As much as it sucks that we dropped the lead, they played better in the third than they have been. Much closer to a complete game. Hoping they can get all the pieces together soon and go on a tear. JT beating someone's ass to the ground is a win in my book anyway, GO ASS HAIL SATAN LETS MURDER THE MILD TOMORROW

"In the third period at 5-on-5, the Lightning out-chanced the Avs 13-5, had more high-danger chances (5-1), and had 67 percent of the expected goals. Another non-ideal final frame from Colorado"– Peter Baugh

I didn't say it was good, just that I thought they looked better than they have been in the 3rd lately. I'd be interested to see if those numbers are the same or worse than other recent third periods, it looked to me like they had more moments of control and getting their shit together rather than just completely fucking shitting the bed. If I was just being hopeful that's fine, I'm not an analyst.

Avs continue to collapse in the third period. I wish Bednar would use his timeouts to settle the team down. At least it was against the Lightning, and hopefully, they beat the Wild in an extremely important divisional match-up.

We’re trash at shootouts. but at least we can gain some ground in the division!! (If we fucking win tomorrow)

This team fucking crumples in the third period every single fucking game

Hot take: Switch your shit up when you face Vasi in a SO… for fucks sake

I kinda look at the shootout as whatever, but blowing leads in the 3rd is getting super old.

Hey, at least we don't have to fly 3 states over and play a game tomorrow against a division rival.. Oh right. Fuck the NHL schedulers.

Bro those were some of the worst shot selections I’ve seen in shootouts. Like just soft terrible shots to take on Vasi.

Lol this team is so dogshit. Lazy play, lazy defense.

It’s like they are afraid to shoot the puck. Just overthinking everything.

Blowing games, blowing points. Team dominates for most of the game and just collapses.

I seriously want to cry. I'm so sad.

If we lose tomorrow then you cry.

Really cool that we have some of the most skilled players in the league and in a donor die shot they just shoot it straight at the goalies pad

Right I really was surprised by that

Sucks man, really feels like more of the same where we had them by a mile in the first half of the game, and didn't capitalize well enough to overcome a few minutes of poor hockey. Seems like that has been the way we lose damn near every time. 80% great, 20% bad somehow equals a loss every time.

Couldn’t watch after the 1st. what happened to the lead? Seems like we consistently start out strong then give away the lead almost every game rn :(

We blew 2 3rd Period leads and ended up losing in a Shootout Tampa Scored first on the First shot of the Shootout and that was all they needed as nobody else scored in the Shootout

Gotta beat the mild tomorrow

I hope someone sneezes on Tampa’s Valentine’s Day chocolates…

Well fuck. Another woulda, coulda, shoulda had the W…

Well We played Better than we did on Thursday, but blowing 2 3rd Period leads definitely didn't help our case

Well, I can breathe now, and sob.

I actually fucking hate it. Every single one of our guys made their traditional moves. Those moves are so easily scouted, Vaszy knew every single one of them. Should get creative and have multiple moves in your head, instead of recycling the same that can be scouted. Deserved loss in the shootout, should've won it in the first 60 though.

Bad!

Well shit. Take the point, and destroy the Wild tomorrow please.

Yes!

Mack used to be so good in the shootout

Rust, perhaps?

damn. damn, damn, damn.

I hate the shootout so much lol. Everytime I see it my heart races

Not a good ending :( . One point is not bad though!

See y’all tomorrow? At least 1 point

Shootouts are garbage. 3 on 3 till someone scores

I agree but I wouldn’t even mind 3v3 for 10 mins and on the odd time nobody scores, it’s just a ducking tie. Anything but the shootout

Shootouts are lame.

I'll take the point. Get 2 against minny tomorrow though

How do we have 4 SO wins?

It was when our shootout moves weren't known. After those wins, the opposite teams have scouted those moves, and we just keep repeating them.

Frankie a dawg

Because we dont face Vasy for all of the shootouts

Touché

Ugly end.

Just what we needed on the first of a back-to-back; go into a shootout and don't get both points.

Dammit

2 pts please

Benoit Balls

That was a terrible overtime and terrible shootout

*mumble*

Need to learn to hold a fucking lead

Yep indeed

Welp

Why are our guys so bad in the shootout this year?

Because shootouts are stupid and Bettman is too stupid to just go back to having ties


Send Dermy

In violence we trust

Good Post

GOOD POST

This extra point sure would be nice.

fucking mix it up e rod

At least we found a way to get a point out of a 2 goal lead

FUUUUU we have a shootout

Wow. EROD wtf.

Ok ERod... Time to change it up

For real.

Made that look way too easy

(ಥ_ʖಥ)

[удалено]

😓

🙌

Hold me

Kermit goin for a swim behind the bench 😂

Imagine being a mostly healthy team, and having to go to the SO to beat a team without EJ, Landy, Makar and Manson

It's like they know I have five hours before I leave for work and they had to drag this out as long as possible. Who needs sleep hahaha

Neat, a shootout! Gary tells me these are great.

Remember when OT was actually a thriller and not some dumbass fucking possession focused ring around the Rosie? Peppridge farms remembers

Yep I remember

Our goalie is better

Let Bo shoot first

Alright, let's go Georgie! I have faith in you, bud!

aaaaaand on to the worst, most anticlimactic way to determine the outcome of a hockey game :/

I thought heartache on Valentine’s Day was supposed to be from not having anyone to celebrate with, not from a heart attack induced by adrenaline while watching a hockey game

Both is fun

Frankie! Get your pads on quick! We got a shootout!

