Zad Smash!
Quote:
I watch hockey to be entertained
Zadorov is one of the most entertaining Avalanche players I've seen
Bring him home.
|
Quote:
|
Just get out of this without an injury from Zads. A win would also be welcome.
|
Quote:
|
I just hope Zadorov does not touch Jost.
|
Quote:
|
He'll blow up someone like Hook, or Mack, or Naz, or
|
Quote:
|
Hopefully Zadorov will take it easy on us.
|
Quote:
|
Z is more likely to take out one of our blueliners so that he can be reacquired at the trade deadline.
|
Quote:
|
As much as I love big Z I really hope the Avs take it to him tonight. I'm glad that he found his game in Calgary, but we all know the Zadorov of old. He bound to do something dumb with the puck or take an untimely penalty that leads to an Avs lead.
|
Quote:
|
Kadri got pummeled, poor guy, but I didnt see a penalty
|
Quote:
|
Z roughs up NAK for stealing his number.
|
Quote:
|
Zadorov 2 minutes for being big
|
Quote:
|
Haha classic stupid Z penalty
|
Quote:
|
Z shuts down MacK on that rush. That was a soft call on him too. It's cool Z, we're not scoring here and you can get your revenge.
|
Quote:
Zads with an xGF% of 64! And he looked the part.
What did they do t0 this guy?
|
Clash of the Titans?
Quote:
|
Given the way we've been playing recently this will be an easy 6-1 Avs win.
|
Quote:
I'm just gonna say it now.
Besides the Avs, its pretty obvious this is the other best team in the West right now. We'll see what Vegas looks like if they get healthy in the playoffs, but right now they dont hold a candle to this Flames team.
That said, IMO I also still think we're a tier above this Flames team as well.

Anthem Speedrunning
Quote:
|
That dude really flew through the Canadian anthem, huh
|
Quote:
|
Some terrible antheming tonight.
|
Quote:
|
Yeah wtf. Both those were awful in their own ways lol.
|
Quote:
|
New record for "O Canada" Anthem Speed Run Any %
|
Quote:
|
Fastest Canadian anthem I’ve ever heard

Lindy Answers the Call
Quote:
|
DK Donkey threw the puck over the glass
|
Quote:
|
Kuemper put it over the glass
|
Quote:
|
All the time in the world too.
|
Quote:
|
Jesus that was some wild ass rebounds
|
Quote:
|
hello darkness my old friend
|
Quote:
|
Came out of the bathroom and we get scored on……gonna go back to the bathroom I guess
|
Quote:
|
As a goalie.. getting scored on your own penalty is gutting. Hope he can shake it off.
|
Quote:
|
Well that's a sequence for Darcy lol
|
Quote:
|
Wow, what a brutal error by Kuemper. That’s pretty hard to do.
|
Quote:
|
1-1 great assist Kuemper you f***ing idiot.
|
Quote:
|
That's how you run the bumper play?
|
Quote:
|
Flames setting up nicely in Avs zone
|
Quote:
|
That #### pisses me off to no end. Kuemper with a stupid ass mistake and then lets in the first shot on the PP.
|
Quote:
|
Oh my goodness we're just chasing the puck. We look awful lol. Haha MacK.
|
Quote:
|
Jesus man. That just made the Avs PP look like a beer league
|
Quote:
|
Top line just getting caved in defensively for 5+ games now
|
Lindy answers the call again!
Quote:
|
Is it gonna be one of THESE games?
|
Quote:
|
Looks like we have a hockey game between the Avalanche and the Elias Lindholms tonight.
|
Quote:
|
Play with some Pride tonight boys.
|
Quote:
|
Flames playing with a ton of confidence and the Avs just hand them a golden opportunity. Not a good combination. Joe has got to see the bottom six needs a makeover.
|
Quote:
|
Jost loses so many puck battles
|
Quote:
|
f*** GET OUT OF THE ZONE. f***
|
Quote:
|
This is puck control amateur hour
|
Quote:
|
f***in turn overs f***in turnovers sigh
|
Quote:
|
Bad pass by Toews to Girard started all that, non-coverage by Compher ended it.
|
Quote:
|
He has been regularly making that play as of late, just lobbing it generally up ice, usually directly to an opposing player
|
Quote:
|
Hahaha, why the f*** is JTC out there agains their 1st line?
|
Quote:
|
That puck goes out of the zone if Toews doesn't tip it to the Flames player
|
Quote:
I didn't see the first Flames goal but man that is not good from Kuemper. So, so deep in his net.
