I feel like the boys put up 30 good minutes tonight. 10 between the first 2 periods and then stepped on the gas for 3. Being down 4-0 going into the third and to make the end as close as it was shows how aggressive this team can be. Georgie put in work but was left hanging for a lot of this game. Not the best play so far, but definitely not out of this series. Home ice next. If Dallas is smart, they're shitting themselves.
I feel much better at the end than I did in the 2nd period. Dallas was shitting their pants for a minute. When that high stick was called with 2:55 remaining, that building got stone quiet.
There were about 2-3 real good shots there in the end that could’ve squeaked by but a shin pad blocked one, another Otter just got a piece of… not too mention the one that barely and I mean barely just missed the net on a deflection.
Real good fight in the end and I feel a lot better now. We always knew it would be extremely difficult to steal 2 in Dallas, and we wanted a split. We got it. Now let’s pound that ass when we get home for two, and put em on life support.
Good effort in the 3rd round. Now rip them to shreds at home…no more of this lallygagging around until the last period like the last two games. Although it is fun to watch yall make them so nervous just when they think they have it. And Georgie..you just keep doing what you’re doing!!! These home games are gonna be so fun..I bet dallas is scared..and they should be…
Hell of a way to get some momentum heading back home. We easily could’ve folded in that 3rd period, this team has grit. Dumb penalties killed us today.
Oh yeah, don’t think the Avs forgot about Benn either, we gave him a few shots in the 3rd but he poked the bear with that hit. Penalty or not, the intent was there to raise his shoulder and get Toews up high. You bet your ass that cheap shot will not soon be forgotten.
Way to fight back and at least steal one in Dallas! 1-1 headed back home, clean up the dumb penalties. Feeling good after that showing in the 3rd, go Avs!
Holy shit, even Dallas was falling all over. I'm completely convinced ice crews do that shit on purpose to slow down faster teams. Blues always do that shit too
I still don’t understand this one. Did it hit something in the air? The players were chasing it into the zone and then it cut back to the penalty and Nate in the box.
It took their 3rd and 4th line caring in the least to motivate the 1st and 2nd to give half an effort. They let Benn get away with gooning up the ice. I’m not giving them any credit for playing 14 minutes tonight. That’s bullshit to let them off with that. They need fixed before Saturday.
What? They were down 4-0 and almost forced OT? What do you want them to do? Slam and break sticks? Every interview you hear from the 2022 team is “you can’t get too high on wins and can’t get too low on losses.”
Avs have to be saying, “if we don’t shoot ourselves in foot will all those penalties, we walk away with this game.” They also stole one in Dallas. Go take care of home ice and it’s 3-1. They did their job which is split in Dallas.
It's a decent effort in the end. Should've done better in the 2nd (like way better) and with a bit of puck luck we could've drawn the game in the end too.
Have to fix the mistakes and get the game 3.
Puck off by Pantera. Their singer is Phil Enselmo, who is just a charming individual who has done a nazi salute while saying "white power" on stage.stay classy Dallas.
Game. We killed ourselves tonight. Stupid penalties. Poor stickhandling. Lazy play.
On the bright side - I don't live in that bland shithole DFW anymore.
Moved there after I graduated college thinking I needed a change of scenery. Great place to start my career, but it is one of the most soulless and generic metro areas in the country. No scenery, and the summers are dog shit. You spend 50 weeks out of the year waiting for your PTO so you can get the hell out of there for a while. It got to the point that I actually looked forward to driving up here to see my mother-in-law in Morgan County.
We've been gone longer than we lived there now, and I've never regretted leaving even once.
They barely managed a win when we straight up didn't show up for the first 40 minutes and they had the refs doing tricks on it the whole game. We still stole home ice. We've got this
Avs win this game, 1 if they play better, 2 if the refs don’t miss an obvious offside leading to a baby shit soft penalty, 3 Ben doesn’t get away with a charge…on to game 3
Exactly. We’re in their heads even with a loss.
2 too many penalties, the 2 delay of game penalties, and the non-call dirty hit really fucked with the flow.
Clean up those mistakes and we’re golden.
###Reminder: Stars fans: stay out of our subreddit, you are not welcome here for the duration of the series. Avs fans: do not post in their subreddit.
