The Avs were horrible in Game 4, worse than the stars in all facets. An extremely dissapointing game especially for the likes of MacKinnon and Rantanen.

I think Lauren Boebert had better stick control than the entire team tonight.
Reality is Avs should have been swept. Got lucky game 1.
Avs once again didn't show up, but tonight at least they have an excuse. Fans are being abhorrent with Val, do fucking better, be fucking better. Play off hockey is one of the only things keeping me alive this year, I don't want the Avs out in round 2, but wishing harm on Val for being an addict, ISN'T ok. EVER.
Thanks to DNVR for all you do, people have been awful to y'all tonight too, made an already shit night way worse, thanks for trying to be a bright spot for us Aj, Eric and Nate (And everyone else too, just you 3 are on cam tonight lol)
GO STARS. AND Y'ALL GO SEE GYM.
Avs getting murdered in the face-off circle
The Avs season will end not with a bang but a whimper…
I think it is over
Funny how the 2001 team overcame the SHOCKING news that Peter Forsberg was out for the playoffs- difference all the alpha males & leadership on that team.
Avs are beating themselves out there. Its not the "high powered" Dallas Stars or Deboer outcoaching. Its the avs playing terrible hockey.
Objectively the way Aves played and Stars played they’re lucky to not have been swept. They’re fortunate to still have a chance.
Down 6-0 after four 1st periods is almost always a death sentence through 4 games.
Down 3-0
Down 4-0
Down 1-0
Down 3-0
If you start first 4 games of a series like that you’re gonna get swept or down 3-1 period. I actually think they’ll play well game 5 bc they’re due, but Dallas deserves to win this series at this point clearly.
The highlight of the game was watching Duchene stick go flying.
Why did the Avs play better against the Jets but can't find the net in this series. I was at the game, and fans around me showed no compassion for Nichushkin in conversations. I will keep him in my prayers. Thank you, AJ, for your comment it was on point.
Man, rough day for the Avs on and off ice… sad. Disappointing… for this to be the way Val goes out… after the inspiring career be built in Colorado. God he was fun to see get good and then great. This hurts. And instead of trading mikko for a top goalie and using the remaining on a Drouin contract we hopefully can sign Drouin now. He’s the guy to step into Val’s role. God, what a team with them both tho… what a bummer he’s out. Hope he gets well and finds a way to keep focused and can be there for those who depend on him. Put in the work! Time flies!
Where are the snacks hell of a win! Should have swept that shit ass team..
Yall showed up to the all you can eat shrimp at red lobster and they wonder why they going out of buiness
33:06 Which people did you “get rid of”? Dislike.
i know dnvr is interactive but i like how much Eric just focuses on the game and not on people's comments
Girard and Georgiev have been playing great… poor guys playing great hockey and the rest of the team doesn’t even show up
Anyone that is addicted or is close to an addict knows that he needs to lose his team . The addict needs loss to recover . The other players deserve to compete in the cup they’ve dreamed about since age 5 without dealing with the horror and trauma of addiction. Once is hopeful but twice in a row is hopeless , it really is. It can’t go on any longer. He needs to do the right thing if he wants to recover , it’s life and death situation for him and he really needs to resign for himself , for the team, and for the franchise and fans. You don’t keep hoping with an addict this bad, you need to remove him from the situation – it is not working . For his health, you have to end this situation now .
34:54 isn’t nichushkin the one that needs to go to therapy? avs are completely falling apart, from management to players to fans lol
The fact that this Avs team is playing like this with the altitude advantage at any given game they play is monumentally embarrassing
The management needs to look in the mirror. They run this team with so much secrecy. Val SCREWED them last year, and yet they circled the wagon and were quiet about what happened in Seattle. Maybe there needs to be honesty and clarity.
Avalanche in 6, some said 5???
The woman on this show tried telling y’all!
Y’all really thought this one line team would work? They got absolutely dogged at home. Go Stars!
Go Stars!
The team hasn’t been the same without Landeskog on the bench/ice. Flat out.
I think Johnston taking Makars lunch money had a huge effect on Colorados psyche.
Man, this series really brought the dregs of society out in full force. Such a shame.
Watching this game I said in the second period that the Avs looked like they just didn't care, but I changed my mind. The Avs looked like a team that was distracted. Bednar said it himself, it's not an excuse to lose and that's true and I am certainly not saying it's OK, but it's understandable. I find it hard to believe they lose in 5, but it wouldn't surprise me given the deep hole they are in. Series isn't over of course, but boy, really steep hill to climb.
Really hope Nichuskin gets the help he needs and is able to lead a better life with or without hockey. Hockey doesn't matter at this point honestly.
EDIT: Also, all these Stars fans talk a lot of shit for cheering for a team that has won one Stanley Cup in the franchise's history 25 years ago.
The avz just really arent that good.. this series is over. Sorry gjys. Great listen tho.
Lmao the change in tone rolling into the Toyota ad. Golly they looked baaaad, I’m going with the Val news and illness analysis as the reason.
Val gave the Avs an excuse to lose two seasons in a row, and they keep taking it.
Not being able to talk about Val takes away from what happened in this game. Some times you just have to suck it up and have the difficult discussion…… AJ not even willing to talk about Bo Byrum tho lmao
Its time to retool, Nichushkin cant handle success, Gabe isn't coming back, and our goaltending is abysmal.
They have to quit wasting Makar and Mackinnons primes on shithead players that only show up half the time (Nichushkin, Georgiev)
3 series against 3 different Deboer teams. All losses. At what point is this not a coaching/systems issue? The players are frustrated becauee they aren't even being given a chance to succeed.
There has been a huge hole in this team for 2 years now. The Captain has been gone and its a Captain who leads by example. For anyone who has played sports, you know not having your leader playing in the game hurts and for some players its what they need, if the majority of players just needed a pep talk a coach you wouldnt need a player leader (Captain). But when you play a game that has that you start to need that to be motivated and inspired. Half of the BS that has gone on since winning the Cup is because the Captain is not on the ice. If Gabe cant come back its time to get a C in the locker room. It does not look like there is one right now so you might have to go looking for one. Also, they should have gotten Val off the team last summer after that crap that is so secret we still do not know what is going on. Its a Pro sports team, him leaving in the PLAYOFFS should have been publicly addressed. Again without a C on the team, it kills us.
Please put in Justus Annunen. The team will flip 180 and start playing better, I guarantee it. Watch.
They don’t want it
34:00 I bet you kept the superchat tho
