What are we fucking doing?

Sitting on our heels for the second straight game
You can’t tell me we don’t have a better option on the Idaho Steelheads than Lundquist. 

Fucking the EBUG is probably better!

maybe Robertson can show up.

Man, his overall playoff numbers look OK now but he’s mostly invisible. I’d love to flip that guy for somebody who will get his hands dirty in the playoffs.

I’m guessing most of his points are from the power play.

We can’t score on an odd-man rush to save our lives

it really is ridiculous.  we tend to shoot and not pass but our shooting is pretty damn poor.  to be honest we don't seem to have high level stick handling talent.

they just have better offensive players and the best offensive defenseman in the game.  luckily their D and goalies aren't as good as Vegas'.

big win. need to steal one on the road now.

especially after that ridiculous embellishment call last game. That was 10x the embellishment. 

So, about that ... can someone here explain to me like I'm a child what Marchment did on either of those plays that indicates to the ref that he flopped? Because I can't see anything there on either of 'em.

Denver Post columnist crying about the Benn hit:

Quote



 

DALLAS — Jamie Benn needs to “feel” you, as Nuggets coach Michael Malone likes to say. Right between the ears.

If the NHL won’t send a message to Benn, the Dallas Stars’ goon in green, then the Avalanche must. Starting with Game 3 Saturday night at Ball Arena.

Legal hit? More like calculated assault. At worst, the Dallas captain should’ve seen five minutes in the sin bin for his cheap shot of Avs defender Devon Toews some 2:43 into the second period of Game 2.

Benn launched. He left his feet. Toews’ head snapped like a crash test dummy. Officials declared it a shoulder-on-shoulder crime and suggested we all move on. To paraphrase my best pal Deion Sanders, that’s some bull junk, right there.

For one, even if the Stars winger was aiming for Toews’ shoulder, at least one angle showed him connecting directly with No. 7’s neck. Which, last I checked, is connected to and immediately south of the head.

“I mean, does he catch a piece of his shoulder? Yeah, I guess you could argue that,” Avs coach Jared Bednar, whose team returns to Denver after a road split at American Airlines Center, replied when I asked about the collision. “But the target is high and it’s at his head, and he makes contact with the head. And I’ve seen, many times, guys get called for the head shot and penalty with a lot less than that. But I guess they didn’t think so.”

Two, Benn knew exactly what he was doing. The Stars knew what he was doing. Dallas coach Pete DeBoer, whose Vegas teams delighted in pushing the Avs around in the postseason, knew darn well.

“Benner has been outstanding in this playoff. I thought against Vegas he did and he did (it) smart,” the Stars boss said late Thursday night. “He did it at the right times and he did it clean. But his presence physically is having an impact for us in these playoffs in a real positive way.’’


Kareem Jackson, my man, you chose the wrong sport. DeBoer woulda loved you.

In the NFL, Benn’s shot is an ejection, a fine, a suspension and a chat with the safety cops.

In the NHL, it’s a “real positive” presence, a strategic wrinkle in a no-holds-barred, merciless bracket.


The refs decided the hit was at Toews’ shoulder blade and not a head shot. Some slo-mo angles showed otherwise, especially as the D-man pinged off another Dallas player like a rag dol. By the letter of the law, it looked (makes air quotes) “clean.”

But barely legal is still barely.

“It is what it is,” Bednar said. “You’ve got to play through it.”

You’ve got to respond. After that hit, Gabe Landeskog would’ve found a convenient, strategic moment in the action to kindly re-arrange Benn’s face.

Once a bully knows they can get away with murder in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, there’s only way to stop a killing spree.

Someone’s gotta pick up the Captain’s spine. Someone’s gotta let Benn know that this won’t stand. And neither will he.

Someone’s gotta pick up Landy’s steel. Landy’s soul.

It’s not in Nathan MacKinnon’s game, bless him. It’s not in Cale Makar’s DNA, although a reactive shove after Toews got clocked landed him in an awkward headlock for a few seconds.

“Hopefully there was no intent into the head,” Avs forward Andrew Cogliano said of the Benn ambush.

Then, instead of walking it back, Cogs walked it forward.

“Maybe there was, obviously, a little bit to the head,” he added. “But, yeah, I don’t know.”

He knew. Everybody did.

“It’s a physical game this time of year,” Bednar said, “but I just can’t understand how that was not a penalty. Even if it isn’t a five (minute major).”

Join the club. Fortunately, Toews returned to the ice, but Benn needs a break. And a lesson. If the league won’t do it, somebody in burgundy and blue needs to apply a little elbow grease.

Better yet, the whole elbow.

And still legal.  Calling for frontier justice is the right answer?  I hope this is just click bait and not the guy’s actual opinion. 

Yeah the Pietrangelo hit on Seguin was dirty (even though Seguin said he doesn't view Pietrangelo as a dirty player). Benn's hit was clean, shoulder to shoulder, no elbow, etc. He just hit him so fucking hard that it made his head whip around, which made some dipshits think it was dirty.

When did Mac Engel start writing for the Avalanche? Barely legal reference is terrible. If it’s barely legal then it’s still legal, dumbass. Don’t ask me how I know.

Yeah Benn's hit was huge, but the Pietrangelo hit on Seguin was easily dirtier.

He is probably putting the finishing touches on that article this afternoon.

What a bitch-made column. Anson Carter or Bissonette said maybe — maybe — you could call charging but the contact to head was on the rebound off Wyatt. They also the proof it wasn’t a head shot was that Toews came back and played. If it had been a head hit, not a chance he gets cleared to play.

this is what all the CTE bullshit has wrought.  it's fucking hockey dude.  no one threw an MMA spinning back fist or even an elbow or forearm.  and there was no contact to the head.  the snap of the head is a natural reaction when you get jacked.  sure come at Benn.  I'm sure he'll be ready.

christ if the spinning back fist that draws blood isn't a major then what Benn did is a normal play.

It was a dirty hit and I don't know how they waived off the penalty.  I saw a clear hit to the head.  I'm just glad Toews came back and seems to be OK.

 

Maybe Manson needs to kick Benn's ass again.  He hit him into the Stars bench last night.

bullshit. cry more. it was a clean hit and I'd love to see colorado come after benn. that shit would be hilarious. while they're focused on him we'll go score 3. fuck the avs. bitch made team and fans,

I'll never forget I was in durango with the ex. Car broke down on the way to Lake Powell so we stopped there for night. Stars just happened to be playing the avs and I was sitting at a bar watching when some hillbilly saddled up next to me and challenged me to a drinking contest - loser pays the tab. he sat there and ripped the stars while we pounded back drinks. He was convinced he could drink me, a sissy Texan, under the table. I outlasted him (and so did the Stars) and he finally got pissed and paid the tab and walked out - not without calling me and my team pussies. I was hammered as fuck, but I won. Lol. Bitch.

lulz.  Avs won't be focused on Benn.  Just Manson.  He can handle that by himself. And lol at bitch made team.  How is your one Cup 25 years ago treating you?

Avs got what they wanted out of the first 2.  Split and bring the series home.  And they should probably stop giving the Stars 4 free power plays going forward.

I've made my peace with that series.  Gotta be healthy to win a chip and the Nuggets are not healthy right now.

Makar got suspended for that hit.  Are you saying Benn should also be suspended?  Dude went shoulder first into Toews' head and left his feet.
