I loved Red as a broadcast person, but not my cup of tea. But who cares who thinks which one was cuter? If they are any good, they leave.

Not OK for the official Avs account to call him "Mack"
Also we can see the SJ mask behind him. Come on now.
Who ever runs that account is just dumb. I'm beyond even believing they're smart enough to be trolling at this point.

It's pathetic that they still can't get him new gear.

Who was it that played with a white mask? At this point I'm not sure it's the Avs. Might be some superstition thing.

I've liked what I've seen since we've acquired him, but I'm still a bit skeptical, as he played his best hockey in a high-shot-volume, low-pressure environment in San Jose and has never played in an NHL playoff game
That being said, I hope his play in San Jose was a sign of his maturation (goalies peak later after all), and he provides the goaltending we need to win

Pretty funny dude got a 5 year extension with the Avs before he got an Avs mask.
Cmac could have done this with Kuemper and not wasted time and assets. Pathetic
The off season posts look like they pass the phone around a home for the developmentally disabled.
*Edit LGRed gave us some good gifs.
He was good early then struggled with injury issues for a couple years by his own account. He talked about finding his game on the other side of dealing with that. Stat sheet lines up with it.

Even more hilarious is that 4giev got a new mask and then was shipped off like 6 games later

I love this deal. We got the Woods in net for the next 2 seasons, and I could even see Wedgy being given a 1-year deal after this too
But what about Ilya Nabokov? Man, f*** Ilya Nabokov. Right now he's not better than either goalies we have, and until he is, he can hang out in the AHL. Nobody should expect him to be handed anything because of where he was drafted, he needs to earn that shit

if Wedgy keeps playing like this we can kiss good bye to him, but at least he has one more season.
Things looking very good!

Kuemper was 32 at the time he signed his 5 x 5.25m deal. And has been trending down ever since.
Blackwood just turned 28 and is arguably just entering his prime years.
Good point
Not to mention Kuemper's eye injury made him way worse, so there was a lot of risk included in the deal.

Have you watched Darcy play post cup win? Even then age wise Kuemper was not a fit at all.
