[@rbrucerye]

Ladies and gentlemen... that's what we call a ball-breaker goal. Seems like the Jets are going to be golfing with the Leafs early this year.

[@DDWyss]

The Avs followed this up with some more back-breaking as Nichushkin scores just before the end of the 2nd!

[@joeidaho5938]

Agree Top players coming through when it counts...is what playoff success is about. Avs do it...and Leafs don't...and I'm a Leafs fan....although a big fan of Mackinnon, as well as Makar.

[@DDWyss]

@@joeidaho5938 Nice to see the Avs big boys getting their cookies in this one after spreading the scoring around in game 3. I would love to see the Leafs break a game or two wide open against Boston like what the Avs are doing.

[@stevencooke6451]

The Jets aren't getting enough attention for being just plain horrible. Hellebucyk's numbers are so bad in this series. He makes Samsonov look like .... at least a decent goalie. Granted, I think Colorado is capable of humiliating just about anyone.

[@scurvydog]

I used to go into the Boston Garden and watch Orr. Now I have the ability to watch Makar. The best part of being able to see these two in action is to watch them away from the puck, their positioning , their footwork, always thinking one or two plays ahead.

[@joeidaho5938]

Great individual effort by a great player. This is what playoff hockey has to be about, It's on this stuff that the Leafs have failed up to now. Big players have to really step up. Avs have had all their great players come through with scoring, Class team!

[@tuunaes]

Actually avalanche scoring has been significantly more evenly spread to different players in these playoffs than during season.

[@soulknife20]

We really haven't. Its been all over the board with scoring.

Sad, but true. Then again, obnoxious Boston doesn't win many Cups, but is a team every fake & real season. The next Canadian team to bring back the Stanley is prob Montreal. Cause they hired Boston guys. Though, I hoping EDM is healthy enough to do it this/next yr. MTL is 4 yrs away.

[@my3dviews]

@@PositronMcHappy Ya. When I think of who the next Canadian Stanley Cup winner will be, I never think of it being the Jets or the Leafs. Montreal came close in 2021. Was a bit surprised that they weren't better the following year. Maybe lost too many guys that got them to the finals.

I'd still take him on the Devils in an instant. Too bad he doesnt play in Toronto or Montreal or the media would've driven the front office to trade him this offseason.

Nah. I watched every game this season. Their best player is MacKinnon. He has no bad games. Makar, sometimes turns it over in the Avs zone, and those guys end up scoring. In addition, there were stretches of several games where Makar had no points. MacKinnon produces every single game, pretty much. Without Mac, this team wouldnt go anywhere.

This play isn’t THAT impressive. If there was a couple dangles and he skated past at least one D - maybe. Wasn’t a godlike goal

[@davidlyons6235]

@@FloydRunner2049 it's the playoffs against a highly rated defense in front of a Vezina goalie. Just because it looks easy and casual to you doesn't mean that was. How many defensemen do you see going coast to coast to score a goal? Any that you could name would either be elite or generational. Hell most forewards can't do this. I heard the same bullshit when Makar casually stole the puck from McDavid in the playoffs a few years ago while McDavid was on a breakaway. Makar skates backwards and casually takes it away from him. That's, in part, what makes it amazing. They make it look easy. Yet McDavid's fans insisted it wasn't impressive. Hard to diminish a play without dimishing the opposition. Have it your way. It's not impressive. Lol.
