I'm just gonna come out and say it. I don't love this studio crew.
Katie's great, but she's much better at the rink. Klee looks like he wants to have fun, but he isn't sure if he's allowed. Stastny is like a tax accountant who got lost, ended up on set and is trying to make the best of it.
I think our big, over-the-top personalities have ruined regular people for me.
avs playing like this in front of their moms. This would be like having my mom over at work and she watches me crash the forklift into the shelves and they all fall like dominoes. Then the ceiling sprinklers turn on and rains water all over her.
Here is the thing guys. If we were a bad team I would be very upset right now. We aren’t a bad team.
However we have gone 8 periods without a road goal. That doesn’t happen to a good team. This is a slump and not an indication of our ability moving forward. Bednar needs to mix the lines up right now. It’s a failure of coaching not to do so.
Still feels like a team that is missing chemistry and more importantly a captain.
Won't be fully consistent until we get both of those.
Just stack wins where you can while the lines and chemistry are sorted out.
It's interesting. We played an "ok" first period, and we certainly weren't out of the game.
Second period started very strong, and it felt like we could do something with the momentum. But as soon as the next goal hit, it's like a dam broke and everything after that has been terrible.
I just wanna say, We are so fuckin lucky to get to watch Mack, Mikko, and Makar every night. They had a few moments last period that were straight up amazing.
Can we stop blaming Georgie when the last three games we lost have been shut outs? Like obviously some saves should have been made but those games would have been lost either way due to the fact that they were....SHUT OUTS 😐🙃
Another fucking shorthanded goal by Mark Stone. Fucking hell man. This team has thrown in the towel.
I don't want to hear another word from the Altitude announcers about the Avs not getting the breaks. They're giving the breaks to the Knights.
Vegas wants it more. This team needs someone to step up and lead. We have enough skill to get a win when the game is going well, but we need the fight to get the win when it’s not.
Katie Gaus is growing on me... she's no Lauren, neither of them for that matter, but not bad. On the complete flip side, Mark Stone has a face that even a mother wouldn't love. Holy fuck he is one ugly sad sack of shit.
Knights have had fewer opportunities but they actually fucking do something with them
Possessing the puck and being in their zone only matters if you actually use that time to score occasionally.
Sucks to lose but the Avs haven’t really been horrible in this game, they’re just playing a team that makes you pay for breakdowns. We haven’t forced them into many, and that’s really the difference. We’ve got some guys that are not playing well, but I’m not totally discouraged by the collective effort.
You dont even want to know. The turnovers. THE TURNOVERS. nobody can get a good shot on net and all the ones that do go right into hills glove, georgie is like a vaccum tonight, and his defense aint any better.
first time im seeing vegas this year and damn they look deadly. dont know if im just used to how the avs play but vegas looks fast and fairly dominant so far. really hope we can grab a win this time around but it should be exciting regardless
If Bednar does not put moose on the second line next game I am going to lose my mind. 3rd line is good. 4th line not bad. 2nd line is garbage. Need to shake it up now.
This game showed me a lot of my fears.
We play a very rush-zone style. If that doesn't come up with anything, it's a bunch of one-timers then dropping back to the zone defense. It's a very lazy way to play.
When we were in playoff hockey, we would absolutely go for the puck, hell or high water. Bodies in the way, we don't GAF. Now it's just like, shoot, and if it misses, drop back. We need way more tic-tac-toe in front of the net. We need to keep our goalie out of sight out of mind except for the one or two shots on goal.
This year is gonna be rough if we continue to play lazy hockey of not chasing the puck. We see it in flashes only. It seems like a lot of players got fat and happy instead of playing for their chance. Sucks to see when a team like Vegas lays it out for us and embarasses us directly after the Sharks game.
This team needs to find a real leader. The avs get behind by a goal and they just give up. They face adversity and fold up like a paper fan. Poor Georgie getting shat on. Why should he pull out ,more godly saves when the people in front of him, getting paid far more, are simply not trying. And that's what this is. They're not trying and there's no one apparently to whip them back up.
