It's pretty easy to just spout out numbers like that without context but the truth of the matter is that Annunen is the one that got us back to .500 when George was playing like an ECHL turd and the first chance that Bednar got to bury Annunen after he had a bad start, he threw him under the bus through the media.

I believe that was at the start of November... and then the rest of his appearances after that were no good and no one can dispute that but Jared never threw George the way he did Annunen.

I gave plenty of context. Annunen getting Colorado back to .500 earlier this year isn't shining up an .872 SV%.

I don't think Annunen is very good BUT I do think Bednar's leash with him was absurdly short. To the point of it being insane how much he prefers Georgiev.

Annunen had 4 starts above .920, 3 starts between .850-.875, and 2 starts where he was god awful and got pulled.

Georgiev has had 4 starts above .920, 5 starts between .850-.875, and 5 starts where he has been below .85p to downright horrible in the .600s.

One guy got absolutely torn to shreds by his head coach in games following poor play, even after wins like against Ottawa.

The other guy has consistently heard from his coach post game that "Georgie is our guy" and "I like how Georgie battled."

It's a clear double standard that Jared has and I just don't get it. Georgiev isn't some franchise goalie who needs that level of coddling.
