Biggest dives by the Canes scored a 9.7, 9.9, and a perfect 10 by Hall. Good to see LeTang bang him up as the play went on. 🐧🏒
Awful game 👎
I was surprised, last year I would have expected this.
Realistically, because they won in Colorado, AND NYI won, this was a game they could afford to lose… But gawdam, that defensive play was truly horrendous.
Also, Geno? We need him to be fire again.
Also the lack of Lizotte is probably what makes or breaks them. J1Q is it time to bring back Mcgroarty and slot him into the PK?
He's genuinely primed to be a two-way star, and I just have a feeling they could use him and Elmer as a tandem. One game more physical, another more skilled?
Just food for thought.
Salty Tears part 3
I'm sorry, but this time of year, it's unacceptable. Yes, we will lose a game on occasion. Everyone needs to get mad about laying eggs.
Bad day???? I don’t think there are too many bad days they can have and actually get before they lose out to get in the playoffs. The way the Blue Jackets and Islanders are hot on their heels.
the canes will do their usual flameout in the playoffs , yet they beat the pens in the regular season handily ! pens best chance to make the playoffs is to bring up musharov , pens cant afford to play skinner when the games are so critical !
Without Lizotte, they forget to play like Lizotte.
I was at the game and you are right, the Pens looked like they were just playing slap and skate.
Looking at potentially 12 more games this season… then an entire 2026-27 season… with Girard, Graves and the corpse of Letang on the blueline. Oof!
Same old slop. Are we still calling stupid turnovers “takeaways”? The Avs had a game like that against the Pens, but they aren’t fighting for a playoff spot. This performance was the inexplicable “D league pickup game” I’ve been harping for the last few seasons. A total breakdown like someone spiked the cooler.
The swirling commode comment lol
The Canes dont choke in the playoffs… they trip, take a dive, and fall.
Graves made an impact early and the team played like they just played 4 nights in a row.
Very tough to square that dud performance with the urgency necessary to secure a playoff birth. The Avalanche will be looking to avenge their recent loss to the Pens, better be ready to compete for 60 minutes, LGP!
One of those days, but the goaltending needs to improve.
Thanks. Getting to crunch time.
I think this may be the beginning of the end. Their poor defensive play and lost points in OT may have sealed their fate.
Four years of NO playoffs with Crosby, Malkin and Letang on the roster. What does that mean?
Thank you DK. They have played better. The giveaways were not good. Great show DK
I can usually tell how a game is going to go by how crisp the passes are through the neutral zone early on. This game was brutal.
