Thread: We Won But At What Cost
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>yikes</b></div><div>“ Jared Bednar on his team's response to the MacKinnon hit: "I liked it. ... I don't think his intent was to hit Nate high, but he catches him high."

"The power play goes out right away and pots a big goal." “

I just think your hot on the play.

Wasn’t a good hit but wasn’t a dumb player/ being an idiot like you allude to him being a piece of sh**. Both coaches have very similar opinions on the hit and there was no huge uproar.

Wasn’t a good hit but definitely wasn’t an idiotic play like some players make/ you’re making it out to be.

He gets a game or so; about right, and we move on. Don’t think bad blood is needed or warranted lol</div></div>
With you and Coga going back and fourth I realized there is a medium to this situation.
Like you said wasn’t a dumb play but we can agree it was a high hit and was a penalty. Probably like a one or two game suspension if I had to guess. Also you best belive there will be bad blood especially if Mackinnon ends up missing time. If he does and if the guy who hit Mackinnon ( my bad can’t recall his name) is in the lineup someone is gonna be challenging him. That’s just what happens when you take a run at the other teams superstar

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>coga16</b></div><div>It was a dumb hit by a dumb player who was at mid ice, saw the whole play develop, picked up his stride towards Nate, did not attempt to play the puck, principle contact with the head, lowered his shoulder and lead with his elbow. It was a garbage play, just everything he did was the worst possible decision made

He could. have just put a stick on him or lined him up on the body or hip and he would have made an actual hockey play. He hit him square on the chin, dont downplay it

He will be suspended bc he had multiple opportunities to avoid the play or play it differently and he did not. Low IQ play so he will get what he deserves</div></div>
That bottom part is the important part. I would expect a suspension because of the fact that the play was avoidable and it was contract to the head

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>coga16</b></div><div>No he is not. Come on duck. You’re letting your emotions of frustration make things sound a 100 times that they are

Last night sucked but you are acting like the avs have been bad all season and that’s not even close to being true

Are the blues freaking out that they lost the season series to the coyotes? Yeah the coyotes beat up on the blues. This will happen in a division that you only play each other, no team is sweeping one another 7-8 games</div></div>

The part about the Avalanche that has frustrated me has been their consistency, sure it may be harder because of the condeansed schedule but if you look at other contenders like Toronto, Boston, Tampa etc they beat teams that they should on a regular. And honestly that’s all I was looking for, I knew they weren’t going to go 56-0 but loosing to the scrub California teams could really impact the playoff seeding.

Once again all I am looking for in the Avalanche is consistency not necessarily winning every night just beating the teams we should.