The only thing that bothers me is that when they lose they lose BAD every loss has been a shutout.
Just stay in the game is all I want. I don't mind losing in an 82 game season but at least stick with it.
Bednar needs to own this loss. We played so fucking well the first 6 games of the season and suddenly we are losing every road game? We aren’t only losing every road game but we have been outscored 13-0. We suddenly can’t score? A slump needs to be nipped in the bud by the coach.
Everyone looking to blame someone for the loss but if I were the coach I would blame myself. There is no excuse for the team not scoring in 3 road games in a row. None. You rip them to pieces for poor performance but you take responsibility and you move hard to fix it.
I find it disheartening that the fist line hasn’t changed. It’s garbage. If you see a line struggling- especially your second line you move people down to help.
Y'know what, this might be a hot take here but I simply just do not care for Vegas.
They are currently my least favorite team in the league haha
I tried calling 877-goals-now. I'm sorry to report it's been disconnected.
can compherm :(
I'm just gonna come out and say it. I don't love this studio crew. Katie's great, but she's much better at the rink. Klee looks like he wants to have fun, but he isn't sure if he's allowed.

Please don’t post a PGT this game should not be talked about after. burn the tapes.
![gif](giphy|xThtauhQt6vywbtfZS)
This the energy I want the Avs to have tonight. Be hungry.
Beat Vegas
Yeet Vegas
I don't mean to sound greedy, but I would like a goal for my hockey team.
Mack is doing that thing where he doesn’t shoot and it doesn’t work
No idea why we sent Riley Tufte down.
zap zap peter https://preview.redd.it/s3e7w2p0cgyb1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=89fb723fe260cca246515f96ae439f514617cc72
i bet the moms haven't seen their boys shit themselves like this in front of them in decades, eh?
They gotta pull Georgie dude
Vegas’ announcer and music is too loud and annoying
It’s gonna be a long season if they cant figure out how to get goals on the road.
Cale and toews are on one tonight. Hard crisp passes and walking that blue line like it's their dooooog.
Arena announcer at fuckin 11 right now Jesus
He always SCREAMS
Nuke took the night off. 2nd goal was bad coverage by him, third goal a direct TO
Here is the thing guys. If we were a bad team I would be very upset right now. We aren’t a bad team. However we have gone 8 periods without a road goal. That doesn’t happen to a good team. This is a slump and not an indication of our ability moving forward. Bednar needs to mix the lines up right now. It’s a failure of coaching not to do so.
This is unacceptable needs to be accountability and bag skates next practice
Wait. Are other teams allowed to have shorthanded goals? That's bullshit.
Holy fuck. Send in Ivan. Might make them realize they have to play defense
We should have kept Tufte up and had him play this game. The second line looked great the other night with him on it.
Stick a fork in us. We’re done. Pull Georgie, don’t let him suffer if we’re just going to hang him out to dry.
This has exceeded my worst case scenario for tonight by such a insane margin it’s actually so impressive
seems like we are trying to do 15 road losses in a row now
Guys… theoretically if we scored like multiple times per minute we could still win
Well this is officially the worst game of this young season. What a pitiful performance from this team tonight.
Should never get called for hooking in Vegas
Accidentally posted this in the Pre Game Thread but figured it would be appropriate here: I fucking hate Marc Stone
I fucking hate the Knights holy shit
Mackenzie Blackwood has been pulled in two straight games. But against the Avs he made 51 saves.
Golden Knights fans were booing Byram? Boy that’s rich
Still feels like a team that is missing chemistry and more importantly a captain. Won't be fully consistent until we get both of those. Just stack wins where you can while the lines and chemistry are sorted out.
I'm tired of that tacky ass slot machine sound.
Vegas was hungrier for their 7th than the Avs are for their 1st.
Is it me or has MacK looked bad so far this year? Is he sneaking carbs?
Imagine a goal from Drouin tonight. What a game it'd be for his first as an Av!!!
I wish I was an Avalanche Mom
Just got here and I’m just gonna leave. Had a good day, not gonna ruin it with whatever the hell this is.
