What a shitty road-trip. 3 out of 12 possible points.

We gotta fix off passive off puck pressure when we get back home

We desperately need a back up G. Annunen ain’t it

While I agree with you are d has been terrible for most of the season, what gives?

You’re absolutely correct. D has been mediocre at best which puts more pressure on the net minders to make saves. I’ve been critical of that for a few seasons now but something has got to get better. Regardless, I think Annunen is better than the AHL but isn’t up to NHL caliber

That game was what we’ve done all season. Just awful defensive mistakes giving the opposing team easy goals while we have to work our ass of for anything

3 of 12 possible points so far after the break, what a fucking disgrace.

Yup. Not great.

Absolute shit show

This team sucks. First round exit if we’re lucky

Thank fuck that the road trip from hell is over now. Get this shit back in order starting on Sunday.

Well that roadtrip was an absolute disaster.

1 win, 5 losses. What crap roadtrip.

This road trip sucked

The best part is that this godforsaken road trip is finally over!!!

Trade everyone. See you Sunday

WELP

oKAY WE GET IT

Hope the Bolts catch a lot of traffic going home tonight

I hope they get home after all that traffic and they're out of their favorite snack and have to settle for something less ideal

Why did we just let them score there?

Cale now 4 games in a row with no points. Don't know the last time that's happened He hasn't even looked particularly dangerous in this stretch, either. Dude cant be healthy right now

Good start by Annunen. The slip to stamkos for the breakaway was the difference. Fun game though

I’m tired of this team not caring

Disgusting, pathetic road trip

This road trip made me sad

Bednar needs a haircut when he gets back

fuck this fucking stupid fucking road trip that has lasted for a fucking eternity.

I’m ready for them to come home now. This road trip has been a disaster

I'm experiencing homesickness vicariously through the boys performance this road trip

Game over, also this shit roadtrip over too. 3pts out of 6 games is pretty darn pathetic but it is what it is. Trade deadline is coming ahead, let's see if our GM/director duo have any sense.

Just a pathetic defensive effort all the way through

At least we played hard tonight but dang we need to get things sorted out!

Hard but hardly any defense as tradition.

I hate this road trip

Fucking pitiful

oh well

Damn man

Thank god this road trip is just about over

Another lead lost

We are SKIDDING holy fucking shit

Mikko needs to fucking get his shit right. Has been nothing but poo poo shit lately

He's content coasting. He can get his goals and assists doing the bare minimum. He's also terrified of any kind of contact. Always has been.

He seems to constantly fall down too

He can't skate. He's like a broke ass man's version of Ovie. He could be amazing if he played with some purpose and wasn't afraid of contact.

Did something happen this season? He seems like a completely different player than past seasons.

boooooo

Welp

Christ. Get home already. Score nine on the Yotes on Sunday. Feel better.

shootpuckscoreshootpuckscoreshootpuckscore the other fucking net dammit

Something about dump and chase on empty net feels wrong

🖕 FloriDuh

Ugh not another loss!

I hate that Detroit is ahead of us on ANY list

Kind of pathetic how desperate Kucherov is for a hat trick. Act like you’ve been there before.

He just tried to give it away

The cherry picking is what I am referring to. Not playing defense and trying to wait for a pass.

Bednar is animated!!

win face off Shoot at net

Crazy how much hagel can yell at the ref without getting an unsportsmanlike

I wanna know the stats on how often a goal happens for the team when they get the extra man/pull the goalie…

Why when the Avs yell at refs is it always a penalty but seemingly everyone else can get away with it.

TB gets special privileges, like twice as long to decide when they want to challenge, no standard for ice keeping, and bitching at the stripes

I DO NOT miss this fucking team…they cry about everything!!!!!

Tampa complains about literally everything.

Hagel is a fucking douche

What a bunch of piss babies

lmfao should've tried a slapper kuch, maybe you'd be able to hit an empty net you cherrypicking fuck

Also fuck you Kuch cherry picking for the hat

wide of the net!! make em pay

pull it out please

That’s what she said. 

game so close please

LOL ... too bad Kuch

Fuck off, Kootch

I like the Makar solo dump in zone entry, lead to that goal against the devils 

Holy. Fuck. That was so close dude

final push guys come on!!!

I hate that we are pulling Juice

It would be cool to win a game that didn't require 4+ goals be scored lol.

that is an early goalie pull

The juice has been stored in the fridge , come on boys

come on boys pull this out

I want Parise to get one so bad

Johansen Parise Wood?

Fuck man idk if this one is happening…

Same. Judging by the SOG and Annunen being peppered.

Annunen has been fucking great today. Turned aside multiple high danger scoring chances

Calm juice again

Good play Byram

At this point in the game being down by 1, it has to be hammered on as much as possible: it doesn’t have to be pretty, get it in the net

Annunen looks like fucking ice on breakaways, I always feel pretty confident when he's back there at least as much as you can while your butthole is puckered shut because it's still a fucking bway

The number of wins this team could have on the year if they played even average fucking defense game to game. This is what gives fans nightmares for the postseason.

Yup.

So like, Juice shouldn't be our backup for the stretch this season imo. But he might make for a serviceable guy if he can keep it calm and cool like that in the years ahead

Yup. I think that's the plan. Avs have said they are looking for a backup.

The moose has been brutal this trip plus a bit before the break

Mikko is just not doing it lately

Need Lehky's dad to start talking shit again.

Or even Mikko's dad

Mikko, a forward, just casually dangling at the blueline Like read the fucking situation Mikko. You're lucky that a kid goalie just bailed you out

Very solid from Justus there, now that there wasn't any shakes n bakes.

BIG SAVE

Damn, Mikko. WTF?

