Confirmed with Link: Avs re-sign Blackwood to 5-year × $5.25M AAV deal

[expatriatedtexan]

So Parkilla was supposed to fix Georgiev's weaknesses of shots up top left and right, his overcommitments laterally, and his ability to read the play? So he had to improve Georgie in almost every aspect of goaltending?

Not quite.

We wanted him to fix Georgiev's "inability" to read the play.

Other than that damn straight. That's what was being asked of Parkkila. (PS...I mispell his name all the time too, but I believe it is two K's and one L).

Georgiev has only allowed 4 goals in San Jose’s last 3 games.

He only played in 1 of those games, but still.

His stats for them so far:

Oh shit...

Blackwood has also allowed 4 goals in Colorado's last 3 games... We might have lost the trade.

Oh they were well known. Just go watch the video instead of acting like he was just a head case and that's all that matters. Start with the corners over both shoulders and his overreactions in reading plays. Not to mention his rebound control being nonexistent.

Of course that’s not all that matters, I specifically said there were many. But that’s definitely the biggest one.

At some point, though, you just have to admit that maybe just maybe the guy just isn’t good enough.

2nd place is still good...

Every goalie gets the colorado bump so I'm not too worried about blackwood being only slightly better than George. Losing Kovalenko sucks I thought he had potential

I took it as a compliment.

Wow a goalie that concede 2 at most on average

I'm starting to a get a special feeling about Blackwood. Like he was meant to be an Av.

I feel the same. I think they've had their eye on him a while. But he fits this team like a glove.

Grew up as an Avs fan influenced by his dad who is apparently an even bigger Avs fan.

‘Twas meant to be.

It's in his demeanor. The way he smiles and has carried himself in interviews. It's like he's been here forever. He fits like my favorite jeans used to back in the day.

IMO he's 3rd on the Vezina charts if the season ended today.


Hellebuyck and Gustavsson are having remarkable years, but I honestly do think Blackwood could catch them the way he's been playing since the trade.

There could be an outside argument to be made for HART consideration.

No there isn't, no matter how good he is.

Ok, if he goes on a 40 game shutout run, then.

Goalies don't win the hart, they rarely are even nominated.

Where Blackwood will struggle the most is keeping up or even catching up to Hellebuyck’s SO and record. If statistically they’re close, that’s where Hellebuyck will get the advantage.

Even though Blackwood played a bunch of games in SJ, probably half the people voting won’t even know that or won’t remember.

I like him.

 

[Ceremony]

Rushed contract.

 

[JoeSakic13]

Goes to show, if you ever want top tier goaltending on your squad; trade a Kovalenko.

Can people who don't rap please stop f***ing doing these cultural appropriation raps? My god. You never see these knobheads trying to bust out a sick choral rendition, or a jazz number. It's always rap, and its always f***ing shit. If you're going to rap you need rhythm, and 99.9% of the people...

What took you so long?

Georgiev has allowed 20 goals against in his last 5 games with his highest save percentage being an .882

Before San Jose, he was also doing this on a team as a favorite for the Cup…


Meanwhile, has Blackwood let in more than two goals since he has come to this team? The difference between Blackwood and Georgiev is astounding. The confidence he has given the rest of the team is very noticeable and one of the best things he has brought here along with his play.

Nope. He has allowed 2 goals five times and 1 goal four times in 9 games he has played with the Avs. This could end up being another great move by CMac, signing Blackwood early to 5.25, because if he continues to play like he has so far with the Avs, he’ll be worth more.

 

[Gatorbait19]

Was Blackwood considered for team Canada? I assume he was overlooked being on the sharks and only posting average (at best) numbers last year. But with him playing the best hockey of his career, he shouldn’t just be on the team, he should be the starter. Sucks the rosters were announced when they were.

Wanted him when he was Jersey. ITs always been there for him just a matter of putting it together. Really hope hes legit for this team.
