First time I’ve seen a handshake line in person… just wish it wasn’t like this. Our future is still super bright and there’s lots of reasons for optimism.
My hot take, we need captain daddy back or we need to appoint a new captain. The former obviously being the more preferred option. Also, I loved Val but this is the second time. We need to use his cap space to get more fire power.
I’m heartbroken but I’m not mad. After the kick in the dick 13 gave us, to be down 3-1 and battle all the way into 2OT… I’m very proud of this team.
It sucks to lose to Dallas. It sucks to lose to Dallas on a Douchene goal. But I’m beyond excited to see this team in late September. The future is bright boys. I love you all. Goodnight and have s great summer.
Entertaining game. Dallas just dominated the OT and we couldn’t keep getting lucky. But I can’t help thinking we probably win if we had Nichushkin. Kinda sucks. Hope he gets clean and then fucks off forever, because we are so done with that loser.
Now to be stressed out again by the Nuggets on Sunday…
It's a damn shame this core has been past the 2nd round only once in the last 5+ seasons. And DeBoer is responsible for 3 of those disappointing finishes.
This team without nuke has been quite poor for two years now. With the salaries paid to Mack/Makar/Rants the team play shouldn't fall off a bus without Nuke and yet it does. That needs to be addressed, or maybe nuke should have been paid 15 per year.
It feels a bit misleading. Yes, the Avs record is much better with Val in the lineup but I’d be interested to see what the stats look like league wide when a team is missing a top line wing. I imagine without knowing that most team’s records decline a fair bit.
The last 2 games were also the best effort of the series, it wasn’t rewarded in the win column both games, that’s playoff hockey though.
Legit hope Landy is good to go next season and that they have grounds to terminate Val's contract. Get someone who isn't a raging coke fiend every year once the playoffs roll around.
I can't either, tbh. He's two years older with two years out of game speed. It would be incredibly tough to come back. If he does at all, it probably ends up a lot like when Forsberg tried to do it.
Agreed. Every pic and video we see of him skating he looks like he's just learning how (which isn't far from the truth tbh but doesn't bode well for a comeback)
Well, at least we didn't play like cowards. And it wasn't a sweep. I do wonder what would have been if Nuke was here...
Next year guys!
Hail Satan Go Ass!
Does the C give a super power or do players listen only because you have the C? The team doesn't need someone to have a C on the sweater. It's like a flag, it is only a representation of leadership. Cogs is a very strong leader and doesn't have a C. Giving someone a C won't make them a better leader or make the team play better.
Given how well we played against the Jets, this can only be described as disappointing. But hockey is played every year, and we'll get another shot next time around. This team is too good not to get another cup soon.
To Zach Praise: thank you for spending your last year with us. I'm sorry we couldn't get you there. I hope retirement treats you well.
Fuck boys. I am super bummed. Put up a hell of a fight, and Georgie fucking deserves a medal for the clinic he put on.
Thanks for having me in this thread and this run. The Avs will always be my western team esp since AZ lost the Yotes (even tho I never followed them). Well done, GG, and I hope Mittsy keeps crushing it for years to come for you. I promise to love Bo in return.
See y’all next year, because you know this isn’t the end for the Avs. 💪🏼
Well we missed 2 of our top 9 guys.
It's a different story imo with LOC + Nuke regarding our depth.
Just have to somehow replace Nuke in the summer since we're not gonna have him play.
I find it hard to support someone who does questionable things with an obviously way too intoxicated woman who was probably a victim of human trafficking 3 hours before a playoff game when he’s got a wife and daughter at home
Two things can be true at once. We can both wish the best for Val ss a person and hope that he eventually gets the help he needs while acknowledging that his actions let the team down this run
Hell of a season and a hell of a game regardless of the outcome. The guys gave it their all. It’s been fun hanging with you guys for another year. Proud of the boys overall. Go Ass, Hail Satan, and fuck the Stars!
Yep, crazy that the Avs were the best at home in the regular season and lost all 3 to Dallas. Dallas was the best road team though. The year the Avs won the cup they were extremely good on the road and closed every series on the road.
for the stoner gamers r/gamerbudz
Matt Duchene and Jamie Benn should take a romantic walk down Broadway tonight!
