If we are being honest, Vegas played their best game on Wednesday. Colorado controlled large portions of that game and didnt get the puck luck. Then came back and made a game of it down 3. Vegas cant give up 40 shots and 16 high dangers a game and win this series so Avs still going to take it Makar or not.
On the other hand, the Avs have to quit relying on 3rd period comebacks to win playoff games. Vegas is a veteran enough team to know not to turtle when they have a lead, Avs are undefeated when leading after the 2nd period, you’d think they know that and play with more urgency and “execute” better at the start
@Abliteration18 I dont think the plan is to comeback from 3 goal leads but its a good confidence thing to know you can and id argue Vegas all but turtled and blew the lead
@mastersquid20Makar is a better player, but Stone’s effect on the entire team is massive. They went 31-19 with him, and 8-14 without him this season. It’s a way bigger loss than people realize.
Nobody is saying he’s collapsing the team, but losing a #1 defenseman that happens to be a top 5 player in the league that spends half the game on the ice, that’s huge hit and can certainly swing a series.

Vegas is only 9 years old. They should be struggling not winning! What a bunch of cheats!

Here’s a fun FACT for you. Vegas has won more games and series in the playoffs than ANY team since 2017.

Enough whining about no Makar. We don’t have Stone. So what! Play your game with who you have and that’s that.
@mastersquid20
May 22, 2026 at 10:55 am
Just not even the same thing. No disrespect to Stone, but Makar is out there half the game, best D in the league

Play Makar. Barby will hit him thirty times and take him out for the next two seasons! This is war! ⚔️
@ChristopherHedum-js8eg
May 22, 2026 at 5:45 pm
Just like McKinnon had two Knights on him everytime he got the puck…same with Makar, he won’t have air to breath everytime he touches the puck. 👍

One game into a 7 game series and the “Avs are in trouble” lol

As a VGK fan, I totally agree with you that it’s silly to worry about the Avs.

The Avs better develop some “hate” or “meanness” pretty quickly…

Colorado probably won’t beat Vegas without Makar, and they definitely won’t be Montreal without him

If losing 1 player collapses your team, goalie aside, you’re a fraud.

Makar, Makar, Makar
Vegas is down Mark Stone and still found a way to win.

And again suckas! 2-0 in Colorado 😂

It was game one.
The Avs are guaranteed three more games and they are not losing four straight.
@Owenator26
May 22, 2026 at 11:04 pm
Are the Avalanche in trouble now they are they just lost to Vegas at home again down 2-0 in the WCF. They need Makar back ASAP!
