GDT: Game 67: Avs vs Wings | 7 PM MT | March 5, 2019 | Remembering Legends of the Rivalry

[The Kingslayer]

He didn't get it over to Rantanen but set up MacKinnon with a 1 timer that should've ended the game in regulation.

yup. Solid save from Bernier. I was yelling, " Why have a toe curve Nathan?" and then he goes on to show me in the Overtime lol.

So is Zadorov hurt? I couldn’t understand from twitter if he left the game twice?

He was on the bench when the game ended

 

[The Kingslayer]

One of the less mentioned bright spots has to be JTC. 30 points in 51 games, on pace for basically a 25/25 season in a full year. That's the type of scoring depth the Avs could make some noise with in the future as the team grows. And he just keeps getting better.

Guys gonna be a solid 3rd liner for years in this league. Second best release on our team after Nathan.

And on the ice to celebrate with the boys

Yeah, the bench celly was hilarious

This big question is: Is Cole an upgrade to Nemeth on PK, this is debatable (in other parts of the game he usually is though).

PK has been better with Nemeth

"Talk to me, Peter"

Silence.


Favorite Moser moment, McNab had enough of his foolishness

Team as a whole is better without Cole. Eye test says so and so does the stat line.

He asked him that like 6 times in a row during our last shootout lol

I'm by no means a supporter of Cole this year, but 5v5 shot suppression is actually pretty good with him. Best on the team in fact. He's been hurt by a low on ice save percentage. I'll go hide now.

What I don't like about McNabb is how he sugar coats everything.
Last night, "Bednar is really coaching out there. He's putting the top line out there on icings to get the match-up he wants."
Well, no shit. An 8-year old can figure that out. Call it like it is, Peter, and you'd be more tolerable.

 

[Pokecheque]

It's clear the reintroduction of Wilson and Cole to the lineup has slowed the team down considerably. Detroit looked like they were skating circles around the Avs last night. And as Bednar said I didn't like the game from most of the defensemen. Erik Johnson especially was playing an insanely dumb game.

BUT...I suppose Tyson Barrie deserves credit for finally showing up big.

No excuse whatsoever for taking a too-many-men penalty this late in the season, that late in a crucial, crucial game. That's on the coach, and he knows it.

Come back soon, Nieto!!!

Moser is way more the problem than McNabb... I don't think Haynes was the greatest or anything, but he certainly wasn't nearly as bad as Moser. McGahey can't replace Moser quick enough...

Not even close, Moser sucks, but Haynes was trash and his mannerisms were by far the worst.

No need for that. Great win and it really paid off to trash Barrie and Mack
But still don't get fooled by one game.

Hello Bleedwell, I have this amazing plan for Avs and I want to know your thoughts.

- Trade Barrie to Dallas for Julius Honka and their 1st rounder.
- Trade Makar to Panthers for Borgstrom and Trocheck.
- Draft Jack Hughes with Ottawa pick.
- Draft Arthur Kaliyev with Colorado pick.
- Draft Anttoni Honka with Dallas pick.

Thus our team is...

Kaliyev - Borgstrom - Rantanen
Compher - MacKinnon - Jost
Brassard - Trocheck - Calvert
Landeskog - Hughes - Wilson

Girard - Johnson
Honka - Honka
Zadorov - Cole

What do you think?

 

[Lonewolfe2015]

Honka - Honka

Sounds like a line from a raunchy comedy movie. I approve.

 

[Spleenless Wonder21]

Honka - Honka

Elvis Presley would Burning Love that pairing...

This team has some of the best personalities in the league.

I wonder how much of this is due to orders from management to “tow the company line”. I live in Ohio, & as a long suffering Cincinnati Reds fan I can attest that their TV announcers are guilty of the same (over)sugarcoating/positivity.

I understand not wanting your employees to spend the duration of games crapping all over the team. Conversely, you can try and put lipstick on the pig, but you insult your fans intelligence, as they know it’s still a pig. Need balance. Praise the positives, but don’t try & manufacture them.

That goal was titanic.

Prolly has more to do with his partner than him lol as an example last night he makes a between the legs no look pass to a Detroit player and Z has to make an amazing play to cut the guy off and no shot was taken. I'm not sure he was the worse d last night. That title belonged to Barrie up until the final minute of the game where he did his job.

Everyone plays a role. Peter is the eternal optimist. Rycroft is the "tell it like it is" guy. I'm fine with the balance they've struck.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Mcnabbs groan when they showed the replay of the Athanasiou chance in OT right before the goal cracks me up everytime. Sounds almost like sideshow bob.

I agree. I guess my general point, which you stated better, is McNabb has a role to play, & doesn’t necessary buy all the positives he spews, & likely bites his tongue, or is very very constructive on a lot of critical plays which occur in games.
