Mr. Owl, how many shots does it take to get a puck in the back of the Avalanche net?

You inspired me to make this gif.

Well that's gonna be a repeat in a lot of GTD's

edit: you just created a monster

Really liked Mack, Makar, Colton, Kovy, Malinski and the rest were more or less ok too. Reffing was excellent apart of that missed trip on Rantanen. I don't like how the opponent is very often able to slide and stickhandle into the front of the net, otherwise the coverage was pretty decent.

The 0-82 season!

 

[Freaky Styley]

I'm probably one of his biggest haters on this board, but I'll give props when it's due. Colton had a heck of a game tonight.

Colton is just way better as a winger and is developing chemistry with the top guys. If we want to get the most out of him we keep him there and go hard after a guy like Yanni Gourde for 3C at the deadline.

Leadership all day long.

Bednar almost lost us the game by starting Georgie. Let's hope we see a new goalie next game.

Then again, he deserves credit for having the rest of the team firing on all cylinders.


Also, Ducks fan brought this up in their GDT. 2018 Draft:

#64 Justus Annunen
#85 Lukas Dostal

Now only if Annunen could at least start a game. Maybe whenever Georgiev starts playing badly.

 

[missionAvs]

We are the only team in the league with 3 of the top 10 players in the world. Let’s enjoy this while it lasts.

Meh, Edmonton's got McJesus, Drai, and Nurse.

 

[Coffee]

Gotta say the guys who call your guys games

Erm ...

But i'm glad we finally won a f*cking game. Cheers!

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

This is literally the first game I've watched this season (including pre-season) due to IRL stuff, and BAM, right in the kisser. Thank you boys, y'all never let your Aussie mate down ! This Mitts contract is starting to look like a G type steal.

Welcome back!

There's still time to spell Georgiev properly

Annunen had a .928 save% last season in 14 games played.
Dostal had a .902% in 44 games.
Annunen has played 2 games this year as a relief for 4giev and people are shitting on him on every page for some reason.
I think he should start a couple of games and we'd see if he's actually good this year or not.

Just saw the highlights, f*** me 50 shots and still having to to play overtime. How many posts did we ping on top of all those shots, i remember at least 4 from the highlights, MacK, Girard, Makar and Colton…. Sometimes you need to have a bit of luck as well.

That said, happy with performance, especially Colton and Mittelstadt playing well and scoring pleases me. Should give us some serious scoring depth, once Landy, Dopechushkin, Lehky and Drouin return into the line-up. Long may their streak continue.

Now if only 4Giev could actually get to at least 90 percent success rate, that would be something.

I just can’t stand it when Georgiev can’t secure the goddamned puck. Way too many times a better goalie would just catch it or fall on it and freeze it, but with him it turns into a goalmouth scramble and he almost always lets one in when that happens.

The first two goals tonight are perfect examples of this.

First one hits him, can't even remotely locate, doesn't try to locate even though his team is desperately trying help him cover up and eventually it just harmlessly rolls in.

2nd goal, even though it shouldn't have counted, harmless shot from 20 ft should have been caught, instead punts a juicy rebound right into the middle for an easy goal.

3rd goal lost his angle and was so deep that pretty much anything up high was going to beat him.

This should have been a 3-0, 3-1 laugher with even a B rate backup playing.

 

[Grigowski]

A win is a win......

But this game should have never went to OT in the first place....

Just beat San Jose and make some ground.

But something needs to be done in net.

 

[Avs_19]

Win streak starts now!

There’s two main types of goalies imo, blockers and catchers. Blockers tend to allow more rebounds, but if they have good rebound control (Lundqvist or Bobrovsky) they can actually help transition the puck out of the zone. Catchers try to absorb any shot that hits them and reduce the amount of scrambling (Francouz).

Georgiev doesn’t do either well. He tends to flub opportunities to absorb the puck and because of this his rebounds are unpredictable. This makes it incredibly hard for the defense to know how to play. Good rebound control is really what helps a goalie go from good to great as it controls the chaos.

 

[Avs_19]

Nate's post-game interviews are often great because he'll tell you in his own words if he thinks your question was dumb lol. He was asked if he was just trying to get the puck deep there going 1-on-3. "No, I was trying to score....."

 

[SirLoinOfCloth]

We got goalied but still persevered and came out with the win. That third period was pretty reminiscent of our cup run. Just dominant cycling in their zone, beating the opponent to every puck, heavy forecheck. Well, at least until those two late penalties and being stuck in our zone for like 4 straight minutes.

Positive things to take from this one.

The opponent was piss poor though. Let's wait for some real match and do the same. Then we can talk about comeback. Win is nice..
