We're forever haunted by Pracey's incompetence every time Sissons touches the puck against us it seems.
We just aren’t close to the Preds/Sharks/Jets in our conference. They are so, so much better than us.
I don’t get this.
The score was 3-1. Nashville scored a bad goal on their 2nd and a lucky goal having a bunch of breaks on their PP goal.
Colorado had two goals taken away for tacky offside calls.
The predators outplayed the Avs in the first. But that was it.
The game should've been a lot closer, but we just aren't close to them.
It's not an insult really, we're just not a contender yet.
Totally agree with everything you said here. I hate to say it but what you said about the refs not wanting to hear it from Laviolette probably had some influence on the calls.Totally agree. I didn't see a definitive look on either one. That angle is deceiving all the time with the snow on the ice and lack of sharpness on the blueline. I didn't see any white between the puck and the blueline either.
I swear Laviolette gets a **** ton of calls because he screams at the refs every single game over every single play. Both offsides calls would have given the Preds a penalty if the refs upheld the goals. You don't think they knew he was gonna blow a gasket if they called it that way?
On the flip side, they have no problem making calls against Bednar because they know they won't hear a peep about it.

Is there a worse group of forwards in the NHL? This team can make the playoffs, but it is going to come from the top line and Varlamov playing elite. It either needs to be a borderline shutout for Varlamov, or 3+ goals for the top line.
I think we all knew this going into the season, but having such a hot start may have skewed the view.
Yep it's going to be an uphill battle with injuries due to poor Roy drafting. Until we can push guys like Bourque to a call up role, instead of every day player, we'll struggle when injuries occur.This is what some ppl refuse to get. Player we drafted 2-3 years ago should now be ready to come in and help out when injuries hit. But because we were really poor with drafting/developing before Roy quit these guys are simply not there. So we are forced to play guys like Dano/Bourque/Dries/Greer who a not really NHL material. And this is the reason why losing 3!!! middle sixers hurt us a lot more than other teams.
And maybe, just maybe, Sakics approach to let the kids play and NOT bringing in help for our secondary scoring wasn't the smartest idea either.
Pardon my sour grapes, but does anyone have a better look showing this was conclusively offsides? Thats the best look I can find and honestly can't tell. It's so grainy....
It really is , I know it's not Joe's style but I'd like to see him make a call to the league . These overturned calls and the reffing against us is too frequent.I still don't think it was offside. Only reason it looks that way is because when you zoom in so much it gets distorted so it looks like there was white.
Not to mention the ridiculousness of zooming in frame by frame to see if a play is millimetres offside. The challenge is so abused now.

Varly to CGY for Smith and a 1st.This can't be! I was told we were the 4th best team in the league!
A legit 2nd line would go a long ways to curing the Avs' ills. If the top line isn't carrying the team, the Avs don't win most of the time.

Trade a conditional 1st and something else for Stone. The condition would be that Ottawa gets the 2nd of our 3 1sts in the draft.
Trade a 2nd and something for Hayes (**** it, we already have two 1sts and two 3ds)
I am seriously curious what Treliving would offer for Varly though. His ass is as good as gone if they miss the playoffs again. Mike Smith is legitimately horrendous. There’s been smoke around Varly and the Flames before
