Jared Bednar is a class act. Colorado is going to be dangerous for a good minute with him as HC. GG Colorado, and great series. Till we meet next year!

[@Mark-xt5lo]

You have got to be kidding me, he got absolutely destroyed and outcoached. What game were you watching...simple strategy by the Stars, keep the Av's top line to the outside, unite a youth line in the third...geezus, stop living in bubble.

[@NA-cd2eq]

As Stars fan, all due credit to Avs. Of any NHL team, I personally feared the Avalanche the most. A loss of Nichushkin was a huge blow too. Even while Hintz struggled to score, losing him just made such a visible impact.

This is what a great coaches made of Total class

[@Mark-xt5lo]

OMG, how blind are you, he was massively out coached, it was a simple strategy, keep the Av's top line to the boards, Stars united a youth line in the third and there was NO adjustment by BedLUM or Bednar, he got destroyed in coaching...great coach, geezus what is so great about losing three games at home when you have the advantage of swapping out lines. Disaster coaching and really exposed BedLUM, I mean Bednar.

@@Mark-xt5lo Bednar has a championship as a coach at every major competitive level of hockey. What are you on about?

[@Mark-xt5lo]

@@r.h.1750 yeah so, how does that change the past 2 years. Stop it, he has a star studded team with one of the highest scoring lines with Rantenan last year hitting 55+ goals and McKinnon this year close to leading all of the NHL. He failed to adjust, you don't go in with a star studded team and lose three home games. You only do that if you CANNOT match the other teams adjustments. Go look at the SOG from last night, you see how even they are, how do you not outshoot your opponent, because, the other team has figured out how to control your top line - then adjust, and Bedumb did NOOOOT adjust. Simple. He was seriously exposed and has been against deeper teams, and lets remember the 3 years they lost to the VGK prior to 2022.

[@baka_baca]

The Avs played incredible overall this postseason. The Stars just did better this time around and I can respect my team losing to such a great team. Congrats Stars, hope we get you next year!

[@tophercabba]

couldnt win one o-zone face off during the overtimes :( thats what killed us , georgie played amazing werent for him it would of been a shorter series

[@paulwakefield1015]

Georgie was so good

[@cobrachannel100]

To be honest faceoffs have been an achillees heel all season long. Absolutely pathetic because they hovered 35-40% in those. Just bad. I dont understand why that is the case. I was under impression that was like a coin flip. I guess I am wrong.

[@ostarakonrad9907]

Bedsy is our coach until we start trading the core away. And that will be a very sad day. Cant stand the "trade bedsy" reactionaries. The guy is one of a kind

[@cobrachannel100]

While I like him, especially his demeanor and as a person. However, he has to take some blame, no? It feels like there have been a lot of series that they should have won but eventually lost. That year they had Presidents trophy where they lost 4 in a row to the same Dallas I believe. Then they have losses to Vegas, Minn, etc. Those playoffs losses seem like some adjustments could have been made but werent. I dont blame him for last year. However, this year, there have been lack of attention to detail, lack of focus, dumb penalties, undisciplined play, turnovers on D. What about game 2 and 4 where they didnt show up? I mean, seriously, the team didnt show up to play and were flat. Isnt there some blame on the coach? I think there should be some reflection on the coaching staff. They can and should improve motivating this team.

[@Dunkdamonk]

Yeah I think Bednar has served his time well-but it is time. I think the guys need a new voice. It's nothing personal. They need someone to take them to the next level, and I never see that fire from him anymore

[@cobrachannel100]

OT was under siege. I knew it was a matter of time and it happened. It was one of those games where they couldnt score. There were a few like these during the season: Blue Jackets, Montreal, Rangers. They cant win those 2-1, 1-0, type of games. They did show effort and heart game 6. The reason they lost was lack of scoring other than top line this round from the talent perspective. However, Avs wasted game 2 and game 4 due to not coming out sharp. They lacked execution, attention to detail, took dumb penalties, etc. Mikko, Mac, Makar all were bad in those games. So 2 games that they dont show up for is then tough to win a series.

[@9Pact9]

Why are u so certain? Dont be so salty. I am an Avs fan but I am not delusional. Dallas is great and they have as much of a chance as any other team. In fact, they have a better chance of making the finals than Van/Edm imho. East in Rangers and Fla is tough but Dallas can play them well.

[@bafriesen]

Avs played hard. But when their speed was at a crawl after 2OT's in game 6, the bigger, bruising, balanced team will come out victorious. That's why bigger, deeper, grittier teams win year after year. They can inflict their will. After the grind of the tournament your legs are not going to hold out so overly offensive and small team, like the constructed Avs, aren't going to cut it. I thought MacFarland got the memo but apparently not. Can't wait for them to be even smaller next year and probably repeat this [heavy eye roll].

BEDUMB just got absolutely destroyed and outcoached on so many levels. Just cannot get over this at how badly he was exposed. It was a god-awful easy strategy by the Stars, keep the Av's top line on the boards, eliminate east/west passing, cause the Av's to expend as much energy as possible, and unite a youth line with Johnston, Robertson and Stankhoven in the third, geezus he was just standing there watching the third period, he was absolutely a fish out of water, he does not know how to coach against deeper teams, he got exposed last year, and this year was so much more easy to see he is deeply inexperienced when it comes to competing against deeper teams. HORRIBLE, losing three games at home when you have line advantage at this level and with this talent, geezus, just completely abused in coaching.

Jared Bednar is way too comfortable and positive given such a lousy performance. So the Avs played hard huh? Ok... so how do you explain 3 shots in the 2nd period and only 4 in OT? You can't. At the end of the day you have to get pucks to the net and I though after Mikkos goal we totally took our foot off the gas. How does Dallas out shot you on home ice? In fact, we haven't won on home ice this series despite having the best home record in the regular season. It comes down to this. After Game 1 Dallas adapted to MacKinnon and Makar and The Avs failed to make adjustments. In fact I could argue no adjustments were made. I considered this to be a spectacular regular season performance followed by an incredible Round 1 against the Jets and an abysmal Round 2. The only silver lining through all of this is Georgie is spectacular and we have a few incredible individuals like Drouin and Lekky who always showed up. We need some serious help to stay a Cup contender. First, bye bye Val and get more 3rd line depth.

Showed a lot of inconsistencies. The only stretch was that 9-0 stretch where they played well.

DeBoer turtled periods 1 and 2 focusing on keeping the Av's to the outside, man, and in the third period changed his lines into a Youth line and you could see how badly the energy level was from the start of the third period for the Avs. Absolutely SCHOOLED on coaching. Bedlum, I mean Bednar, never adjusted, just screaming at the freaking TV...Stars have been doing this since game 2, lock down defensively, bring energy to the third. How do you lose 3 games at home when YOU have the advantage of line choices, you know how, with HORRID coaching. Avalanche have badly underperformed these past two seasons. They have had all the talent in the world, but they are just not getting up to the level they need to be to compete with the deeper teams. Bad decisions: No backup goalie, Byrum trade was bad, Girard in NHL Players Assistance, Nichunumscle now has impacted this team for 2 years, I'd cut this guy right now, Landy - either he can play or he can't, move on and stop coddling him, player health - this team has not played together with out lengthy injuries to the core, what is going on with this teams injury problems. losing games to rebuilding teams, seriously, montreal, SJ and Columbus, geezus... So disgusted with this team, from top to bottom, they need to sit in the stinky stuff and smell it a little because this product is so underperforming and getting out coached in serious ways. Chris Mcfarland is not making good decisions. This team needs a gut check and if I haven't said it before, Bednar got out coached and abused in this series.