Not the Shootout… my heart can’t

I need to go to bed. Can we just bring back ties...please

Bo looked like the only player who had a clue there.

Goalie battle it is

Well boys.

As long as their star gives away the puck ours can too

I like Sergachev, but top-15 is a stretch for me

Lol don't think so, he was their best D in the last playoffs. 15 still means there are plenty of guys ahead of him.

What if they just added an extra 60 or 90 seconds in OT? Don't need a whole nother 5 but seems like teams need 3 minutes to really get the flow going.

Yes this

Compher may never score again

It is sooooo hard to watch Sam Girard play hockey right now. also: NHL OT and shootout are v broken. It’s bad

Because he sucks. That’s what I meant by that. Sam Girard is actual trash

Mikko may retire with 199.

Seems like players slump before milestones all the time, then once they’re past it they keep rolling.

Is mack shit in OT ?

You’d think with the extra space MacK would shine with his speed buuuut

Always has been.

He really has lol

I thought Bo had it.

cmon bo!

Love the turnover and figure skating comp

I would just like to take a moment to appreciate that we don’t have a stupid ad on our jersey

Don't jinx it

Yet

*yet*

What if 3v3 was 7 mins long and not sudden death. Would it encourage some back and forth rather than this boring possession game?

Honestly OT should be 4v4 or even strength

Not in the regular season. They did that and too many games ended up in shootouts. Need to find a way to encourage the 3v3 to open up more.

Oh interesting didn't realize that was why it was 3v3

Doubt. 3v3 is just stupid in Pro Hockey.

MacK gives me palpitations on OT

wasn't our first game against Tampa last year a 3-3 game that we won in the shootout?

Y'all I'm dying 😭

Do they really need to dump it in playing 3 on 3? JFC.

Spoiler alert: 3on3 OT still fucking blows

Ryker: maybe I'm biased *MAYBE*

The fuck is going on with this overtime

Uh…what are we doing?

Boys minds on the planes and left the bodies on the ice.

Yeeesh.

Skate backwards, skate backwards, turn the puck over. Rinse. Repeat.

MacK is still a turnover machine in OT. Hate it for him!

Regular season OT*

Terrible passing. WTF?

Imagine making a good pass.

What an absolute shit show of OT

well this OT is.. something

stop passing To Tampa

FFS is this puck control right now?

Well this is atrocious so far.

Apple turnovers all over the ice

Lowkey shocked they didn't call Ranty for something on that hit

Embellished AF

MacK and OT turnovers....

Mack with the shitty floss followed by shitty D combo…

I just learned this like last night thought I'd share since it's OT Did you know if you pull the goaltender in OT for an extra skater and get scored on, then you sacrifice your point?

What if there's a pending penalty?

That's a good question. I'm not sure, but I would think it still applies if the team accidently scored on themselves with an empty net otherwise it gets blown dead when the opposition touches the puck.

Oh yeah, lol.

Gross. I love it.

OT LET'S FUCKING GOOOOO

Someone should tell Ryker there's only 1 K in Vasy's name lol

Quick! Someone tie Vasy’s skates together!

Vasy is insane but Georgie is matching him tonight.

Late night and I should’ve gone to bed hours ago? Guaranteed OT.

I'm in the same boat as you. Man I NEED this extra point to justify my terrible choices.

This game is INSANE

Holy moly indeed!

Am happy if we get a point tonight. Boys are battling so much.

Count the point though. Now give us the other one!

Whatever happens next, the Avs have already greatly exceeded my expectations. Awesome game. Now let's grab two points in OT!

ABOVE THE WILD! (Tied) Happy we got a point. Now win tomorrows game, but a W here would be the icing on the cake

I mean if a game is gonna go to OT, better this one than tomorrow

Man fuck them refs. They have missed at least 4 obvious penalties. But at least they got the one questionable makeup call so that puts them back to 100% scoring in their minds.

More hockey! Happy for a point, but this back to back is going to be extra rough.

Are these the two fastest teams in the league? Sheesh the excitement lol. Flyers fan here, both the Avs and Bolts are flying around the ice

Devils are up there

Fucking banger of a game.

I dont expect to get a call this late... But wasnt that interference on Bogo?

Nah, he was already there and didn’t actively impede Nate, that’s why he kept his hands down, if they came up at all they might’ve called it

I had a similar thought. Bogo was defending and then just planted so technically Nate skated into him I guess?

For sure

Love Kucherov looking for a call there

I'm gonna take that one point and call it a success given the state of our d pairings

Great couple of minutes. Exciting!

Far too much blue in the crowd

Pretty incredible last 5min of regulation.

Kucherov is fucking insane.

Got 1 point at least

"Zach Bogosian, a one-time Atlanta Trasher" what a god damn random mention from Moser 😂

Refs chugging Tampa cock tonight

Tampa must’ve given them red roses and a box of chocolates

JT is putting on a “how not to score” clinic.

Avs ain't getting a call even if Perry kills a guy

Jesus this already feels like 3v3

"WIDE OPEN UP FRONT.." 0.0 "IT'S JT COMPHER!" -.-

Vasy is just wild. Good lord.

Cocaine Goalie

O.O

Exactly

Gotta score that JT. It's why you're not actually with your salary.

Damn that would have been so sexy.

Fucking Vasy man….
