It’s unreal what calls they get. It’s also unbelievable what they don’t get called for.It shouldn't have been a penalty, his stick is very clearly lifted by the Vegas player, it's not a high stick if it is lifted like that.
The refs just reacted to what they saw, which was a Vegas player hitting the ice. It sucks and it changed the outcome of this game.
I can see why Vegas succeeds, they get every call, they get all the lucky bounces against the flow, they get unreal goaltending and every single player on their team is having a career season. They're probably going to get beat round 1 of the playoffs and then suck next season. It's the exact same formula the Avs used the 1st season under Roy and we all know what happened after that.
Perfect if Landy play well ,with Soderberg we can have a good second line. And Andrighetto had already play (well )with Mackinnon and Rantanen.Maybe y’all need to stop taking Landy off line one? He’s been the best player on that line for three games now. How’s taking him off this late in the season supposed to help? Dense...

The Avs were the better team on Saturday, and for 40 minutes tonight were the better team again. They came out flat in the 3rd and lost the game a minute in, but the effort was there in 5 of 6 periods + an overtime.I disagree. When push came to shove, the Avs did not play to win the game in the 3rd period. This means they didn't play a full 60 minute game. This means that for two consecutive huge games, the team hasn't come out to win.
Flower played great. Hell the whole Vegas squad played great but this team lost after the 2-1 go ahead goal, not at the 60 minute mark.
Edit: Again, I wouldn't trade the season we've had for anything (well except maybe a better season haha) but it's not wrong to criticize them for their last two piss poor efforts.
I thought EJ was the best Avalanche player last night.EJ was absolutely terrible. Easily one of the 5 worst games I've seen him play.
Exactly they get away with a lot of little things that the Avs and other teams get called for every time.It’s unreal what calls they get. It’s also unbelievable what they don’t get called for.

I stopped watching after Vegas' 1st goal because it was clear the Avs wouldn't come back. Everything but the skating itself looks slow right now. I guess, our boys have started to think too much and facing a Fleury who's on his game only intensifies this. To be honest, considering the remaining games I think we lost our ticket to the playoffs last night but since our current problems are mostly (mostly means like 60 % here because we also don't have a 2nd and 4th line - Soda's line is a typical but excellent third line) on the mental side in my opinion a good team meeting might turn things around again.
Having Sven defending down low for MacK n Mikko while setting the tone physically seems like a great idea...
I've come to terms that people will always want Landy off that line. It doesn't make sense, but people will always want it.
4 turnovers that lead to odd man rushes in the third.EJ was absolutely terrible. Easily one of the 5 worst games I've seen him play.
Probably knows he didn't play well but playing almost 24 minutes, guy needs a rest.Mackinnon all pissy in the postgame lol. He legit looks annoyed.
