He's got three Stanley Cups and is going to end up being one of the best players in the history of the game. I'll never understand why he bitches about every single minor called against him.

Welcome to the 21st Century athlete.

LeBron James cries and yells at the ref more than anyone.

 

[NYR94]

When ya look good against bottom feeder teams for 3 games then play a competitive NHL team

wow talk about an episode that would not have been made today yikes

 

[Blueshirt Believer]

Bad positioning on the first and third. I don't blame goalies on breakaways bit he always looks defeated on a breakaway even before he's inevitability beaten.

The defense in front of him on the second and third sucked, but you need your goalie to make a save. He needs to stop one of those last two at least.

Pretty much

The Marino and Crosby goals were terrible.

He was completely out of position on the first goal and didn't track the puck on that weak floater from Crosby.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Evil Twin Geo has left the good twin tied up in the bedroom for most of his career.

There's no good Georgiev anymore. The best we can hope for is mediocre at this point. Georgiev is not even an NHL backup anymore. Good third stringer.

 

[Rempe73]

I think he changed goalies so he didn’t use his timeout.

The referee announced that he used it.

 

[Whoot Whoot]

losing 3-1 and have to watch some bs about crybaby inbetween periods

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

He is not amused.

That is exactly what you want from a backup. You'll do better with a high variance goalie who is sometimes great/sometimes terrible than one who is consistently bad. This has already been shown mathematically to be a better option.

Wow really going out on a limb saying you don’t want a goalie that is consistently bad LOL.....no shit

you want a back up that consistently makes the saves you expect. Don’t need a guy that will steal you games just a guy that gives you a chance to win every night. A guy that is totally hit or miss is not a reliable back up

Miller has been horrible too. He’s not hitting anybody. Relying too much on a reach. Move your feet and play hard every shift. Too lackadaisical.

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

Why the hell did Connor Murphy get thrown out for that?

That’s a beautiful hit.

 

[SA16]

What about one who is consistently average?

A consistently average goalie wouldn't be a backup. But I am not sure. The reasoning is obviously that in the high variance goalies great games you will be very likely to win and in his bad games you will sometimes win. In a consistent bad goalie (so one who gives up 3 or 4 goals every single goal) you will just lose most of the time.

We're talking a backup goalie here. By definition he is not going to be very good, If he is good enough to give you a chance every night then he wouldn't be a backup. Exceptions are mostly young guys (like Georgiev) who have an established starter ahead. Something like Fleury/Lehner isn't a comparison that is a timeshare not a clear starter/backup situation.

The aforementioned Trevor Kidd. You know he was playing for the Panthers at the time based on his facial expression.

Poor @will1066 missing this.

 

[RangersFan1994]

this team is so mentality soft in my opinion.

 

[LOFIN]

A good backup is someone who is not constantly in the IR

Why can't a consistently average goalie be a backup? Plenty of teams have had two above-average goalies splitting time. When we rolled out Cam Talbot or Raanta or whoever, I would say they were average or better. You can absolutely have a backup who is average or better and I'd argue that we've had that for basically fifteen years now.

ADA BOY MICHELETTI

TELL IT LIKE IT IS

GET RID OF THE BUM WHO RUNS OUR PP

Didn't we already get rid of the guy who ran the PP?

Pidto: "Taylor Hall became Taylor Fall"

The GOAT everyone

Wonder if he can take Sam’s spot once the legend inevitably retires. Good voice, knows the sport, quick on his feet ... wouldn’t mind trying it.

 

[ThirdEye]

Hey Kreider, you've done your fair share this season but if you're really interested in the captaincy this is the time to show it.

 

[Tob]

I think he was pretty healthy for us. Must be the discount back alley doctors in Arizona.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Quinn pulling Georgiev and calling a timeout were his two best coaching moves this season. This game is still salvageable.
