Smitty

Hugs, cheers, and excitement galore 🥳 The @Avalanche bench was PUMPED for Brett Kulak's overtime winner (and so were their fans)! #StanleyCup

@ProducerDrew_ Biggest moments of your season and your sitting on the bench while Middleton is out. Guy doesn't kill penalties, doesn't play when the other teams net is empty. Best defenceman who can't play defense? Guys a joke.

Makar vs Hughes in this series: Makar G: 2 A: 1 Ev-Strength xGF%: 65.57 Ev-Strength CF%: 57.29 Hughes G: 2 A: 5 Ev-Strength xGF%: 43.60 Ev-Strength CF%: 49.20 Hughes was a weapon for the Wild offensively but still showed his struggles on the defensive side #GoAvsGo #MNWild

.@BizNasty2point0 brought out the snorkel gear and Nathan MacKinnon REFUSED to answer his questions 😭

@ProducerDrew_ I cnanot wait til bednar is fired. Guy is pathetic. Bet he says the most limp dicked thing in the intermission and the wild come out and score an early on one seivewood

Welp, see ya in Game 6 I guess

Game 4 scored! Monday's Avalanche-Wild #StanleyCup Playoffs matchup earned ESPN's top-viewed Second Round Game 4 on cable

@ProducerDrew_ You're right, the avs cannot do that. Wild can, but avs certainly cannot. But helps that the avs don't go down easy and wild seem to go down from a slight breeze

Doesn’t matter if he falls easy or dove. You can’t extend your arms on a cross check or the refs gonna call it Avs gotta stop taking these penalties Keep this even strength

@ProducerDrew_ Agreed, just like I disagreed with the wild switching to Gus. Feels exactly the same

I strongly disagree with this decision if Bednar starts Blackwood

For all the talk from the Wild after last game saying the Avs were throwing their heads back, we're certainly seeing them do that a lot this evening.

Gonna watch MacKinnon smoke Quinn Hughes on repeat today #GoAvsGo

MacKinnon to Hughes

@ProducerDrew_ You can't forget Hughes crutial assist on Mackinnons goal

The Makar v Hughes battle kicks off with a gem. Avs win 9-6 Makar 2G 1A Hughes 1G 2A #GoAvsGo #MNWild

@RyanLarkin66 @spittinchiclets @mattmurley19 He doesn't have the puck. Makar was literally suspended for laying a weaker hit than this on a guy who didn't have the puck.

@spittinchiclets @mattmurley19 can you explain how this was dirty?

Cale Makar headed to the room after this hit 💥

Here is the NHL DOPS explaining the Auston Matthews suspension decision on the Benn clip... weird how it fits perfectly

Surprise!

Cale Makar is better at his job than the guy who called a penalty shot on this.

@jessemontano_ If that was Kadri that laid that hit, he'd be sitting the next couple games. But it was on Nacho so obviously we get the penalty

From the replay we just saw in-arena, that looked like a lot of head contact with Necas from Mikey Anderson

AVS FANS, HOW EXCITED ARE YOU? 😆
