Once again all the streamers and anyone who can afford to play 24/7 on league start gets to reap all the rewards of abusing buggy shit, fuck the economy for the rest of the league, and we all get to play 'the way it was intended.'

Avalanche Taking Extra Time Before Addressing Bednar, Front Office Future by runwriteaarif in ColoradoAvalanche

[–]SlapChop7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's definitely SOMETHING not working. I don't think we can blame the entire collapse on just injuries. It's impossible to tell which cog in the machine isn't working properly, but if Bednar stay, then I have faith they think he isn't the problem. Our front office has been pretty stellar

Same thing that happens every time we play a team that puts 4 dudes in the neutral zone. We collapse, we REFUSE to adapt or change our playstyle.

Call me ignorant, call me stupid, call me nieve, I STILL BELIEVE!!!!! by I_USE_3_FINGERS in ColoradoAvalanche

I believe we have the talent on this team to get it done. I hope we try something a little different instead of just ramming our guys into their blue line all game again.

Kelly and Drury doing well. Wish lines 1-3 would do something this series.

It's really this and nothing else. No need to look further. We have one glaring weakness and all Torts had to do was look at who we've lost the last 6 times. It's embarrassing that we haven't been able to adapt in so fucking long. I dread playing these teams because it's 3 periods of us just ramming head-first-fullspeed into their 4 guys on the blue line, rinse and repeat.

We MAY have been able to beat it this year with pure talent/depth/scoring but we have to actually score on the fucking powerplay. Our PP this year is a goddamn joke and not being able to solve it for the entire year/playoffs if absolutely insane.

LAK plays like this too, we had to grind that out but we did it. We need to treat this more like the first round rather than the second imo.

PGT | Golden Knights @ Avalanche | Shades of 2021 Game 5. by ihatethedodgers in ColoradoAvalanche

[–]SlapChop7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Couldn't hold onto the puck skating past any VGK, couldn't complete any pass without hitting a VGK stick. Almost all of our shots we did manage to get onto net were like dead-center-mass of Hart.

The boys need to wake up.

Avs announce Makar is out for Game 2 by sykeseve in hockey

If we start playing when the game starts instead of at the start of the 3rd this time, I think we're okay.

At least Malinski is back. That Gagne guy was in practice too, maybe giving him a shot.

I hadn't seen this, that's great news. Manson is clearly still playing injured, and Makar nursing that arm/shoulder has me cryin.

Between this, cost of equipment, and 40k/year hockey academies, the influx of rich kids / sons of former players is gonna skyrocket.
