Kelly can win faceoffs consistently. Put him on PP1 to set up the PP. He's a solid enough player that not much will be lost. Cycle PP1 and PP2 every 30 seconds. Don't leave PP1 out there for 2 full minutes. Switch out PP1 with PP2 piecemeal.

Trade Georgiev to Edmonton PLEASE lol

love these crossovers!

why would the sharks play there young goalie , whatta they trying to develop him or somthing lol

shesterkins gotta feel good gms trading away the whole team lmao

being 14th in the nhl dont meant nothing if we fall to 9th in west we miss the playoffs ,see it first year of the wild card crap started

Mix up the zone entries instead of the same 2 every single time. Start in an overload and move into the umbrella. And for the love of God, show some desperation when you lose the puck. There should always be two men on the puck if not in possession

pp went from dangerous in a good way to dangerous in a bad way costing us games :(

Think they need another trade. Someone who can win the faceoff circle to

Chris I was thinking the same thing about putting the high-energy guys out first getting some chaos going then throw out your skill guys. Kind of like the rolling 40s line from last year with Wood, Colton and Loc. I miss our high-energy (wood, coldton, Loc) line and I miss the heart of Cogs in the PK.

The Avs have fallen in love with their setup when they should just simplify things by putting pucks to the net. Park Val and Lehky in front, and get the big 3 to take shots. It's not rocket science.

Definitely change it. Reduce pp1 time. It's abysmal. One of the only teams that struggle to even score on a 5 in 3 this season.

Coaching might be the problem here. The way the Avs conduct a PP hasn't changed for the last 3-4 years. It has become too predictable. Losing the opening face(MacKinnon) wastes time. The drop pass to MacKinnon has become easier to defend. Case in point, his beautiful assist on the Sherwood goal the other night. Too much passing, Too little movement, no creativity. Simply put, predictable. Changing skaters on the PP won't make any difference if the method remains the same.

The power play is so predictable that it doesn't matter how skilled they are, opponents have watched their tape and can anticipate their every move. Hockey is a sport of chaos and unexpected bounces and split second mistakes that lead to goals, and the Avs just refuse to incorporate that element into their PP. Chris is right, just give some new looks and make the other team scramble around a little bit more.

Said it everywhere and multiple times, the Powerplay is actively losing games. Edited to add, if the Avs change up the personnel on the PP on a flow type method............in classic current Avs Style..............they are taking a "Too Many Men" Penalty. Let's not even kid ourselves🤦‍♂️🤮

Why don’t they shoot the puck? They pass way to much. Casey looks scared out there. When you shoot you get rebounds.

Die hard Sharks fan here.. I love the trade. I think it’s a good trade for both teams. You guys are going to like Blackwood. Dude faced north of 35-40 shots on a nightly basis, and as you can see by his save percentage, he’s freakin good under fire. On a torn-down rebuilding Sharks team that’s weakest point right now is our defense, Blackwood was a huge reason we were able to get any of the wins we have this season. I think he’ll prove himself a really solid starter for you guys this year, and I can see you resigning him to be your starter for the years to come. Also, I’m intrigued by how upset some Avs fans are about losing Kovalenko in the trade. He’s already playing well for us in his first few games with us. Im excited to see him progress, as it looks like he has some potential to be a solid middle-6 player for us. It’s early, but it looks like he might fit nicely in to our future with our young core. (Btw.. Givani Smith is kind of a nobody.. no offense to him. He never even really made the Sharks regular roster. He’s basically a pure enforcer. Lot of penalty minutes, that’s his game. He’s there to protect his team’s top players. So, wouldn’t get your hopes up about any potential coming from him.. just fyi)

I’m throwing it out there. Coaching change, for real. It’s time

The power play is too finesse and fragile. They need to switch to a more rugged style of chaos, with traffic in front of the goalie to maximize rebounds, deflections, lucky bounces, inadvertent picks, interferences, and blockages. The skill level of the Avalanche actually prevents them from playing this grittier, more effective style. I think the coaches must be thinking that with some of the most skilled players in the league that they have to design a power play around high-level skating, passing, etc.

They are just getting beat with every puck battle and fight in the corner. They need to change up the roster a little bit more to be a challenging team this season

I hate to say this, but it doesn't seem like this team is really playing for each other at times.. like they don't have each other's backs. In the past, if someone laid a big hit on MacK, they'd at least get a hard stare down if not a challenge from Landy or MacDermid. The Avs don't respond well to teams roughing them up. They actually do pretty well when they play with a little grit and swagger and we haven't seen grit since the Cup winning team. From Kadri to Manson, Helm and Cogs and even MacDermid when he saw time. We didn't get pushed around as much and we could actually lay a hit. Manson hasn't laid a decent hit this season from what I saw. Cale sure as hell doesn't do it anymore even though he's capable. Obviously that's not everything, but it's what teams are doing to us to throw us off of our rhythm and we're not able to recover with this current team. We lost a little fire when we let Kadri walk and we lost grit and determination when Cogs and Helm retired. Landy never backed down, but he may not ever hit the ice again at this point.

