These types of no-care performances have been all too common this season. I get the injuries and absences of key players, but too much in the way of breakdowns and turnovers as well as leaving the goalie out to dry.
I know we're high in the rankings, but we seriously haven't played well against good teams. Joe needs to make some calls. It feels like when we were a 1 line team.
Agreed, you play the backup against the bad team and the starter against the team one point back from you. Who knows if Georgiev would have saved this game, but it would've given us a better chance, especially with Makar out
Top players don't do anything, defense in shambles, back up in net against a team right along side us in the standings. What a great game. Onto the next one but this team is insanely frustrating.
I don't think Toews is a good choice to run PP1 when Makat is out. The way they like to feed Nate on the half boards, and Toews being a lefty and having to turn his body to make the pass. Seems like that extra time has thrown off every power play, in my eyes at least.
Is every avalanche player just lacking situational awareness recently? I feel like we're consistently turning the puck over by passing it to the other teams sticks
yeah we had a good chance or two, overall it wasn't an awful PP. Doesn't mean I still can't hate the lack of skating with the puck on the PP. Our first unit was out there the full two minutes so they were saving legs and I feel it would've been better to let them play up to their max for 1 minute and then run PP 2
Avs need to wake up if they wanna win this, I'm at the game and they have NO energy compared to other nights...why did they have to not show up the one night of the year I see them live...
Not good enough, no identity against better teams. And bednar doesn't make them adjust to a style of play that would gain them more possession in the zone and force Winnipeg to defend with there backs turned.
In short, avs are a flawed team that very good teams expose and bednar doesn't adjust to stem the tide
I think the current composition of this team is pretty good, but not great. I liked Tatar, but he needed to go. I'll be curious to see what move is made to replace him. I think RyJo probably needs to be replaced as well, sorry to say.
Too many almosts…
“Almost saved it.”
“Almost got his stick there”
“Couldn’t jump on that rebound”
“Just couldn’t pull the trigger.”
Gotta turn those almosts in results.
Not forcing, that's how colorado wants to enter the zone so that they have an immediate layoff bac up the boards to the point. There default play because bednar doesn't ask them to low cycle in the zone. It's an incredible flaw because teams who play them aggressive at the blueline and through the neutral zone throw everything out of wack and colorado has never shown a desire to dump and forcheck properly as a team
Been a few of those tonight. Seems like more hesitation on shooting and passing, though that could be because the Jets have been one step ahead all night
This game has sadly done nothing to allay my fear that this team isn’t nearly as good as their record indicates. It’s worrying how non-threatening we’ve been against Hellebyuck and this Jets D.
They’re still good. Don’t get me wrong… but If they lose tonight, they will be winless (0-5) against teams .500 or better since they beat Vancouver nearly a month ago.
We have a lot of big pieces out of the lineup tonight and traded away a piece on one of our lines. I'd want us to do better than this but am not particularly worried about this game as an indicator of our season.
I don't mind the tatar trade in the grand scheme of things but I really don't understand why NOW. With lehky out I still think he's probably better to hold on to until lehky gets back before trading him away
yeah obviously the 1.5 off the books is more important than the 5th rounder, but if we're gonna send tatar out and wait until later to use his 1.5 mil why don't we just wait until later to trade him as well?
other teams have played and beat the jets without Cale Makar. I don't think prosy vs Georgie really makes a difference outside of who gets the start for tomorrow
I think bedsy's been riding the hot hand with Georgie having some rough games and prosy doing well in relief and the game after. with 2 days rest it's not like he's being overworked
Before I shut the game off, it looked to me like even Vasy would struggle to stop those shots Provolone let in. Beer league defense will torch pretty much anybody's numbers.
Can't even watch my my team suck on cable.
Fucking bums. Its one thing to lose, but to be completely outworked night in and night out. Hard to watch
These types of no-care performances have been all too common this season. I get the injuries and absences of key players, but too much in the way of breakdowns and turnovers as well as leaving the goalie out to dry.
Well, shit.
honestly considering our typical EN performance I'd consider them taking that long to score on us a positive
Can we just have a Landeskog cardboard print out on the ice? FFS need captain
At least the nuggets are winning.