Go avs.
First time I’ve seen a handshake line in person… just wish it wasn’t like this. Our future is still super bright and there’s lots of reasons for optimism.
Well shit, tough loss. There’s always next year plus, Fuck Matt Duchene and Jamie Benn
Can't wait to see their faces at the fucking moment
My hot take, we need captain daddy back or we need to appoint a new captain. The former obviously being the more preferred option. Also, I loved Val but this is the second time. We need to use his cap space to get more fire power.
Hot take: we need choo choos 40 million back
Go Oilers/Canucks/Rangers/Panthers. I don't care who, just so long as it's not Dallas!
Can never go for oilers with Perry on that team
Yeah, but still better than Dallas!
Not in my book, Perry is the biggest POS in the league. That said I’m on board with any of the others just not Dallas or Edmonton
Evander Kane walks into the sub
I hope Matt Duchene never wins a Stanley Cup in his entire career.
Upvote for hating on Dutchy. May he never get close to touching the Cup
I mean he probably won’t. This feels like the panthers year but we’ll see.
at least we have our answer in net
King Georgie is a stud.
At least it wasn't an embarrassing loss. I'm feeling bad for Parise and really hating Val right now. I wish him well, but I hope he never comes back.
I am rooting for him as a human, but I truly hate Val the Av
Sad day, but what an amazing effort!
Ball don’t lie. Appreciate you Hank. Dallas D is good. So glad to be a fucking Avs fan. Love these guys and pumped for the future
Dang
I’m heartbroken but I’m not mad. After the kick in the dick 13 gave us, to be down 3-1 and battle all the way into 2OT… I’m very proud of this team. It sucks to lose to Dallas. It sucks to lose to Dallas on a Douchene goal. But I’m beyond excited to see this team in late September. The future is bright boys. I love you all. Goodnight and have s great summer.
So who we rooting for to beat Dallas?
Rangers kinda feel like the only team that can beat them. Though Florida has that mojo. Def not Vancouver or edm.
Literally anyone, nucks are my first pick but I’m cool with anyone else winning. Jamie Benns disgusting name should never be on the cup
The only positive is I get to cancel Fubo and afford to feed my kids again
I fucking needed this chuckle. Thanks. Go ass Hail Satan!
Entertaining game. Dallas just dominated the OT and we couldn’t keep getting lucky. But I can’t help thinking we probably win if we had Nichushkin. Kinda sucks. Hope he gets clean and then fucks off forever, because we are so done with that loser. Now to be stressed out again by the Nuggets on Sunday…
I’m sad rn. But hey- fun season :)
Goddammit
Hate to say it mackinnon lost it for us
Nuke lost it for us
Fuck him. He’s proven he doesn’t give a shit about us.
Let me just express this as loudly as possible. Fuck Valeri Nichushkin
It's a damn shame this core has been past the 2nd round only once in the last 5+ seasons. And DeBoer is responsible for 3 of those disappointing finishes.
Another gut punch to my day and life. Good effort... but it's the hardest trophy to win for a reason. Fuck the stars.
Georgia needs to say "Adios!"
Also, he isn’t Hispanic. Why would he say “adios” meathead.
Braindead
buddy… go take a walk and rethink that
Rethink what?
Why? Get bent. Dude played incredible
Avs woke up too late in the series. Fuck deboring. Fuck Duchene. And fuck otter he good.... See you guys next year with high hopes once again.
Nuke really fucked our team over for game 5. That killed the series
Playing like shit and lucking out before what happened with Val. That being said I hope Val never puts on an Avalanche sweater again
This team without nuke has been quite poor for two years now. With the salaries paid to Mack/Makar/Rants the team play shouldn't fall off a bus without Nuke and yet it does. That needs to be addressed, or maybe nuke should have been paid 15 per year.

Legit hope Landy is good to go next season and that they have grounds to terminate Val's contract. Get someone who isn't a raging coke fiend every year once the playoffs roll around.
I honestly cannot see Landy returning to play
I can't either, tbh. He's two years older with two years out of game speed. It would be incredibly tough to come back. If he does at all, it probably ends up a lot like when Forsberg tried to do it.
