GDT: Game 6: Preds @ Avs| 4/22, 5pm MT | It Aint Over Yet

[Foppa2118]

McNabb couldn't figure out who Girard reminded him of. But for me, it is Duncan Keith.

There aren't too many defenseman built like him, that play like him. A prime Toby Enstrom has always been my closest comparison. Minus the drop off in his career the last few years.

 

[El Travo]

I'd rather lose 5-0 to end the year than have that kick-in goal last game be the season ender. Less bitterness to it.

Thank you all for the season

 

[LieutenantDangle]

Blessed to experience 6 playoff games this year. See you all soon!

 

[Landeslog]

Woah. When did Mikko turn 22 lol.

 

[Avs71]

MacKinnon took no solace in just making the playoffs. He was pissed in his post game presser.

He wants that Cup ring. And he will get it.

 

[GeniusSuperior]

Awesome season. I enjoyed it so much. At the start, I was hoping to look like a competent team and not like last year. Looking forward to what the future brings for us, though I’ll miss a lot of next year moving to Japan starting after training camp. I’ll still be keeping track and cheering the boys on.

 

[UncleRisto]

Welp... Okay. Awesome season guys and girls! I'm glad we can finally turn our attention full-time to trading top-4 defensemen and whether or not we want Stastny back.

 

[Spleenless Wonder21]

What'd he have to say?

 

[the_fan]

This team should be back stronger next year but the only thing I'm worried about is injuries. You can't win in the playoffs with so many key players hurt, and Varly, EJ being hurt all the time is worrying.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Laviolette had long conversations with both Bednar and MacKinnon while shaking hands as well.

Any respect this organization might have lost from last season has been regained and alot of that is thanks to Nathan.

 

[SuperJoe]

Very proud of this team, hopefully they keep building on this year. It makes the off season a little shorter.

 

[WarriorOfGandhi]

lads, I don't know much of anything about the sport that is ice hockey. I know it's a game played on a surface that man was never meant to be upon. I know it's a game of bruises and inches and heart and various other sports cliches. I know that was by far the most compelling season of hockey the Avalanche have played this decade.

I know all these things, and I hope that optimism for the future is not misguided.

 

[chet1926]

I'm extremely proud of this team. They didn't quit all season, gave us a hell a good run this year, and lots of a reasons to be excited moving forward.

It doesn't mean I'm not pissed off about their performance tonight. It was a truly awful performance tonight, I really can't pick one guy that played well. Nashville is a good team, but we gave it to them tonight. I hope this game stings our guys a bit and propels them to a summer of hard work.

Bottom line though is simple it was a great season and was a ton of fun to be a part of, but don't get complacent. The goal next year should be to get even further and expand on the success we had this year. I personally think we finally have the right group of guys who have their heads on straight and know the goal isn't just making the playoffs it's winning a Cup.

Cheers to a good season, I think I'm going to take a little break from HF and not think about hockey for a bit.

 

[Couchhasbeens]

There first priority should be to sign Siemens and Warsofsky.. there our number one defensive pairing..may the hockey gods make it happen.are future depends on it

 

[McMetal]

Just got back from the game. It sucks to go out this way, but winning two games this series was my realistic hope, so can't be too upset. At least for 5 of the 6 games, we looked like we belonged in the playoffs against the President's Trophy winners.

Hopefully, the team learned from these six games and grew. I wouldn't have traded this season for anything.

 

[Jagged Ice]

Any respect this organization might have lost from last season has been regained and alot of that is thanks to Nathan.

And maybe some to Duchene.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Im very curious to see how they do when the expectations are to make the playoffs next season. Lets see if this organization learned from 13-14.

 

[Mighty Makar]

Im very curious to see how they do when the expectations are to make the playoffs next season. Lets see if this organization learned from 13-14.

This is what I’m wondering. The Oilers were supposed to be contenders this season and we all know what happened. The Central is deadly.

 

[Pokecheque]

It has been a pleasure talkin' puck with you folks. Let's do it again next year!

Seriously though, after a season that truly broke me as a fan I'm beyond elated for everything that took place this year. What a bounceback!

Just gonna savor this for a while before getting back into the swing of things. To be honest I'm pretty burned out on hockey. But I'll be ready when the puck drops again in October 2018.

Good luck to the Preds...they earned it. The fact the Avs gave them an actual series banged up as they are speaks volumes.

Go Jets

Love P.K, but his antics this series made me lose a lot of respect for Subban the on-ice player.
