Lol still posting?

Yeah, why do you ask?

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

We need Big Ol Carl, this sad sack Soderberg is brutes

 

[AvsFan29]

Yeah, why do you ask?

I think I have seen Makar get the puck through traffic and to the net more in his first 6 games, than I have of watching EJ for the past 9 years.

The guy just makes so many horrible decisions with the puck and it is seriously costing the team.

Watching him play makes it so obvious that we cannot afford to trade Barrie anytime soon or we will be looking for a new top 4 d by Christmas.

 

[Spleenless Wonder21]

This is why getting the chance to draft a guy like Kakko would have been amazing lol. Ahwell we should still be able to get something really good at 4

But, those “long suffering” fans in NY need him! They’re a small market, where no free agents, or college free agents want to sign, struggle to fill their arena, or make ends meet financially. For their sake I sure hope they get those additional must needed 1sts from Dallas, by reaching the WCF, & re-signing Zucc as well...

f***ing lottery format!
f***ing Edmonton!

 

[Balthazar]

Hot take trade EJ. Resign nemeth

From a strictly hockey POV I'd not be against it. There's more to it than that though (loyalty, leadership, NMC, etc)

Next game is a must win

Thank you. You're quite observant.

Alright everyone go to bed. No need for bickering the Avs lost and they made some idiotic decisions to get to that point. Bednar seems pissed and he’ll rip the boys a new one and get back out there with some intensity for next game. The sun will rise again tomorrow the past is the past we can’t change it. Just need to be grateful we’re still watching our boys play hockey in May. We’ll get em’ back in game 4 just gotta believe.

Best post of the nite.

Too bad he is a one man team right now. Grubauer is trying to help, and so are the 20 year olds on defense. But after that it's not particularly good.

Could imagine this team if he had a real 2nd line? One that could actually be counted on if the first line has an off night? Well I guess it's back to Soderberg, Wilson and Kerfoot.

I really hope Sakic is paying attention to this and actually addresses this issue unlike last offseason. Can't win big games with one line of offense.

Barrie needs to go...so inconsistent

That's ridiculous.

Ughh isn’t there already enough triggers tonite to go around???

 

[Avs]

Big big big game 4.

I just hope they come out and play like they can at home. They just had no answers for SJ tonight.

 

[AvalancheFan19]

Jost needs a promotion next game, 100%.

I’m not that pissed. Should’ve added an additional sarcasm emoji after the ‘ol Coach from Letterkenny kicking the trash can gif. Humor is my coping mechanism. Shockingly, it doesn’t always go over well.

 

[Patagonia]

Thank you. I've been getting lambasted left and right for criticizing him.

We’re not alone in wanting him gone.

What happened to the Barrie supporters?

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

Man, this place is so toxic. Two teams play the games. Avs made plenty of mistakes but the Sharks are a very good, veteran team.

Bednar didnt want to blame just the turnovers but there is a lot that goes into it. On the GWG, Mikko is just standing at center ice.

 

[Balthazar]

Jost needs a promotion next game, 100%.

I'd try him on the first line instead of Kerfoot.

 

[Avs_19]

Some of you are losing it.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Lol some.

Dude is criminally overrated. Puts up some points but is an overall weak D in so many ways. Soft.

 

[katfude]

My favorite thing is watching this happen every game:

"Where are the Barrie haters now?"

then the next game

"Where are the Barrie supporters now?"

ad infinitum

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

Looked to me that the Avs were fighting the puck all night. Even Mack.

Also generally 1/2 step behind in way too many puck battles. And made a number of poor decisions (and even bad guesses) that led to goals against.

The Avs absolutely weren't in synch and in tune tonight while the Sharks generally were.

And as a result, our power play was not good.

 

[Avs_19]

Barrie, like others, wasn't good tonight but the Avs would've been golfing a few weeks ago without him.
