PGT | COL @ MIN | Round 2, Game 4: Minnesota RILED

We played a better first period than G3, but Manson's double minor leads to a mid-period goal against.

Boys come out swinging in the second and TOO MANY MEN KADRI scores a PPG, while MIN fails to shoot on goal for over 19 MINutes. Period ends with a bloodied Mack.

Third period... Mack is back. Both teams duke it out, but the tides shift and ROSSCO scores. Significant back and forth results in Quinn Hughe's earning his worth, but Kelly redeems his earlier penalty with a goal to reclaim the lead.

They go empty net thinking it will change things. Instead, Nate Dawg goes streaking and scores his fifth consecutive... then Nelson adds insult to injury.

AVS WIN 5-2 and claim a 3-1 series lead.

Goals:

  1. Nazem Kadri (2) PPG, assisted by M. Necas (7) - 26:08
  2. Ross Colton (1), assisted by N. Roy (2), D. Toews (6) - 46:56
  3. Parker Kelly (1), assisted by J. Drury (2) - 51:32
  4. Nathan MacKinnon (6), assisted by M. Necas 2 (8) - 59:27
  5. Brock Nelson (2), unassisted - 59:52

Blackwood saved 19/21 shots.

Next game: Wednesday, May 13th @ COL @ 6:00PM (MT)

WE ARE SO BACK!!

Bloody nose upvote party

This deserves a special shoutout, I doubt the poor guy could even breathe through his nose the entire 3rd period. Glad we won the game and it wasn’t for nothing.

Need to find this SUPER generous man!

Last night I took my son to game 3. He was born in Colorado and is a die hard Avalanche fan. All the fans (for the most part) were super great to him but I need help finding the man in this picture. My son has Autism and was having a very difficult time processing the game for obvious reasons. This man noticed his Avalanche jersey and was trying to cheer him up throughout the game. At one point he came over and took off his official, autographed, jersey and insisted he take it. I tried to refuse but he was adamant! We thanked him many times and took this picture but I feel like I need to do more. If anyone knows him or how to contact him I would greatly appreciate it. It’s a long shot but hoping maybe him, or someone that knows him, will see this. Thanks!

[Evan Rawal] Mackenzie Blackwood is in the starters net again this morning.

This was from morning skate from Rawal about an hour ago. Certainly looks like Blackwood is the man for Game 5. Makes sense coming off the Game 4 win.

Who gets the nod between the pipes tonight - who would you want to see?

I think Blackwood looked solid in G4 - but when i saw we didnt go back to Wedgy I was a little surprised. I do understand a bit on a rest, but i would hope they go back to him tonight so he doesnt get discouraged.

Maybe im overthinking it, but i feel like mindset is like 70% of a goalies obstacles to being great and we dont need him second guessing himself. Although, I also get the concern given 6 goals in G1 and obviously getting pulled in G3.

I dont even think its a huge concern, but was on my mind after G4.

This is my first post in this sub so let me know if I broke any rules - also if you see me posting in the red wings subs a lot its only because im trolling them (i act like im a fan LOL) - i live in detroit and its pure comedy trolling them in their DECADE long drought right now.

Go Avs.

Anyone else getting concerned?

After what happened last night, I think it's time to realize:

Avs defenders are trying to take over the captaincy.

Makar is constantly going after Landeskog.

Now Toews is starting on Mackinnon.

You got Manson constantly trying to be the center of attention.

Burns being Burns.

What say you?

The Avs leave zero doubt as to who the better team is in this series as they comprehensively defeat the Wild 5-2 at Ball arena in game 2!

They're off the next three days and play game 3 on Saturday!

GOALS:

- Martin Necas (1) Assists: Nathan MacKinnon (5), Brett Kulak (2)
- Gabriel Landeskog (3) (Power Play) Assists: Nathan MacKinnon (6), Martin Necas (6)
- Nicolas Roy (3) Assists: Ross Colton (2), Brock Nelson (1)
- Nathan MacKinnon (4) (Power Play) Assists: Nazem Kadri (3), Gabriel Landeskog (4)
- Valeri Nichushkin (1) Unassisted

Scott Wedgewood bounced back about as well as he possibly could have and saved 29/31 shots to continue his NHL leading 6th straight postseason victory (tied with Frederik Andersen of the Hurricanes)

Next game: Saturday May 9th @ Minnesota - 7:00PM

Because so many people (not Avs) are saying PK's goal was soft, this is what Wallstedt could see when the puck was released...

u/DepressingAura — 1 day ago

What luxury 😭 Can we go back to this era?

Imagine paying $10 to see a team laden with HHOFers build a Stanley Cup winning season 💁🏻‍♂️

u/Villenemo — 23 hours ago

Uhm no.

I'm not linking the page. So don't ask. Please don't fall for this scam. This is shameless behavior.

u/KakoaAslan — 20 hours ago

I'm asking this to anyone who is planning on going to game 5... can we please get some "KA-REN" chants whenever McCarron is on the ice? I think that would be amazing.
