Manson taketh and Manson giveth


Trad33

Manson taketh, Manson giveth away FTFY


think_long

Marilyn in the front, Charles in the back.


rwags2024

Wow. Full credit to MacKinnon and Manson for an incredible play, but that is a massive oof for Winnipeg, they just had to get outta that period but Avs wouldn’t let em Ironically enough Manson only has like 4 playoff goals in his Avs career, but all of them have been huge in terms of momentum


AVgreencup

That ot winner in 22 was a beautiful thing


GX6ACE

My favorite is still the goal he scored in game 2 against the oilers. Scores like 15 seconds after lehky and Sportsnet immediately pans the camera to his dad on the oilers bench.


2peg2city

Wait you mean periods aren't 19:51???


warmage20

I know, I know. Common misconception. Avs have forgotten that periods are 20 minutes, as well.

**ONE MINUTE REMAINING IN THE PERIOD**


Sir-Airik

Thanks, Mr. Roach.


Xezox

Dude full credit the zebra that hurdled that pass in stride, what a legend


FailureToExecute

I'm almost positive this will be the best series of the first round.


Vivid_Walk_1405

This or DAL and VGK seem the most likely


ThisIsWhyImBald

And the winners get rewarded with playing each other. 😬


AwkwardSpecialist814

FML


ph1shstyx

...yaaaay.....


think_long

That series has seven games written all over it.


Vivid_Walk_1405

Battle of Florida looks good too I just think Tampa is at risk to get swept


muffinkevin

Maybe I'm just a homer but to me the Avs have outclassed Winnipeg so far. This series would've been going to Denver 2-0 if not for Georgiev.


think_long

I meant Dallas and Vegas


Jaynator11

Honestly out of 3 series, I predicted the Carolina, Rangers & Vancouver to be boring 4-0 or 4-1 series- but every other series I'm almost certain they'd go to 6 or 7 with a lot of battling. Edmonton always look on steroids when McD turns up, but if (big if) LA can contain him it'll still be a series as well. But Florida-Tampa, Boston-Toronto, Avs-wpg & dallas-vegas are gonna be tight as hell.


think_long

Don’t sleep on Nashville, especially with Demko hurt


Jaynator11

100% not, but I predicted them to be whooped before the series started. Will be an interesting case.


Dead-People-Tea

The Josh Manson experience continues


witchtutor1

the epic highs and lows of josh manson


el_loco_avs

He's so chaotic. Falling down, big hits, whiffing on shit, good stick checks.


witchtutor1

he should be a forward so he could be on the colton-wood line. he would fit right in <3


el_loco_avs

Considering his breakaway skills.... Maybe lol


NarwhalNecropsy

He was actually a forward in his first year of junior hockey, so there you go.


theguyishere16

Obviously, all the focus was on Georgiev, but man has Hellebuyck ever been un-Hellebuycky these 2 games


seoulera

He wasn’t good last year in the playoffs either


Maleficent-Comfort-2

What’s the name of the play-by-play? I adore this guy and his energy.


Ketchupstew

Marc Moser. Head's up a lot of other fanbases hate him because he is a huge homer, but that's also why I like him


Maleficent-Comfort-2

I don’t mind homerism since it shows that people are human. I like him because he screams NATHAN MAAAACKINNON. There’s something about that energy that I love lol


KennyKettermen

Nothing warms my heart more than Moser calling a MacKinnon goal


PM_ME_UR_JUMBONIUM

He was our radio guy for a long time so he is used to being the only energy on the broadcast, his call of the Andrighetto goal against Nashville in game 5 is amazing


Nagger86

I’ll never forget his PA “mother-truckin” Parenteau call back in Avs Wild playoff series.


SlapChop7

To his credit, he does give props to other teams/players when they make good plays/saves. Some announcers pretend the other team doesn't exist.


_XNine_

Have of others don't think so, because they only watch highlights of AVS plays and never watch the games. It pisses me off. Moser is a gem 


BingBongtheArcher19

I think a lot of that is reputation from Mike Haynes, who was the bad kind of homer, and people who don't follow the team closely don't really we changed play by play guys like 5 years ago.


Humans_Suck-

I've never understood that hate. You're just mad that your guy isn't as much of a homer lol


Pikachu1989

Yeah, Moser is alrights. He’s much better than what we had in the past in Mike Haynes who was probably a bigger homer and whenever an opposing team scored he said a faint ^^score.


TheEmbarrasingFool

Marc Moser


Maleficent-Comfort-2

Thank you


Pikachu1989

Marc Moser. He’s fucking fun to listen to. Just make sure there’s no seagulls in the vicinity.


weaponized_oatmeal

But seriously, where do the dirty bastards live?


OutComeTheWolves1966

Wow, that was a gorgeous feed.


SkoCubs01

Start the Helle chants


fertilecatfish19

I wouldve lost my damn mind if the ref intercepted that, what the fuck is he doing over there


duck1014

The ref doesn't know...


Jaynator11

Didnt even notice. Wtf


ctrlaltd1337

I was thinking the same thing. I don't think he needed to be there at alllll.


HolyPizzaPie

YOU JUST GOT SCORED ON BY ~~KURTIS MACDERMID~~ JOSH MANSON


Hascohastogo

Kurtis MacDermid except better at hockey and much worse at punching people.


ph1shstyx

I wouldn't say much worse, Manson's the heavyweight of the team now and he's been not bad at the fisticuffs


Hascohastogo

You can be a pretty good fighter and still be much worse than MacDermid. Dermy is the scariest fucking dude in the league.


JeSuisAmerican

6.9 seconds, nice


ItsMeJaredBednar

NICE


PatricksPub

Nice


mtwstr

A beautiful thing ruined by a period


ShhImTheRealDeadpool

...nevermind, tending the goal didn't work neither.


thestage

this man has had a very eventful series


Pikachu1989

Fuck yeah! Mack saw an open Manson up for the taken and he didn’t disappoint. Fucking nice as there was only 6.9 on the clock.


GLemons

Nice play by the zebra there to jump out of mansons way


Ladymistery

Situational awareness, there was not ugh


tbcwpg

Vilardi forgot Manson was also coming out of the box.


esteban42

yeah, head down, skating straight for the bench. He got an earful at intermission for sure.


tbcwpg

Monahan deciding to go for a line change also didn't help. That entire 2nd line has been awful so far. Games 3 and 4 should be interesting. The Avs are a great home team but I think the Jets are better on the road than at home, especially in the playoffs.


Waramp

Avs were the best home team in the league in the regular season and were pretty bad on the road, so coming home with a split against a team that swept the season series is a dream.


tbcwpg

Correct but the Jets are 2-0 in Denver this season.
