Dunno if I've ever before seen a sentence by the professor that is as straight to the point, sensemaking, and grammar correct (not gonna nitpick the 'I' here).
f***ing kek, so this was the stick breaking incident because of poor ice?
At least he seems to turn it up for the playoffs and that’s all that matters.
This happens when the Avs play the sharks. Remember when Kahkonnen had a game like blackwood had last night? Remember when Josef Korenar did the same against the Avs? I dont know what it is with the Sharks but the Avs love making their goalies look like prime Hasek. Ditto Arizona.
He looks amazing to start. If he can sustain this level of play into the playoffs the Avs might get past round 1.
I mean Saros and Hellebuyck are better than Oettinger. Saros for me is the #4 behind the Russian trio of Vasy, Sorokin and Shesterkin. Hellebuyck #5. But Oettinger is right after that, and that is about the list of "elite" goalies you know are going to be good. After that, it's a whole bunch of guess work. We won the cup with Kuemper. Vegas won with Hill. St. Louis won with Binnington. None of these are elite goalies, they just happened to play good. Apart from Kuemper, who had the worst stretch of goaltending for a SC winning goalie in like over 30 years. Makes our run even more impressive, probably the most dominant run in the salary cap era.
2 - 0 after 2 and everyone's a critic. How'd ya like to be 0 - 2 with TB being your next opponent.
I didn't watch the game, but just watching thr highlights showed the Avs had a TON of glorious, grade-A chances either get stopped, hit ths post, or get pushed off the goal line.
Agreed, my post had to do with when a goaler is on his game, you gotta make it tougher on him. Avs had some brilliant chances no doubt that we gotta give credit to Blackwood, but very few of those 50-ish shots had traffic or tips. A ton of them were straight at him where he kept gobbling them up. Again, Makar's GTG was due to traffic and I suggest that Avs would've been up 3-0 by the third period if they changed their game plan for those elements of traffic, tips, and rebounds. They kept trying to go for bar and downs and one-timers every single time besides the floaters from the point.
I don't care about your "what ifs," Avs should've been 5-1 yet made it tougher on themselves than what actually happened.
Wood is skating hard but that line has a full time passenger on it in Tatar.
Well, perhaps not strictly nonchalanche, therein is mixed somewhat ennui
Yeah you are probably right...the Kings would have certainly still scored that goal with 10 secs to go in the 2nd period even if Mack wins that faceoff.
