GDT: Avalanche at Stars (Game 5): Do We Really Have To?

Just pretend to give a shit tonight, and I'll be happy either way. Losing a series 4-1 is a lot easier for me mentally to accept than getting to game 7 and losing. Too heartbreaking.

Breaking out the big guns...

 

[BaconNater]

Will nate be able to handle 45 minutes tonight?

 

[JudoKoala]

Won't be watching, hope they at least play with their chins held high. I just don't care at this point.

 

[henchman21]

More than anything, I want and effort. I want them to look like they actually give a shit. They can certainly win here, but they cannot put in a performance like they did in game 4. If they do that, tonight could get ugly.

I also fully expect 30+ minutes games from MacK, Rants, Makar, and Toews. Those guys are going to be run ragged tonight. Which could result in a win, but won't be sustainable to finish out.

 

[wayninja]

I can do this all day you guys (or at least until my 2pm meeting)

 

[RECKLESS]

They can win this. Hope they do.

But I'm not gonna wake up 3am for this one. Time for the team to actually wake up before me. For once this series. Do it boys!

I can't believe how much cheaper than grief counseling this is.

Bednar has aged about 8 years in the last week. Dude's hair went from salt and pepper to old man white. Looks like Wade Garrett from Road House... without the mustache.

Here we go again and hopefully for the last time. It's been an honor everyone. Tonight, I will be ever so slightly more pissed off than usual.

 

[Vk1ing]

I don't wanna be depressed on my birthday so we gotta win this one and I can drink away my sorrow ok Friday lol

MacKinnon & Makar:

 

[Bensch88]

I voted everyone since we all know the franchise will fold

 

[Avs2022]

I need to see Trenin and Duhaine hit hard, and hit often. I swear Bednar's system makes these people soft and not actively aggressive. We get killed by aggression all the time. Now that we have people who can hit, blow them up on the forecheck.

 

[BaconNater]

Trade deadline was fun this year atleast! We had hope lol

 

[The Moops]

Trade deadline was fun this year atleast! We had hope lol

And the first round!

 

[sethro109]

We just have to hit Tanev every time he touches the puck. This includes the top line actually throwing hits.

 

[BaconNater]

And the first round!

That is true, Game 1 was horrifying tho

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Epic loss incoming.

I'll go with 7-1 Stars.

Parise breaks the shutout to score in his final NHL game.

 

[Grackle Party]

We need @Sea Eagles now more than ever

 

[SirLoinOfCloth]

All I ask is a solid effort. If we lose after giving it our all, then so be it the better team won. But if we are lazy, sloppy, and not playing our game and lose that will leave a really bitter taste.

I believe wholeheartedly that this team can win this game, and can even go on to clinch the series, but it will take an effort they have not shown for 60 minutes a game to date. I know they are capable of it, they've shown it countless times over the last few seasons. Whether that long break after round 1 ruined their momentum or what I don't know, but this team is a different team to the one that destroyed the Jets.