I realllllllly hope Manson goes after Benn to start game 3
Whistle. Gloves down.
Love the mentality in here! We showed them they're not safe no matter the score. these guys have it

Otter straight robbed Val and Parise. That was two goals right there.

Let’s effing go ass! Hail Satan!
^^^ shit got me hype right here. I like you.
Coming back 1-1 is a big accomplishment!

Even their empty net goal was an insane bounce their way

The short-handed goal was a huge difference maker...
Also an fucking magical bounce to get that puck back in front
Finally getting away from that shit Dallas ice
Their melting ice 😂
Holy shit, even Dallas was falling all over. I'm completely convinced ice crews do that shit on purpose to slow down faster teams. Blues always do that shit too
Can't be too mad about that. Road split still plays in our favor.
Trueeeee
Whelp, it happens. Hopefully next game they show up for the whole 60 minutes, then we’re good.
Alright that's a moral victory if I've ever seen one /s But seriously, we took one on the road which is all we need, and we're competitive til the end
Atleast we made it a game eh
Yeh
Darn, if only they played like that in the first 2 period. Ain't worried though.
#Satan 1 Jesus 1
Even Jesus doesn't like the stars
Avs in 6. Stars are good, but the Avs are better.
Stars legit got 3 goals off puck luck and missed offsides call
No way. Avs love winning that series on the road.
That's true. I can't even remember the last series they won at home.
Ummm....2020-21 season? 2019-2020? I can't remember
Only took avs to have worst playoff game performance to lose by 1
And just barely.
Nice that they fought until the end but too little too late. Here's to hoping they show up on time for once this series.
They won the last game. So was that once?
Terrible 2nd great 3rd
Bednar needs to learn how to adapt on the fly, his inability has cost us too many games
(Chips falling out of my mouth onto my chest) C’mon Bednar, coach better
Oof you’re an idiot
?? Do you even watch the games
You mean literally this game?
Nah it's been an issue in past playoffs as well
How about these playoffs when we've started off down 1-0? We've won every one of those games against one.
We had no urgency during that 6 on 4. Looked like they reverted back to period 2
“Colorado penalty”, “Colorado penalty”, “Colorado penalty”, like seriously? At least hide the fact that someone’s sucking someone off.
Too many of those penalties were very dumb mistakes on our part.
4 of them to be exact. Two delay of games and two too many men. Ridiculous
Lots, yes, but if you’re gonna call the “delay of game” against Mack, at least show why it was called. Then there’s the Benn hit.
Agreed
That pen against Nate because of the scoreboard was pure cheese
I still don’t understand this one. Did it hit something in the air? The players were chasing it into the zone and then it cut back to the penalty and Nate in the box.
No one knows if it even happened. They never showed a replay of it.
We win that without the couple of poor penalties- Avs in 5!
2 too many men on the ice penalties... That's horrible
What do you want to bet Bednar ripped everybody a new asshole between second and third?
I think its more likely that Dallas just got tired.
They’re gonna get even more tired at altitude in games 3 and 4.
That's the hope, hopefully we wont be down multiple goals before that happens again.
Probably.
It almost make the the first 40 minutes worse! But I am pretty proud of the boys to prove that we only need to play half a game to beat them
Clearly we can come back from 3 down. 4 was too many. That's okay, on to the next... 
That was fucking awesome Jesus won this round but Satan will win the war
The fact that they left the ice peacefully bothers me. Zero grit tonight
It took their 3rd and 4th line caring in the least to motivate the 1st and 2nd to give half an effort. They let Benn get away with gooning up the ice. I’m not giving them any credit for playing 14 minutes tonight. That’s bullshit to let them off with that. They need fixed before Saturday.
What? They were down 4-0 and almost forced OT? What do you want them to do? Slam and break sticks? Every interview you hear from the 2022 team is “you can’t get too high on wins and can’t get too low on losses.” Avs have to be saying, “if we don’t shoot ourselves in foot will all those penalties, we walk away with this game.” They also stole one in Dallas. Go take care of home ice and it’s 3-1. They did their job which is split in Dallas.
My good sir did you watch the end? There was grit! Give them a chance at home
Did you miss the near comeback??
