GDT: Colorado Avalanche Vs Minnesota Wild Jan. 19/2013 7:00PM MST

[Pierce Hawthorne]

I wouldn't go plus on Varly, the fluffy rebound in the slot on the first goal plus allowing three goals in a period. He did make some big saves though

Goals 2 and 3 were impossible to stop, especially 2. And the 1st goal wasn't entirely his fault either, hard to keep that rebound controlled from up tight.

 

[cgf]

Well I guess that would require some coaching... Something this team is lacking for years....

Who was saying that Sacco was developping into a good coach?
You kind of jinxed it

To be fair I said he could develop into a good coach eventually, even called him mediocre right now at the end of it. Plus the game's not over yet, there's still time to turn this around.

Yeah and you gotta see what leads up to that goal.

Wilson totally bought Parise's fake and Zanon was on the wrong side of Heatley.

 

[Avs_19]

This is one of Landeskog's most non-descript games going back to the beginning of the 2011-2012 season.

Agreed. The lack of scoring chances for that line in the first period was because Landeskog wasn't very good. Easily lost the puck a couple of times. Everyone sucked in the second and they were on the PK for half the period.

Duchene having to play the PK isn't helping either.

Be nice to have ROR right now

Exactly. Varly has been very good, just bad luck on 2 of the goals and sloppy defense on the 1st one.

We need one by the 10 min mark, or were gonna lose.

Can still win this but we need to dominate this period.

hes missing his comrade Ryan

Be nice to have ROR right now

The "we don't need O'Reilly" posts have stopped.

 

[Rhaego]

Be nice to have ROR right now

Not at 5.5 million it wouldn't

 

[RockLobster]

Be nice to have ROR right now

It would, but I don't see O'Reilly being the difference between the Avs being up or down in this game. No doubt the PK is going to miss him though (while he's gone and if he ever comes back)

 

[AvsWraith]

ROR might up his price after tonight. 7 Million!!!!

 

[The Shermanator]

Okay I just got home!!!! We will win now!

 

[avsfan09]

Avs are gonna need a big period from Landeskog. He's the only guy on the team who's paassion and heart rises when they're down and need a goal. Everyone else just seems to sulk.

Same old Duchene. Lots of hustle and fancy stickhandling, but won't use his linemates, and forces plays with about 2% chance of working. When is someone just gonna yell at him to quit trying to be so fancy and just play hockey?

Duchene has been one of our better players.

I'm not blaming him overall, but I wouldn't as far as him being a big plus in the second. The third goal was flukie and it happens, but its often the difference between winning and losing

 

[Unaffiliated]

Okay I just got home!!!! We will win now!

When Shermanator says "Believe"

I believe.

 

[benzino]

Okay I just got home!!!! We will win now!

Sign O'Reilly instead!

 

[Freudian]

If Ryan O'Reilly had played that period, he would have sensed Downie was about to take a penalty and skated up to him and said "no, dude".

 

[BoxOfChocolates]

I wanted to post in the shiny new GDT

Intangibles.

 

[The Shermanator]

Can't find a good stream, anyone have one?

 

[avsfan09]

Wow he actually put Johnson out on the PK.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Well Nashville lost

 

[Unaffiliated]

pm'd

 

[Ceremony]

Well, at least we killed that double minor.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Johnson still cant pucks to the net
