I’m making over $13k a month working part time. I kept hearing other people tell me how much money they can make online so I decided to look into it. Well, it was all true and has totally changed my life. This is where I started

Ok it’s the coaches fault that Girard simply didn’t use his stick to stop the puck?! Watch the replay. All he had to do was put his stick in the only logical place. A pee wee player could figure that out. Girard is the one playing not the coach. Did you blame the coach every-time you screwed up?! Pathetic reply dude. Always excuses just like the Avs.

Lindgren was already ahead of Rantanen. Rantanen cut into the center and at the same time Steel passed and prevented Lindgren from following Rantanen for a split second. Lindgren had no reason to change his player in coverage at that time. The way the play went, Steel was rushing towards the goal and momentarily interfered with Lindgren. Look no further. In the defensive zone, there are a lot of permutations between forwards and defenders. There is no written law that says the defender takes the deepest player in the zone. But if it can simplify things for you, continue to apply this law stupidly.

Lol. Yup..clearly the results in REALITY where I live back up your conclusion. And not mine. I must’ve missed where Ole ice princess Marty had 11 pts in the last 3 games to propel the Avs to the 2nd rd.

Oh wait…..that didn’t happen. It was some other guy 🤔

I have never been a Girard hater. But always have felt as if his cap hit is way too high. 5 million for a defenseman that gets pushed around. And provides little to no offensive production.

Look at the cup run. He wasn’t missed at all. You already have plenty of puck movers with Cale, Toews, Malinski.

Girard is expendable. The only problem if they do it, is its about 4 years too late. They should’ve moved him after the cup win that summer to keep Kadri.

Ding-ding-ding-ding! Tocchet would bring some needed structure and toughness to this team. Dude coached the Canucks to within one win of the conference finals two seasons ago, and he did it with a much less talented team than this one.

For obvious reasons, the d-man always take the low man whenever possible, while the forward takes the high man. The No. 1 priority is to stop the puck-carrier, which neither veteran did despite their experience.

Girard and Malinski are garbage but their stats are not garbage. It’s one way of looking at things, but not mine. I understand that Bednar is a bad coach but why would he want to run to his doom deliberately by playing this garbage instead of Johnson? Bednar was also supposed to work for Dallas, I guess.

Before his arrival with the Avalanche, Necas already had a production of more than a point per game. At this rate, he was over 80 points without any problem without Mackinnon. And you have the deal, trade Necas or Nichushkin to sign Nelson, a guy who didn’t live up to expectations. You probably don’t understand that in any exchange there is an element of risk and that the team could find itself losing. The safest thing we’ve seen during these series is that there’s a fit between Mackinnon and Necas. In the playoffs, Drouin didn’t have the ability to play next to Mackinnon and we’ve all seen that. Keep talking nonsense, my friend.
