the series.

 

[MacBradley]

Would prefer to face San Jose anyway. Just don’t like them beating the crap out of us for the last ten years.

I kind of feel bad for Staz. All of the Avs, Staz, Boochene, and ROR almost made it to the second round.

I don't. He left the team to try and play on a contender, and even when the Avs started turning things around and he had a chance to return, he still didn't come back. He could be the 2C that we've needed the last two years if he hadn't been busy trying to sign his way onto "contenders".

 

[PAZ]

I don't like this feeling where people start thinking we're going to win the series easily. By the looks of how both San Jose and Vegas were playing the last two games, the Avs better be ready to amp it up quickly or else we're going to get smoked. It was nice finishing off the Flames in 5 due to our injuries, but we're going to face a team that has dealt with a lot more adversity.

 

[katfude]

I don't. He left the team to try and play on a contender, and even when the Avs started turning things around and he had a chance to return, he still didn't come back. He could be the 2C that we've needed the last two years if he hadn't been busy trying to sign his way onto "contenders".

100%. The only reason I kind of wanted to play Vegas was to kick his ass. I wanted to go through Staz, O'Money and Dutchy on the way to the cup.

Oh well.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

I don't like this feeling where people start thinking we're going to win the series easily.

We have been playing desperate hockey for weeks/months. Nothing new to us. I'm not too worried.

Yes, we have but the other teams haven't been.

 

[McMetal]

Just finished watching the replay. Now, caveat, I didn't get to watch the game live, but I don't see how Vegas got robbed here. The call was pretty bad, but the Knights had every chance to kill that penalty, and they blew it. Four goals in five minutes is a shit PK in any situation, much less a game 7. Everybody from Fleury on down sucked on that. Then they tied it up and had 18 minutes of sudden death to put one past Jones, until Barclay f***ing Goodrow of all people walks their D and stone cold beats Fleury. The refs didn't do them any favors, but they had their chances.
