Full of guts!!
Yeah he flubbed that drop pass into the zone, then battled like a beast to get it back and actually created a little scoring chance. Very encouraging progress

Was that his cross-ice pass to EJ? That was nice and came out of no where. So glad he's trending up.

The refs were definetly not on our side last night. Did that poster not see Grigs get his stick chopped out of his hands in the first? Or the obvious too many men penalty? Or how about the 30 picks the Sharks had? Who on the Avs dives now anyways? Landeskog? That dudes got a balance issue he aint diving.

I'll be honest, in my limited viewings I'm not seeing what's so terrible about him. Every time I watch he makes several nice plays and yet apparently he's just boot scum.

Literally no one (except Varly uncharacteristically the other night). They might be the least embellishing team in the NHL. They don't even snap their heads back on high sticks to get the refs attention, like seemingly every other player.
Lets just say this confirms what I learned in Psychology class last week about perceptual sets lmao.

I think Roy gives Allaire a lot of autonomy so that's why it works. And consults him on decisions as well.
Chuck has more issues in coverage, I think Redmond is worse with turnovers so pick your poison.

Zadorov, is that an option?
I mean if there is a chance we're choosing a turnover option here.

Roy is completely hands off with the goaltending. I know Roy has mentioned that a few times in interviews in his first year with the Avalanche because everyone assumed he would be doing the goalie coaching.

Pick your cyanide more like it lol. I choose neither. Call up Z or try to find someone before the TDL who can play with Bigras who looked pretty darn good last night.

Since Jan. 1st, @Avalanche forward MacKinnon has averaged 24.7 possession-driving plays per-20; that ranks number 1 in the #NHL

and YES YES YES again YES
but alas our cries will not be heard.. I think they will leave him.. must have done or said something to remind Roy how immature he is...
Ahh, where the eye test and the stat line goes in different directions.
I think we all know MacK has not been great for the majority of the new year either. His bad is far better than others good sometimes, but that is misleading IMO.

You wouldn't be able to know this from watching him play, though his game last night and vs the Oilers was very good.
If it wasn't for that stretch where it seemed all he wanted to do was stick handle through 2-3 opponents every time he entered the zone, I wouldn't have even thought he was playing poorly.

True his game is starting to come back to where it was in October. He was phenomenal last night and I think hes going to be even better on Saturday. Mack loves the big stage.
It's more than that IMO, his decision making in the offensive zone has not been great, and he has not been driving the net.
He's also been caught puck watching defensively at times.
He also went through some stretches when he was not shooting the puck either.
You sir have the burgundy glasses at full power if that's all the issues you seen with his game lately.
I'm really not trying to start a MacKinnon bash session, but hes had his share of youngster struggles in 2016.

For a guy with a great shot who scores an alright amount of goals, I find MacKinnon shoots it right into the goalie's chest way too often. He teases with chances but its like that finish we saw in the 1st round against Minny has all but evaporated, at least until the shootout comes.