Both goals have been yikes from him
|
Quote:
|
Gonna let the flames own your crease? THAT pisses me off.
|
Quote:
Carelessness with the puck cost them that period.
They played well enough, but cant be making it so easy for the Flames to cause turnovers.
|
Quote:
|
Of course Big Z gets a point
|
Darryling it Up
Quote:
|
At some point you'd think they'd call something.
|
Quote:
|
Flames winning puck battles at will. Wake up call Avs...
|
Quote:
|
f***ING HELL. CALL A f***ING PENALTY.
|
Quote:
|
Flames are ####in physical gotdamn!
|
Quote:
|
Ref’s whistle is so far down his throat it’s giving him GERD
|
Quote:
|
Gubrandson forearm right to Naz's face, no call
|
Quote:
|
I’m at the game and holy #### does this feel like playoff hockey. Let’s get this win!
|
Quote:
|
Kadri getting absolutely mugged by Gudbranson wow.
|
Quote:
|
Yikes it will be a long night is they are going to let Calgary get away with everything. Not sure how you don't call something in Gudbranson for that crap on Kadri.
|
Quote:
|
Flames have been clutching all f***ing period
|
Quote:
|
They are absolutely obliterating us 5v5.
|
Quote:
|
It’s so insanely easy to hem this team in with a semi-competent forecheck.
|
Quote:
|
Sutter hockey is the type of hockey that exposes our weaknesses
|
Quote:
They are feeling the pressure of how quickly the Flames close on whomever has the puck. At times, Calgary even overloads that patch of ice with 2 players.
Avs aren't getting the time they are used to having to headman the puck.
Physically, the Flames forecheck is overwhelming the Avs D.
Bad, bad period from Girard. Flames 2nd goal the direct result of his poor play.
The difference in the Flames aggressive PK versus the Avalanche's passive kill is striking.
|
Shooooooooot!! The puck!!
Quote:
|
Makar needs to shoot from there!!!
|
Quote:
|
makar u GOTTA f***IN SHOOT THERE
|
Quote:
|
f***ing terrible. These guys really know how to get up for a big game.
|
Quote:
|
Good god the Avs PP is something atrocious
|
Quote:
|
That was a smell-o-rific PP
|
Quote:
|
Flames constantly moving on their PP, opening lanes and making the Avs work. The Avs just stand and help to clear the zone
|
Quote:
|
Makar needed to shoot that
|
Facts about Looch
Quote:
|
Lucic definitely wears socks in the hot tub
|
Quote:
THIS IS WHY WE HAVE MACDERMID....
nobody else would drop the gloves with lucic on this team.
He's not a good player but in case some idiot (molestar or carrier) start BS in the playoffs, he's there
|
Quote:
Every time I see Lucic's nose I'm reminded of that line in Borderlands 2
...you look like you headbutted a belt sander
|
Postandinbranson forces the goalie pull
Quote:
|
#### Gubronson too. That was some bull #### and I'm pretty sure he took a swing at Naz's head at the end of that scuffle.
|
Quote:
|
D zone sloppiness is getting so f'ing old. Starting to wonder if they'll ever fix it this season...
|
Quote:
Calgary's D are chewing up our bottom 6, our 3rd line forwards can't get ANYTHING started in the OZ. Not only that but they're getting hemmed in our zone a lot. Need a couple of physical bottom 6 forwards badly.
Newhook needs to be promoted to play with some top 6 scoring talent. He's earned the right to not have to be anchored to our bottom 6 garbage.
