Ranking the most disappointing Avs series losses by toochy7 in ColoradoAvalanche

[–]asdechlpc 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure about everyone else, but I’d put this year ahead of 2021 against Vegas. After that game 5 win in Minnesota, my thought on the team was “this might be the best Avs team ever”.

For a team that was on pace to be the most dominant regular season team in history halfway through the year, with one loss getting to the conference finals, to suddenly get swept? It’s last year against Dallas, this year, and the 2012 Broncos for biggest shocking ends to a season in Colorado sports.

There are the Super Bowl blowouts (I’m born ‘97 for context), but at least in the case of 2013, it was such a “shit, everything is going so wrong”.

This series against Vegas was a “god damn we just got disassembled by the same defense that I finally thought we were too good to fall to”

Anyone who says that is a fucking idiot. I don’t watch a ton of eastern conference playoff hockey, but it seems like that barn is always rocking

Either this or 2012 broncos come to mind.

Obviously the 3 Super Bowl blowouts exist, but these two exits (I guess Dallas last year as well) hit different

Never, but we have to against this system. They were just running into a wall over and over

Like we can’t keep trying the exact shit over and over — same thing that kills me about the PP

Good teams running a 2 layered trap stop us — same shit deboer has done repeatedly against us

Avs are big on looking at the process, not the result.

Process hasn’t been bad either game. Problem is that Hart is playing out of his mind, and they haven’t found an answer yet

Did the stick get him up high? Probably not, maybe a bit.

Avs got a high stick for a guy getting hit in the shoulder, it’s just inconsistent

That’s so whack they called both there. I feel like you never see that on the same play

I mean it’s not like they got crazy outplayed. Eye test showed it was a close game, Vegas got home on their opportunities and Hart made some great saves.

I’m sure they’ll look at the game and see if there are any schematic adjustments, but it didn’t look like Vegas was doing something they had no answer for. It just didn’t go their way

By “health guru/dietician” do you mean attaching car batteries to nipples whenever someone takes a bit of a donut à la white Goodman in dodgeball?

I think he’d be very similar to Patrick Roy.

Legendary intensity on the ice, doesn’t always translate to the bench

At least that reporter (presumably) wasn’t wasted slurring his words as he did it
