So glad Sakic was all in on Makar playing this year. Can't even imagine what we would like without him right now.

 

[cgf]

All because a few idiots defend Barrie and want to bench EJ.

I swear we have the stupidest fans in the league.

Is there anything in your life that you're not wrong about?

We got shutout in game 1 vs Calgary and won in OT in game 2. They never looked back after dominating Cales first game in game 3.

 

[SaltySkywalker]

It's not my fault half of you guys have no freaking clue what you are talking about.

Don't get your panties in a twist when you get called out on it.

Ice is terrible this time of year

Why? The conditions inside the Pepsi center are kept stable all season.

 

[Pokecheque]

Why? The conditions inside the Pepsi center are kept stable all season.

It's spring, weather is a lot warmer now, and the fact is that they're swapping a lot between Avs, Nuggets, and Mammoth games. In the past they didn't necessarily have to because the Avs and Nuggets didn't play this late past the season at the same time. It's impossible to retain optimal ice under those conditions, no matter what the efforts are to keep the heat and humidity out.

I'm not an icematician, but I think it has more to do with Makar than the ice. He's just got nerves right now.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Was so happy when Compher took a run at Karlsson early in the game.

You just knew he was going to have a night after that run at EK.

Thank you and not all Avs games are being played at the Pepsi center

Oh I agree it's part nerves , only makes sense

 

[The Kingslayer]

Next year 2nd line C , another year older with positive growth

No. We already seen how that worked out this season. Joe needs to be active on FA day. We cant go another season on hope and prayers we need to make sure we have a second line that can score consistently to help Nathan and the guys from having to play 25 mins. Jost playing on the third line for another year is fine by me.

I feel pretty confident in saying that the Avs wouldn't still be playing hockey if Makar didn't play. He's been one of our best D every single night.

It's not working out too bad 1 more win and a Conference final , being the youngest team in the league with loads of assets and options . Yes if there were someone legitimate that fit the plan but none of the names being mentioned are that

 

[Pokecheque]

They DEFINITELY wouldn't be playing hockey right now if Makar weren't playing. Someone on Twitter posted how many of his points were on game-winning goals. It's insane how clutch he's been, no moreso than he was last night getting that puck through an onrush of bodies near the net and to Landeskog for the OTGWG.

Prospect pool includes a 4th overall who looks damn good. Another 4th overall to come in a solid looking draft. Bowers and Kaut and another middling first round pick.

And Timmins may still amount to something.

And @cgf we got this Meloche guy.

That's a hot prospect pool for a team who's gotten to game 7 of the second round.

4/6 were on game winners, including a game winning goal in his first NHL game, on his first shot

If we win tomorrow, our pick falls from 16th to 27th+.

I'm fine with it.

If the Avs win tomorrow I'll have an erection for a week.

Not to mention that, during this postseason, he has had 3 or 4 top shelf passes that were not converted. I'm talking empty net, all you have to do is tap it in, gifts.

Also, he's had a couple lasers that barely missed finding the net. His 7 points could easily be 12 or 13.

Yes that's true nobody is denying the run we are on but we also need to build on this. Next season we should not be in a dog fight for a playoff spot. IMO next season we should be taking another step and not being a playoff bubble team. To do so its imperative that secondary scoring is addressed. Joe ignored it this past season and it nearly cost the team a playoff spot. He banked on Kerfoot, Jost and Compher to bring in secondary offense but it didn't happen consistently enough. Joe cannot go another summer ignoring this. Our big guys were damn near gassed after the All star break just imagine if Jared didn't have to play Mackinnon 25 minutes a night for offense. The biggest fish is obviously Panarin but that's a pipe dream. Getting Kevin Hayes to play second line C on this team will go a long way to helping Mackinnon and Co. from carrying the team night in night out.

 

[Iceberg]

Stop being weird.

Don't listen to this guy.

You may want to see your doctor about that...