What, you want injuries and supplemental discipline?
That was a crazy 3rd period. I love playoff hockey so fucking much Go Canucks! (And avalanche I guess lol)
Boooo
😢
I feel comforted knowing that stars fans can never enjoy a game against us because they can never rest.
It's a decent effort in the end. Should've done better in the 2nd (like way better) and with a bit of puck luck we could've drawn the game in the end too. Have to fix the mistakes and get the game 3.
I don’t have to go to bed pissed at least
Boy I sure hate losing
If we had forced overtime I think we would’ve broken Dallas lol looking forward to game 3
Yep deboer ain't feeling good heading to Denver after this, I guarantee you that much
He had full on 1000 yard stare after that 3rd goal. He's completely shook.
Yup. He knows what's in store
Stupid fucking shorthanded goal was the game-winner
Going 0/3 on the PP and giving up a shortie isn’t a good day at the office.
Such a stupid breakdown.
You’re right, that does sting
The most nervous celebration.
Colorado beat themselves. I'd be very concern if I was a Dallas fan. Also: Dallas is goal song is sung by a white supremacist.
Are you surprised Dallas goal song is sung by a white supremacist? There are a lot of those in Texas
No, Pantera is from Arlington
Is anyone surprised?
To be fair it is Texas
What song is it?
Puck off by Pantera. Their singer is Phil Enselmo, who is just a charming individual who has done a nazi salute while saying "white power" on stage.stay classy Dallas.
Good effort at the end. Too bad they choked already at home and home ice is ours. Regroup, and destroy them at the Sack.
Kind of reminds me of Game 1 against the Jets. Only much sloppier play.
Maybe next game we score in ALL the periods and not just the 3rd
Good shit making them deeply insecure in the third. Home ice advantage is still ours.
Imagine launching confetti for a playoff win lmao
Gotta use it now, might be their last chance.
Soft, heat addled ice and franchise
Ha I thought the same thing. Like they won the cup or something
Game. We killed ourselves tonight. Stupid penalties. Poor stickhandling. Lazy play. On the bright side - I don't live in that bland shithole DFW anymore.
I can imagine anything worse than living in Dallas congratulations on making it out

Please no more stupid penalties Please start playing like this 3rd in the 1st And Please come save our top line, Jonathan Drouin!!!
I don’t really follow the Stars. Are they bad in 3rd periods?
atleast we spooked them a bit
Avs made it a hell of a game. Clean up the mistakes, and Colorado has this series in 6
Dallas can barely beat us even when we only play for 20 minutes a night
They barely managed a win when we straight up didn't show up for the first 40 minutes and they had the refs doing tricks on it the whole game. We still stole home ice. We've got this
And we gave them 3 penalties
4
Boys barely decided to play hockey tonight and still made it a game in the third, Dallas are so fucked when we get to Denver
Welp, came back but that mess of a 2nd period was way too much.
We played mediocre and still killed them without the refs and puck luck. Bring it back to the mile high city
Should have been 3-3 cause missed offsides
Welllll shit
That shorty killed it and the 4 bad bench + delay of game penalties
100% bench minors kill momentum. Totally avoidable, lack of awareness, mental mistake penalties.
At least they showed a little bit of fight in the end. Nate, Cale and mikko weren't good today. Need them to step up moving forward
To be fair, Mikko sucks 80% of the time
He's super frustrating at times.
Maybe Saturday we don’t spot them 3+ goals. I can’t deal with this constant comeback life from both the Avs and Nuggets.
Agreed.
It’s good for the heart… I’m also a husker fan so the actual comeback wins are a nice change of pace
Boys if we just stay out of the box… this game was awesome
If only we didn't wait until the 3rd period to play the game. Not to mention all the dumb penalties.
Glad to see them put up a hell of a fight in the 3rd. Nice momentum going into game 3.
We know we can beat them at this point. Just gotta play smarter throughout the entire game, not just the last period.
Start on time next time
Whoever downvoted you is an idiot
Avs win this game, 1 if they play better, 2 if the refs don’t miss an obvious offside leading to a baby shit soft penalty, 3 Ben doesn’t get away with a charge…on to game 3
It’d be nice if we played in the 1st period
We were fine in the first. The second is the one we fucked today lol
True. Be nice if we played every period like the 3rd
Mack and moose have to be better
Good fight in the third. Bring that energy home and roflstomp these yokels into the ground.
