Who's Our Preference for the Avalanche 2nd Round Opponent? Makar With Another Norris Nomination
Vložit
- čas přidán 1. 05. 2024
- The Colorado Avalanche are in wait and see mode at the moment, waiting for the Dallas Stars or Vegas Golden Knights to be their next opponent. The fan base seems to be divided on who they would prefer for the Avs to play. We discuss our thoughts.
Cale Makar was nominated again for the Norris Trophy as the leagues best defensemen. We don't think he'll be able to beat our Quinn Hughes for the award this year, and we discuss why.
While we all wait our next opponent, enjoy our latest episode! Tune in, subscribe and enjoy!

THANKS GUYS!!!
Just heard the show...
Best birthday week ever🎉🎉🤗🤗
I always got ya 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Let’s not forget how Colorado matched up against the Jets during the regular season, look how that series played out. I’m feeling confident against either. Hell give us both! 🤣
I have to say Dallas. Vegas are the defending champs for a reason and have a very experienced team. I dont care if we play weaker teams all the way to winning another cup. Its the playoffs so any team still playing is not a weaker team in my opinion. I would love to see the Avs destroy Dallas and then sweep Edmonton again in the WCF before beating either Florida or NYR in the SCF! 2 Cup wins in 3 years would be amazing. They are just as good if not better than the 2022 team. They just have to stick to their game and they will be very difficult to beat 4 times. GO AVS!! Get Parise a Cup before he retires!
Win one for the Parise
I think we match up better against Dallas cause we are similar teams but I think the Avs do it better. Goaltending would be the question mark in my mind. VGK fans are insufferable though so I wouldn’t mind the opportunity for the Avs to make them cry though
It’s a win win lol
You're looking at this all wrong. Which team would you rather be beat by?
What about this road:
R1. Hellebuyck
R2. Oettinger
R3. Demko
SC. Shesterkin
It be Georgiev ultimate matchups
Oh my god it’s like mortal kombat
I think it was Landy who said, to be the best we have to beat the best"
bring on whomever
I’m just enjoying the moose and choo choo show
Ain’t it fun lol
I’d much rather play Vegas. #1 I just think the stars are a much better team than Vegas (I don’t care what our record was vs Dallas in the regular season, the Winnipeg series just proved why that doesn’t matter) #2 for all the understandable fuss about mark stone, he has 2 goals and is a minus 3 and looks like he’s playing hurt and overall I don’t think Vegas has the forward depth to compete with the Avs like the stars do, #3 I want revenge for blowing a 2-0 series lead in 2021 and knocking Vegas out would make me giddy
Everyone hates Vegas lol
I'd rather get Vegas because if we got Dallas, I'm worried Jamie Benn would do something dirty and take out one of our guys for the rest of the playoffs
On puck drop Manson needs to rag doll him! And put him in his place
Who’s afraid of little ole me? Lol
He won’t he learnt it the hard way last year against Stone
Benn isnt dirty lmao
@@aysoncastillo4613uhh he was suspended last playoffs for cross checking Stone???? REMEMBER????????
Question for either of you. And I know there could possibly be recency bias but also hindsight knowing we won the cup in 2022, but at this moment if the Avs are able to continue to play the way they are for the rest of the playoffs (let’s say drouin doesn’t come back at all and no landy at all), how do you compare the two teams? Which one is deeper? Do you think this Avs teams has a better chance than back in 2022 at this point in the playoffs?
The road is tougher but the team is deeper
Yes this avs team is way deeper in every area
I feel Dallas would be the team to play , they out played the in reg season . They struggle against Vegas , having said that the AVS look like a team that can beat anyone😈 providing u know who stays hot . BYW love that Hat Kyle !
It keeps my brain from escaping lol
Vegas gives us home ice. Dallas has home ice. We're the best in the league at home. Both Vegas and Dallas have knocked us out before. Vegas is defending but I think Dallas is better. I want to see my team run through the better team without home ice and make an even more strong statement than smoking Bucky
Pick your poison
All you need to do is look at the players poll when it comes to who is the best defenseman. Two years in a row, it's a landslide for Makar. What your peers think is the most important consideration.
That’s true and he’s respected and revered
The NHL exists to *provide the Avalanche* with 31 other teams to beat.
Each fan of each team should think of their own team the same way.
Bring on whomever. NEXT!
"Are you not entertained?"
Yes, coach, WE ARE.
I’m a stars fan, curious to what you guys were feeling. I had hoped the AVS continued their game 1 perceived struggles. But they came back very strong. We were gonna have to beat you sometime, I think it depends on otter. We can score with you, and defend. (Hopefully with 6 d men) it’s all up to the goalies.
It’s a good matchup if the Stars end up closing out Friday or Sunday. Not ready to dig into details until your series is closed out as there will be plenty of time for that once it’s settled. Best of luck!
