I really don’t want 26-28 minutes for MacK down the stretch… really good way for him to not have any legs for the playoffs.

Without a 2C and Nuke, that might be the only way the Avs win some games against decent teams. So Bednar will absolutely be doing that.

I get he will… but that juice isn’t worth the squeeze.

RyJo hat trick incoming (3 own goals)

Won’t be around until maybe mid-late 2nd period, going to a memorial service for my cousin.

Sorry for your loss. Hopefully the avs win one for your cousin. Go Avs.

Condolences, take care.

The Avs have scored a total 6 goals in their 4 games this week including the Girard goal from center ice.

Mackinnon went cold and it turns out that no one else can score.

 

[BobRossColton]

6 for
16 against
Nate 1 singular point

 

[MacKaRant]

By the end of this week, we're going to have enough L's to be able to spell Llewellyn.

There's a W in Llewellyn

Turns out there isn't a W in Llewellyn, I guess?

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Don't let Bednar see this.

 

[RECKLESS]

Good job sending a message to CMac this week.

 

[CharlesPuck]

Parise has ruined this team. 0-4

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

I said it before, but it sort of feels like last season after the TDL where the team seemed frustrated, and betrayed by managements complete lack of faith. The guys that played on those Lacroix team have been talking about how his constant attempts to improve the team boosted their confidence. This is like the exact opposite

 

[JLo217]

The unwillingness to do anything to this point is mind blowing. They have to be seeing it too.

I watched it yesterday, so indeed another loss. Seems these away games in the East i can watch are cursed this season.

Anyway, i did read the game thread and it was indeed not pretty, but people went bit hyperbolic with negativity. Yes, it was shit performance, or string of them, but teams get hot and cold all the time. We are missing 2 important players in the form of Landy and Nuke, they are pretty much our second line, that is missing. When we were doing well, before the All-Star break, we did not even need them, as Mack, Makar, Rantanen, or even the likes of Colton, Drouin, Wood or O´Connor would play well and outscore the opposition each game - i watched the game against Washington, when O´Connor scored hattrick and it felt almost effortless. It did not mean, we are world beaters, primed for the Cup, but neither does mean current shitty form we are a bad team, out of the blue. So dont panic. Hopefully we will get our mojo back soon, Nuke and Landy return for playoffs and maybe add someone at deadline and we will be fine.

Yeah we need to chill with the ups and downs of the regular season. It's pretty meaningless. Having said that, management needs to prepare the team for the postseason and that means proper team construction and a successful TDL. There is work to do.

After the Florida game going off per/60 numbers to account for games played differentials the Avs are:

9th in Corsi
6th in Scoring Chance %
9th in High Danger Chance %
9th in Shooting %
28th in Save %

So uh.... a slight issue in goal. Lol.

Parise has ruined this team. 0-4

It's plausible that he brought losing with him.

 

[rmthomson21]

Don't let Bednar see this.

Inb4 goalies retiring after 7-8 years with hip issues

 

[dahrougem2]

Lol what the f*** is that old fart going on about? He played 60+ games only 4 times in his 19 year career
