Wish I thought the same, I really do. At this point, just frustrated. Kuemper was just poop tonight, again where is Rants? This team and goalies letting in goals that just break any momentum...

All they had to do was block shots and chip it out. They decided to stand the (frank) around and watch DK try to win the game for them. That's on Bednar. He has to crack some heads and make them sit there and watch tape of the Lightning for the past 2+ years. Watch them play the game in the playoffs. It isn't just stand there or skate around like a lost dog. They have it in them. They are going to figure out how to get in lanes, block shots, chip it out in to the neutral, whatever the hell they have to do. I just can't believe they are going to piss this away. Not again.

I get it is not all on Kuemper, but that Bozak goal, ugh...

Anyways, gonna go do something to chill out after that and try not to be grumpy for the rest of the night. I guess see you Friday, least it is earlier also

Well you're right, I don't care how good the shots are, you give up 5 in an elimination game when your best player puts the team on his back and wills you to a lead with 2 minutes, you poop the bed, that's on you. I don't know. I was just on top of the world until that fourth goal by St. Louis and even then I refused to believe we could lose this.

Yeah man I'm gonna go try and get in a good mood again before my wife gets home, she probably saw the score and she's like, aw crap. See you Friday, we're gonna win this. And neither Calgary or Edmonton is going to stop them. You know it, I know it. Good night.

20 minutes left in St. Louis' season. Who is gonna be a big (frank)ing baby about shaking Naz's hand?

A few years ago, I opened a 20 year old bottle of whisky. It wasn’t as good as a 4 year old one.

In all seriousness though, is the best that you can do is just to live vicariously through other teams? I mean let's lay in on the table here and be honest: your team is dogpoop. You have one player capable of doing anything, and you know that you're stuck in cap hell from now on. So that's it, right? It feels good when other people fail because you know your team can't succeed. I mean you do understand how pathetic that is, correct?

You sound mad. You’re spinning. It has nothing to do with your team or my team. You called the Blues babies because you alleged that they weren’t good enough sports to shake Kadri’s hand when they lost. They didn’t lose. You’re the one that failed with that premature prediction that clowned yourself. Pretty thin skin Moose.

Hey, gotta give credit where it's due man. I opened my mouth way too early. Should have kept it shut. But you know damn well Hock that you're only here to grave dance. And you're only here to grave dance because your team wasn't good enough. Maybe the Blues win 3 straight and embarrass all of us Avalanche fans. Maybe they don't. Then what? You're going to root for whomever plays the against the Avalanche because you hate this team, and whomever they play is the good guy, Edmonton or Calgary. If they win and they play one of those teams, and one of those teams beats Colorado, hey, to you it's as good as Minnesota getting past the first round. And we both know that's pretty damn sad.

It’s not a grave dance. I don’t have any skin in. I don’t hate the Avs and I’m good with whoever wins. Just don’t care. Didn’t get a rush seeing the Avs lose. The whisky comment was just needling YOU for your comment. We all say dumb stuff on HB sometimes. Just a little fun. Sorry you took it that way. Have a good night Moose.

I have watched most games since they moved to Colorado in 96. Over the past ten years, I've barely missed one. This was an absolute soul crushing defeat. MacKinnon wants to get past this round more than anyone, and he showed it. Need a short memory. I just can't believe what I watched

Just don't man. We play in St. Louis on Friday and God forbid we play again and it's in Denver. Do you really believe we are going to lose both games? Yeah, it's crushing me too. I was on top of the world at 3-1 and 4-3, now I am at my lowest. But that's how this goes. This is supposed to be how teams learn and grow. You'll know if this team is ready for the WCF or for the SCF by how they respond. Remember back to game 3 when they took a 1 goal lead in to the third period and they played the right way, the way they should have played tonight.

I'm just going to choose to be positive, I don't care what anyone else says. Nate wants it. That is infectious. Cale is going to score, he's going to blow things open because he's playing well and that dam can't hold forever. I'm gonna show what a boomer and a sap I am and say that like the song goes, "you got to lose to know how to win," this team has lost and it is going to learn how to win.

Twenty years ago the Avs were losing a series 3-2 and I took a walk one afternoon. Just listened to my home made playoff music and one afternoon out by the woods it just dawned on me... they are going to win game six. It's going to be fine. They won that game six and then they won game 7 for the Stanley Cup. Everyone can be mad at me for jinxing us, the Wild fans can come in here and laugh at us, I don't care. I say we win game six. I say we win the WCF. I just can't sit here and prop up the bad.

We've clearly seen a lot of the same games. This one just stung a little more in the moment. Gotta stay positive! I still believe this is one of the best teams ever put together (in salary cap, maybe the best) so I can't complain, win or lose. Winning on a Friday would be nice as well

Game 6 tonight, gonna be a long day I think

Let's Go Avs!

I'm ready!

I'm ready!

So Burky is back in the lineup tonight. What do you think, savior of the series? Couple goals, couple assists, wizard up and down the ice? I'm gonna go with he plays 8-9 minutes and is completely unnoticeable.

I mean, if going by history, he does have a knack for series ending goals. He was pretty unnoticeable before, does the healthy scratch give him reason to try? Part of me wants to believe it will, but I just have a bad feeling about tonight and I will happily eat crow if the Avs pull through

For sure, she's been my favorite. She had a lot more fun chemistry with the boys than the girls they have now.

I like the top two lines but I feel like you're going to have to get more quality linemates for Burakovsky too. If he's going to play with JTC then it might not matter whether he's in or out I think.

Game time! Rants DO YOUR (frank)ING JOB! Also Go Avs!

Yup, this team is gonna lose in the 2nd round again, time for changes to the core in the off season

It's time for Bednar to go.

These (frank)ing idiots are desperate to give this game to St. Louis. It's like they are all in competition and the only thing they are fighting for is who can be the worst on the ice. Kuemper is out of his lunatic mind. Jack Johnson is dog poop, just as advertised, top line is back to being invisible. Whatever. You can't female dog and moan about not getting out of the second round if you aren't willing to put in the effort to do it.
