GDT: AVS @ Sharks 10/20/24 6:00PM MNT (Yet Another Emergency GDT)

[Colorado Avalanche]

This is Bednar we're talking about. Kaapo could start next game and get a shutout, but neither he or Annunen will see another game until George gets 4 or 5 more.

I agree with this.

He sees Georgiev with the highest upside/potential so he forces George to play and hope he performs even small part of that potential/upside.

And yet I bet Ryan Graves would have a negative +/- with this goaltending

If Georgiev starts the next game Bednar has officially lost it

Bednar knows Annunen isn't going to cut it, but Kahkonen at least has a bit higher ceiling.

 

[Grigowski]

Was this the first game we got solid goaltending from start to finish?....

Oh look, good things can happen... Even with a team half injured......

Thank god we beat the Sharks and Anaheim (somehow) to get something on the board.....

Still not sold on our goaltending and we need quality bodies back... The sooner, the better.....

 

[Arto Kilponen]

So now since we know that Annunen isn't good enough (how many quotes you want from GDTs?) either, are Avalanche looking for a trade and what kind of trade it would be?

2.71xGA.
Only 1 goal.
Justus did good. Sure that one goal was a stinker, but Fourgie woulda let in 3 stinkers. The stats don't lie.

Can't wait to see 5giev come in next game and allow 2 goals off the first 3 shots of the game. Bednar's post game "George is our guy".....

If it's any consolation, George is "our guy" in the exact same way that Grubauer was our guy and Kuemper was our guy. I can't see any scenario where we re-sign him and, unlike those other two jokers, it won't be because he's asking for a raise and too many years..

Bednar obviously knows he has a head case starter and his only choice is to pump his tires, tread lightly, do the positive reinforcement dance. it’s an unenviable situation. I fully expect that he privately wants to shoot him into the sun, but has to play along. The only potential knock on Jared with regards to Georgiev is that he might still really believe that he can fix him.

I dunno… with rumors about Gibson and Blackwood floating, the Kak pickup, Annunen starting last night — the plot seems to be thickening. But they can’t afford to be transparent about it in case they get stuck with Wackadoo
