Not disagreeing that some of the role guys play their role well.

But teams sporting Nieto on line 2, probably shouldn't win playoff games.

I seriously doubt it's going to be a permanent thing.

Only watched the last 5 minutes as I'm moving to Barcelona on Friday so things are a bit chaotic... but what a glorious win. Can we just have the boys play on the road the rest of the playoffs?

"What were you mad about"?

MacK: "I don't know. I guess I just get angry sometimes. It's a problem of mine"

Hahahaha I love MacK.

Shades of his After Hours interview when Scott Oake asked him what was wrong with a hit he lost his mind about and he said ‘Nothing. I was just mad’

Watch out MacK. That kind of admittance will get you red flagged in many parts of the country..... including the ones this series is being played in.

+ Seattle cannot skate with the Avs when the Avs play their style of hockey. It's night and day between these two teams. Problem is it's inconsistent. Last year was full throttle all the time. This year it's spurts of 15 minutes followed by BIG TIME crashes/lapses where the other team scores. Obviously missing talent on the roster but if they can keep the play tilted, they'll destroy Seattle.

+ Thought J.T. Compher was tremendous tonight.

+ Lars Eller is showing why the Avs acquired him. He's a fantastic playoff player, built for this kind of hockey and he fits so well with Cogliano and O'Connor - dare I say even better than Helm did.

+ Cale Makar still doesn't look 100% like himself but he was good today. Byram was also good.

+ The Dogg has officially joined the series. Made the Kraken his bitches tonight.




- Alex Newhook IIRC hardly saw the ice after the 3rd Kraken goal and rightfully so. Lazy turnover behind his net, then lazy coverage on Beniers.

- Malgin is scaring the f*** out of me. Seriously I think that guy could cost the Avs a game if it's close and he's on the ice. You never know what he's going to do with the puck in bad areas of the ice.

- Samuel Girard was absolute dog shit tonight. He's so afraid of getting hit that he willingly loses races to loose pucks instead of angling better. 1st Kraken goal was all on him.

- Georgiev needs to be better. Yeah we won but the Oleksiak goal can't happen. The Tanev goal in game 2 cannot happen. The Geekie goal I think in game 1 cannot happen. It's 1 bad goal per game with this guy it seems these playoffs. That cannot happen if the Avs want to go far.

Get some rest, get back at it and go into game 5 up 3-1 you idiots.

For all the talk of depth, the middle of the lineup showed up. O'Connor, Eller, Lehkonen, Compher etc.

 

[Spleenless Wonder21]

Given roster turnove, injuries, cap crunch, and Avs amateur scouting I don’t expect a repeat. But, at least beat the expansion +1 team RD1…

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

Like I said, Mackinnon xÆF% = 1.000.

He's a cold, dead, straight killer.

Ya know, that might explain his anger problems.

I wonder...........

 

[lionsDen]

His focus is not good. His positioning is shaky. But the Avs D coverage on shots from the point (ending in deflections) MUST be improved.

They need to control the players in front of Georgie better.

It’s their d zone coverage last two pucks not

The laws in that state just got a whole lot worse/better depending on your view

 

[Avs_19]

The Byram-Makar pairing has been incredible.

Killed them in Æ/60 all night.

 

[dahrougem2]

The Byram-Makar pairing has been incredible.

Those guys are going to be playing 26 minutes/night together starting next season.

 

[missionAvs]

Not even a little bit in doubt.

Nah. This game cements how truly disastrous the TDL was. Mac and Makar are playing like they're (easily) the 2nd/3rd best players in the game (all for the price of...15.8 million in cap...that's like 1.75 Darnell Nurse'!).

You won't get many chances with them both at their apex, and the only job management has is to make use of every second of it. And they didn't. Not even remotely close. Even a smidge more help and they're off to the races.

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

The Avs top players dominated the game. Plain and simple. Nate looked dominant and Makar was only on the ice for 5 chances against tonight.

Really needed that with Landy and Val out.

Hopefully Georgiev can look better moving forward after getting that stinker out of the way, because he wasn’t good tonight.

Seattle was leakier defensively tonight than the previous two games. They didn’t do as good a job as clogging the slot and neutral zone. Colorado took advantage. Big win.

Going to be the franchise's cornerstone for a long time. Byram is ONLY 21. Very exciting for us and scary for the rest of the league.