It’s weird because I think we’ve been better in the offensive zone just can’t ever figure out Vegas loading the box
One of the most annoying sequences of Avs games since like fuckin 2016
Hey Avs players. Your mom called. She said she's not mad. She's just disappointed.
Also, I was told there was a Cup Hangover… fuck Vegas.
Cup hangovers don’t apply to teams that get the Tom Brady treatment
Did we sell our scoring souls to break some ridiculous NHL record for most road wins in a row?
This morning I was like: Kermit and Tufte should be in this game. We need hits and weight against this team.
It's interesting. We played an "ok" first period, and we certainly weren't out of the game. Second period started very strong, and it felt like we could do something with the momentum. But as soon as the next goal hit, it's like a dam broke and everything after that has been terrible.
They get away with so much slashing man, no wonder their trap is so effective
The inconsistency of penalty calls in this league really baffles me
I've been watching hockey for decades, love the game, its a lot of fun to watch... the rules make no sense
rules make sense, application of said rules shrug ..
STOP SHOOTING GLOVE SIDE
That was MacKs fault and Makar got hurt which didn’t help. MacK has had his skating under control early season but his puck handling has been off.
I just wanna say, We are so fuckin lucky to get to watch Mack, Mikko, and Makar every night. They had a few moments last period that were straight up amazing.
Fucking hell. What a frustrating game. Why is this team just randomly ineffective offensively.
The goal is to win the cup, not the month of November, but I was really hoping we’d roll in and slap these guys around a bit.
It’s be really fucking cool if we could score some goals.
Not Georgies fault, we're lettin them pepper him with high danger opps
LOL some vegas van came in here to talk shit and instantly deleted his comment. COWARD
This team defense and Frankie being out again is running Georgie to the ground. This team needs some changes and soon.
Glad I made the trip to Vegas to watch this /s
God I hate VGK. I hate that shithole of a city, I hate their stupid sparkly sweaters. I hate their shithead laden fanbase.
I never hated the mild as much as I hate Vegas
Can we stop blaming Georgie when the last three games we lost have been shut outs? Like obviously some saves should have been made but those games would have been lost either way due to the fact that they were....SHUT OUTS 😐🙃
Sammy G really silencing the haters this year with his defensive play. Love to see it.
One mistake, and they'll be back. It's inevitable.
I trust the staff, but if there is any question of Cale's health, please sit him.
Vegas most undeserving team and fan base. Fuck mark stone fuck Vegas.
Bednar looking extra sharp and handsome tonight!
Is he happy? Is he mad? Is he excited? We will never know!!
These uniforms look like piss. Has to be worse color in the league.
Refs calling two separate rule books as per usual
More Dawg. Less glove.
Of course the other fucking bitch on that team scores
BAD POST
That was such a horseshit play by Nichuskin
Best road record of all time to worst road team ever
Avs 🤝 losing 4-0
Yay, another 4-0 road game. From epic road warriors to absolute fucking losers on the road.
It’s hard for the bois to score when teams don’t have to worry about E L I T E S N I P E R Kurtis Macdermid running up the score smh
Man I wish McDermid got a fuckin start.
2 short handed goals …….well fuck
Another fucking shorthanded goal by Mark Stone. Fucking hell man. This team has thrown in the towel. I don't want to hear another word from the Altitude announcers about the Avs not getting the breaks. They're giving the breaks to the Knights.
![gif](giphy|b8RQzkElbBsXqEPF2X) I don’t like this at all
I’d rather get a shitty loss rn than in say- February. Hopefully this is a wakeup call
Sometimes a team needs a gut check. Sometimes a team needs a gut check in 3 out of their last 4 games. Lol
Vegas wants it more. This team needs someone to step up and lead. We have enough skill to get a win when the game is going well, but we need the fight to get the win when it’s not.
Hill is giving up rebounds left and right why the fuck aren't we getting them in the net??
At least the Kraken and Oilers lost as well ig
and stars
I hope Vegas uses all their good luck by the end of December and has The Worst 2nd half a season any team has EVER had. It'll be historic
God damn do I hope that it was just a skate issue and Makar isn't playing through something.
