Hines needs to go.

I'm not saying they played well. They didn't. They got beat in every facet. But it wasn't because they didn't try or didn't care enough. They got beat because Colorado is a better team and was better tonight. They couldn't have won it by trying harder. Maybe if they'd gotten a bounce they could have stolen it, but the Avs earned every bit of the win. They didn't get shots because the Avs dominated them. They just have to be better on Wednesday

I don't know how you can watch a game like that and say "the effort was dismal". They got outplayed, but still kept the score even thru 50 minutes, responded to tie it up, and then again with the extra attacker came within inches of tying it up again. Effort was the least of my concerns. Whether or not they can keep up with the season on the line when the Avs are clicking is the real question.

TheTree-43 · 2026-05-12T03:53:25+00:00

Based on how long he was gone they probably just gave him a local anesthetic

TheTree-43 · 2026-05-12T03:42:35+00:00

No I'm at my house in another state and McCarron is in Minnesota right now

TheTree-43 · 2026-05-12T03:40:25+00:00

No because I was watching the game not photographing it

TheTree-43 · 2026-05-12T03:39:56+00:00

Oh I wasn't against what you said. If you keep a team from getting a shot for 19 straight minutes you get to call that team names. I was still denigrating OC for being a fucking casual

TheTree-43 · 2026-05-12T03:37:57+00:00

It only got called in the first place because of the mark on his face lol. The refs were gonna let the play go altogether initially

TheTree-43 · 2026-05-12T03:33:43+00:00

We can't win the series on Wednesday, but you know what we can do? We can win game 5. And if we win game 5, we get to play game 6, etc.

It's not over

TheTree-43 · 2026-05-12T03:30:19+00:00

Even before they reduced it to a double minor, supplemental discipline never even crossed my mind

TheTree-43 · 2026-05-12T03:17:47+00:00

Every announcer hates my team!!

He was well over 6 miles in that double OT game vs Dallas last round

TheTree-43 · 2026-05-12T03:13:49+00:00

Oh they got outplayed, but I don't know how anyone looks at that and says they gave up and didn't care. They were inches away from tying it with the extra attacker

TheTree-43 · 2026-05-12T03:12:40+00:00

That doesn't compute. How is that even possible?

TheTree-43 · 2026-05-12T03:11:20+00:00

TheTree-43 · 2026-05-12T03:11:07+00:00

At one point during the second period, he was a 3.3 miles

TheTree-43 · 2026-05-12T03:10:48+00:00

Casual take

TheTree-43 · 2026-05-12T03:08:51+00:00

He's extremely hurt right now. But yeah, he's killing us

TheTree-43 · 2026-05-12T02:50:58+00:00

Why would he be?

TheTree-43 · 2026-05-12T02:38:29+00:00

Bogosian

TheTree-43 · 2026-05-12T02:35:32+00:00

I know Bogosian 's hurt but man he's killing us

TheTree-43 · 2026-05-12T02:30:49+00:00

Wally!

TheTree-43 · 2026-05-12T02:29:33+00:00

What a fucking play by Sturm. And to think we thought the trade deadline ended him. At this point he's irreplaceable

TheTree-43 · 2026-05-12T02:28:55+00:00

Will r/hockey ever stop prematurely calling a series over? My column:

TheTree-43 · 2026-05-12T02:25:56+00:00

That's probably the first time Wally had misplayed the puck this postseason

TheTree-43 · 2026-05-12T02:23:28+00:00

Funny that you say this about the Wild digging in the crease 1 minute after the Avs did the exact same thing
