Avalanche choke lead against Washington!

[GirardIsStupid]

Are the Avs even mentally strong enough to be a real contender? They keep giving up big leads. And, yes, I'm an Avs fan. I'm also an FC Barcelona fan. I see a lot of similarities between the two giving up leads.

Interesting. I was going to ask you to be my Valentine too.

Jarome Iginla when he was with the Avs. I have zero confidence in Avs since then.

I thought the Sedin post was going to be the worst of the day. Well done OP.

I changed it a little while ago when I saw Avs giving up leads.

Well that makes sense.

What was it, prior to that? I only ask because you've clearly been around longer than most of us.....I mean, eighteen years of Avalanche hockey on this site, right? Were you always this jaded?

Never been like this until 2017 when they finished last. Glad to have Makar though. I love him. But, I'm unforgiving since then.

Ohhhh alright. That makes sense.

Nevertheless, it still doesn't explain why they give up leads. Washington is a great team. But, they were up 2-0 and were close to having me convinced they turned out around defensively. I was clearly wrong.

The 2-goal lead is the most dangerous lead in hockey.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

That team needs a vertean precense and leader like Gerrome Iginla

This.

I bet every team in the league has either given up a 2-goal lead this season, or come back from being down by two.

Hell, Dallas was up 2-0 last night in Toronto and you can bet I wasn't thinking "game over" at the time.

I can explain why - they're a bunch of kids still figuring it out. That said, the giving up leads thing has grown tiring to me as well and I hope they cut that bad habit soon or they're gonna be a 1st round gimme for the stars

Comebacks, this season, have definitely not been in a short supply and I think every team the Kings have played this year have come back from being down several goals against them in one of the meetings.

To expand on this, the Avs have probably blown 5 or 6 games where they led, in about a 12 game span.

In addition, the Avalanche were the absolute last team in the league to win a game in which they were trailing after the first two periods. They bucked that by beating the Blue Jackets a few games ago, but until then I could have said they didn't ever do that >,<

Good team, but stupid.