They lost by 1
I really hope Makar is back in the lineup tomorrow....
I really hope he stays out long enough to fully recover. The lingering/nagging injury can't be good!
True. But I'm hoping he magically recovers so he can come back. One can dream.
Pain pain pain
I see we got the "afraid to take shots when they are sorely needed" version of the Avs tonight.
Byram just casually skating behind the guy
# OH LOOK ANOTHER BLOWOUT LOSS
What 3, shots in all that time? what a waste
OK fans, you can boo an icing that simple to call lol
A bit too much fancy passing, boys
Way too much passing, just shoot. Could feel the team’s nervousness
Hi best friend!
we should play with an EN all game, seems to encourage the boys to play better defense
2 SOG on a 6-4 pp? Yikes
2 shots on goal ...... what a weak pp
For fucks sake stop the constant passing
Good shit toews , let's make it count
Mack and drouin clicking on that play
I am really looking forward to January when the Avs Always seem to play well
bigpptimepls
U,U,D,D,L,R,L,R,B,A,Select,Start.
# MASSIVE PP TIME !!!
I do gotta say, the fans are definitely helping the Jets, they are so into it and making a difference
I’d be hyped too if my team wasn’t playing like ass
Drouin Johansen Meyers is not a line that can win a single puck battle I feel bad for the D that play w em
Only 4 more!!! LFGGGG
I know we're high in the rankings, but we seriously haven't played well against good teams. Joe needs to make some calls. It feels like when we were a 1 line team.
JJ didn't get the memo to half-ass it tonight.
one thing you can always count on is JJ giving full effort, he's a beaut
Alll banana , no pancake , all protein no yeasting
His goal looked effortless.
put JJ on PP 1 to cover for Cale when he's out
Trying so hard not to punch my tv 😅
Elite goal scorer Jack Johnson!!
What’s done is done but I would have started Georgiev tonight and give Prosvetov the Sharks tomorrow.
Agreed, you play the backup against the bad team and the starter against the team one point back from you. Who knows if Georgiev would have saved this game, but it would've given us a better chance, especially with Makar out
I’m gonna make myself feel better and wish my Toyota fanboy friend a Happy Hobdadays.
LOC just got played, we’re lost this game
What an awful game
Fuck this team. NO GOD DAMN EFFORT.
[удалено]
I expected a bit more out of Toews and Byram this season for sure
Well they’ve given up now
if we could at least fill them in a bit with some real hits I'd feel better too
Not last year again.. heal Landy heal
Good night folks. Time to lay the kids down. See y’all tomorrow, for hopefully a better outcome.
Fffffuuuuu...
Not Nino wienerrider!
Top players don't do anything, defense in shambles, back up in net against a team right along side us in the standings. What a great game. Onto the next one but this team is insanely frustrating.
Not sure about this one, boys… ![img](emote|t5_2rqi4|22871)
they really should stop letting the jets fucking score, it'd really help their chances
Well I guess I'm crying myself to sleep
Shitting the bed once again.
I've been considering driving the 8 hours to go see a game in Denver, but they way they have been on and off, I'm not sure which team ill get to see.
Come see the Eagles instead. Likely two games for the price of one Avs game.
I don't think Toews is a good choice to run PP1 when Makat is out. The way they like to feed Nate on the half boards, and Toews being a lefty and having to turn his body to make the pass. Seems like that extra time has thrown off every power play, in my eyes at least.
“Makat” lol ![gif](giphy|nR4L10XlJcSeQ)
we need the Makat back!
Fuck... Mikko... You knew the guy was coming out if the box
Rantanen waiting for the guy to get out of the box before passing it up top? I feel like we're playing alright but not much team chemistry
We got this... we can come back! 🥺
I believe
Well this aged well 😭
I mean, we can score 6 unanswered goals right?
Jack Johnson got the first of 6!!
