Burns on any PP unit is such a colossal mistake
Burns on any PP unit is such a colossal mistake
He’s not going to hit ingram until Nurse nudges him… unless people think MacKinnon can move laterally while in the air
What a fucking joke of a call
The oilers have had the puck uncontested infront of Blackwood about 6-8 times… saying the defense has been bad is underselling it
Toews has been an unmitigated disaster most of this season, but the entire blue line is getting carved right now, Makar and Burns especially
Thought they generated a lot of looks, other than the short handed goal I thought it looked better than it has before the break
Nathan MacKinnon wins it, absolute monster today
Avs need their depth to step up in a big way, they’re being hard carried by MacKinnon since the break
Toews and Burns have been unmitigated disasters tonight, Burns shouldn’t even see any powerplay time, he’s too slow to recover if the puck ever goes back
Massive games by Wedgewood and Nuke
They call me Mr negative haha 😬
I bet we’ll see the same movie where the Stars score to go back up, Avs chasing score one to give us hope only to get scored on again
Avs must be blind because they’re trying to pass and shoot through Chicago players just standing there
The Avs should try more low quality shots from the point
Makar being a rover is how it SHOULD be, taking Nuke off the top unit for Brindley is one step forward, five steps back
Death, taxes, and Makar missing the net on the power play
Makar with a 36% xGF game far. Not only has he been struggling to score since late November, his xGA/60 5on5 has been catastrophic.
The guy hasn’t looked good in over 2 months.
Necas has been the worst forward (xGF%) last 2 months and it’s no coincidence MacKinnon looks this good with someone else
TSN wondering why there’s no Av near the MTL net on the pp
Avs coaching staff too stupid to realize this
Montreal has 8 shot attempts. 6 of which are from the inner slot. This is alarming.
Makar can’t do a single thing right on the powerplay, fucking yikes
And there’s the shorthanded goal
How many shorthanded chances are the Avs going to give up on the PP?
The Avs defensive coverage is in complete shambles
5on5 points in the last 25 games:
Josh Manson - 16 points
Brent Burns - 13
Cale Makar - 11
Sam Malinski - 10
He's also getting his head caved in defensively.
We're now at 24 games where Makar is giving up more defensively than he's creating. He's a complete liability when he's on the ice.
Sub 50xGF from your supposed best defenseman/norris calibre guy.
The Avs PP staff and players haven't been able to crack the code:
Cale Makar has been beyond brutal defensively for almost 2 months now, he’s sub 50% xGF. The worst for any player on this team. That can’t happen
These defensive issues team wide begin at the start of April. And they didn’t bother righting the ship while they were winning and now it’s costing them.
Fire this fucking powerplay coach for fucks sake
Flyers look more desperate and urgent than the Avs, and they’re up by 2 lol
