Anyone not possessing the initials KK is exempt. Everyone else is fair game after this turd circus. Should be like the handshake line at the end of the game. He can just skate down it and hack away.

It's nice they were at least able to show at least one highlight coming back from the commercial break.

That crap right there is inexcusable. Stop playing with the puck if you can't complete your damn passes. Stop lollygagging it around.

Avs jumped overhead at this match. 55 shots vs 20. But it's just one game. No team can play as fast for a long stretch

The shot counter for the Avs has an itchy trigger finger. If it's even close to the net it's a shot- for them.

Anyway, an off night. Rather than talk about who was bad, it would be a shorter conversation to talk about who was good. Rask was OK, keeping in mind that I have very low expectations for him. Kap was ok...that's about it, for me.

Well that sucked. And, anybody who complains about the Wild announcers should listen to the Avalanche feed. It’s like a bunch of 8 year old boys who found a stash of Penthouse magazines.

They do really like what they see. I listened to their feed all night. Well, until about a quarter of the way through the 3rd, when I turned it off and went to bed.

Anyway, we looked like a team that grew fat on Coyotes, while the Avs looked better than I've seen any team look at any point this year. I wouldn't expect us to stay that bad, nor would I expect them to stay that good. This one's a loss, move on to the next.

Cant expect to win every single game. At least this one was against a reasonable opponent. They were still in the mentality that we were playing arizona

I’m hoping we get matched with Vegas in the playoffs. We can beat their style of hockey. Not sure we find a way to shut down the Avs though. I’ve never seen our defense that outmatched before. I had no confidence in any defensive pair that didn’t have Brodin on the ice.

I'll put more stock in the next game. The Avs are a very good team that just got a bunch of key players back so I'm in no way dismissing what they're capable of, but what we saw last night didn't even resemble last year's Wild. I don't know if it's the travel or the thinner air or what, but outside of a handful of players it seemed like no one could skate or handle a puck. Some of that's Colorado's speed but a lot of it was just terrible execution.

It's not often you get to use "the team looked like they were on a 60 minute powerplay" as an insult, but here we are.

Is there any update on Dumba? Hopefully he will be okay and not miss too many games.

The Avs are vulnerable to fast, physical teams that can counterpunch, like VGK. We have some pretty slow players in our lineup that find it tough to measure up against their speed.

If Dumba is only day-to-day, then he’s got an incredible talent for making minor injuries look brutal. :laugh:

I mistakenly thought he had a season-ending injury the first time and hopefully that’s the case again this time.
Zucker had that same talent.
