As much as Bednar is great, I think his message has just gone quiet there


I agree. Something has gone stagnant, and it’s behind the bench. The front office has been remarkable keeping this window open, we’ve had a chance damned near a decade now (I’d call it ‘19-26 at this rate).

Bednar won’t be unemployed long, but I just think we need to move on. I want Carle.

Sure as shite wish I did. Still think Bednar is back?

Hell of a series by Vegas, obviously.

You can see SOGs or high end chances and all of the analytics, which mostly favor Colorado. It’s abundantly clear that analytics don’t mean shite because Vegas deserved to win each of the four games.

Bednar needs to go.

Bednar done in Colorado, no fricking doubt

Nowhere close. Made it to the third round.

I think I’m hearing Bednar’s swan song playing.

Which sucks, I love the guy and think he’s a hell of a coach.
This is just inexcusable.

Ah yes, no slashing there when clear :lol:

Since you’re there, Sutherland apparently told the Avs bench that the puck wasn’t near… which is part of the rule, but not the rule when THAT bad. I counted 7 going back, but you’ve got better sight of that.

Heres why I think Bednar is done after this one: what changes did we actually make besides shifting lines?

Vegas isn’t overly concerned about pressuring us on the puck in their PK… so we still set up the bumper? Why not set up a screen that forces more open shooting lanes by shifting them out of their square defense and into a diamond?

Bednar needs to go.

I hope ESPN shows this out of the break, pretty sure Vegas had 7 on the ice.

Avalanche are only alive because of the goalie change. Otherwise we are boat raced.

So far only Blackwood has shown up


Well, and the obvious - Kelly Sutherland against the Avs.

How many times has this man had clear chances and missed this series? fricking hell.

Terrible shot by Nelson, it's like he wasn't even trying


Absolutely. Hart had him squared up and he decided to shoot it from the high slot. What the frick?

There’s “trying too hard” and whatever the frick that was. Probably could’ve slowed down and drawn a penalty, if not beat Hart with physicality at the end of it similar to Landy’s last night.

I’m over Nelson.

Jared Bednar at the casino last night definitely means he’s done if we lose this one :lol:

Nichuskin hurt as well. This thing takes a lot of luck, it’s not going the Avs way.

Bednar being successful one year out of 9 years when we’ve been one of the favorites to win it all? Only twice out of the second round?

Change incoming.

Turns out it’s hard to win a Cup More at 11


Correct, I literally commented on that a couple of pages ago.

Also more at 11 - Bednar is fricked.

Crazy Nate is only gonna have one cup with this core. If they don’t win it all next year they have some tough decisions to make.


Yes and no. Gotta remember how top line heavy things were from 18-21, then obviously the injuries 23-25.

This is inexcusable with the depth the front office has created. A lot of it is very young too.
quote:

I do. Greetings from the Ball Arena watch party wya scrub?


Come check in when you’re proven to be the dumbass. The roster McFarland and Sakic have given him is inexcusable to have had two trips to the Conference Finals and one Cup out of it.

Carle will be the coach in Colorado next year.

Bednar has to be canned if they complete this choke


I’m pretty damned confident he will be and Carle will be headed a few miles north.
quote:

Do you do stand-up too? Holy frick


Clearly you pay attention to the temperature of the Avalanche and the fanbase.

There were questions about Bednar’s future with the org after the loss to Dallas last year. Do you know what you’re even talking about?

McFarland and Sakic had to give that whole “stamp of trust” in Bednar last year. This one might be enough, particularly if swept, to go get that young guy that is clearly meant for the NHL at DU.
quote:

What?


What is the question here? Bednar’s seat has been hot for a while, only cooled by the Cup year. Second round hurdle overcome in ‘22, and then again now and this is the performance?

Bednar is far from safe. Not sure what you’re laughing about. Especially when Carle is just down the street.
