Alex Jones
BIG BOWL 'A CHILI!!
Kerfoot will be in the AHL in 2 years. He's only in the NHL because of the lack of depth on the Avs.
He won't be. Like him or not he produces points. A 40 point guy is valuable somewhere

When we were up 2-1 we ended up getting a 4 min powerplay and we failed to score. Pretty much after that is when we decided to stop playing hockey.Wow. Complete opposite of what I, and I’m sure the rest of us expected
The Avs need to be relentless with their speed and transition game. Run em down and keep the pressure on Jones. Possession and instant breakout. They're not only good at it, but I think will be SJs kryptonite too.
Trying to match the Sharks' physical game is just a recipe for disaster.
Thanks for reminding me, Mikko is a **** for allowing Lebanc look like a 50 goal scorer. Completely and unnecessary play there to try and go for the hit where it was so easy to bypass it.Girard was clearly rusty and wasn't good at all but neither were many others. Benching him after this game wouldn't be a smart call IMO.
People filled up pages of the GDT ripping Rantanen in his first game back as well when they lost. It's one game. Relax.
They just looked complacent on that PP which gave SJ life. Huge kill and we looked too cocky and passive
I'll take just a few shots that don't hit the goalie square in his chest.Someday Kerfoot is going to unlock the secret of how to shoot a hockey puck and become a 50 goal scorer. This will seriously happen.
Girard was awesome in the first round. Give him a break we need him if we're going to win this series.I think Girard needs to sit next game. He doesn’t have that IT factor you need in the playoffs quite yet. He looked scared and he looked lost and made some pretty boneheaded decisions. I love the guy and think he’s great but Nemeth did great for us last series and Girard just doesn’t seem ready yet for the big stage like Makar has shown.
Thank god we didn't lose the first game last round. I knew we weren't contenders.Season's over. No way the Avs can come back from being down 1-0 in a series.

Girard had a bruuuuutal game, but I hope most of that is just because he has sat for so long. Hopefully he gets back to playing as well as he did before he got injured against Calgary.
That's f***ing dumb to sit your best players. You live and die with them.I don't think we should have changed the lineup. We should have stuck what got us to SJ in the 1st place.
Barrie and Girard together was a dumpster fire. We need a guy like Nemeth with one of them to win puck battles down low.
I'd sit Girard and Brassard and insert Nemeth and Andrighetto. Keep it the same as we had vs Calgary.
Not at all buddy, that whole play started because of Mikko going into "should I cheque him or should I not" mode. LeBanc is a great goalscorer so I am not trying to call him a bad player, but if Rantanen decided to just poke it away we wouldn't be having this discussion.Oh come on, even after mikko missed that hit it took a remarkable play from Lebanc to score. All you can do on those is tip your cap to the guy & go to work at the other end.
It sucks that when we need physicality and intimidation we just look at Zadorov and only him. Pathetic how soft the rest of the team is
Oh well. I still think whatever happens in this playoff run at this point is gravy.
They didnt look old and tired today thats for sure. Rewatching the game now and wow it seems like Soderberg has aged 5 yrs based on his play. EJ looks like hes playing with a piano on his back.This is true. However, we are facing an old, tired, injured team that got lucky beyond belief to get out of round 1. If we were facing Vegas that'd be another story but right now this is our series to lose.
Yeah, especially Soda starts to worry me.They didnt look old and tired today thats for sure. Rewatching the game now and wow it seems like Soderberg has aged 5 yrs based on his play. EJ looks like hes playing with a piano on his back.
The team hadn't played for a week and Girard played his first game after being out with an injury. Brassard just came back after being down with the flu. No need to panic now. I won't be mad if Ghetto replaces Brassard, though.I don't think we should have changed the lineup. We should have stuck what got us to SJ in the 1st place.