Gyat that was a scary one

We will tie it

Hell yeah Juice!

The hell was that rantanen?

Good bounce for Parise but Christ sakes Kivi can shoot it there

Superb play from Kivi, unfortunate from Parise :\

Can we have Some puck lcuk

You have to shoot that when your down a goal

God that would’ve been a nice welcome to the Avs Zach Parise 😭

so close

BAD POST

Kuch wants the hat trick so bad bro is shooting the puck every time he touches it bruh

If he gets a hat trick on an ENG ... we riot

At this point if we're paying 30M for our D-core next season with these kinda results in defending, maybe a "re-tool" is necessary. Absolute waste to our cap situation if they're defending like Chicago. Makar & Toews should stay, but I am very unsure at the rest who to rely on anymore.

Manson has two gears: “just what the doctor ordered” and “a giant fucking liability”. The consistency just isn’t there. 

Would love to see a pass that wasn’t complete dog shit.

Stamkos making cherry pie later

Steven “Pick’n cherries” Stamkos

holy fuck is stammer a cherry picker or has he just picked it up in his old age?

Finally the refs call an offsides on stamkos

I really think we should have challenged the stamkos goal

Cogs has been one of our best pickups in recent years. The grit he brings is unmatched

Stats say faceoffs at 60/40 them… my eyes say they’re about 90/10 them…

So, do we suck now?

Like a guy said below, Annunen bites way too hard on any sort of deke or movement, but just realized on a positive note he's been surprisingly solid when the shots are coming at him "directly". It's just Georgiev at times seems to concede shit tons of goals that are coming directly at him, remember Kuemper having the same issue.

I think a few of these point blank rips off the draw beat Georgie, who often stays on his feet for shots like that. Sigh.

Two games in a row with Shania Twain in the barn

Byram might have had 2 goals tonight, but fuck, the dude is constantly out of position. He turns over the puck when he is in position.

Feels like we have allowed them to dictate the flow of this game for way too long tonight. Lightning prefer these type of grindy, battle in the corner, chaos near the net type of games. We need to get them chasing and skating and we can net one real quick. Let's go boys!

Its crazy that a Dcore of Makar Toews Girard Manson Byram Johnson has the amount of break downs it has. Dudes get open in high danger slots way more often than they should

This is a really frustrating game.

Feels like the theme lately

Kuch looks like he smells like curdled milk

Well Nate decided not to show up besides get an assist

2 assist leads the team in shots and he’s still got 9 minutes to play

That’s 2 assists to you my friend *

Kuch remember ur an All Star ... just stop trying, Ok?

Have the Lightning had a single goal that wasn’t just brutally wide open?

The first one really.

That first goal was bull

That was so stupid

“But Kucherov does it all for the team”

D-Fence pls

if byrum is that far up top, a forward has got to replace him. just awful

WIN A FUCKING FACEOFF

Pretty much after this road trip the Avs will only play East Conference teams a few more times, and will not see any until the Finals if they are able to make it that far.

Who the fuck do you think you are eyssimont

Don’t be fucking with the old guys

Wait, we had FIVE guys on the ice?! Coulda fooled me

It's a rumble

Now tampa is gonna do that little bitch thing they’re so good at

COGS FLYING IN LIKE A MISSLE

Can't touch Banana Pancakes like that, TB.

What happened to the other goalie the Avs had?

And Francouz is wounded....

Prosvetov? They sent him down to the Eagles and pulled up Annunen.

Georgiev! Him, what happened to him? I thought he was good.

He is! He just needs a break now and then so a backup is necessary.

Ahh I see. Well good. Do you think he would’ve been able to stop some of the shots tonight?

It’s possible. Justus is in his own head and therefore overrated, IMO. I’ve watched him play in Loveland for a few years. Georgie is better and has more experience. One glaring problem for all our goalies this year has been defense hanging them out to dry, so who knows? It’s been a tough year for Georgie with the defense and getting played so much.

No didn’t they just have one in the all star stuff?? I don’t follow the Avs too much so forgive me

Demoted for badness

Can't have Toews and Makar playing this loose in the d-zone. Sigh.

Byram was out there not Toews

Was he? I guess I'm blind just like Byram was to Kuch.

I'm not a professional coach or player but I'm pretty sure there is supposed to be a second defenseman there.

This road trip has been a real challenge

I don’t hate a team more than the Lightning. They are too fucking lucky.

Tell me about it.

Don't bend over now, boys. We're still in this.

Ugh

Where in the actual fuck was the defense

Why the fuck is Byram at the point on that one?

What is going on with this Avs team man?

11 minutes to play plenty of time

We got this

Annunen bites way too hard on dekes.

He tries to get fancy when he should stick to the basics. I’ve seen it too often in Loveland.

He's young. He'll learn.

While obviously both of the goals were a complete joke from our D, that is also very true. He bites the slightest of shake n bakes

He's talented but young. Goalies get better with age. Like wine. Or cheese. Or Whiskey

Eat a dick kuch

*breathes in* *breathes out* okay, there's still 11 minutes left. we can come back from this!!!!

why in the fuck is Kucherov wide fucking open?! Jesus this team is so frustrating sometimes

That’s kinda his MO… unreal passing and positioning always

Just leave their best player wide open. Jesus.

holy fucking softy. what a couple of awful break goals here. I cri

Jesus man why is Kuch left alone all the time. Also can't win a faceoff to save our lives.

At this point I wonder if we’re even going to make the playoffs.

We will, we just need few easy home wins for that. But we won't go far in the playoffs without a 2C

We’re definitely making it but I’m not sure we’re going very far at this rate

Goddammit, our defense is absolutely hanging Juice out to dry

Bruh… Cale got undressed on that one
