GDT: Game 64: Avs vs Canucks | 7:30 PM MT | February 27, 2019

Stupid ducks lost.

 

[Joe Sakic]

Not sure why there are so many complaints about the lines meshing, etc. We generated 45 shots on goal tonight and hit a few posts...AND we won. I thought all 4 lines played well tonight tbh. We aren't going to score 4-7 goals every night.

I cannot wait to get Cole back. Nemeth has had a few bad games in a row now, and while Graves can dazzle with a great play here and there, he will also ice the puck or turn it over here and there. Need more consistency out of him if he's going to be a regular NHLer.

Overall, good game. Would have been much more lopsided if we didn't run into a hot goalie. These are the games we were losing 2-1, and now we are finding ways to win. Keep er goin.

 

[BleedWell]

Rantanen unbelievable too. Easily the most pressure and makes it look so casual.

Yes.
Avs have managed to score four times after the regulation this season. Once in OT and three times in a shoot out.
This is how the scoring stats look:

Rants 3 goals
Soda 1 goal
Rest of the team 0 goals

Because this team squanders early scoring chances, and then tends to let teams back into the game, and lose.

This team sqaundered points in 20 games this year, and now we're fighting for a playoff spot, while we should be a top 3 team in the division.

It's unbelievably annoying, and frustrating.

What a guy. I don't think he even lifted his arms to celebrate afterwards.

He just does not have any feelings. There are some people in the world that just don't have any feelings.

The only players that pissed me off tonight were Wilson, Barrie and MARKSTROM. Wilson, honestly how the f*** do you hit the post there. Barrie seems to have lost a step or athleticism or something not sure why he looks so damn stiff. Markstrom just an asshole for being so damn good against us always.

I know Soda gets the glory tonight but that save Varly made on Horvat to save the game was amazing. Nemeth screened him perfectly on the leivo goal. Mack and Mikko were amazing tonight.

I’m so drunk right now. What is life!?

Avs win in a SO?

Not buying it.

Future Joe Sakic created Soderberg and sent him to 2019 to Make Avalanche Great Again.

 

[mapletreemarty]

This is one of those games we’re gonna shoot ourselves in the foot

Don't you mean pass?

 

[Avs]

Soderberg is God

I think it had more to do with the Russians. Make Varlamov Great Again.

Problem with Barrie isn't that he has lost a step, it's just an effort issue. If it isn't easy Barrie wants no part of it. He just wants to coast around pick up some cheap points here and there. If it involves any work on his part he just kind of shies away and coasts, which usually costs us.

It's not very surprising that coach has no faith in him in OT. And if Girard could shoot at all, he'd would have taken his spot on PP1. Can't wait for Makar. It will be nice to have an actual PP QB. Not a coaster content to just drill shin pads from a mile out.

Haha I did notice that Barrie didnt see the ice in OT at all. It was EJ and Girard. Dont really blame Jared to be honest.

He's just a fat guy trying to make a living, leave my mans alone.

Nah this is MAGA country

 

[AllAboutAvs]

Great game overall especially by the two goalies. If not for Markstrom it could have been 10-2. Great effort. Sometimes they just don't want to go in.

I really really like this Varly.

 

[AvsFan29]

Lol not for long

 

[Avs]

Been sitting in the Steak n Shake drive through for over 10 minutes. Plenty of time to reflect over this win.

So happy we won after regulation. That is all.

Barrie was on the ice for the near Canucks goal with Pearson.

Holy hell Nemeth did all he could to lose us this game. That was a brutal showing from him and shame on Bednar to keep playing his ass, the puck was a literal grenade. Barrie was caught again camping in no man's land the entire game. Girard was amazing, probably our best defender and MacKinnon was flying.

I really HATE this constant roulette wheel lines changing every other shift, just stick to some combos for godsakes.

Not really happy about tonight, we blew the lead and blew another potentially important ROW. Avs played insane, it could've been 4-0 after the first period if it wasn't for Markstrom, but it's another game where Avs clutch ability didn't show up either. I'll take the two points though and move on because we now we're facing the Sharks next I believe and that's going to be a tough game.

 

[Gabe the Babe]

I thought Z played well tonight, and the staff must have liked it too, because he led them in even strength TOI. He was involved offensively and moving his feet. They'll cut his ice if they don't like how he's playing, which they did last game. He definitely got away with that boarding call though. Graves will almost certainly come out of the lineup if/when Cole comes back, just look at the TOI. He basically disappeared in the third period. I'm not sure Cole is all that close, even if he is skating.

EJ has gone back to looking slow after having a burst in January. He's been awesome on the PK though.

The only reason that game didn't end in regulation was Markstrom. Shouldn't have made it that far.

Definitely shouldn’t be Graves. Definitely take Nemeth trash ass out.

Right. He was on his stomach in the crease
