One thing I'd say about the way the Avs are built....

Their top 3 minute D:

Toews 191 lbs

Makar 187

Girard 170

 

Vegas is obviously going to come at those guys,.

Forward group really needs to assist/puck support that group vs the Vegas puckhounding and forecheck

(Neither Byram nor Timmins are particularly big guys either.)

 

 

Yup.  Forwards need to slow down the forecheck, and get below their hash marks for quick outs.

There’s game ‘management’ and series ‘management’.  We are seeing both.

Wow Vegas owning it

[wallstreetamigo]

Honestly dislike when the refs decide games

[SergioMomesso]

Avs are missing a certain type of player in a game like this. He might not last the entire game.

Now that was a powerplay. Vegas is gonna take this one.

I hate that &^@#er so much 

 

I hope someone knocks his teeth out 

[WHL rocks]

VGK could be up 2 - 1 right now. They've been the better team after the 1st game..

 

This series is going 7 games.

Key to winning a cup.

 

-Dont play an original 6 team

-Don’t play a recent expansion team

I'm going to buy tickets to Vegas for a Western Conference Finals when we play them in 2023.  That arena looks pretty fun, not gonna lie.

That is true. It’s working out well for the Canadiens (Perry, Toffoli, Staal, Edmundson, Frolik).

Price has Olympic experience too.

I really thought that Canucks played Vegas perfectly last year.  Stayed away from any scrums and kept it between whistles.  

 

Vegas is just a much much better team then us but I expect that to shift in two years as both teams get older.  

I agree.  And the Canucks were limping into that series - particularly down the middle.

Miller was injured - playing harm reduction hockey.

Boeser could barely take a wrister.

Toffoli could barely skate - he was a liability (no fault of his own) - the Horvat line wasn't really able to produce.

Sutter was also on the wing - playing injured - leaving a highly exposed Gaudette - that the team wasn't particularly able to 'hide' given the state of Miller and Sutter.

Nevetheless - an extremely gutsy counterpunch effort - excellent gameplanning imo.  I find it ironic when people suggest Green got outcoached or is unable to make adjustments - the adjustments were borderline patently obvious - and almost patchworked them through that round - really, they were practically one Boeser transition snipe from advancing.

Wow, Vegas with ALL the momentum.  Avs are in trouble.

[-Vintage Canuck-]

I just can’t see the Avalanche coming back in this game.
