How Have The Golden Knights DOMINATED The Avalanche? | SDP

1. AVS IN 7

2. Three things contributing to success:
   -coach change
   -goalie
   And the big one that everyone is missing…
   -return of William Karlsson. He opens up the ice to give MM the space to shine. He has been out almost all season.

3. The Golden Knights always rise to the occasion.

4. Dude, the Hertl goal was brilliant!! Wedgwood fully expected that shot on his glove side but Hertl was able to thread the tiny gap on the stick side.

5. Colorado choked 😂😂😂😂. There were no injuries till after the tie. We punched em in the mouth and they ran😂

6. Toronto called it a no goal because of the glove, not high stick. But it was clearly off the stick. There was no mention of the high stick.

7. As an Avs fan this collapse is far bigger than Vegas excelling with their system. This type of hockey is what has kept the Avs historically struggling against teams like the Blues, Stars and Kraken. Even the Kings series this year was too close to comfort. Had the Kings made just one more goal each game the outcome would have been very different. With Vegas, that has the offensive talent to capitalize on this style of hockey, it was a given that this series would be tough. The core knows this far too well and that the response they have is not adapting but just trying harder. This is why they look scared, this is why the coach don't appear to do anything more than try again next game. There is not a more obvious answer for them than chance, which will win you close to zero games. I think it is time for a new voice in the locker room. Also, do something now before it is too late. The core is aging and every asset is traded. This was the year.

   And sure on the surface you can blame things on stuff like injuries. Playing a 7th D AHLer and giving him 7 minutes a game, basically playing 4D through whole series will take its toll long term (especially when your 4D is Burns). And going with an overperforming backup goalie expecting him to be the guy when your starter sits on the bench realizing he could not cement his spot as no 1, his confidence close to bottom should he be relevant at any time for a jump in. Or on things like Nichushkin being a shell of his offensive self since 22 for depth scoring. Or Nelson completely being a ghost through the whole playoffs despite having 30 goals this season. Normally you overcome those adveristies as a champion, through grit, adaptation and fight. But the problem is more systemic and cultural at this point.

   With that said I hope to eat every word above. And because hockey is hockey they will probably win next game with players out of the lineup. But maybe just that game.

8. Boy that Mitch Marner guy is pretty good. What happened in Toronto? I thought he was the problem? Now you can screw up McKenna.

9. It didn't hit the glove but I thought it was a high stick.

10. Dangle, "Hertl goal was kind of garbage" LOL. Such an insufferable little baby.

11. It's hard to believe this is the same Colorado team that looked so dominant in rounds 1 and 2. Yet suddenly they look worse than Utah or Anahiem did against Vegas??? Hockey is really a dumb sport sometimes.

12. You're saying Marner was a part of the problem again but he's better with every other group he plays with. He was GREAT as a leaf, that's why he's so good now.

13. Maybe Vegas is a better team because we overpaid Marner and Tavares, and the cap went flat for 10 years….

14. didn't all of you pick the Aves to win this round like Minnesota last round?

15. If the final is Vegas v Carolina, I’ll be cheering for Mitch Marner

16. No Makar, no cup

17. All 3 of you were swinging on colorados nuts .

18. Lol these guys NEED Vegas to lose so bad it's painful to watch. The most lucrative overtime job in the greater Toronto Metro area right now is a suicide hotline staffer.

19. Stone plays with one hand on the stick to extend his reach, he hardly ever has both hands on his stick. The ridiculous knob is to maintain control with that approach. It helps make up for his lack of mobility by extending his range. The 10’ long stick also helps.

20. Vegas vs jerks final, canes will win the Stanley cup 4-2

21. Guys it's the difference between being option 2 and option 6 for marner. No one is gameplanning for marner they are too busy planning for eichel and stone and doroferev and Theodore….

22. happy to see Hart having some success after everything hes gone thru

23. Marner win the cup lol

24. Makar missed two games, so did Stone. Val and MacKinnon missed time late in game three but it was headed towards being over. Don't be haters guys, look at how Vegas has played the last 20 games. Give credit where credit is due, stay true to your selves and the game and stop worrying that your subscribers are going to dump you. Vegas is peaking and on a roll, plain and simple.

25. Ok, now I am worried for Adam. KDS has affected your ability to see. Everyone without KDS knows that was good goal. If it had been called good live, it would have stayed after review. Haven't gotten to that point yet in this video but guessing that Adam is going to say, "white" color that is a thumb on his glove. Nope that's the white handle, its a small version of what Stone uses. Ohhhhhhhhh God exactly what I thought and a claim of a "high stick" too. So Dorefeyev's stick and hands 6 inches above his waist and horizontal is a high stick? Guys!!!!!!!!! legitimacy can be fleeting, stay true to the game and your selves.

26. The Marner, Karlsson and Howden line had instant chemistry. Dorofeyev on the first line and moving Stone to the 3rd line spreads out the offense and makes all of the lines dangerous to play against.

27. Domination is a strong word. 3 one goal games. AVS have outshot and out chanced Vegas in EVERY game. Difference has been goaltending….period. Wedgewood sub .900, Hart close to .930. Not a tough task to figure out.

28. The playoff format has taken its toll on the Central. Dallas beat up MN, MN beat up on Avs. VGK had a cake walk. NHL needs to go back to 1-8 Conference seedings. It's always fair, balanced.

29. The difference I see is The Golden Knights play together AS A TEAM; Colorado doesn't! The Avalanche simply don't have the Horses to keep up!

30. I'm suddenly cheering for Vegas because I want to see Toronto's heads explode when Marner lifts the cup.

31. Colorado has to play to score 10 goals. They cannot protect a lead against vegas. Play aggressive like you are down 1 even if you are up 3.

32. 7:43 you are forgetting that Pietrangelo's 8.8 million is in SE-LTIRetirement. Dude is never playing a professional game of hockey ever again. If they did manage a very challenging task of shipping out Hertl (I don't love the idea, his numbers aren't incredible but dude comes up huge in playoffs clutch moments and ALWAYS plays his role), that would be enough for Andersson and Dorofeyev. But I'd rather move off Andersson, unless they can get a steal of a contract (though that would be painful to move off if they do win the Cup and end up spending 2 firsts for a pure rental… But at least they won the Cup again)

33. I love the Marner story. I hope he wins the Conn Smythe. Toronto CONSTANTLY bashed this guy. They finally trade him and the fans are soooo glorious and ecstatic, laughing at Vegas on the side. Toronto then finishes so badly that they get the top pick and Vegas is 1 win from the Cup series. If Marner wins the CS, that would be such a beautiful ending.

34. The power of TORTS!!
