Jesus could be in net, and he'd still get scored on, so Kuemper and Smith are just going to be along for the ride....lol I agree but I do think Keumper is a bit better than Smith, especially when he stays busy. Darcy tends to struggle when he’s not seeing a lot of pucks and that won’t be a problem. 1 Quote Link to comment

Everybody I know has been hoovering Kuemper this year, saying he's been better than Grubby, but what's overlooked is that he's got some crazily solid D'men in front of him. Look at Grubby last year, put up career numbers, and now that he's in Seattle, he's complete crap Quote Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted May 28, 2022 Author Share Posted May 28, 2022 Well I guess the diff wasn’t the goalie. Husso way out played Keumper. Avs O just kept the pressure on and StL had no counter attack and couldn’t break through our D. 1 Quote Link to comment

I'd say Kuemper was better, but the difference was the blueliners in front of him... Quote Link to comment

He stays sharper when he’s seeing more pucks. Excited for this next series to get going tonight. Hopefully the Avs can hold McDavid and Draisaitl to some pedestrian output. I don’t believe either of those guys scored in our previous matchups this year. As much as it’s being billed as McDavid vs MacKinnon, I think this series will be decided by the 3rd and 4th lines. The top lines are going to get theirs but the Avs should have a slight advantage after that. It’s gonna be fun. Quote Link to comment

I'm a little surprised that Makar hasn't been mentioned much in all this build up, but that's fine. I hope this rest has helped him, and he can come out and destroy... Quote Link to comment

Cale’s goal scoring seemed to drop off after he crashed into the post a few games back. Wondering if he hasn’t had some rib or muscle issues. And Rantanen has been almost nonexistent for about 2 months, ever since he missed about a week with “illness”. He’s looked a step slower and has been less physical on the boards and in the corners. He’s the one I would really like to see fully back on track. Quote Link to comment

admo Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 I am excited about this series. Colorado should win, and I agree with the Oiler players saying, "the Avs are the best team in hockey". Plus the Avs have a tremendous record at home. I'm real proud Edmonton made it this far; it's been a great year. I'm thinking Avs in 6. I want Oilers in 7 lol. Can't wait until the puck drops!
