Avalanche Drop One to the Blue Jackets. Inexcusable or No Big Deal?

- The Colorado Avalanche started and ended their matchup against the Columbus Blue Jackets the way you would want the Avs to play against any team, let alone the Blue Jackets. It was the in-between where Columbus cashed in, which was enough to put the Avalanche away, 4-1.
Bottom line is the Avs can't lose to a team like Columbus at this stage in the season. But did they play well? The stats say they did. But the stats don't matter much when you don't have two in the standings.

To me it’s been this way the whole season , when the nice plays don’t work they just keep doing it, when you play that way for for half the game but if it doesn’t work simplify shoot at the net go for rebounds
We outshot them 49 to 24 or something like that, that's why it means nothing. A rookie goalie playing out of his mind, same old, same old lol. I've learned to look forward to the playoffs because facing starting goalies is waaay better for this offense apparently, random no name goalies on garbage teams are almost guaranteed to turn into Hasek
This game had a weird vibe. Hot goalie but he gave up A TON of rebounds & the lack of guys getting to the net was driving me crazy. Nuke woulda feasted! From the post hits to the total misses, everyone's shot & pass was off. It kinda felt like a bad ice game🤬
Let's just get to game 83 as healthy as possible. #goavsgo
They were just off. It happens sometimes. A few mistakes that got punished. A couple of unlucky bounces. A hot goalie (seem to be a lot of those facing the Avs atm). My biggest concern is they don't seem able to adapt somehow. If the pretty plays aren't working sometimes you have to get the dirty, garbage goals. Shoot the puck and hope it pings off something/someone or you scrap it in from the crease. That's my only real concern.
It seems that we're saying "Val Nichuskin would have made the difference in this game", too often. As much as I like his impact when he's playing I am having worries that being out of the lineup much too often might be the norm. I wasn't happy with the loss to Montreal at home and I am less happy with this loss. They were games the Avs should've won.
He didn't in the Montreal game. People will say will hey,, Montreal is better than we thought because they beat Florida, but I what i saw from that Montreal and Florida game, Florida simply not giving a fuck. The turnovers they had in that game were atrocious. It's painfully obvious Florida has not cared about playing defense to avoid wear and tear and possibly injuries going into the playoffs
First of all, Nichushkin didn't play in the Montreal game and second, what does Montreal vs Florida got to do with anything other than the fact that Florida has not played well for the last 2-3 weeks.@@michaelangst6078
TBH: I would prefer a 1st round matchup with Winnipeg instead of Nashville - Predators are going to do some physical damage in the 1st round, so let's stay healthy!!!
That game was frustrating to watch, had many posts. Even almost scored on the first shot. Perhaps the blue jackets just played the best hockey they could. Nichuskin is a massive difference for the first line. He is a giant column that allows those one timers and snipes to go through so easy. Sucks we are still chasing Dallas for first. Gotta win these coming games.
This is gonna sound uninformed as hell, but it looked to me like we didn't beat their goalie, not that we didn't beat the jackets.
When it comes down to goal tending i have no faith in either of our keepers. Ive been worried about it all year not to mention our defense is no where near what is was during our cup run, personally i dont think we make it far again this year in the playoffs but I hope im wrong
The hockey gods like to remind everyone that every team, even the crappy teams, has professional-level players on it, and no game is a given. They had, what, 47 shots on goal, but hardly any of them were in the 2nd when they needed to take control of the game. I agree that this is more of a "no big deal" than a true cause for concern, but there are issues. The celebrated defense still gives up too many chances, and goaltending is their Achilles' heel. Playoffs are going to be heartburn-inducing nailbiters. We'll see how far they can go. I think a LOT is going to depend on matchups.
I mean lets be honest, during that 9 game win streak the avs robbed some teams like Vancouver and Pittsburgh and as far as im concerned this game is just "the powers that be" evening things out. like Montreal and Columbus flipped the script and robbed us this time. Its just how it goes sometimes imo.
