Genuine question which probably comes off salty cause I'm an Avs fan but how do you contest the puck like Naz did and avoid contact? I don't think he can change directions and make a play. Binnington's step that Kadri sees before he makes his momentum changing move is moving right and Kadri has the opportunity for a rebound so this seems like it would be a total non-issue if it wasn't Kadri.

Eric the Mauve posted:You're not allowed to run through the goalie. Every skater is responsible to not contact the goalie in the crease, it doesn't matter where the puck is at the time. Are we watching the same reply? Kadri had the momentum and direction to take a shot AND totally miss Binnington if the defender isn't there.

WeaponX posted:It’s actually Kadri’s job to score goals and there is a very clearly loose puck. Asked a few pages ago what you're supposed to do in a situation like this and nobody answered. But I like this one

DrunkPanda posted:Burakovsky is still trash. Make him a healthy scratch again. I don't know if Newhook is actually better, he didn't really do much when he was in, but maybe try him again? Or put in any random guy you have Newhook's performance in the game he played was markedly better than Burakovsky. Burakovsky looks pretty cooked. I'm mostly worried about JMFJ and Kuemper, but I think it is a mistake to play Burakovsky over Newy. Also gotta give Bo credit. He's had a very, very strong past few games. I feel a little better with our chances after watching him play fairly well this week. I'm worried about Rantanen not waking up, too. He's looked lost. His step is still there he just seems to be fractions of a second too slow in decision making and it's cost him a few goals.

Rantanen's problems aren't like glaring, he's had a few miscues but he's also missed at least 4 goal chances due to crazy good saves or just being off the mark with elevation. I absolutely would not cut him. He was pretty solid in the playoffs last year too, with a GWG in OT if I recall correctly. He's probably hurt and his step is a bit off, which is a perfectly valid excuse and I feel for him because when he's on he's really good. Either way Arturri has been playing really well and Valeri has been playing okay, like you said I probably call up Newhook because he isn't turning it over like Burakovsky has been.

3-0 lead and I'm looking at cup tickets at MSG because why not. I'm not sure why I expected less but yikes, these are steep as poo poo. Not sure how much I'd be willing to spend to go into enemy territory but maybe if I just go with the Nordiques gear Rangers fans won't even know?

Watching the Avs scoring chances before the goal again and holy gently caress how did they not score lmao, this was just an unrelenting attack. Bowen is the real deal too.

TheBizzness posted:The Blues and Lightning should play now for some sort of second place trophy (I miss hockey already and I think it would be a good matchup) Me too. Desperate miss it already. This was probably the season where I watched the least regular season hockey. I picked up watching in 2009 with my college roommate and friend but mentally, after the Avs collapses in the playoffs post-rebuild (and being a fan of another team who collapses a lot in another spot) so many years in a row I needed a bit of a break from the constant stress and just didn't watch as much in general. Still followed and caught highlights but.... didn't force myself to stay awake on the east coast for every game. It let me enter the playoffs with a pretty zen feeling, which of course waned very quickly, but I feel like now that the Avs won a cup I'll be able to enjoy the regular season again next year without stressing. Idk I'm broke brained and care too much about sports.

I hope I can make it to a game in Colorado. Had a trip fully planned right before Covid hit, and the past few seasons things haven't worked out with timing. It's fun to see games at MSG, less fun at the Rock due to transportation for me but still a blast because hockey is inherently my favorite sport to watch live.... but I'd love to be able to see a new arena this coming year.

Probably can't even watch the parade cause I'm super swamped with meetings on what should be a no meetings day but since Friday is a holiday for my department everyone felt the need to schedule meetings and I'm pretty sad. gently caress our hiring plan, I wanna watch my boys celebrate. EJ posted a video of a cup party that I'm guessing is Gabe's and the amount of McDonald's is definitely sending Nate crazy somewhere.

I'm feeling pretty generous today, it's Friday, I'm off, got some added comp from work in the form of RSUs. First Avs fan to PM me their address and size will get a TOO MANY MEN shirt shipped to them compliments of me.
