i hate injuries…Saros being out, leaves them no chance…if he was going to play, i think they could have made it a series… without him, it’ll end in 4 or 5 games.
I think my prediction is unlikely, but I have the Preds winning in 4. If they can get a physical edge and shell shock the Avs in game 1, I could see the Avs not getting back up off the mat, and the goaltending is sketchy for the Avs even if their #1 is healthy. This is the kind of series that saw the Preds sweep the Blackhawks in 2017, so maybe it happens again.
I understand the "avalanche are soft narrative" but like did anyone watch any of the games this year? Landy bloodied ekholm, Nate punished dumba, Landy bullied hall for the hit on Nate etc. This team is not going to stand by while questionable hits are thrown. And if you do ** around and find out you have Dermy to deal with.
They've been focused on one thing, the cup. And not taking any shit from anyone.
All you have e to say is no Saros to figure out what will happen here
As a preds fan, I have no faith with Rittich. If Saros plays we will have a pulse.
don't know what happened to the Avs in the last 6 games of the reg season, but truly hope that they'll be ready for a deep run. i wish an Avs win in 4 or 5. anyways, these days will mean an early wake-up to me as game 1,2,4 will start at 3:30 AM CET 🙂 go Avs!
I love saving these up and listening to them all right before playoffs!!!!!!!!
I don't think either team has what I'd call stellar goaltending right now, especially minus Saros for Nashville, but keep in mind that Saros does not have a good playoff record. Colorado has relied mostly on outscoring their opponents this season, and over a long series, I think defense may be the biggest factor here. If they're on, I have to give that edge to Nashville, but with this Preds team you just don't know what you're going to get from game to game. This one is a toss-up but I don't like Nashville's odds here.
Kadri will get suspended again in this series. Book it
I think Newhook is the wild card for the AVS
I think COL does advance in 6. However I don't think they make it farther, NSH plays a very heavy game. I think COL will hate waking up after game 3. They will most likely be very hurt after this series.
Preds are a massive underdog. But not only Preds won 3 out of 4 against Avs but they clearly outhit Avs in each of those games.
Can’t wait to get fucking swept by the Avs. 😐
Feel much better these playoffs knowing MacDermid will be in the lineup to regulate and having Manson on the backend as well as a healthy EJ. Both Vegas and Dallas were able to push them around the past two years and I don’t see that happening this go around. Great round one test against a very physical team and I think if the Avs show they can match that physicality, watch out. If not, may have a similarly unfortunate outcome the previous two years. Only thing most folks will agree on is that the playoffs are unpredictable.
Don’t believe the Preds have it in them to win the round but are very capable of making exciting
I'd say Devon Toews and Erik Johnson are two of the biggest x-factors for Colorado. Toews has been arguably the best defensive mind in the league all year long, completely overshadowed by Makar's offensive output. And EJ is coming off of a fantastic season playing anchor D and PK after missing the playoffs last year. Having these two guys healthy and playing the way they're playing, the Avs are gonna look a lot different this postseason. Their d-core is currently tops in the league, which is why they've had such an insane season.
Avs in 5, or a potential sweep
To be fair Nashville hasn’t faced a healthy avalanche roster they beat us in November with half an AHL team due to so many players being out with COVID the last game they beat us was a soft game by Kuemper hen let in 3 goals almost from the blue line which I say is an off night by Kuemper….
All in all Avs in 4 thank you for attending my Ted Talk
If Saros is actually healthy. Its Nashville in 6. Colorado has proven they are not a playoff team in the past and this season seems likely to be a repeat. If Saros is injured? Colorado in 4 which pains me physically to say.
THG, that's bold not putting Rantanen on the "key players" list.
I thought that a huge factor last year was that Ryan Reaves was able to abuse the Avs (especially their defense) and they didn't have an answer. MacDermid is the final piece of the puzzle, I believe. The Avalanche have plenty of talent in their lineup, even with MacDermid playing. But they can't afford to not have his protection. They aren't the most rugged team.
The 5-2 win for nashville was when half of colorados team had covid they didn’t have one star player in the lineup. The overtime win was the phantom penalty in ot that led to them scoring on the powerplay
Colorado.
The Avs’ weakness is handling another team’s forecheck. In their own end, they’re not special. The problem is breaking through their press, which is relentless. The Predators’ D is going to be under a lot of pressure and forced to make quick, accurate outlet passes and gain the offensive zone. If they can do that, they will have a chance. Most teams can’t do that on the Avs. Josi can probably do it, but what happens when he isn’t on the ice controlling things?
Avs are all skill…no will. They will be ousted again in the second round…if not the first. Nate MacKinnon come out of the closet already.
I thought it might be useful to look at each team's performance in regulation in their last 10 games of the season to get kind of an idea of what the playoffs might look like. So I'm posting this comment on each one of the series review videos with the appropriate teams' stats and league ranks. (The third number in a team's record indicates games in which the score was tied at the end of regulation).
Colorado: 4-5-1, +2 goal differential (T-12th), 3.7 GF/G (T-7th), 32.8 SOG/G (10th), 11.3 shooting% (7th), 17.1% PP (19th), 84.6% PK (7th), 8.2 PIM/G (T-14th), 50.4 FOW% (12th)
Nashville: 1-4-5, -12 goal differential (28th), 2.70 GF/G (T-24th), 29.7 SOG/G (T-20th), 9.1 shooting% (27th), 25.7% PP (8th), 72.2% PK (28th), 12.0 PIM/G (29th), 52.3 FOW% (7th)
Expected matchup stats
Colorado: 3.73 GF/G, 19.2% PP, 76.7% PK, 49.1 FOW%
Nashville: 2.78 GF/G, 23.3% PP, 80.8% PK, 50.9 FOW%
Projected winner: Colorado
The regular season record is very misleading though. Remember 2 of those loses are…. really weird. The first was that covid game where we had almost half our guys either injured or on covid protocol? I don't know if that game has any bearings how these teams are against each other. Then the last game we rested everyone… No Makar, no MacK, etc etc. Again… not sure it's a great indicator. So I'm seeing 1-1 as the honest regular season record that makes sense to compare.
Without Saros though… Man we really should run them. Saros is an incredible goalie, but their other options not as much. I'll grant you Duchene just always seems to score against us darn his soul. 🙂
Important to remember the three Nashville wins were the COVID cup, the phantom too many men in OT, and the last game where the Avs were coasting. I don't think you can underestimate anyone, though, and Nashville is definitely scrappy. Avs in 6.
Good stuff, I would love to have as many subscribers as you!
It’s all or nothing this year bois! IT IS OUR YEAR! Bring me home that cup ALL HAIL CALE!
Wins are wins of course, and while I personally put zero stock in regular season results translating to the the playoffs, I can see why some do. That being said, I do think there is some important context to keep in mind with the regular season meetings between these teams:
The 5-2 win for the Preds at home(the second time these teams met) was the infamous "COVID Cup" game where Colorado was playing with 15 skaters and a bunch of their top players were out with COVID. Not all that relevant in the playoffs.
The 5-4 win for the Preds(the third meeting) was in 3-on-3 OT, which doesn't happen in the playoffs.
The 5-4 win for the Preds(the final meeting) was in a shootout, which also doesn't happen in the playoffs.
Not saying Nashville isn't a good team and this could absolutely be more difficult than most people think it will be, but without Saros I just don't know how Nashville beats this Avs team four times.
