GDT: Avalanche vs Stars, Round 2, Game 6, 5/17/24 @8:00PM MNT: I don't wanna golf yet!

[dirtydanglez]

This team overall wasn't going to win the cup, especially after Nuke. Georgiev certainly not the first issue for them to address.

hes up there in priority. could be up there in the ability to make a move too.

not sure the avs can do anything with nuke at this point

 

[PromisedLand]

I just remembered I have a Costco thing of chickpea pasta in my kitchen. never tried it. no good?

tastes like trash

 

[Nikki Potnick]

Was this the first 2OT game of the playoffs? I feel like there hasn't been many OTs this year, or long lasting ones.

 

[twostroke2023]

Well, congrats to stars and their fans. Start had a game plan, executed it to perfection and were the better team won. I still hope you guys don’t win the cup because I hate Benn, but best of luck going forwad

 

[PromisedLand]

On google apparently this is how the scorecard reads LMAO (not sure if they fixed it) not photoshopped btw

Canes-Isles game 4 went into Double OT

I knew it (I wanted to post, perhaps I should've); the Stars are more calculated, methodical. Reminds me of a Trotz hockey versus the world.

I have no skin in this game. For all the glitz and glamor of the Avs; they have beautiful skills; you cannot deny. As a hockey fan, they are a gorgeous team. Build on that. Thought they were the next Tampa; still think they are.

Biz annoys the f*** outta me.

Go Stars! Bring our Pavs the cup!

Thats one of the reasons i want Dallas to lose

 

[ScottyK]

Come on man, Parise deserved a cup don't hate on him

I said what I said.

 

[eviohh26]

I'm still rooting for Vancouver to beat Edmonton but personally, I see Dallas as the team to beat this year. I feel like either Canadian team would be outclassed.

We will have to see wont we. 1st it was Canucks will be bottom of the Pacific. Then it was they will be lucky to make playoffs. Then it was they will regress and fall apart as the season goes on. Then it was they were the most likely team to be upset in 1st round. Then it was Edmonton would steam roll them with ease.

Not saying we are favorites by any means . But we can hang around with the best of them. Anything can happen. We are just happy to be here. House money baby!

Ah yea, I felt like there was one, but couldn't think of it.

 

[LaCarriere]

All the gloating, cup or bust and saying Canucks are frauds. They were super annoying to deal with and the media didnt help with that and made it worst

As someone who is not a fan of any Canadian team, this is every fan of a contending canadian team. Fans of every team in contention crapping on each other, but we have 30+ years of no canadian team winning.

At least oilers, vancover, Montreal, Ottawa and flames have SCF appearance . Leafs fans should be the last ones crapping on any teams fanbase.

 

[Elbombatzo]

to be honest, i can almost live with these results, although the defeat hurts of course. The series was very good from my point of view. overall, dallas was a little more balanced and mature than the avalanche. you had the feeling in every game that the game could go either way. and we at least put up a fight despite being down 3-1. my respect to both teams. now go get that cup so pavs and benn can finally retire. i can't stand them anymore .

Congratulations, well deserved. And many thanks to the Dallas fans here, most of whom I have found very enjoyable.

Avs made a mistake.

Should have went after Lindholm and Tanev instead of Walker and Mitts

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

First time in NHL history that a team won an OT game 3-1

 

[Zrhutch]

Landeskog suspiciously absent all series. You’d think a good captain would play through injury… gotta wonder

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

The biggest what if is in the Avs franchise is gonna be them not getting Jack Hughes in 2019. Obviously you can't fault them for that but it's still something to ponder, they'd be a dynasty with him. But yeah 2C has been an issue since Kadri departed

 

[Sombastate]

The better team won. That was pretty evident.

 

[Jargon]

Thats one of the reasons i want Dallas to lose

Oh how we rejoiced when Dallas beat Vegas… (we have very little else to cheer for)

 

[awegrzyn]

Duchene referencing God

Rumor is Duchene was referencing Marner.

I mean I'd be rooting for Vancouver against Dallas too. But my feeling about next round isn't an indictment on Vancouver as much as it is being very impressed with Dallas. Their systems play, team efforts, and resilience have the markings of a cup winner and DeBoer is starting to show he finally is capable of adaptation. Anything can happen, sure but I don't think either series Vancouver has been in has featured the best hockey and I think, with how they've labored to generate chances against Edmonton's defense consistently, I think the Nucks would have a lot of trouble against this Dallas team defense.

With the playoff history between Dallas and Anaheim and then separately with Vegas, I'm rooting against them as a pseudo-rival, but from a neutral hockey evaluation perspective, I think Dallas has the special sauce to win it all. Like you said, we'll see when we see.

Avs made a mistake.

Mittelstadt is a long term solution and one of the best player in the series. It was Calgary who turned down a 1st and Ryjo for Tanev so they pivoted to Walker.

The missing piece is Landeskog, if he comes back healthy they’re still a contender but the Avs window is closed if he’s done.

Avs made a mistake.

Mitts was very good. Walker was decent at times. Don't think either of those pickups were problems for them.
MacKinnon and Makar being bad for most of the series was a bigger issue

 

[Foppberg]

why do we care that it was duchene?

Cause he’s a spineless creep.