Kuemper was at fault for both of those goals, so weak.
|
Quote:
|
Well I guess the silver lining is that Kuemper couldn't possibly get any worse than he has been so far....
|
Quote:
|
This team just refuses to manage the puck, they just love those giveaways
|
Quote:
|
That’s the one more that Kuemper gives up too much… ugh
|
Quote:
|
I keep saying this, but the Avs are eventually going to play a focused game right? Because if they play like this in the playoffs, with how #### the coaching staff is at adjusting, we might get away with a game or two, but we are losing the series
|
Quote:
A team that plays solid defense first hockey destroying the Avs. How shocking. Just hope to stalemate the top line then wait to exploit the poor bottom 6 forwards and bottom 4 defense.
No one could predict this after the past three seasons.
|
Infighting
Quote:
|
Did Toews just accidentally rock Mack? Lol
|
Quote:
|
There are things about how Mac plays that you cannot teach, and I can’t say I’ve seen it in McDavid.
|
Quote:
|
one more time. landoskog not scoring on mikkopass. landoskog avoiding passing puck to mikko also. landoskog hiding pucks at walls trying to having time to go . landoskog soloing. etc. mikko not getting any points anymore. he stalling. i having deja vu at this this time of year. mikko 24? 25? mikko should each season easily putting up over 100 points. at PO there not good comradeship going on at 1st line...if there anything of it was before? towards end of seasons seeming it going more and more downhill i feel , beacause of my suspition of how it here works? coach doing not anything to having mikko going on. C at this line speedet up and when passing blue line he shooting. and then this landoskog. coach by this time already could be feeling something not right here=?
|
Quote:
|
Anyone who thinks we're winning a cup with that #### show of a bottom 6 is out to lunch. The only guys worth a #### down there are Newhook and LOC. The rest are beyond ####.
|
Quote:
|
Yo if the Avs wanna stop steam rolling each other that'd be greattttt
|
Gaudreauvertime
Quote:
|
I’m terrified that Sakic and Bednar actually think Jost and Compher are actually capable shutdown forwards
|
Quote:
|
If Girard keeps playing like this through the playoffs, Sakic really needs to re-evaluate his place on this team.
|
Quote:
|
Thats because on 3v3 you're not supposed to lose possession
|
Quote:
|
... or let anyone get behind you. That was a slow mo train wreck happening in real time, watching Mac.. watch. Johnny h. clearly jetted out and... awe, screw it again.
|
Quote:
|
Really? That f***ing #### again???? ..................
|
Quote:
|
“Johnny Hockey” as a nickname just pisses me off. Only one person gets the honor of having “hockey” in his nickname name and that is Mr Hockey - Gordie ####ing Howe. #### Gaudreau
|
Quote:
|
f***ing Rants seriously. Of all people why was he out there.
|
Quote:
|
Cherry picking little f***
|
Quote:
|
What the f*** is wrong with you, Bednar?!!!! Are you f***ing mental or something?!!
|
Quote:
|
Rantanen needs to wake the f*** up at some point. What did he think he was going to do there? He slowly stands there holding onto the puck, did he think the Flames where just going to leave him alone? Then when he has the puck taken away he stands there some more. Move your f***ing legs
|
Quote:
|
That's not the same Johnny Hockey we bullied and shutdown in the playoffs a few years ago. GG Flames

Aves and Flames both score on their 2nd shot of the game.
|
Quote:
|
Cgy lucky to be tied. Keumper let's in 3 on his first ten shots
|
Quote:
|
I noticed nobody here posted after the Calgary game. I guess people caught on to Calgarypuck spoofing the place lol.
|
Quote:
They might be more of an insecure fanbase than the Leafs or Habs. Quite the accomplishment.
They'll all crawl back into their hidey holes on Calgary Cowpuck when the Flames burn out in the playoffs again
|
Quote:
|
If any avs fans are at the game, I'll buy you reddit gold if you can tell the numbskull in the front row to stop banging the glass
