GDT: Avalanche vs Rangers @MSG 5:00PM MNT 2/5/24 (Emergency GDT) New York, New York, does it really never sleep?

[chet1926]

Anyone expecting the Avs to get another PP despite the Rangers not getting one after the Avs were gifted a friendly fire tripping call was just screaming into the wind.

Makar would have had to been tripped while in all alone and fall to the ice without getting a shot off to warrant a call there.

I'm sorry this is the f***ing problem. It was a penalty not even remotely close and it possibly altered the game. It doesn't matter, that we got a nice call in the 1st, the refs can't ignore that shit. It's literally ruining the game, the refs have to be better than that.

What we all should be taking out of this game is Ryan Johansen needs to be traded or waived. Took a shot for trading essentially nothing to get him but it just isn't going to work here, much like Tatar.

Even strength tonight:

Avs win Corsi battle 55-52
Avs out-chance Rangers 30-25
Avs have more high danger chances 13-8

It was actually a very good road game for 40 minutes. Half of the Rangers scoring chances and high danger chances came in the 3rd period. The wheels fell off a bit and NYR gathered momentum.

If the Avs got a 2nd goal tonight, this one was over. Quick was great.

Mikko legit looks terrible this season. If he wasn't with MacK, he'd have like 30 less points. He looks like he spent the entire offseason eating and chain smoking.

I'd legit trade his ass for a haul next summer before we have to re-up him to a AAV that matches his numbers, but that's just me.

 

[The Moops]

I thought Parise played pretty well considering he hasn't played since last year. Seemed to give that line some jump that it's been missing too

Been watching NHL hockey since the 60's. This is the way it has ALWAYS been.

I'm all for calling the game by the rulebook but the NHL and their referees are not.

The referee looked up at the jumbotron and saw he made a mistake. So, he was always going to make it up to the Rangers. They didn't get another PP the rest of the game, so that's where he made it up.

After the long break take the point and head to the next one, nothing much to look into after this one. George looked good adds to the confidence for him which he needs, just take care of business against the devils

I'm with you. No f***ing way am I giving him a huge raise that he's gonna want.

Seemed to light a fire under RyJo's ass too.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Parise is awesome. Basically lehkonen type of player now. If he plays along side the big guns he would put up points.

Me too, l'm beyond over it. Trading him could fix a lot of holes.

I would, too. If there's any single player on this roster to be weary about extending long term based on playing style, age, and dollar amount it's Rantanen.

Unfortunately, I think the Avs are going to re-sign him when they can and the ship will sink with the core slowly like the Penguins.

I believe everything Ismo said.

Exactly the f***ing problem refs should get suspended for that shit. When you are actively trying to making up for a mistake you made early is completely unacceptable.

 

[sethro109]

We need a 2C so f***ing badly. Colton was brought in for the 3rd line and f*** face Johansen is a gigantic bust of a trade by Cmac. If he doesn't have the balls to pull the trigger on a 2C for this team, Sakic or one of the God damn Kronkes need to fire that POS and hire someone that will. Not addressing this will do nothing but screw this team over. Home ice advantage in the playoffs should be a priority, and that's not f***ing happening without a 2C.

 

[chet1926]

I believe everything Ismo said.

Me too, he didn't train at all this summer and it shows. Without 29 he'd been lucky to hit 50 pts this year.

 

[Dr Amazing204]

Tough loss gg Rangers go Avs go good chance the Avs go 2-2-2 on the road trip it would be real good if Parise can score a couple goals help the team steal a game or 2.

 

[wayninja]

Things will start to turn around once we get Landy, Nichuskin, and Mikko back

 

[BobRossColton]

Parise is awesome. Basically lehkonen type of player now. If he plays along side the big guns he would put up points.

Reunite him with Nelson...(or JEE if they've played together)

 

[dahrougem2]

Johansen's dog shit ass was 2nd on the team in Corsi while on the ice tonight and his line generated 3 chances for to 1 against lmao.

And that's the way it always has been.

I would note that the Avs wasted their power plays tonight. Another Avs goal in the 1st would have proved enough.

Also, Mikko got 4 minutes when he should have gotten 2 and Miller the 4.

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

Mikko is really only valuable to this team when he's sniping goals.

His decision making, the angles he took to the puck, the lanes he tried to pass thru tonight were garbage.

Right now, he's a one trick Moose.

We can't waste MacK's career with his utter lack of GAF.

 

[forsbergavs32]

I think some guys displayed rust tonight from the break, but Mikko and RyJo have been bad all season. Mikko woke up for one game after Ismo called him out and the rest of the time he's been slow, fumbling pucks, missed shots, missed passes. I don't know what his deal is.
