GDT: Avs @ Habs

[the_fan]

Oh. Ok. I guess that's enough for "Blackwood got us the W". He sucked tonight.

let’s just call this the Georgiev wins

 

[Vaslof]

He's one of the reasons behind the severity of that breakdown.

I know he got sick recently but Blackwood hasn't been good for at least 3 games now, hopefully he'll get back on track soon.

Not really. He's at fault for saves not made, but it's the players who completely broke down for 5 minutes or so.

The boys are going to have some fun tonight.

Scott Wedgewood is our starting goaler.

Change my mind.

 

[Metallo]

Blackwood not his usual self. Is he still weak because of the bug he caught? Let him rest and give games to Wedgewood.

Maybe Blackwood is becoming the Anti-4Giev. He doesn't allow 4 in the first 10 shots, but in the last 10.

They should only feel shame. Fun tomorrow

Makar and Toews were an absolute train wreck defensively. Made every single easy play as hard as humanly possible.

Bednar not using his timeout after the third goal was also putrid as hell.

Awful stuff all around. No way someone can feel good after that.

Nelson, Coyle, Malinski, Colton were bright spots for me

I can't. He is playing way better than BBW and that's a problem for us.

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

He's the f***ing reason we were in that deep shit.

Not an excuse for Blackie but the play of the Avs in their own zone during that period was terrible. Malinski repeatedly slapping at the puck w/o looking where team mates were. Clearing passes placed exactly on the sticks of incoming Habs forwards charging the slot. Puck fumbles in their feet and along the boards galore. Avs could not clear the zone with any degree of control.

Always go with the HOT goaltender. ALWAYS.

 

[Muffin]

Blackwood strikes me as a goalie who needs lots of shots to be in the game.

 

[Metallo]

Mack 1G 4A in his last 7gms and he looks worse than that.

I understand he's our goaler long term, but this playoff run he needs to be on the bench. Scott needs to be out starter, he plays so much better with fewer shots as we're crushing teams for 90% of the game. He's our Osgood.

 

[sethro109]

I wonder if Blackwood is finally feeling the pressure of meaningful games again? This could be a real problem for us. In SJ he would just go out there and have fun, but now with us down the stretch with him knowing the team needs the points, the walls might be coming down on him a bit. I hope that's not the case, and it's just a rut, but the Avs have never had luck with a goalie since Roy. And it's just better for me to assume the worst.

On this one I simply cannot stand on your side.

Malinski was in a panic in the 3rd. That concerns me.

I like the guy. He has a tremendous shot and moves the puck well.... when he's given room.

lol so the 10-15 mins of the Avs players playing junior hockey had nothing to do with that? Come on man terrible coverage no one take there man. The habs were able to walk down the middle of the ice on top of Blackwood at least 5-6 times couple ended up as goals you can’t let that happen specially up 4-1

He did kinda look like not having much energy during an interview before the game, so maybe he’s still dealing with something. Or is he always like that during interviews? I’m not too sure

 

[the_fan]

Random thought: Can you change goalies during a shootout? Like if it goes long and your starter is exhausted.

I believe so

I think the entire team looked like wet shit in the 3rd
