The Packers and Avalanche are very similar teams in separate leagues over the last 10-15 yrs. Perennial contenders with an emphasis on finesse over grit, with polarizing stars (Rodgers & Mackinnon), that consistently underachieved in the playoffs with only one ring to show for it
@TimCowlishaw A healthy Stars squad is closer to winning a cup right now than the Avalanche. They have the size and heavy play style it takes to survive the grind. You’re close.
-Avs fan
@rockiesghost@Spence0202 Those two are the heavy standard in the West, no argument. Avs mostly have the big players to match. What they’re missing is the system.
I’m not a Vegas fan, but if Carter Hart lifting the cup is what it takes for those heated rivalry and pronoun people to stop watching hockey, I’m all for it.
@Blutman27 Necas’ 8 year deal hasn’t even kicked in yet lol, as much as Avs fans would like him gone after this series, get used to him. That Mikko trade will haunt them for years
@Nmartell97@KArnoldffk@puckempire Also, it was not so easy for Georgiev or Annie in the past when the Avs also dominated possession time and had a mostly similar d core in front of them.
@Nmartell97@KArnoldffk@puckempire I’ll meet you half way here. Wedgewood was not great in game 3. However, he is not the primary reason they are down 3-0 in this series, and if you have any puck sense you know this too.
@Nmartell97@KArnoldffk@puckempire Lazy reply. Wedgewood led the league in save % and GAA in the regular season. If you think this 3-0 hole is on the goaltending, you’re wrong.
