Shot attempts: 21-19 Avalanche
Shots on goal: 10-5 Avalanche
Scoring chances: 12-5 Avalanche
High danger chances: 2-2
xGF: 0.92-0.67 Avalanche

Still have to be better, but thankfully MacKinnon started to skate the final 5 minutes and generate chances when he remembered no defensemen can stop him one on one.

Hits: 22-15 Avalanche

Need to keep pounding the Stars’ D over and over.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

That Makar incident seemed to piss off Mack. Good

And Makar. He tried to hit Dallas too.

Hits: 22-15 Avalanche

Hit Tanev the f***in bandaid.

The high danger is what bothers me.

 

[Markster]

Zero- zero but aren't we all encouraged? Of course Dallas will adjust and counter but if we get this level of effort and solid D for 5 more periods, I like the chances for the Avs to advance.

Yep. It even started 6-3 for Dallas, so the Stars seemed to want to throw the body early to try intimidating the Avs. The Avs responded by pounding Stars defensemen. Heiskanen took a couple big hits that period and Colton popped Harley with a sneaky dirty but legal hit late

 

[MacKaRant]

This core won a cup. You wouldnt know it by how scared they look out there.

Or maybe you would. They know what it takes and it just seems like too much work this time around.

 

[sethro109]

What happened exactly? They didn't really show shit on the JumboTron.

 

[jabubenice]

Colton popped Harley with a second left. Nice. Looks like he's in pain.

i thought it was manson hahahah

Mittelstadt is so f***ing creative. If he was capable of putting the puck in the net he’d be amazing.

he is capable, just needs to do it more often

 

[Go19]

Dudes literally scored the last two games

That last goal was a miracle not a lot of skill involved

Let's keep popping!!!

Marchment ripped Makar's helmet off and popped him

 

[dahrougem2]

The high danger is what bothers me.

No doubt, but this is where analytics confuse me. To my eyes, the Avs created three legitimate high-danger chances in the final 7 minutes:

1) Manson slot shot from Mittelstadt pass
2) MacKinnon solo rush
3) Lehkonen rebound off MacKinnon shot

3) Lehkonen rebound off MacKinnon shot

And we had plenty of good chances but muffin shots.

 

[wayninja]

Hit Tanev the f***in bandaid.

Yep, tooth through the lips. Did the same thing to Tim Sorg in 7th grade. f*** that guy.

 

[sethro109]

Marchment ripped Makar's helmet off and popped him

Of course we didn't get a PP.

 

[Polite HKYDiscussion]

Great period!

We look like a bunch of Stanley Cup champs out there. Keep playing like this, and we might never lose again.

Dallas had 5 shots and two of them were dump-ins from the wrong side of center

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Henrik Lundqvist explaining how rebounds will almost always be 90 degree angle ranges depending where the initial shot came from.

God I could listen to him talk hockey and especially goaltending everyday all day.

He’s a f***ing genius.

 

[dahrougem2]

I especially loved Manson hammering Wyatt Johnston along the Stars bench. Gotta keep hammering these guys.

 

[BigCKU]

Keep it up. I quality chances started to come late in the period. Keep up the pressure and some will start to get through.

Most places simply base it off where the shot comes from.

Thank you for being one of the few people to acknowledge the idea that these are separate concepts

 

[avsfan2189]

we all have to be happy with the effort here, just gotta get goals now

 

[sethro109]

I'm not happy with all the falling we're doing. It's like everyone decided to barrow Mikko's spare skates.

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

We know DeBoers doesn't want to trade run and gun opportunities with the Avs. He will demand his players play a tighter forechecking game in the 2nd. Dallas is allowing the Avs way too much room to skate in.

The Marchment hack was a calculated intimidation move. Take him out next period.

Good news.....MacK has his 5th gear going......
