Chance to move into 1st in the west, and they lay an egg. Of the Avs last 10 games, 7 are vs playoff teams, 2 vs MIN who always plays us hard, and CBJ. Be lucky to get home ice in the 1st round.
Yeah Vegas roaring back too.Only thing I care about at this point lmao.
Just waiting for the playoffs to hurry up really at this stage.
I mean this loss sucks but we're 9-1 in the last 10, let's not overreact here.Chance to move into 1st in the west, and they lay an egg. Of the Avs last 10 games, 7 are vs playoff teams, 2 vs MIN who always plays us hard, and CBJ. Be lucky to get home ice in the 1st round.
At this rate the Avs might prefer Winnipeg given how bad that team has looked since the ASG. The Oilers skated circles around them tonight.Chance to move into 1st in the west, and they lay an egg.

I'm mad they lost. That's not a game they should be losing, especially at home.
I just think everyone had an off game, no one could consistently make or receive a pass. Looked like they weren’t taking the game seriously and when things didn’t just fall in place they couldn’t get it into gear.
Like I said previously, games like this are good prior to the playoffs. Stark reminder that you can’t just flick the switch every time

Ok, I'm convinced. I'm mad too now.
It's truly perplexing, as it seems obvious and will likely work beautitfully.Definitely too much passing around the perimeter of the ice tonight too.
Drouin - MacKinnon - Nichushkin
Lehkonen - Mitts - Rants
This is the combination I’d like to see, though I think it’s the one Bednar likes the least, because we’ve hardly seen it.
Me too man, me too.I'm mad that @sethro109 has to watch a 70s kung fu flick every time they watch a game.
Yeah I agree with that but he and Lehk play similar game. None of them have shoot first, pass first or playmaking mentality. While it’s still the regular season I think it would be better to shuffle lines there and not in the playoffs if/when Drouin-Mack-Rants stop working.Nuke is almost a PPG winger. I wouldn't really call him a defensive forward. He's a 2 way power forward.
I've been speculating that he's got a hand injury in there somewhere. He has not been stellar in gaining initial puck possession and control.I also wonder if Makar is using a new stick or a new flex or what. Because he is bobbling the puck an insane amount the last several weeks.
I would have adjusted the lines. But you know Bednar....Yeah I agree with that but he and Lehk play similar game. None of them have shoot first, pass first or playmaking mentality.

Yes. I am concerned about Nuke as well. He's a shell of his former self from a few games back. Classic boom or bust. It's like the adrenaline shot finally wore off.Meh. Avs didn’t put in a great effort and let the Habs dictate this game after around midway through the second. Give the Habs credit, they did a good job of disrupting passing lanes and seemingly won EVERY puck battle. Avs had plenty of chances to really swing momentum but never put it together after that garbage third power play.
Annunen was not the primary reason they lost but…he really needed to have the two goals he let in. Oh well, I’m not about to blame him when the entire team in front of him was just plain awful tonight.
Somewhat growing concern about Nichushkin, who’s been bad for a few games now and was positively dreadful tonight. Soft, slow, and just plain clumsy with the puck.
Anyway, I’m not that worried. Avs kinda needed a wake up call after getting away with one against the Pens.
Makar shouldnt be on the ballot let alone win it lol. Quinn Hughes is the best dman in hockey. Makar hasnt been good since that amazing November.And Makar was not the brightest standout on the Avs D. I really don't think he should win the Norris this season because his overall defensive game (in his own zone) has not been outstanding.
In that Q&A that Guerilla sports posted with Bednar from the other night, the very first question and answer had Bednar explaining that the game is basically getting the team to playing the system as early as possible.Yup. Jared deserved that L like his players.
He's been much better on the road, I wonder if he has issues with the altitudeI thought Mittlestadt was back playing for Buffalo again tonight. Not impressed with his conditioning.
I thought the same.The guys looked like they were hangover.
I thought the same.
Then I realized my TV was off and I was just looking at my reflection.
