GDT: R2G2 - Knights @ Avs - Night Night, Knights - 8PM

[jabubenice]

bottomline is we got away with one... they made their adjustments....we will make ours and lets see how the game plays out... Gru did what goalies need to do to win a cup and that is steal a game or 2... we move on to the next

 

[The Kingslayer]

Have the avs gone behind in these playoffs?

Yes for 7 minutes.

 

[jabubenice]

Another random thought... Burakovsky has really struggled with Compher as his centre.

I wouldn’t mind trying Soderberg in his spot next game:

Landeskog - MacKinnon - Moose
Nichushkin - Jost - Saad
Donskoi - Soderberg - Burakovsky
Compher - Bellemare - LOC

compher has no business centering ANY line!!

I'm starting to love Sharks fans. Their hatred for the blues and especially Golden Knights is amazing

but the blues hatred for us is even more amazing...

Woke up this morning wondering what the **** kind of brain Nicholas Roy has to make it to the NHL after being so stupid on that PK.

I actually like Roy but that was so idiotic on the PK. Mikko, Mackinnon, Landeskog and Makar all on the ice and you figure Joonas "Havent scored in the bumper position" Donskoi is the biggest threat there? hahaha

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

Tampa would definitely open up more and let the Avs play their style of hockey. The problem is that's exactly how Tampa wants to play too. Those games would all be barn burners.

Oh, I definitely agree and Tampa is more of a threat than Vegas.

I just don’t think Tampa could dominate play against Colorado the way Vegas just did though and that’s because of the Knights style of play.

That’s where I fear Vegas from a stylistic matchup for the Avs.

The Donskoi decoy works all the time!

He's also the one who let Jost get unmarked on the 2nd goal. Fantastic game by him from Avs POV.

 

[LostInMosEisley]

The current core has a 9-1 record in the playoffs when they have a series lead.

Sometimes you just have Dong on the brain

Maybe I'm remembering wrong but wasn't Roy the guy that didn't close down on Jost on his goal?

For sure, poor decision making. But at the same time, Jost scored an earlier power play goal because they didn’t protect the bumper player close enough.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

I think Scheifele sits for 1 game max. Yes they could be down 2-0 going back to Montreal for game 3 but Helle can steal game 2 or they can win with a team effort.

I get that people are rightfully calling for a long sit down for Scheifele but he's a high profile player on a Canadian team. He has a rep as a playoff warrior who plays the game the "right way". And he's probably his team's most important player. All that adds up to a minimal suspension. Is that the right way to dish out punishment? Absolutely not. But those are things that the league will consider. Even if they never admit it.

Scheif will be out longer than 1 game.

 

[The Kingslayer]

It would be so damn satisfying to beat Peter DeBoer. I hated him in San Jose and hes only gotten worse. Knight fans hated him too not long ago so they know they just have to ride for their pimp.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Yup. Might be why he was so aggressive on the bumper in OT having been burnt on it earlier.

Indeed it was. Two poor plays on the PK from him.

Lol, apparently NBC picked Fleury as the second star. 3 GA on 25 shots and an L. Cool.

 

[The Kingslayer]

So...line up changes going into the fortress? Have to imagine one of or both of Newhook and Ranta come out right? That line got their shit pushed in last night. Is LOC good to go or what? Also, how long you going to sit Byram out for? I didn't have an issue with Timmins last night but it seems he would be the odd man out even though based on play last night it should be Graves. Graves had played well before last night and has a longer leash so no chance he comes out in favor of Bo.

NBC worse than CNN.

Really strong performance by the most overrated player in all of hockey. 4th straight start where he got a save percentage of .900 or less. Hope he gets pumped again.

TMV doesn't believe LOC is close. I'd imagine both Newhook/Ranta come out, Byram/Soderberg come in.

Ya, I think we have to get one of Ranta or newhook out. But if LOC is good to go, both have to come out. Overmatched physically right now.

 

[CharlesPuck]

can we please not post videos of players wearing the uniprons. I want to forget those every existed

 

[Alex Jones]

Yup. Might be why he was so aggressive on the bumper in OT having been burnt on it earlier.

Yep, got burned earlier by not being aggressive enough on the bumper guy, got burned later being too aggressive.