We are just as shocked as you are lol
Okay let’s not get ahead of ourselves 😂 they can’t score or defend with the avs the stars are good don’t get me wrong but saying they can hang with avs offensively especially but also defense is delusional quite honestly
Delusional ? Going by the only metric we have to judge by. You barely scored more throughout the season but you allowed 20 more goals.
Our goal differential was 14 points higher . All stats say Colorado is the better offensive team by a little , but not defensively. By a lot .
But, playoff hockey is different .
I view you guys as a finesse team , we aren’t world beaters in that category either .
Yes playoff hockey is different and this avs teams elevates their game to levels that are mind blowing this team is better than the 2022 team which was one of the greatest nhl playoff teams in history. Let’s go down the list offensive depth the avs win by far, defense we win there as well and goaltending IF georgiev plays like round one we are tied there. The stars are great at passing but the avs are very very physical and very very fast
My hockey watching origins start around the time Mike Modano was feathering his hair before hitting the ice and had his jerseys modified with thinner fabric on the back so it would ruffle more when skating...I hated that guy and want to beat Dallas in the most meaningful ways possible at all times. It's as strong as Red Wing or Canuck animosity for me.
I am right there with the Modano deal
I care less about “who” the Avs play and more about “how” they play. If they keep up that round one pace, I like their chances against anyone. I mean, both Dal and VGK are both experienced playoff teams and tough outs and having a preference feels like a setup. A team ready to win the cup respects every opponent but fears nobody. I’d suspect the staff is game planning for both teams now with the extra time off and will be ready for either and will be all about execution.
That’s a great point. What Avs team will show up lol
I'd say dallas over vegas because of the history between the two franchises. Avs played vegas once so far and this is also a beginning of a new rivalry. Either way its gonna be entertaining
I dislike them equal lol
Dallas is a better match for the AVS in my opinion. You gotta know that our identity is not going to change, therefore who presents more of a problem in cracking that identity? Vegas to me is big on all lines and has a better chance of slowing the game down. With that said, bring on whoever wins . A seven game series brings the best team. That road can not be diminished and if you beat whoever,raise the CUP proud. 8
I'm going pure Pretty Hate Machine on this one. Give me Vegas and the stupid drummers and dancers and flashy lights... oh ya and home ice for my Hommies.
Let the hate flow
You liked that reverse sweep in 2021 didnt you
@@liljoe31Dallas is just better rn lol stone looks like he’s already hurting I’d rather smoke that team
Personally, I like the away ice starting game.. I think the Avs need to get angry first
I like ANGRY Avs
I'll say I'd rather see dallas. As to me they seem like a similar team being more offensively minded. But I think the avs have a bit more offensive prowess. Kind of want to say defense is roughly even between them right now, but I'll say dallas has the edge in goal tending imo. But then again that didn't mean much against winnipeg so I could be wrong.
And then for the Norris I see no reason why hughes shouldn't win it as hes played well and hasn't won one yet and makar has one won so big deal. Really my only possible issue if hughes wins are the Vancouver fans who have already/will suddenly decide hughes has ALWAYS been better then makar. Because i just dont see it.
Like there's a reason why makar is one of the NHL's Golden boys.
I think of you dive deep into the stats I would think Makar would have the edge, only 2 less points but 5 fewer games, GA/TA far better but it’s close and I feel like the media that votes for these things def would rather give it to a guy on a Canadian team lol.
Let Hughes have his year lol
I don't get the point of taking a shot at Hellebuyck. We all saw what happened in the first round, and there's no reason to be a poor winner.
As for who I'd rather see us face... I'd rather Vegas just because I'd like to see the Avs knock them out, but neither team will be an easy series. On that note, I don't think you can really say playing the teams with worse records would diminish anything. You say playing Nashville wouldn't mean as much, but to play them that would mean that they took out Vancouver and Edmonton to get there and 100% deserve to be where they are at. Did it diminish the cup two years ago when we completely outclassed Edmonton and swept them? Nonsense take.
He played his best hockey-per him lol
@shaggyvondoom did you watch the whole interview? Because I did. It's very easy to rag on that comment alone when you ignore the rest of the interview that gives it some perspective. This also has nothing to do with the sarcastic comments that were made in this video.
Also, for the record, I don't think he played terrible against the Avs, I think he played decent (although certainly not his best) and got hung out to dry by his team for 5 straight games.
@@JustAFan444 I have been very vocal in my admiration, respect and stick taps to Bucky all series long
The avs don't match up well against Vegas.
@@Rdf445 they apparently didn't match up well against Winnipeg either...
I dont care who they play, I just want round 2 to start already!
Another issue if we get Dallas, we’re going to have to deal with the glass banger fan from Dallas
Oh god I forgot about that…
We both have to deal with that nutjob….
if the stars and vegas go 7, then game 7 would be sunday and 2nd round starts monday lol so tuesday for us ,so whoever we get they get one day rest and if its vegas then they are flying to colorado and into the altitude
This is the NHL playoffs, guy, there is no easy pathway.
