This was not the start to the playoffs the Colorado Avalanche were looking for. A weak effort from the team as a whole but particularly tough games from Devon Toews, Josh Manson, and Val Nichushkin. The DNVR Avalanche Podcast talks about what went wrong.

Why don't you quit sending your top line out against the Yanni Gourde line? I guess maybe this is going to be a series? Maybe Seattle might be good? You guys are running out of excuses
Thought you guys had the Best D corps in the league top to bottom
Wennberg never shoots he was probably expecting a pass
i only disagree with the take on Dallas last night. Dallas lost, but they played very well. You can't put Avs poor performance on par with their night. Both the wild and stars played extremely intense, way more intense than the Avs tonight.
So Seattle didn't do anything to make them look bad?
You guys said this was going to be a sweep?
I dont put any weight into game 1's in the playoffs unless a team just straight up gets blown out. Game 1 is the feeling out game after that is about what adjustments are made to solidify the gameplan for the rest of the series.
Bullshit. That is all you said. That's what you titled your podcast? Will Seattle be a test? You definitely gave off the vibe it would be an easy series
As history shows, mackinnon elevates in the playoffs. The way he played this year after signing a monster contract and losing the first game in the first round of the playoffs for the first time in a couple of years…..im legitimately scared for the kraken in game 2. I think you just awakened the devil. Mackinnon last year playoffs was super saiyan. This regular season he went super saiyan 2. Tonight, the kraken just activated Nathan Mackinnon Super Saiyan 3
Totally agree on on Nish and Manson playing bad. Think Malgin actually had a good game in terms of puck possession and being dangerous in the ozone.
Couldn’t say I didn’t see this coming, the kraken are better when they play outside there home arena and they beat the avs 2 times at the avs arena this season, can’t say I’m mad I made 2400 dollars cuz of it 😅😂😂😂
Without Landy, we're basically a one line team. I knew we were going to struggle against Seattle because of their depth and ability to spread the scoring around. Hate to say it but even if we win this series, we don't have the forward depth to compete with the other top teams. Glad we won last year before the salary cap caught up to us.
Colorado will bounce back….at the same time, Kraken are legit
Agree, no puck luck, even when the put pressure on, and when shooting at ash marks the.puck ends going of the boards and out of the zone and Avs def had to retrieve with pressure or full possession Kraken going the other way. One resulting in a goal against
Had a blast celebrating my birthday at the bar last night. The loss sucked, but hanging out with ya'll before the pregame show was fun.
Seattle's a very good team with a lot of excellent skaters you guys were dead wrong as far as downplaying the chances of Seattle in this series. I'd bench Girard for Jack Johnson
Gotta put Nichushkin on the top line. Sorry Rodriguez isn't gonna get it done
From what I remember in the regular season matchups…Seattle looked faster than the Avs and had us running around chasing them.. Same thing last night.
Oh how regularly you guys are easy with excuses. Tell that to the guy who paid $500 for the ticket. If millionaires don't feel it, they play shit like yesterday and they did it again at home and they do not care. And just blaming it on EJ is so typical.
Big fan of both teams (moved from CO to SEA in 2000, Avs fan since they started since they were the team that got me into hockey). I still think that the talent of the Avs will make the difference in the end, but this is a fast, scrappy Kraken team without a lot of glaring holes. The TIMING of the Kraken goals, all within ~4:00 of the start of each period, really sucked a lot of air out of the Pepsi Center. No matter who wins, I just want good, high tempo hockey with close scores.
😬oof
Playoff nate engage!
Not sure why so many people were writing Seattle off as an easy series for the Avs. That game was pathetic.
weren't you smart a$$e$ talking sh1t about how you didn't care if you played Dallas or Minnesota next just 2 days ago?
hubris gentleman, hubris
Lehkonen should be on the top line in game 2…there is no reason for him 2 not be and Avs really need Cogliano or Helm back for that leadership/hard work in the bottom 6
Seattle came out and played their hearts out in game 1. It is like a boxer keeping a great fighter off balance so they cannot get any genuine momentum going….
"We become what we think about most of the time, and that's the strangest secret." *Earl Nightingale
What’s he on , that leg hasn’t stoped moving ,,
I understand some players being rusty but Avs seem content with one cup. Missing Landy and Kadri’s grit and scoring.
Love the best of 7 format. Leaves very little room for excuses.