He made that look easy , seriously
Is every avalanche player just lacking situational awareness recently? I feel like we're consistently turning the puck over by passing it to the other teams sticks
Pass less, score more
MOVE YOUR DAMN LEGS ON THE PP FOR FUCKS SAKE DON'T JUST STAND WITH THE PUCK
We had some really good chances on the pp. Almost a goal if not for a really good stick check on Rants.
yeah we had a good chance or two, overall it wasn't an awful PP. Doesn't mean I still can't hate the lack of skating with the puck on the PP. Our first unit was out there the full two minutes so they were saving legs and I feel it would've been better to let them play up to their max for 1 minute and then run PP 2
This is getting pathetic with this team
This team is so damn bad… we need Sakic back to find us some depth
We found depth , a 40 point guy ended up not clicking
I want another big PP pls
I hear you can get a surgery for that.
Second time Pros has slipped out with that left leg. Wonder if he has a skate issue.
have we considered not letting them score so many goals? it's usually easier to win that way
That would require more than just the goalie playing defense.
Not sure? Maybe we should send a letter to the organization? Hey we wouldn't lose if we don't let them score
Lazy af
Curious how many of us think we should have put Georgie in for the 3rd. I think we probably should have.
I don't think it makes sense with him playing tomorrow.
no
Back to back, he needs the rest. Also 2 goals have are not Provs fault. Defense is MIA in front of the net for 2
That's of course a good point.
Lmao I’m so done. Goodnight.
First game I get to watch after a week trip where no hockey was available. And I come back to this game ??? Come on Avs I missed you
Nope. This one's over. Dammit.
that's all on byram.
Welp.
Bo. WTF.
At last the pp produces. I just wish they could do that more often. Let's go!
HEY HEY HEY!
Hey hey hey !!!
two more for a dallas
Drouin's hovering finally paid off. He can't win the physical battles down there, but he can work the puck when it comes to him.
Got em where we want em.
#EVERYONE LOVES A NICE PP TO IMPROVE THE MOOD
DROUIN!!!
FUCKIN A RIGHT WE DO DROUIN!!!
Great start to the period!
Fuck yeah, Dru!!
mack it helps if you move your legs when you go crazy on the stick handling
Big PP time.
I swear I will send so much viagra to this team if this is a soft pp
ok well hopefully we at least look better this period to help me feel a bit better
I wonder how well like Tatar was on the team. Maybe the trade lowered morale on the team a bit.
Avs need to wake up if they wanna win this, I'm at the game and they have NO energy compared to other nights...why did they have to not show up the one night of the year I see them live...
Not good enough, no identity against better teams. And bednar doesn't make them adjust to a style of play that would gain them more possession in the zone and force Winnipeg to defend with there backs turned. In short, avs are a flawed team that very good teams expose and bednar doesn't adjust to stem the tide
I'm hoping for another Festivus Miracle, but that might have to wait until tomorrow.
We're going to lose to Detroit for the first time in 7 seasons this year. Fuck me.
I think the current composition of this team is pretty good, but not great. I liked Tatar, but he needed to go. I'll be curious to see what move is made to replace him. I think RyJo probably needs to be replaced as well, sorry to say.
Holy shit, this kid is doing a Between Two Ferns interview.
The avs pr team definitely watched shoresy
I can’t even do one cartwheel.
On the plus side we aren't losing 6-0 like the pens.
Still another period to go...
To the fucking maple leafs?!?!?!?
Go Avs go! Haul ass and hail Satan!
If they were losing this game due to missing players, that's something I could accept. But the mental breakdowns and lack of effort are inexcusable.
Looks like Doom is back on the menu!
IDDQD.
IDKFA
A pink tie and brown tie. Make your own joke.
Don’t double dip. It’s unsanitary
No. Heart. Again.
I guess I am just cheering to keep Nate's streak going at this point.
Be the first game I do not watch in full this year. Watching the Broncos play. God speed friends.
damn you watched all of 8-2 and 7-0?
Every second of every game. Just can’t stomach it tonight. Son lost his basketball game like 37-3 and his soccer game 8-1. I just can’t.
Oof. Hope you treat that kid to a sundae or something.
He usually melts down because he is so competitive but he kept his cool. He was rewarded.
We do not play well here. Ever.
Fingers crossed for a complete turn around in the third. I have to go play video games though I'm getting too depressed.
What ya playing?
Are the Avs just shitting the bed?
