GDT: Avs host Ducks Tuesday, March 16th 7pm MST/10pm AST/March 17th 4am EET/ 10am GMT

I can’t believe they have Miska signed for another year after this one too.

I’d buy him out.

There’s no sense in wasting a spot in the AHL when you could have a vet, or developmental guy playing.

It's f***ing bonkers.

 

[Metallo]

4 posts in a period and our goalie makes 3 saves on 7 shots.

If this was a movie script everyone would say it’s over-dramatic.

 

[Gigantor The Goalie]

Grubs needs the night off. I’m fine with barely playing the first line, G and Toews too. If they lose, they lose. Send Sakic a message.

Every player and coaching staff member should be blowing up his phone

 

[Avs425]

GRUUUUUUUU

 

[AVSfan2daMAX]

Grubauer in.

 

[missionAvs]

Wait Gru is in? Hahaha f*** you Miska. I hope to never see that guy in an Avs jersey again. Make a move Joe.

 

[NOTENOUGHJTCGOALS]

They have to play the backup at least a quarter of the games. Just to keep Gru fresh. Limp into the playoffs unless they find a starter.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Im back

I don’t like this... he’s over worked and this doesn’t help. Might salvage this game, for issues later.

 

[Ararana]

I’d bet all the gold in England that was miska’s last NHL action

 

[McJedi]

I’m at a loss for words. Miska was this awful last game. He’s been awful all season. We have an AHL team. Call up those guys. This should not have happened. Sakic and Bednar own this fiasco. Shame on them.

 

[Oblivion Beckons]

The blame still goes on people putting him in net. They gave Miska all the opportunities to show he can play and he has failed. Time to make a change. Getting a back up goalie shouldn't be very hard

Yup. Miska is what he is as others have said. He is an AHL goalie that firmly belongs in the AHL. He doesn't make personnel decisions.

 

[myperbixhurts]

So much for getting Grubauer some rest

 

[cinchronicity]

These points they’re giving up against Anaheim because Miska is starting is going to cost them in the standings.

Fairly simple math: If Miska blows this game, it is 6 points he has blown thus far this season. Those 6 points would have us sitting atop the division. He'll have as minimum of 6 games the rest of the way. That's 12 more points lost. I don't think any team can simply drop 18 points and expect to be a cup contender. Plus he will have to play an absolute minimum of 4 games on the way to the cup final. A contender simply cannot start a series essentially down 0 - 1.

 

[LieutenantDangle]

Congratulations on your star of the week grubs. Now get back in net because you have no support

 

[wayninja]

Posts vs Miska round 2, FIGHT

 

[Avs71]

Miska having to sit on the bench after that performance is the ultimate walk of shame.

 

[Foppa2118]

Avs risking injury and fatigue to Grubauer again because they don't have a real #2/3.

 

[McJedi]

I’d bet all the gold in England that was miska’s last NHL action

It sure better be his last ever NHL game in an Avs sweater.

 

[missionAvs]

I’d bet all the gold in England that was miska’s last NHL action

Please.

 

[S3rkie]

Now that I'm thinking about it, that sends a message to Sakic, too.

Bednar should let Gru put together a solid 10 min then put Miska back in to make sure Joe gets a great look at the difference.

 

[Avs_19]

Just a complete disaster. Grubauer can't even rest on his rare night off because of how badly Avs management has screwed this up.

At this point this is unfair to Bednar, the rest of the team, and even Miska.

 

[AVSfan2daMAX]

With goaltending, this game is still in reach. Miller is not good either.

 

[AvsWraith]

Gru's not gonna make it playing every game until deadline day.

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

LOVE the decision to bring in Grubauer.

Do not give up on what should be an easy 2 points.

I hope a cold Grubi doesn’t pull something though.