You're just delusional if you think this game is beating Vegas
Was hoping the final score was just a bad April fool’s joke… I am not sure why it feels like the Avs play DOWN to teams. I don’t understand what’s going on with that. They beat the preds and did great… but lose to the blue jackets? 🤦🏻♀️ I almost think the Georgie thing was an accident. I don’t think he intended for the puck to go into the stands. I’m all for showing some passion and emotion, but sometimes it feels like a tantrum. Gotta be careful with that. Still a playoff team… still have some good games left. Gotta figure it out boys.
Lack of motivation. Let's get to playoffs time already
After this stretch of stinkers, I feel like the Minn tame are gonna get absolutely THROTTLED on Thurs! I'm going, AVS 8 Tame 1, Mikko hatty, Nate 4pts, Miles Wood GOAL! Let's hang a friggin ⛄on the board boys!
Same same. We won't go far in the playoffs and every team in the roster knows about our weakness.
Well I imagine they were playing cautiously before playoffs. Seems like they're fine with second seed. I'm pretty sure they were 50/50 cup year once they clinched. Don't get hurt, rest up. Last year we used up everything to get number one seed just to lose round one... Let's hope.
Avs lost year because Nichushkin left after game 2. Regardless I don't think the Avalanche will beat Vegas if they meet up with them. Hertl is a more talented version of Nichushkin and Vegas have the bodies to make him a non factor. Their 2 to 4 lines are better and they have more reliable goalies... Of course I can still get Vegas for +1400 and avalanche at only +800 to win the cup, so what do I know???? Absolutely nothing according to the sportsbooks...
@@michaelangst6078 you need to get over that dude. Val took care of his mental health prior to the playoffs this year. Can we win the cup without him, I doubt it. And do you honestly think Hertl can mesh with a team in less than 2 weeks. Vegas has to get past round one before worrying about them.The avs are a much deeper team this year than last year. I wouldn't worry. Last year we won the central but had no gas left in the tank. Look at Florida, they are sucking atm, but your not counting them out. Why count avs out with 2 losses.
@@michaelangst6078 I do agree with you on the betting odds. Hidden stats we don't look at I suppose.
Weird game, not a terrible first period, bounces didn’t go our way. This idea that our only problem is goaltending needs to end though, our defense is giving up too many quality chances.
If you watched the game, you understand that this wasn’t a bad loss. The effort was there, they just couldn’t beat Columbus’ goalie. It happens.
Inexcusable they lost to Montreal at home a last place team in their division a winnable game
Cash rules 💰
Why it's an issue with Georgiev vs Nate, is Nate has stolen many games for the avs this year, G has not
Sad😢
Sorry we just have weak, streaky goaltending. Fix that and we are contenders, without solid net work we are just pretenders
Meh, it is what it is, were in the playoffs!
I like to thanks the “AWESOME SAUCE” for these fantastic games I have been seeing the AVS play. AVS had an impressive 47 shots on goal with STUD players of Mackinnon, Rantanen, and Makar generously combined for 23 of those shots. That means 24 shots were taken by 9 players out of the rest of the team. So that means 6 players on the team decided to take a nap during the game. I call that true teamwork. Ahahaha The cannon was loved by both Marc Moser and Mark Rycroft the commentators over at Altitude Now . This game against the Blue Jackets are the games that Chris loves the most. And that is why the Awesome Sauce is working. Ahahahaha
Are they getting paid less for a game vs CBJ? No! So what I saw was just not good enough! If they are not excellent in excuses, they should hire you for that job. Wonder what excuses you have if they blow the first round again with pathetic hockey like last night?
Look what happened to the AVS in the playoffs last year when they won the division. Look what happened to the Rangers! The Bruins! If the AVS come in 2nd or 3rd, it doesn't mean squat. This game was a fluke. Lamenting that this game is any indication of how they will play going forward is a waste of energy. Shrug your shoulders and move on...
We miss Kadri so much. When an opposing goalie got hot, it was guaranteed that Kadri would knock him over a few times to get him off his game. WE need another player like that. The Mickey Redmond type who if a team was blocking a lot of shots would deliberately aim upper body at them until they stopped.
If you miss kadri don’t bother go in the playoffs
What? Kadri was awesome in the playoff run.
@@pstandlee it was 2 years ago. There’s only 3 or 4 players in a team who are untouchable. And he wasn’t one of them.
And even if he was you are the Colorado Avalanche.
I am the Colorado Avalanche? Yes I am. Thank you.