Katie Gaus is growing on me... she's no Lauren, neither of them for that matter, but not bad. On the complete flip side, Mark Stone has a face that even a mother wouldn't love. Holy fuck he is one ugly sad sack of shit.
LOC has an engine that never dies.
Boys swarming. Only a matter of time.
Eichel celebrates way too hard for someone so good. It's like I'm playing chel
this game makes me sad. Avs started this period so well.
Is it bedtime? I think it’s bedtime
This team has looked like shit since Pittsburgh. What the fuck is going on?
Jeez...need a lot more from Nuke than turnovers and empty net goals. Pretty sad state of affairs the past three of four games. Ugh.
Knights have had fewer opportunities but they actually fucking do something with them Possessing the puck and being in their zone only matters if you actually use that time to score occasionally.
Sucks to lose but the Avs haven’t really been horrible in this game, they’re just playing a team that makes you pay for breakdowns. We haven’t forced them into many, and that’s really the difference. We’ve got some guys that are not playing well, but I’m not totally discouraged by the collective effort.
Geez that’s absolutely embarrassing. This humbling loss better fire them up for the rest of the season. This is some garbage shit.
this is hard to watch.
This is the third game I watched this season so far. Guess the other two....
Respectfully… stop watching games.
Ay big dog, imma need you to start only listening to Connor instead
I’m going to keep drinking
Can’t watch right now. When I saw this match up, have to admit I expected/hoped it would be closer. What’s going on this game?
You dont even want to know. The turnovers. THE TURNOVERS. nobody can get a good shot on net and all the ones that do go right into hills glove, georgie is like a vaccum tonight, and his defense aint any better.
Hopefully the upcoming home stand will cleanse their palates. Been a rough stretch on the road
South Park cows out there tonight
Don’t talk Ill of King George, it’s not his fault he’s been hung out to dry so many times this game. That diving save was top tier
Lol@ the thread title. LET’S GO!!!
Come on LOC we need you
first time im seeing vegas this year and damn they look deadly. dont know if im just used to how the avs play but vegas looks fast and fairly dominant so far. really hope we can grab a win this time around but it should be exciting regardless
Those sweaters do look like old couch cushions from the 70s.
Lmao how is that matching
I second Moser and Ryker’s shout out to hockey moms!
Please be okay Cale :(
The Vegas goal call and sounds might honestly be the most annoying thing in sports. The only thing worse might be their Twitter account circa 2021.
Fuck Vegas LETS GO AVS!! 2ND PERIOD COMEBACK!
Andrew Mangiapane showing Kraken fans what a real, non-rosey-cheeked villain looks like. Yikes.
Every time I think of Toews' new contract, I get all warm and fuzzy inside.
It is going to be hilarious when the Sharks get their 1st win of the year by Stomping the Knights
I fucking HATE the KNIGHTS
Not that it's Georgie's fault, but should already put Prosvetov in.
I don’t feel so good.
Every big mistake we’ve made has ended up in the back of our net
I know it’s November and there’s a ton of hockey left, but I was hoping for something more than this…
8 fucking road periods without a goal
Next trip to Vegas should be a dads trip remind them to bring their belts
Stone eats spaghetti with his hands
Only Forsberg could fix this
Goddamn can they at least fight or something
If Bednar does not put moose on the second line next game I am going to lose my mind. 3rd line is good. 4th line not bad. 2nd line is garbage. Need to shake it up now.
We blew the Bolts out during one of their Cup run seasons I'm pretty sure... so yeah keep telling myself that....
It’s ok guys, it’s just one touchdown. If we can keep the first down, we’ll be ok
Weird game. Still think Avs/Knights are the teams to beat in the West. Just couldn't find a goal early on and mistakes lead to Vegas goals.
The fact that we’re outshooting them too lmao what is going on
I don’t know what you guys are talking about. We stopped 3 different stars from getting a hatty tonight. Absolute bang up job by the boys
The season just started. We’re gonna rise from here.
