Darcy Kuemper Gets Criticized By Coach After Friday's Loss

Unfortunately for Avalanche fans, they learned that's easier said than done. The Lightning would win this one 3-2 and force a Game 6 back in Tampa Sunday night.

After the game, Avalanche Head Coach Jared Bednar would take a little jab at his Goaltender Darcy Kuemper who would let up two goals he sure would like back including the first goal by Jan Rutta and the winning goal by Ondřej Palát with 7:00 minutes to go in the 3rd period.

Bednar would say this about Darcy Kuemper,

"He was ok I think he knows I'd like to see him get the first one obviously"

There's no doubt Andrei Vasilevskiy outplayed Darcy Kuemper tonight and Kuemper knows he should've stopped those two goals. Let's see if his coach's comments will motivate Kuemper to be better Sunday night.