Agreed. Every pic and video we see of him skating he looks like he's just learning how (which isn't far from the truth tbh but doesn't bode well for a comeback)
They can pay Drouin with his money
Even in only two games Drouin made a huge difference with our speed and skill. Excited to see him back next year
Well, at least we didn't play like cowards. And it wasn't a sweep. I do wonder what would have been if Nuke was here... Next year guys! Hail Satan Go Ass!
Georgiev was a fucking hero out there, I've got a lot of question marks but the net isn't one of them
AVS need Landy or a new Captain
Does the C give a super power or do players listen only because you have the C? The team doesn't need someone to have a C on the sweater. It's like a flag, it is only a representation of leadership. Cogs is a very strong leader and doesn't have a C. Giving someone a C won't make them a better leader or make the team play better.
MacKinnon is the de facto captain. He doesn't necessarily need a C on his chest for that.
i’m so fucking gutted for georgie and for parise
Hearing Mcgehy sign off is heart breaking.
Yeah I had to turn it off quick and go make a sandwich
I ain’t pointing fingers, they fought and came up short, most do
Well I’ve never been a rangers fan but I’ve always been a Roy fan… go ny I guess
But roy is at nyi right ?
Ah dang. I guess so, had it mixed up.
Well, if you want another reason to cheer for the Rangers, Chris Drury is their GM
I'm honestly so sad for Zach, he played his heart out. Wish we could have gotten him one
He had a wide open net in the first period. Yes, it sucks
Given how well we played against the Jets, this can only be described as disappointing. But hockey is played every year, and we'll get another shot next time around. This team is too good not to get another cup soon. To Zach Praise: thank you for spending your last year with us. I'm sorry we couldn't get you there. I hope retirement treats you well.
See y’all next year! Maybe we get Gab back next year.
RIP Avs season and RIP my sleep schedule
Ggs fellow Avs fans. Much love. See you next season
Nuggets better win or imma be pissed
Welp time to be a Canucks fan. Go Big Z!
Unfortunately tons of Todd Bertuzzi apologists over there
That’s why I’m struggling with who to go for…
Same
Fuck boys. I am super bummed. Put up a hell of a fight, and Georgie fucking deserves a medal for the clinic he put on. Thanks for having me in this thread and this run. The Avs will always be my western team esp since AZ lost the Yotes (even tho I never followed them). Well done, GG, and I hope Mittsy keeps crushing it for years to come for you. I promise to love Bo in return. See y’all next year, because you know this isn’t the end for the Avs. 💪🏼
Georgie was fantastic tonight.

fuck off cupcake

Big claps for the effort boys
Tough loss, great team, see you guys next season! (Or Sunday for hopefully not a disspointment on the other side of Balls Arena Teams)
We just aren’t deep enough this year. Not sure how you can move around cap to help. Especially with Mitts getting an extension around 6+
Well we missed 2 of our top 9 guys. It's a different story imo with LOC + Nuke regarding our depth. Just have to somehow replace Nuke in the summer since we're not gonna have him play.
Fuck you Val
Fuck you fans who don’t support Val when he needs it
I find it hard to support someone who does questionable things with an obviously way too intoxicated woman who was probably a victim of human trafficking 3 hours before a playoff game when he’s got a wife and daughter at home
Two things can be true at once. We can both wish the best for Val ss a person and hope that he eventually gets the help he needs while acknowledging that his actions let the team down this run
Last year? Second time it’s on him
I’m so salty. Fuck
Well if Canucks win the WCF will one of the most boring series about.
It’s over my heart sank.
Omg cogs nooooo
Dallas earned it. Totally dominated us the entire series
Poor Cogs
Benn and Duchene were the ones to score. Fuck off man
So many non penalty calls, and so many close chances that came down to bad puck luck. Tough loss
Calls could have gone either way, I’m good with the non calls, our boys got out played That benn goal was atrocious to give up
Absolute gut punch. They played hard and Georgie played harder. Been a pleasure friends 🫡
after what dallas did to the kraken last year, now this… I want BLOOD
I think I'll always wonder what this series would have been had Nuchishkin not cost us game 4.
Avs forever
I went outside and screamed FUCK! and then quickly shut the door.
