Post-Game Talk: Avs @ Canucks | Thursday, April 10th, 8pm MT (ALT) | All the Marbles
- Thread starter tigervixxxen
- Start date
No matter what, looks like the playoffs are starting in Colorado on Thursday night. Looks like I'll be taking Friday off work...
I'd put O'Reilly back at center and have PAP and McGinn on his wings, since Roy seems to want to go back to MacKinnon with Staz.

No, but at the sign of any struggles, he goes back to that and he knows it works. I just could see it happening.
Lol at that Torts pic. 
Roy, very satisfied.
Was it me or was this game very boring? Then you had Haynes PXP basically put me to sleep (why can't we get Marc for television????). Enough of that I would love to come in here without any hate and just say that was a solid 60 minute performance by everyone like against the Blues, but I can't. Malkin again, just looks so damn bad. OMFG if there was a way to switch the #7's from both teams I would love it.
This team is relying too much on Varlamov, more than I personally like to see. No offence to Canucks, but a team that defensive and struggling to score SHOULD NOT be able to put 40 shots against a team with 111 points.
MacKinnon
Landeskog
Johnson
Stostny
All looked great. The 3rd and 4th line is just terrible defensively and get caught for long periods of time.

It's because I am unbiased, too much of our fanbase has a huge double standard towards the star players which is unfair for the others. I do seem harsh on MacKinnon, but to be fair I am just as critical to ROR, Landeskog, and Duchene as well. Also MacKinnon, besides this week looked truly awful for a good month and half. Nathan is still at that point where is mistakes are extremely noticeable compared to someone like Duchene or Landeskog. So even though I "sound" like I hate MacKinnon, I love him, going to buy his jersey in offseason (due to a potential number change), and Avs DID NOT make the wrong decision picking him. All this does not change the fact that MacKinnon has had 3-5 brutal dives this season, something I cannot hide as a unbiased fan (I really hope he stops it).

Dives? He makes a point to stand up to every physical test that's put his way, and reverse hits guys all the time. If he's falling it's because his feet are moving so fast when someone interferes with him. He doesn't dive.
Shouldn't EJ get an assist for Malkin's empty netter? I swear he should.
Also, when are the Avs going to get a penatly shot? We seriously should have had close to 5 now (not saying Landeskog's trip was deserved of one).
Also I do not like how teams are going after MacKinnon and Varlamov so easily (as we have seen it with Buff). I hope Roy decides to put McLeod and Bordeleau with Nathan sometimes during his shift for crowd control.

You might not consider it a dive, but he goes down very easy when he knows he can get a call. I believe one of them was the last game against Nashville. Head flopping back, legs in the air, Kezler qualities.

Ha, Roy joking in the postgame that they'll tell Patrick tomorrow that his record was beaten, but his coach is happy that he beat it.

I'll give you the head flopping and leg motion a bit, but that's because he gets interferred with all the time and never gets calls because he's so strong on his skates. It's the same problem Forsberg had. They have to embellish every now and then to draw calls that are legit interference and hampering their scoring opportunities.

Not Great, Bob!
Not entirely out of the question that the Kings/Stars win against Ducks/Blues. Either way the Ducks game on Sun will be a back-to-back for Anaheim.
No, I mean Roy. He was joking around.
Roy is re-iterating that Berra is starting tomorrow. Varly isn't even dressing.

Is this real life? First in the central? I cannot even explain how amazing this season has been. Patrick Roy took a team that has been irrelevant for nearly a decade to the top of the league in a season. Just hand the man the Jack Adams now.

Mmmmmm. Lets hope for the best, and Allaire has really worked on his fundamentals these last couple weeks.

Seemed worded weird and its late
Varly didn't dress the last time Berra played either.
You're right that the amount he puts up with progresses with the equilibrium, but I wish he would stop overall. Forsberg, even though I have said some "things" about in the past, he never dove; even with 10 crosschecks in the back.
Also Kezler is a big man going after Duchene and MacKinnon. He is truly a *********.

Forsberg was my all time favorite player but he embelished as much as anyone back then. He had to though, because he was hacked, wacked, and bear hugged all game every game, and never got calls, so I never minded. He put Nate to shame in that department though, if you're upset with what he's doing.
Kesler on the other hand epitomizes a POS diver.
