But the avs certainty aren't top heavy. They seem balanced enough

Wonder if roope already had an issue that caused his lackluster play this postseason that was aggravated by the cross check.

Makar/MacKinnon/Ratanen a combined -9 tonight. 
 

Man shooting a 63 in a 3 man scramble is on point. Props.

[C-Man 27221]

Goddamn that was a fun watch on our plane ride home from SLC! Let’s close this shit out Wednesday and get some rest.

He’s also been blocking shots with his body like crazy taking pucks all over pretty tough. 
 

Let’s get this series over early in 5 and fucking rest the old guys so they can show the fuck up

[ztejas 43419]

We get to go for the very rare backdoor sweep Wednesday.

Miro kind of had a good game tonight:

I'm happy about the win, but also mad the fucks blew the 3 goal lead in game 1. Should have and could have swept the Avs.

I would be stunned if Val returned to Colorado under any circumstance moving forward based on this:

Last part first 

When asked if those two entities he spoke of — Nichushkin and his team — can ever come together again, Bednar was also efficient with his words.

“I have no idea,” he said.

I'd be stunned if he returned to anywhere in the NHL.  He's just a garbage human being who has burned bridges everywhere he has been.

OTOH he can score goals, and there are always stupid, desperate GMs in the NHL.

that was the original knock on him. there was question before the draft about his attitude and whether he really wanted to play in north america. when he first went back and played in the khl I honestly thought he'd stay there. if he gets clean I'm certain there is a gm who will pick him up if he decides to come back

[Longhorn_Fan68 33869]

Tanev cleared. Roope going in for testing. I hope BeBoer puts Benn out for a shift against MacKinnon and he just runs over and through him.

[Longhorn_Fan68 33869]

lol

[Skipper 6135]

Great game last night.  We sense they were wounded early and just attacked.  Then strong close out 3rd period to put it to bed without any issues.    Guess nothing about Roope yet.  Hopefully he isn't out long term.  He's clearly been battling something (or multiple things) for a while so hopefully just aggravation that gets better with some rest (particularly if we can close it out tomorrow without him) and not something new.

[Longhorn_Fan68 33869]

dammit. hope this is just to give Roope some time to heal and it's nothing serious.

 

[Skipper 6135]

Yeah, they would call it "day-to-day" whether he could go tomorrow or shelved until November right?  I know hockey always vague with injuries in the playoffs but pretty sure not the same level of disclosure obligations compared to the NFL.    I thought Hakanpaa would have been back 2 weeks ago based on what was said before the playoffs.

[wood 11225]

Close this fucker out tonight and get Roope all the rest  & therapy he needs.

[Beau Vine 54217]

I love Roope, but the way he's playing, Faksa is an upgrade.

[Longhorn_Fan68 33869]

 

 

[Beau Vine 54217]

Petrovic is better than Lundquist.  He has zero potential, but he's less likely to piss all over himself out on the ice.

Fuck the Avs.  Especially Mackinnon, Walker and Colton.  Wish we could run out Derian Hatcher for some board to board counseling.

Backhand tic-tac-toe is a beautiful thing! 

Plant the Avs, Stars!

[Firemans4Horn 18048]

Awesome forecheck

[cafe society 2871]

Whew that was close

 

[BachelorTrek 2968]

What happened to Chris Tanev, lose a contact lens? He came back quick.

[cafe society 2871]

Oettinger is killing it.

Just a matter of time

[dcar00 14182]

should have put more pucks on net on that PP.

[cafe society 2871]

What a pussy call!

[Firemans4Horn 18048]

Suter needs to chill with the dumb penalties. It’s one thing to get a penalty because you’re old and lost a step but that was just a cheapo. 

[Longhorn_Fan68 33869]

That wasn't a penalty. He moved the stock out of the way and he the avs player let it go and made it look like he was holding it. Bullshit call

Suter does need to step up his play that he had his hand on the stick for a millisecond.  Bullshit call.

Mother fucker.

agreed and now cost us a goal.  

[dcar00 14182]

have no idea why 3 didn't race after the Avs player when the puck went to the board.  we got caught clock watching...

[Constant 6731]

Seemed a bit inevitable. Need to take more puck control in the 2nd. 

[Zeus 6022]

Insane they don’t call that

 absolutely just pulled him down from behind right in front of the ref 

[shadow_operative2.0 15972]

And now we convert.
