Whats the deal with G?

Realistically if the need/want to cut the cap hit G is one of the top candidates. However, he is a good player and not some bum like Georgiev.

@AvStock is actually Alex DeBrincat.

Buddy is straight up f***ing jacked

 

[Miri]

Kiviranta channeled his inner Kivirantanen tonight with those goals. More of the same please and i might forgive him for that seventh game.

 

[Metallo]

Kiwi being Kiwi with 2 goals and Mack providing depth scoring, nice!

funny thing is, that huge cap almost fit

 

[The Merchant]

Good Lord man, chill out. If he’s as high on Georgiev as you seem to think he is, do you really think he would’ve given Annunen the start tonight? You’re reading way too much into an innocuous answer to an innocuous question.


Georgiev was mostly fine against the Ducks.

From a much more sober perspective, you're definitely right

 

[Grigowski]

3 wins in a row.......

 

[henchman21]

Juice won us a game we probably didn't deserve to win. Feels good.

 

[RECKLESS]

I want to see Juice start the next one with Kähkönen as the back up.

Look at all those PP merchants

 

[The Abusement Park]

Bullshit

This is the NHL, and this is supposed to be a good team. I dont think Bednar does it for that purpose

So Bednar should just alienate him and trash him publicly because you think he sucks?

 

[RECKLESS]

If and when George starts the next time, the team needs to put an enormous effort in to get him a shutout.

Then sell him.

 

[AvBuff]

It's an interesting situation. Avs management - for better of worse - is committed to the proposition that with the talent on the roster, they don't need stellar goaltending to win. Just adequate goaltending. Hell, with the salary cap and the talent they have to shell out for, that approach may simply be an economic necessity. So they won't overpay for it. They won in 20222 with Darcy "the Cyclops" Kuemper and his back up, so that's the strategy - love it or hate it.

But if the "It's Raining Nen" combo of Annunen and Kahkonen is simply adequate (or better) for a while, all of a sudden AG's salary creates a nice opportunity to create some cap space - surely there's team out there willing to trade for him.

You should know by now that Bednar doesn't trash players publicly. It's actually shocking when he does call a player out because its so rare. He knows as much as the rest of us that it's about managing egos as much as it is X's and O's.

I dunno if you want to see him do what DeBoer and Quenneville do with goalies, but I don't think that would be helpful here.

There's a level somewhere there between "trashing the player in public" and giving ringing endorsement when the player doesn't deserve it.

Who gives a shit what he says publicly? The press isn't where legit criticisms should be made. That does no one any good.

 

[Pokecheque]

Not really.

First goal he couldn’t find the puck in his pass

Second goal was a terrible rebound from a long distance wrist shot

Third goal was from a bad angle.

He was still fine. Not great, maybe not even good. But not uproariously bad. I don't blame Bednar for trying to pump the tires on both his goalies. Nothing will be gained by thrashing him in public.

I wouldn't call it a "ringing endorsement," he simply said the goaltending was at an acceptable level the last three games.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

The Avs are down 2 goals in the first 10 minutes if 5giev played tonight.

And five goals down before the game starts.

LMAO he just absolutely refuses to give Juice the flowers he deserves. It really boggles the mind

It's just different man management. George needs pampering.

 

[Ceremony]

Quenneville do with goalies

No thanks I'm not over the last time.

 

[Pokecheque]

No thanks I'm not over the last time.

I'm still insanely bitter over some of the shit Q pulled during his time as Avs bench boss.
