Post-Game Talk: Pathetic

[RockLobster]

I seriously want to know if LeBrun is referencing last week when Roy said it was "unlikely" that Duchene plays at all this series or if Roy REALLY did say that Duchene is ruled out for Game 5?

 

[the_fan]

People say Avs are built around Duchene, Landeskog, MacKinnon etc... but in reality they are built around Varlamov.

Without Varly this team is not here playing playoff hockey right now. And since they are, without Varly this series is probably 3-1 Wild.

Roy said it tonight.

#Avs coach Patrick Roy said Matt Duchene won't play in Game 5. He did not rule out return for Game 6.

So maybe game 6

This is the flattest I ever seen a team play. Lazy all around especially in the offensive zone. Varly has been nothing short of incredible the best goalie bar none in the playoffs so far.

 

[Avs]

As much as I hate to say it, this team misses Johnny Malkin and all his stupid turnovers and stuff.

I'm sorry Johnny, I will learn to appreciate your constant turnovers from now on.

 

[Bender]

Because I'm pissed the **** off like a 12 year old currently.

Ok.

You guys need to have a bit of faith that we'll be better at home and the wild will likely be worse on the road.

If I'm Roy, I'm dressing both Wilson AND Elliott for Saturday's game to give himself some options.

I thought Wilson looked real slow early on in the game but got much better as the game went on. I don't know what's going on with Guenin but it looked like he was trying to set an nhl record for missed assignments in a game. He's gonna have to be better.

just give it up we wont see nor should we subject duchene to this.

That dubious distinction belongs to McGinn

 

[The Kingslayer]

for being a hard nosed dman guenin is soft as hell on the puck. it takes him 20 minutes to make a decision and 90% of the time.its a bad decision

 

[Avs For Life]

Did I miss something? Were the Avs eliminated tonight?

Everyone go take a deep breath and get away from it for a few minutes.

We played horrible hockey for 6 straight periods and only lost by 1 goal both games.

As long as Varly is in net, we have every chance of winning this series. CHILL THE **** OUT.

Kuemper on facing only 12 shots: "Honestly, I can’t remember the last time I had that few. Probably back to midgets or something like that.”

 

[Hans Landaskog]

If I'm Roy this is what I'm saying to the girls, "I'm not mad, I'm just really disappointed."

 

[falconski]

Speaking of Johnny Mallon....is there any chance he plays

Should absolutely be motivation for just putting pucks on net and getting screens.

I mean they practically took all of their shots while giving him a clean view.

He's further away than Duchene is.

Wow, is that an actual quote? Please boys, nail him for that cockiness....

Might as well. His on isn't gonna do anything.

 

[the_fan]

Everybody gotta remember that this team wasn't suppose to make the playoffs with this d-core, I'm just gonna make the best of it, win or lose.

 

[RockLobster]

He's just telling it like it is, we put 12 shots on net and they were all weak...the only reason O'Reilly's goal got through was because it deflected off of Suter.

People look may say the Cooke hit on Barrie was the turning point, but the Turning Point actually came when Yeo replaced Bryzgalov with Kuemper in Game 2. With Bryz in net I feel like some of these chances actually go in, but Kuemper is playing with too much confidence right now.

It was the same thing last time though. Got more than 12 shots but very few scoring chances. Why will this motivate them and be any different?

 

[purplejesus]

there u have it. No duchene. just thinking about his dumb injury is pissing me off. the way it happened

Was it Matt Cooke's fault?

 

[ASmileyFace]

Boy oh boy that was pretty bad.

Piss poor effort tonight. 12 shots on goal with 4 coming in the last 4 minutes with most of that being on the 6v4? Bad... really bad.

Series is far from over though. Best of 3 now.

Big gut check coming game 5. Wild will be playing the best hockey they have all season. If we lose game 5 then I'd start calling that the sky is falling. Until then, chill out folks.