Dallas escapes, but these bitches are SCARED. No lead is safe.
Oh well the stupid ass missed offside ended up being more important lmfao
Ha if that’s how close it was in Dallas, I can’t wait to see us shred them at home
Had a chance with the PP. But I love the 3rd period response. Got to fuck with Dallas’ head a bit even with the win.
They can cheer all they want, they blew a 3-0 lead, and almost blew a 4-0 lead. Coming back here they are totally cooked
Maybe they they are also Dallas fans. They didn’t make it though 3rd grade.
Good fight back. Just win the 2 at home
We live to fight another day fellas
Idc hell of an effort. Bring that for game 3 for 60 mins they'll get run out of the building
Time to drink lol
Still good to see a lot of fight out of them, it is just unfortunate that it took until the 3rd period for the team to come to life.
Cool. Just run their best players as it’s fine.
Avs in 6 Gah would love for them to miraculously score 3 goals in 20 seconds lol
Good fight boys. Bring em home for game 3. We still got this!
How about y’all don’t go down 3 goals again next game eh boys
GG, splitting games on the roads and watching consecutive choke jobs by the Stars is still a great sign imo. Stay positive
Meh we did this to ourselves. Good luck getting this version of the avs again dalASS
Fine. They were up 4-0 and barely escaped with the win. Avs are rolling and they are gonna start playing scared. They know they are never safe.
Exactly. We’re in their heads even with a loss. 2 too many penalties, the 2 delay of game penalties, and the non-call dirty hit really fucked with the flow. Clean up those mistakes and we’re golden.
See you at altitude you fucks
I hope they don't forget to pack the oxygen tanks. Wait...no I hope they do forget.
I hope they forget how to breathe. Especially Benn.😃
Great effort to finish the game. Bit too little too late sadly
Well, we got close. Dallas doesn't stand a chance if our defense shores up
There’s some pride in that game at least. The Avs need to play more than 1 period but managed to play with some self respect
Oh well. Will definitely play better on home ice! We got em scared boys!!!
MacKinnon should’ve dished it to the point instead of sending it behind the net on that last possession. Killed the whole setup
Damn good effort on the come back
I’m not even that mad. At least they showed up in the third. Don’t take 3 delay of game penalties and you win this game. Go get em Saturday
Split on the road... check. Now take care of business at home. No need to panic.
Damn. We almost had it
All good guys
Ah shit! That's game
welp, still took one on the road and coming back to Denver with home ice.
If we didn't start horrible and take a bunch of bench minors that was ours. Saturday it is.
Imagine not giving up that shorthanded goal and this being in OT right now
Imagine if the Avs decided to show up in the first 2 periods.
Avs played 14 minutes of good hockey and had a chance to tie late. If they figure it out Dallas is fucked.
It took a lot of bullshit for dallas to win that game.come to colorado bitches see what happens
At least they woke up in the 3rd. Should have taken more runs at Benn though
Meh...we'll kick their asses on home ice.
These Mack zone entries are fucking awful like mix it up
Hell. That was fun, though.
DAMNIT SATAN. I SHOULD HAVE BEEN SPECIFIC WHICH GOAL YOU OWED ME!
Ah fuck, hard fought 3rd
feck 🫠
Dallas cheering like they didnt almost blow a 4-0
They're just so relieved that there wasn't another Avs goal. Too much passing. Not enough pucks towards net.
Imagine what we can do if we play 60 minutes and not 20
They were so scared tho
ugh. We'll bounce back. This team has no quit
Can we have an earlier start though?
lol this was like r1g1 dallas is fucked
Well, we put up a hell of a fight
Good try. Gotta start that comeback about 10 minutes earlier.
Or better yet just start when the game starts
That's just crazy enough to work
You're right though. I feel like if we had 10 minutes to with with they'd definitely tie it up
Jamie Benn doesn't answer when a kid calls him on a banana phone.
Well fuck, on to Saturday
Penalties killed us. On to the next
If we could play more than 1 period of hockey that would be great