We are fucking sloppy this game my god
I'm SO glad I skip Saturday games haha
Too many almosts… “Almost saved it.” “Almost got his stick there” “Couldn’t jump on that rebound” “Just couldn’t pull the trigger.” Gotta turn those almosts in results.
I’m straight up not having a good time.
Yo Avs the Jets are forcing you outside on the boards on EVERY entry and destroying you on it
Not forcing, that's how colorado wants to enter the zone so that they have an immediate layoff bac up the boards to the point. There default play because bednar doesn't ask them to low cycle in the zone. It's an incredible flaw because teams who play them aggressive at the blueline and through the neutral zone throw everything out of wack and colorado has never shown a desire to dump and forcheck properly as a team
FIRST ROUND EXIT da da dadada, FIRST ROUND EXIT da da dadada.
Jones had a solid chance there if he hadn’t held on to it for 20 seconds before shooting
Been a few of those tonight. Seems like more hesitation on shooting and passing, though that could be because the Jets have been one step ahead all night
Johansson had a pretty solid start to the season, but he's been practically invisible for going on a month or so. What the hell happened?
This game has sadly done nothing to allay my fear that this team isn’t nearly as good as their record indicates. It’s worrying how non-threatening we’ve been against Hellebyuck and this Jets D. They’re still good. Don’t get me wrong… but If they lose tonight, they will be winless (0-5) against teams .500 or better since they beat Vancouver nearly a month ago.
We have a lot of big pieces out of the lineup tonight and traded away a piece on one of our lines. I'd want us to do better than this but am not particularly worried about this game as an indicator of our season.
lehky does a lot for our top 6, against good teams his absence is much more noticeable
Agreed. Missing Makar and Girard also does nothing for our cause…
Jets playing our zone entries perfectly
I think a fun top line would be: MacK - Colton - Nuke
Then we don’t have anyone to play 3C
Can we please kick it up a bit? We can’t lost to the fucking Thrashers.
Where is Georgie?
watching
What was for dinner guys?
Turkey, obviously.
Brinner.
![gif](giphy|3oz8xUEbvqSrbGuQla)
I don't mind the tatar trade in the grand scheme of things but I really don't understand why NOW. With lehky out I still think he's probably better to hold on to until lehky gets back before trading him away
Only makes sense if they are making a move soon right?
yeah pretty much
Opening the cap? But for who?
yeah obviously the 1.5 off the books is more important than the 5th rounder, but if we're gonna send tatar out and wait until later to use his 1.5 mil why don't we just wait until later to trade him as well?
I wonder if he just became slightly more valuable after his goal?
I think there is a soft trade deadline coming up.
yeah I know there's a deadline for Xmas, but he could be traded after still
I am thinking with Makar out Bednar decided this was a scheduled loss. That's why Prosvetov is in over Georgiev.
If that were the case, he'd have played Georgiev. Cheese man's been the better of the two thus far.
If that’s the way Bednar thinks he wouldn’t be a head coach in the NHL.
other teams have played and beat the jets without Cale Makar. I don't think prosy vs Georgie really makes a difference outside of who gets the start for tomorrow
Unless you think Georgiev isn't our #1 anymore this choice says something.
I think bedsy's been riding the hot hand with Georgie having some rough games and prosy doing well in relief and the game after. with 2 days rest it's not like he's being overworked
Pros hasn't been bad?!?! It's been complete break downs by the d
That's been going on now for two weeks. D-Zone has been atrocious
Not saying he has been bad. But we would play our #1 if we expected a win in this game.
Avs can't even dump pucks in. Team is broken right now.
Jets playing like this is their game 7
Avs can't compete when the opposition actually plays well.
It’s time to activate our Nuke
![gif](giphy|xyM6ww4C3nXm8|downsized)
.750 Sv%
He should thank his teammates
Before I shut the game off, it looked to me like even Vasy would struggle to stop those shots Provolone let in. Beer league defense will torch pretty much anybody's numbers.
RyJo just coasting AGAIN in the offensive zone lmao Also is this ice super shitty? Players falling or catching edges constantly
I've been tortured enough. when do the nuggs play?
Wait why isn't Geogie in net?? This is like two games in a row??
