I know we have injured guys and stuff but the Avs need to start playing better. Can't enter the playoffs playing like this.
We get points but we're getting outplayed pretty much every game, even against the shit teams.

Its a process. Mackinnon is 10 yrs in and he only started improving slightly lol. Some skilled guys for whatever reason just dont know how to work a 3 v 3 OT.
Half of our team is dead and it took them a penalty in OT to beat us. They're going nowhere in the playoffs.
He is on My ignore I think. I suggest you follow suit.
Wee bit sensitive of a fanbase over there.

Yeah, it was an infuriating shift. And to think he could have won the Avs the game on that shot but missed badly, then proceeded to play some of the dumbest hockey I have seen all season.
He's no doubt feeling like a bag of ass after that game because he for sure knows he f***ed up in overtime on the turnover, the skating, and the penalty. He let the guys down.
It's practically a different sport
I would’ve expected better from Bo though. He’s got some good hockey sense, but It was not apparent at all in that shift.

They have had a few stretches where they have put wins together. However, this most recent stretch where they are getting points hasn't exactly been confidence boosting, they are falling into wins with some awful hockey.
There's a hope that they get into the playoffs and get locked in and play like they can. There's also a chance they keep playing sloppy, inconsistent hockey and give us all heart attacks

Just barely. Sometimes he won't take the low % shot anymore and give up puck possession (he still does it most of the time though).
They will literally get bounced by LA in the 1st round this year. It took them 7 games to beat the Kings last year with Quick in net and without Doughty.
Kings will win that series in 6 games and I cant wait to see the Oilers board afterwards.

Its a completely different game. Some guys know how to play it properly other guys just dont and im talking skilled guys.
Three useless appendages were dressed by Bednar tonight and he gave 2 of them significant minutes.
Compher - totally sucked. lost both face-offs on theOT PK, fumbled the puck on a wide open opportunity on the PP (what the hell is he doing on the PP anyways?) and has lost any jam he was channelling more than a week ago. He looks completely disinterested right now.
E-ROD - can't win a puck battle, can't enter the zone with control, turnover machine, has no feel for the game whatsoever. Should not be on the 1st line because he contributes nothing of value.
Newhook - his only asset is that he is fast as hell. But once he runs into traffic, it's a guaranteed turnover/give away.
The Avs had 3 PP and did nothing with them. The PP is terrible w/o Makar. And get remove Compher from it. He contributes nothing.
Georgiev deserved so much better. He was the more athletic and agile goalie.
Defensively, the Avs played a pretty good system isolating/shadowing McDavid. The OT PP was the killer.
It was a game where a coach with a depleted roster attempts to tighten down the hatches and minimize opportunities hoping for a fortuitist bounce. It ALMOST worked.

I expect it from Mackinnon but hes one of the worst skilled guys in OT. Bo will learn. We have to accept hes going to make these mistakes. Does that guy even have 100 games under his belt yet?

Yea when a team starts playing like garbage but they still win it can be a dangerous thing. You don't want that in the playoffs.

He has amazing creativity offensively, but I wouldn't necessarily call that great hockey sense. That play was dumb as rocks. He'll learn those aspects as he becomes a NHL vet.
I guess if it takes a weak OT PP for Edmonton to beat us with 5 quality players out if the lineup, then so be it.
That game should be a wakeup call to the rest of the West. The hottest team in the West, that is fully healthy and is getting every call barely eeks one out in OT. The Avs are going to be an incredibly tough out, especially if they can come anywhere close to healthy.

Lars needs to be the faceoff guy going forward. Compher can't ever get it done when the games matter.

I thought MacKinnon was going to walk in and fire because he was on his off-wing and had a one-on-one.
Instead he tried to dangle Ekholm and lost the puck in his skates. It resulted in the Byram chance but I can't help but think what happens if MacKinnon just walks in and rips it top glove like he so often does during regulation.
I don’t think it is. It’s different for sure, a LOT less room for error but it only requires some adjustments. All it took for MacKinnon to become a reliable 3v3 guy was to tell him to quit trying to power through guys. At 5v5 it’s kind of how his game is defined, in OT it’s just a turnover waiting to happen.
At least Dizee had the balls to troll like a man and post. This is just a wannabe
Bo should get some credit for handling Draisaitl tonight. Physically as well as skill wise.
