GDT: GAME FIVE: Avs @ Caps -- Mr. Burakovsky goes to Washington

[21]

Haha, the opponents will start hating us, we have to stop being this sloppy but we are still winning.

 

[forsbergavs32]

He’s going to have the video coach award named after him for sure. Heimlich for the HHOF!

he already has a lifesaving maneuver named after him, what more does he need?

Ej was vintage EJ, the number 1 dman that we were used to. Skating as well as we've seen him in years. Girard is a total stud, but I'm worried about teams taking runs at him. He didn't totally collapse after the Ovechkin hit, but it did impact his game. Kadri is a legit number 2C that we've been waiting for and while I was worried that we lost Barrie booming shot, Makar is just sooo much better in other aspects of the game that it hasn't made a huge difference. I can't wait until he develops even more.

 

[Papa Francouz]

Bednar said Nieto was the one who called Oshie offside before the review. Can’t wait until LBN joins the Avs coaching staff as the video guy after his career is over.

There are only 2 teams in the central with positive goal differentials - Avs (+10) and the preds (+2).

Subtracting the Avs’ goal differential, the rest of the central is a combined -23.

Warms my heart.

It's just a shame our prospect pool is dry.

Oh wait.....

The craziest thing is the central is supposed to be the strongest division in the league.

Wouldn’t call EJ a #1 but he looks alot better than last season and hopefully keeps this up.

I think it's mainly due to Dallas laying an egg that the Central doesn't seem great right now. Winny has actually surprised though.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

I’m so jealous that the Caps have Tom Wilson. Always an advantage when you have literally the only player of his kind in the league. Like the Patriots during Gronk’s prime.

Yeah right now the toughest is the Atlantic. Tampa is a win out of 3rd in the division, but right now they'll have to settle for 7th in the division.

 

[Avs_19]

They're feeling themselves right now.

Yea it’s crazy but still early. I expect NSH and STL to improve, as well as CHI.

WPG is who they will be - dynamic first two lines but no depth and couldn’t defend Fort Knox from a group of toddlers with butter knives.

Then you’ve got DAL and MIN teetering on the edge of being dumpster fires.

 

[The Merchant]

They got rid of Mike Haynes for him? Just terrible.

Haynes was losing his touch, so I don't blame them for that. But Moser just can't seem to track the game very well. He's constantly mixing up players and giving the wrong call, with McNab often correcting him. He could get away with that stuff on the radio, but he just can't on TV. McGahey is much better suited for it.

 

[Mitchgou]

That was a fun game to watch and on top of that we won. YESSSS

 

[Balthazar]

Bednar basically said in the post game presser that Grubi was excellent but the pokecheck attempts cost 2 goals.

 

[AvsMakar08]

Landy is so funny. He probably thinks playoff is coming but there could be a chance that Condor is traded this season.

He’s one of those integral unheralded guys that we’ll look back in 10 years and say “man he really played a great role in those first 3 cups.”

Avs showing off for Lauren 2

Anyone have a clip of MacKinnon with the huge reverse hit on Siegenthaler?

I sometimes don’t understand why you say the things you do.