Personally, I'm just rooting for a 3OT Game 7
Make it 9 OT and I’ll go in with ya
Sorry guys but if Vegas keep playing like that it will be over end of second tonight lol
Dallas just cause I wanna enjoy VGK getting bounced in the 1st after their shenanigans
That is a great counter point
Shenanigans=doing everything within the rules the league has set to make their team as good and competitive as possible.
@@joeydrummer7929sure, but they’re doing it while knowing alot of owners wont sign up on it. It’s not just a management thing you’ve gotta be ready to blow millions. It’s a gamble- you won already so It’s about time you were on the losing end of it. might make your owner doubt the strategies in the future
They all really wantwd Dallas
Vegas - home ice advantage! Dallas will be very, very, very difficult! I like Matt Duchene, at least one open born-again Christian!
Vegas is throwing im sure
It's Dallas 1000%. Vegas can choke on it with their cap circumvention tactics. They deserve to get served up at home tonight and not go another step further in the playoffs this year. Matter of fact, I hope they go up 3 goals early and then slowly choke it away the rest of the game so it's extra painful. We can hate Dallas as a rival, but at least they're on the up and up and not trying to loophole their way to a championship. We wanted Seattle last year and that didn't pan out so well, so forget preference. It's all about fair play going forward for me.
Fair play ????? 😂
😢😢😢😢
@@joeydrummer7929 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Justice is delicious! Mmm. So good.
@@mrjupiter80 what justice lol. Are we banned of the league ?
And we just lost a playoffs series and you need to win 3 more to have the same summer that we had last year.
@@jikoer Exploited the salary cap loophole, again, and still lost. That sweet, sweet justice. We had our summer a couple years ago and if we bow out this year, at least it'll be to a legitimate team on an even playing field. I can live with that.
Dallas. I'd rather lose to Dallas than to the LTIR Exploiters. I don't discount Tampa's back-to-back cups. They had the same shortened season and bubble playoffs that everyone else did. Last team standing wins. Then made it to the finals again the next season which was a full season.
They also used LTIR the same way Vegas does, which btw is within the rules the NHL has set themselves and that damn near every GM is in favor of keeping that way . But oh yea totally Vegas=bad but Tampa totally not when they did the same shit 😂😂😂. Talk about inconsistency
@@joeydrummer7929 That doesn’t make it right.Tampa did it one season. Vegas does it with Stone every year. Going on three or four years now. They’re just rubbing the loophole in everyone’s faces.
For me, i just want to see vegas lose. Dont care who. Dallas on the other hand, i would like to see the avalanche beat them. All the talk this year has been about how great dallas is, and how shallow colorado is, so would be great to start the golf season for the stars. If the avs play like they did vs the jets it doesnt matter who they play
Vegas are going all the way if Hill becomes HIM again which started in game 6
@@michaelangst6078 vegas will be lucky to survive dallas, and they have absolutely not looked like the force they did last year, and it isn't just hill
@@qp2044 I am deep in the sports betting world and none of the people who I talk to had Winnipeg going anywhere in the playoffs. You saw some morons saying Winnipeg can beat Colorado and go all the way and it tricked you into thinking Colorado beat a much tougher team than they actually did
@@michaelangst6078 nobody asked
Im sure that's the reason and not the reverse sweep we put on you in 2021
Signed,
LAs Vegas Injured Reserve fan
I watched this last night, it was my last listen of the day.
Avs aren't beating either team. The Jets are a bunch of headcases.
Huh? The avs are deeper and better than 2022 and that was one of the best playoff teams in nhl history lmao
@@kalebmcdaniel9147 they have 3 players this time, they had 5 last time. They're missing Landeskog and Kadri.
@@Nunya_BizNesshuh????? They have mackinnon, rantanen, makar, nichuskin, lehkonen, Middelstadt and a lot more including Zach parise the avs are deeper than 2022 there is no debate I dunno what your smoking and dont forget drouin
@@kalebmcdaniel9147 Lehkonen fades in and out. Middlestadt is still a nobody. Parise is a has been. Drouin was great in Quebec Junior where no one plays D.
@@Nunya_BizNessok now I know you don’t watch the avs at all. Lehkonen is one of the avs most clutch and best playoff players middelstadt has been absolutely incredible and drouin has also been incredible and has had a career year and is one of our top liners
This Chris guy what a joke I mean how can he get that many viewers, it’s not a popularity contest dude. It s hockey not a soap opera as to who will attract more viewers. As a Canadian I find it so weird these U.S. wanna be hockey analyst and what comes out of their mouth.
Vegas would be a much tougher opponent and they can certainly lose to them. Anybody who denies this has 0 clue
AVS Stars would be a fun series. That said, a VGK 🧹 would be thoroughly satisfying & in the words of the great & powerful Nature Boy Ric Flair, "To be the man! WOO! You gotta BEAT the man!"
