why is Avs down 4-0 to the Buffalo

why is Avs down 4-0 to the Buffalo

Because they have a goalie playing like its 1984

They stayed committed to Georgiev instead of looking for an alternative who can actually make saves. If they signed Lankinen they'd likely be in a much better spot in the standings.

Also, Makar isn't very good defensively.

And the the buffalo are partying like it's 1999

Won the Cup in 2022 and do not look good now with prime age Mack, Makar, Rant. Didn’t have an elite goalie but Kemper played well for them but priced out afterwards.

Landy injury was huge as was betting on Nuke who has personal issues to resolve.

 

[Jyrki]

f*** the Avs tbh, zero f***ing respect for bringing back Nichushkin.

 

[EpochLink]

The Avs need goaltending so badly

What do you suggest they do? Buy him out?

Watch out, you are going to death threats from Avs fans for saying that

Oh Buffalo…

Oh Buffalo…

I never post this but…LOL.

Oh Buffalo…

 

[StreetHawk]

Man, Edm... Holloway with his 8th goal and 7th Assist. 15 points in 26 games. On pace for a 25 goal and mid 40 point season.

Why?

The Avs need goaltending so badly

 

[Jyrki]

Why?

Infinite second chances and freedom from consequences no matter the harm he causes. I'll leave it at that.

You don't believe in second chances?

Besides hockey is a business and he is a good enough player to be worth it for the AVS.

He's on his, like, fifth chance and most of us here would be rotting in jail if we did what he did.

 

[bbud]

Oil loss gain a point and hold game in hand nice )

 

[VanJack]

Oh Buffalo…

Buffalo goes up 4-0 in the first period.......then goes booed off the ice in the third, losing 5-4 in regulation, no less.

Something has to give in Buffalo.....they've tried everything, including bringing back Lindy Ruff behind the bench. So many top-10 draft picks, including two first overall picks....but just can't get it done.

Dude was found with a sex trafficking victim unconscious in his hotel room. If he was an average player his career would have been over on the spot.

 

[I Hart Conor Garland]

With Phoenix(don't) moving to Utah, do all teams now have "cap ceiling" owners?

 

[Rowlet]

Oilers lose
Makar goes pointless
Canucks get one against the #1 team in the league at the end of a long road trip
Hughes gets 1 point

Generally a good night

 

[AlainVigneaultsGum]

Laine scored!