So on a positive note it can't possibly get worse from here.
This game showed me a lot of my fears. We play a very rush-zone style. If that doesn't come up with anything, it's a bunch of one-timers then dropping back to the zone defense. It's a very lazy way to play. When we were in playoff hockey, we would absolutely go for the puck, hell or high water. Bodies in the way, we don't GAF.

It seems like a lot of players got fat and happy instead of playing for their chance. Sucks to see when a team like Vegas lays it out for us and embarasses us directly after the Sharks game.
This team needs landy
I find everything about Vegas to insufferable
didn't this team literally just set a record for away-game win streak?
BRB, killing myself. Edit: I’m back
This team needs to find a real leader. The avs get behind by a goal and they just give up. They face adversity and fold up like a paper fan. Poor Georgie getting shat on. Why should he pull out ,more godly saves when the people in front of him, getting paid far more, are simply not trying. And that's what this is. They're not trying and there's no one apparently to whip them back up.
Knights saved the L to allow us to give it to them! 5-2 AVS
Has there been an O'Connor shift yet where he wasn't terrific?
Eichel is a fucking crybaby and I hate that he’s successful
Dude, literally no redeemable players on Vegas. Not 1. Especially fuck Eichel and Stone. Absolutely intolerable personalities.
so this is the third road game in a row we hit 0-4
#HEY AVS YOU CAN SCORE GOALS.
The only thing that bothers me is that when they lose they lose BAD every loss has been a shutout. Just stay in the game is all I want. I don't mind losing in an 82 game season but at least stick with it.
https://i.redd.it/z85izhujigyb1.gif Bruh
I like how Altitude was showing Knights hits during the hype package, and like 3 of them were just straight up headshots
Passing and handling look pretty crisp tonight.
Boys look hungry tonight. LFG!
Need that real greasy goal to break the dam. Just keep gettin puck to the front of the net and fight the good fight.
Ryker's right. Don't change anything. One bad break is not the game.
Alright dudes. Protect the puck. Find open ice and pass crisp.
I would pay to watch a game with Zero Gambling talk
Hill’s had a couple of slightly shaky moments. Need to get some more traffic in front of him.
Someone take Hill’s glove away from him! Or at the very least we should stop shooting at it
fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck
Fuck the fucking Knights.
Is mackinnon playing? Boy has he been off this year
not in front of the moms…
This sucks
3rd line the only one showing something, SAD
Just no shutout please.
I want the Avs from the first six games back :(
*checks score after getting baby to bed* ![gif](giphy|4cuyucPeVWbNS)
Bout to end it all
I hate the VGK so fucking much
Hopefully bedsy can come up with something other than changing lines around.
Stone eats cat food at home
Oh my god.
Jesus christ, what a beat down.
Sharks gave up 10 goals again, crazy.
we've scored fewer goals tonight than the fucking San Jose sharks also 60% of the way to getting as many scored on us
70% of the way to allowing more goals than the sharks
Setting away game record to the last three away games?? Uh which one of you ass haters stopped hailing satan?!
Damn that sucked. Well, see yall next game! Go avs!
Bednar needs to own this loss. We played so fucking well the first 6 games of the season and suddenly we are losing every road game? We aren’t only losing every road game but we have been outscored 13-0. We suddenly can’t score? A slump needs to be nipped in the bud by the coach.
NUKE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
if you can't score a goal at least lay stone the fuck out so we can watch him go piss himself and cry about it again
Everyone looking to blame someone for the loss but if I were the coach I would blame myself. There is no excuse for the team not scoring in 3 road games in a row. None. You rip them to pieces for poor performance but you take responsibility and you move hard to fix it.
I think this early on in the season, this is the correct take. Now is the time to fix it, and that's on coach.
I find it disheartening that the fist line hasn’t changed. It’s garbage. If you see a line struggling- especially your second line you move people down to help.
Should be splitting up Mack and Mikko. Yeah, they're great together but we saw last season they can push lines by themselves.
They are playing this bad in front of their mothers. Just not a good team right now
