Avs will not recover from the trades and from this disappointing year
I am expecting much more disappointing results to come for Avs
Joe and CMac just cemented themselves as worst in NHL history
It was way too easy to say a lot of things and talk a lot of absurd nonsense after that crushing loss, even for myself. But with time, cooler heads prevail. The team is good and will have a chance next year. They've just got to get over Dal. I'm hoping for a rematch next playoffs. As many as it takes, until Col finally does it. This GM team has balls and does whatever they can to give the players the best chance possible. You don't make it if you aren't willing to take risks, and these guys are MAJOR risk takers. AWESOME! The players will somehow have to believe going into their next series with Dal. They'll meet again, and Col will have made a few more positive tweaks to its roster.
Rantanen is amazing, yet was still hugely underrated. Maybe not anymore. Gotta give immense respect to Dal, Deboer, and Rant. That team is a monster. Col will have an entire offseason to figure them out. They kinda of have to get to work on that immediately. Anyhow, there is always a cost to winning the Stanley Cup. It just makes what Crosby has done even more incredible, spectacular, unbelievable, unattainable, etc…
To next season
If Nate McKinnon doesn’t ask for trade in couple years I will be shocked
This Management is like the Titanic and players will only be wasting time on this team
You will not see Stanley Cup Finals under Joe and CMac
This team went from really good to average in seconds under Joe sakic
As soon as they didn't score on the 4 minute major in game seven, I felt they were going to be golfing early.
If the players do what they want and don’t really listen to a PP coach then .. 1 why are teams paying for this position 2 do you have uncoachable players in this org?
Colorado Avalanche will be in rebuild mode in no time
Hello?
Management…you royally screwed this team up
Won’t take long for fans to see Management as problem
And honestly they already should be asking for Joe and CMac to resign
This is only the beginning of the disaster
Like throwing a rock in pond
This is only the first wave of disaster
I am certain Joe Sakic can’t recover
Your time is running out ⏳ ⌛️
Your career is over
And who will hire CMac? No one
I dont understand why people are complaining about Sakic & Cmac…
We had a very good team, this team was built to win the cup this year. Leading a game 2-0 in the 3rd and chocking the last 10min… thats the issue.
It really sucks because if we past the Stars, we could of went all the way.
And all the questions about Rantanen… he is gone and we need to get over it. (Especially the reporters) Necas is younger and Drury is another good player. Lets see how we do next year.
With regards to Rantanen, it feels like we gave up a top 10 player in the league to become above average down the middle.
If the PK problems were so apparent, why didn't Bednar step in & redirect Pratt? Judges Priest!!!
Passive PKs DO NOT work. Watch FL's aggressive style & see for yourself. Panthers do it RIGHT.
3-22 PP tells the story of the series. Also, far too many bad penalties at critical times. NO CAN DO.
Hot take her but I hope they dont overreact. That was a tough loss but this was and is still a great roster. Of course changes need to be made but there arent too many teams who wouldnt happily change places with the Avs.
I loved and love Mikko and was shocked and crushed by the trade but we had to do it. Its hard to not fantasize about what might have happened if he was still on this roster but it was increasingly likely that he mightve walked in FA. It doesnt feel like it right now but the return was ok (of course I wouldve liked more but Necas and Drury are both solid additions).
Id love to see some changes to the d corps and to the forward corps but people acting like a) this wasnt a great roster or b) the guys we wont to move wont have value I think are upset in the moment, not thinking rationally. Guys like Manson, Girard, Colton, etc will have value. Its not like wed have to pay teams to dump the contracts.
All in all, it was a BRUTAL loss but Im still stoked to be a fan of this team and excited to see what the future brings. For me personally, its not THAT hard to imagine their path to winning the cup again
5points good enough?! One goal (EN) & 4 assists won't cut it for a star who's critical to the series outcome.
Ritchie for Nelson? NOT looking good from here.
So weird to defend Bennett at all. The seam pass and the bumper are designed systems that he would've endorsed. When you do that for 89 games it's pretty clear it's not the players forcing and Bennett not adapting anything new to better suit the team. Guy isn't a good pp coach, he just had elite talent making something from nothing.
Entertainment value +8 for the year. Betting odds had avs going one more rd. PP/ PK – 8. Coach B needs to go thats just life in nhl. Good coach just life in nhl. Team is solid.
Congrats for the worst trades in history – Other teams are laughing at us and for a good reason
YOU MESSED THIS UP! Trading Rantanen was a HUGE mistake. Dallas got him for just 12M because you guys rushed. Mikko has 88 postseason games with 113 points. He is 7th in all-time points per game in playoff and 4th on active players. WHO TRADES a player like that!?
LMAO. Colorado is a laughing stock. Who destroys the CORE we all envy (MacKinnon, Makar, Rantanen). He ended signing 12M with Dallas because the Avs looked at Mac's and Makar's outdated contracts and didn't understand how the market prices have gone up since then. Marner is getting 14M for the same reason, and you guys think 12M is too much for a better player. Are you guys drunk or what?
I'd make the Mikko trade again.
Ray Bennett was out of his depth, stop making excuses for him. Telling us the Avs powerplay was top 10 in the NHL is moot. That roster should be top 3. No excuses.
Cale was good, not great. Below expectation for sure. But 5pts in 7 games as a DMan and we're not happy? Think about that. Buddy has an impossible standard to keep
Dear god help us. These two are total Narcissists. Nowhere they are taking any responsibility of their own behaviour or shortcomings or mistakes. They start the conversation by throwing somebody else under the buss from the organization. They chose somebody below them to pick on so they dont have to take responsibility. Typical narcissistic behaviour. Colorado is doomed. If they want a team who is deep maybe they should not have sold the entire Stanley cup team in 2022. Chris Macfarland sould resign just for selling Kadri and Rodrgues and killing the deepnes.
Had to make the Mikko trade because we couldn't afford to keep everyone and be a team to compete for the Cup. With that said this team had enough talent to win the CUP and more talent than Stars but they played with more heart than we did. This team doesn't do the little things to win in the playoffs.
Sakic and CMC have made a lot of trades but not since the CUP has any of these trades really worked out. Maybe Goalies this year will work out but all the others nope. Nelson was absent in the playoffs, Marty was here and there. Cale wasn't much in the playoffs.
i think the Avs structure needs to change. The PK was terrible in the playoffs. Agree with you that the Pratt should be out. Couldn't stop the pass down low and dallas took advantage. Defense is to small. Got punished alot. Don't like the Bedsy system
If we keep this the same, we will lose in the first round again next year. The teams around us are getting better and we aren't
Eric – you know more about Hockey than me. But this team plays below their talent. They have done this for what the last 3 playoff years. They lose to less talented teams. The trades haven't worked and we have nothing to trade anymore or picks to make this better. We are in CAP jail. You talk about the Coaching and structure but it hasn't produced so to do the same thing year and year doesn't make sense. We have to change. Defense is small, gets taken advantage of in the playoffs. Couldn't hold a lead, played not to lose instead of to win. Yes, LOC dog. but the others don't play with that same FIRE and determination. MAC had points but his passes at times were terrible and causes some bad blue line turnovers.
I know. I have lots of thoughts and comments. Were I think Bedsy didn't help was his line make ups. His line combos weren't working and we had examples where Nelson, Marty and whoever were on the 2nd line and did well but he put Marty back with MAC and that didn't do anything. Not optimistic about this off season and what next season will do. Feel it will be like this year. out in round 1.
