GDT: Avs @ Stars | 7pm MT | Black (and Bruised) Friday Emergency

[Tommy Shelby]

Another clearly lost game where Bednar is gonna run the top 5 guys into the ground needlessly

 

[LOFIN]

Georgiev failed, Annunen failed, Kahkonen failed. I think the answer is obvious. Recall Trent Miner.

He got one f***ing game. And was actually solid after the first period.

But Bednar decided it was not to be.

Georgiev failed, Annunen failed, Kahkonen failed. I think the answer is obvious. Recall Trent Miner.

Kahk got one game! If Bednar had the same mentality for his shitty 6th/7th defensemen as he had for his goaltending he might've been given at least a chance to show something.

We have three guys in the top-10 for scoring. There's only so much you can ask. Sometimes you need a depth goal. Sometimes you need to win a game 2-1 or 3-2. This team can't.

I mean Nate has gone like 7 or 8 games or something like that without a goal

 

[sethro109]

We should trade Bednar+2nd for Roy.

 

[AvsMakar08]

Legendary rubbish performance by Georgie. Every time the puck goes around his feet, it's an auto goal.

Yep, we need a new goaler soon.

 

[AnimalMother73]

How about the deadline the year before that? Or this offseason?

Yeah I’m sorry he’s had more misses than hits and Landeskog’s health has hamstrung this team

 

[Bender]

Also, Pete DeBoer just f***ing owns Bednar.

PDB makes adjustments during periods in games against us and we can never respond.

Yep.

That f***er definitely has the perfect Anti-Bednar system.

From what I can tell,.Bednar doesn't know what to do. The Avs have to play his system perfectly to have a chance. Our special teams are insanely predictable and have been for a long time.

Who you gonna grab? Boudreau? The problem with removing Bednar is you're getting rid of a known thing and with the track record on coaches this club as had, we could do a lot worse.

IMO this is a roster problem. Bednar coaches the way we want to play. The roster isn't deep or skilled enough, nor can it stop pucks.

If Bednar goes, I want David Carle.

 

[Tommy Shelby]

We should trade Bednar+2nd for Roy.

Roy isn't a good coach

Shit...get Varly to come back with St. Patrick. He's not the answer as a starter, but at least I like him.

 

[The Merchant]

I'm just saying, yeah, MacK has cooled off for sure. But he's the least of this team's problems

 

[sethro109]

Roy isn't a good coach

He's the reason we got MacK. That's good enough for me.

 

[AllAboutAvs]

The team can. The goalies can't. The team would need to win 5-4 or 6-5. That is extremely hard to do consistently.

 

[Lonewolfe2015]

From what I can tell,.Bednar doesn't know what to do. The Avs have to play his system perfectly to have a chance. Our special teams are insanely predictable and have been for a long time.

This one has baffled me for awhile. We have a new assistant coach like every year or two and yet the specisl teams are mostly the same. Head coach isn't supposed to be that involved with it. Something is wrong in the coach's room around Bednar from that perspective. Dude needs a tactician assistant with experience, not nepo former grinders/journeymen.

I'm still legit pissed. Kähkönen had been the better goalie compared to Georgiev until they came. I can't for the life of me understand wherever the f*** @henchman21 or some others pull the opinion that Georgiev has the higher ceiling. No he f***ing doesn't, and didn't. Kähkönen has been better than Georgiev in multiple levels of competition.

But too bad we never found out, because Bednar had no time for him. And too bad Bednar also hates Annunen.

What a f***ing disaster.

 

[chet1926]

I mean Nate has gone like 7 or 8 games or something like that without a goal

Which shows exactly why Bednar should be fired. It's 29 doesn't carry we lose, there is no strategy what so ever.

 

[AvsFan29]

Raise the puck

 

[Avs2022]

If we fired bednar, who would be interim?

Quenville, sitting around waiting for that call.

 

[sethro109]

In all seriousness though, we really should look into firing Nolan Pratt. The PK has been abysmal for a long time now. And it's not just a personnel issue.

 

[AvsWraith]

Lehky!

I appreciate your enthusiasm, and I really like Landeskog. It's unfortunate.

I think this org is kidding itself. Look around the league. How many other orgs have similar challenges of a mate fvcking your org into the playoffs, twice, a captain who can't play a game for 3 years, a goalie cf that spans 2+ years and shows no sign, or willingness to try and make better.. 2c, we don't need no stinkin' 2c... and on and on.

Let's just say given the multiples of challenges in this org.. is this admin group capable of even fixing them, does this group project confidence that they can apply enough bandaids and mirrors to dig out? Fixing = a decent somewhat consistent product.

I have scant confidence the current higher up mucky mucks with the current rosters can fix this. Instead of making hard choices, the mucky mucks kid themselves. And all universe talent gets frittered away. What a waste. Fvcking hope I am all wrong.

Back into my corner, again.

And... Lecky scores. Temporarily feel better.

Nate has gone cold exactly when Rantanen was taken aside from him. But I guess we shouldn't re-sign this guy?

 

[Dr Amazing]

Georgiev is the JT Compher for goalies.