They're not wrong. The NHL doesn't fear the Avs. They fear Nathan Mackinnon and Cale Makar. That's about it. Not the same team as 21-22...not even close. Too one sided, small and soft. Regular season team at best, I bet they don't have enough snarl to get far in playoffs though.

Kyle did a great job keeping the show rolling but it is awesome to have Chris back!!

❤️💙👋🏒

These will be popular, the shorts videos that is. Nice!

Do you think we have a chance to win the cup?

Told ya Chris

Had a similar experience in the Star Wars Cantina at Disney World in 2022. My wife and daughter and I shared a table with a nice (we thought) family from St. Louis. I was wearing my "Stanley Cup Champions" hat. I asked if they were Blues fans. The dad acted pissy and asked if I was proud rooting for a dirty team that crippled their goalie. It was not a comfortable hour.

You’re welcome - Sharks Fan 😂

Ok, am I the only person that thinks Blackwood looks and sounds a little like Patrick Roy, he just resembles him guys, watch the interview, anyone? Also Chris its nice to have you back, of the ltir lol

Mr. Von Doom did an admirable job while you were out Chris...but its great to have the band back together. Keep up the good work fellas.

I have a similar story with a Red Wings fan.... When I was living in Kansas City Metro, a friend of mine was having an open house at the martial arts studio where he was training. He invited me and my family and we went to check it out. As we are walking in and being introduced to the owner, the owner of this martial arts place pointed to my shirt and said it'll be the last time I'm allowed to wear this shirt or any like it to his studio or I'll be tossed out. I looked down and realized I happened to be wearing an Avs polo. I looked at him in disbelief and without missing a beat, he said that he personally knows Darren McCarty as he is his best friend...no Avs gear in his martial arts studio.

Blackwood needs to be Log. What rolls down stairs, alone or in pairs, rolls over your neighbor's dog? Fits on your back, great for a snack? Its Log, Log, Log! Its Log, its Log, its big, its heavy, its wood! Its Log, its Log, its better than bad: its good!

Welcome back Chris! I feel like We are buzzing right now, even with the virus going through the team. Hopefully everybody is healthy and past all that. If so, I feel like tonight could be a really good game for us!

Heard Vancouver had the flu bug. Hoping our guys are doing better too! Go AVS Go!

I was a little upset about the moves when it first happened (Im still not sure its cup level tending and we got older loosing Juice) but yeah, they both look more calm in net. Im not holding my breath a puck from the dots is gonna flutter in.

After just 1 game it way, way too early to judge Blackwood. Let’s see when facing the top teams. In that game, the defense did not such a good job as Blackwood got too many shots on goal.

Point taken on Georgiev. Mac Blackwood is fleet-footed. Thus, soundcheck: Fleetwood Mac / Hypnotized

Cant wait to see Blackwood's new helmet come in 💪

The socioeconomic status of Americans can be gauged by Disney World trips: those who have gone once, those who go every few years, and those with season passes 😁 I really wanted Georgie to succeed, and I hope he does better with a change of scenery. When he was on, he was great. He could probably have an outstanding career in the AHL. But it's eye-opening to see what a difference a bigger man in the net really makes. Blackwood is good at tracking and moving, but he also just has that advantage of physically filling the available shot space. This is exactly what the Avs need: someone who's pretty good, calm under pressure, reliably makes the saves he's supposed to make. I also get the feeling from what players have said - tactfully, nothing really overt, just a vibe - that Georgie simply wasn't a great personality fit.

Saw the highlights. Wow!

Hey, I know I give you guys a hard time on here but great job running Han Solo, Kyle. Welcome back, Chris. The Team just plays different in front of the Wood Shed💪💪💪

Welcome back, Chris! Hopefully your vacation down here was fun and you enjoyed our (relatively calm and pleasant) weather and that the overlords who currently govern the Mouse didn’t swing you around by your ankles until every dime flew out of your pockets; used to work for the company and they’ve gotten awful of late re: trying to steal every cent from people…more than they did before, and that’s saying something. Surely you noticed, but Mister VonDoom did a fantastic job holding down the fort while you were out and even during an exceptionally crazy week! Hey, welcome home. We have goalies now, woooo!

Welcome back! Loved the first blackwood game...hoping that the team has recovered from the illness and is ready to dismantle the Canucks

blacky was amazing his puck tracking and rebound control and 2nd save off rebounds were just yea amazing

Bring back JT!

There was something in the water Thurs for sure, COL,DAL and MIN didn’t show up. We loved Wedgy in Dallas! His fault was always inching a bit too far out in the crease. But when he’s good, he’s good!

All I heard was "Mackenzie Blackwood" and "Saviour" and "Help me, help you"

mikko will be resigned just before the trade deadline 100%

weggie played good yet again , nothing he could do really on all 3 goals , and it was a little unfair utah was allowed to play with 10ft sticks lol jesus ,and yea i noticed during the midway point of the 2nd boys were just not there gassed for sure wasnt no hustle just kinda rec hockey out there
