DeBoer should get fired if we lose this series and Robo doesn't play
I've been reading that from your fanbase. We say the same thing thing with Bednar not being able to solve DeBoer. Also, I haven't watched Rantanen since got traded twice. My impression and many of our fanbase is that he needs a facilitator to get going or he tends to just float around. Maybe he still adjusting to your system and finding chemistry with his linemates.

I'll admit after watching the highlights those first two Avs goals were redirects, especially the 2nd goal which basically knuckleballed into the net.
Concerned about the injury to Ross Colton though. My guess is Miles Woods will come in next game and perhaps Landy game 3.
Yeah, playoff hockey is a tight checking game and you need greasy goals here and there. I thought the pace was on Dallas side with getting spurts from the Avs here and there early. I also like that McKinnon and Makar(even though missing shots) getting a week off were good for them as they got some juice in them. I love playoff Manson as you can feel his presence and match their physicality then the 4th line just work work work. The 3rd line was solid while the 2nd line I thought was not that good. Eric Johnson wasn't good either back there. Maybe give Malinksky a chance next game. And Blackwood.. nice!!!