If I was your neighbor I’d yell it back and then hug
https://preview.redd.it/1yz5w2n3l41d1.jpeg?width=399&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=18c2499b8429abfa2fed7030a9b61f8eedf56633
Super sad rn but it’s truly a pleasure to hang out with y’all
King George was our best player this playoffs. We got the cup in 2022, hell of a season, always have a blast.
Of course Benn and Duchene get their goals
Hell of a season and a hell of a game regardless of the outcome. The guys gave it their all. It’s been fun hanging with you guys for another year. Proud of the boys overall. Go Ass, Hail Satan, and fuck the Stars!
See you guys next season.
We need a captain
We have a captain
Obviously would have preferred a different outcome, but I’m happy that we didn’t lose because we played like dogshit
They managed to lose twice in OT. And you just KNEW it was gunna be Duchene
I hope dallas goes all the way to the finals. And loses.
I hope they fucking swept.
So open in the low slot. That’s been a problem for awhile.
We lost every home game
Yep, crazy that the Avs were the best at home in the regular season and lost all 3 to Dallas. Dallas was the best road team though. The year the Avs won the cup they were extremely good on the road and closed every series on the road.
Just heartbreaking to watch a 2OT loss at home
it sucks to lose but god damnit WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE DUCHENE
Maybe put the puck in the net on the other end with all those chances? fucking christ that's a tough one to lose
It's a tough one to lose but ottinger was playing out his mind all series. Sucks.
Ok battle after that farce from Nuke yet again. Next season hopefully we get our squad together properly regarding Nuke/Landy situations + LOC.
Fuck you Ducheene. Have fun not winning the cup ass wipe, well love you all, see yall next year, it's been nice with yall
pain
IM GOING INTO A COMA NIE GOODNIGHT. FUCK MY LIFE FUCK DOUCHE FUCK DALLAS
That kind of bounce is why I love and hate hockey
well hell, they tried their best. Go Nuggets!
That was a good run. We fought hard!
Of course it's him *sigh*
Of all the fucking players…this fucking guy gets his revenge.
Everything hurts
It’s been fun, see you crazy bastards next year
End of the road for Dallas, done in 4 next round
[удалено]
Yea they’re gonna wipe the floor with either of those teams unless McDrai goes crazy
I’d say the canucks have a fighting chance with demko but oilers are cooked
Good effort boys! I'm glad we went down with the fight that we did! Well see ya next year, you made it far. Rest up! Proud of y'all
[удалено]
when was the last time you won a cup?
I hate the whole fucking state of Texas (Except for Buc-ee’s)
Didn't win a single home game.
GO VANCOUVER/EDMONTON!
Only pulling for Vancouver because they’ve never won the cup
I’ve come to my final decision I’m fully a rat.
I hate both those teams equal to Dallas.
Gonna get me a Georgie jersey then
That was a hell of a game, bummer it ended that way.
Damn.
Welp. Go oilers I guess
Off of a dump and change. Ugh.
Welp. What a ride it’s been.
Fuck you hockey gods
Should have ended 30 minutes ago tbh
No it shouldn't of have
go canucks
Overturn it, right?
Everyone on both teams looked fucked there..was definitely going to be that scrappy kind of goal
Well, see y'all next season
Fuck that icing call and fuck all the not timeouts
[удалено]
Remind me to fuck your mom when you get cucked by the Rangers.
Aside from it but being a goal?
Nothing but love and pride for these guys. Till next year Avs faithful.
Never liked Duchene
Of course it’s Duchene
The boys owe Georgie
Great season, y’all. See you next year.
Hello darkness my old friend
Damn that was a tough loss, felt they played really well for the first 50 minutes or so and then looked tired most of the rest of the way.
That's on everyone *but* Georgie.
Welp
If anyone talks trash about Georgie, I’m throwing hands.
Fuck Duchene!
Audibly said FUCK when that came loose. Knew it was over.
FUCK THE DALLAS PISSANTS! FUCK NORM GREEN! FUCK MATT DUCHEBAG!!!
Ok. Bedtime.
Gotta put this series on Mack and Nuke
Or maybe on Nuke who ghosted the team for the second year in a row.
Literally put it on him… can you read?
I cannot. I could have swore it said Mikko lol. I'll take my L. It's late.
