The Colorado Avalanche finally struggle in loss to New York Islanders | DNVR Avalanche Postgame
The Avalanche were never really competitive on the scoreboard in this one as they chased all night. Far to many players going through the motions. Goals from Nichushkin, Necas, and Lehkonen were not enough to make it close

Just hope the boys regroup.
My problem with the first goal, is whether the puck was loose or whatever, an islander player pushed Blackwoods right pad, which initially caused him to fall over, and then the 2nd players stick gets in his pad preventing him from getting up and recovering. I think the inital pad push is absolutely a guy knowingly pushing him to make him lose balance, and then he can't recover because of the guy wrenching the stick out of his pads. Seems pretty clear cut to me but nobody really knows what goalie interference is I guess.
Blackwood won’t win you a Stanley Cup
Don’t let girard shoot 95% gets blocked
Necas bad, Makar not impactful, Mac sleepy and sloppy. Toews, as always, on O was pathetic. Burns, some dumb puck handling in front of the net, Manson was bad, Girard also average, etc. Even the 4th line guys who usually great, made no difference. Landy, Nelson, Val were sort of ok. Malinksi decent.
PP is a concern. Perhaps not today, but I guarantee u, they will be beat by the Stars due to these struggles. Because Dallas will capitalize on theirs and I am pretty sure Avs will end up in the box a lot. And we all know it is inevitable those two teams meet in the playoffs.
One more observation. Not sure people noticed but last year and two years ago, Mac would have that one timer go in, it feels like, every other if not every PP from the dot. Now, he cant even get that shot off. Not sure what that is. Is that the opposing teams scouted and have a defense against that pass? But that play never almost happens any more.
Boys were sick and tired, onto the next one
One thing I think you guys are really glossing over as a concern is that since the beginning of November, the Avs have only played well in 1 road game. You talk about this team overwhelming opponents and the result being inevitable but that’s only true at home. The difference between the home version and road version is a chasm right now.
@SJ let an avg Sharks team hang around and lose in ot. Can’t score
@Edm played great
@Van didn’t look great, got outshot, gave up 4 and had to win in OT
@Nas got destroyed, goalie stole one. Can’t score
@Chi somehow came out worse than Nashville. Got it together but still can’t score.
@Min got bodied for much of the game that was the biggest game the Avs have had since the Vegas game. Can’t score.
Tonight get smoked.
Avs lose one game and the entire league blows it out of proportion. It is amazing how many people I've seen overreacting and making fun of the Avs 😂. The Avs have always struggled on the road in the Metro, I fully expected them to lose to either the Flyers or the Islanders. Blackwood was due for a bad game, refs still don't know what goalie interference is, there's been sickness in the locker room, and the most important thing is the Avs have drawn a target on their back the size of Stars fans egos, every team is going to give 110% against them. People hate seeing successful teams and pray for their downfall, difference is the Avs will forget about this game in 2 days.
32:55 You have stumbled upon the #1 issue with coaching the Avs: its means telling the MVP, 100pt player, Cup champion, famously opinionated & demanding, better-than-McJesus, makes-the-GM-sign-his-friends, Nate Dogg that he's doing it wrong. Bednar won't argue with Nate bc Nate bites back, like Jan 2021 on the bench, in front of everyone, where he told JB to "do your job!"
