Eichel even celebrated like "that seriously went in? Wow"

Brotherman better book his ticket back to Russia while he can still score a holiday discount.

I don't think George would play in Russia if he left the NHL. He'd probably play in Finland.

Georgiev for an extra year? Yea, he could destroy that locker room with his attitude and play. Shoudn't poison everyone, just get rid of him ASAP if you're SJS.

Yeah, he's a poison pill. You don't let that fker infect your young players.

They're more likely to send him through waivers, and then send him home by the TDL lol.

Not even close, but I did read the last five pages of the GDT instead of three, and I'm buzzing on the goalies.

Blackwood top 5 in SV% with only a short time here is just fkn awesome.

Huge weight lifted off the team and the fans.

Cmac is making moves, we have the best goalie tandem in the league, more help coming from IR and only bottom of the roster holes to fill.

It's fkn go time, and we're all out of bubble gum.

Rowdy Roddy Piper!!! I'm in!!

You guys know Blackwood sucks. He's really bad.

I'd take Georgiev over Backwood, personally.

But cMac is an idiot so here we gooo!

Personally. I'd take Georgiev over Blackwood. Georgiev is a man of extremes, he's either terrible or he's pretty damn good.

Blackwood is just terrible.

There's the cMac we know!

What a f***ing fool.

So cMac just traded Kovalenko + 2nd to, AT BEST, make a lateral move in net.

Neat.

I can't wait to see what shit goaltender the Avs trade for next when they find out Blackwood is terrible.

I genuinely don’t know what is worse; that he's knowingly lying to everyone or that he actually believes that

You were pretty clearly the most upset about this trade. You’ve been eerily quiet about this and Blackwoods signing since December 9th. I’m curious to know if having watched him play on the team has changed your opinion?

Still prefer to have Georgiev back?

Not even suggesting you’re wrong. Blackwood could turn into a pumpkin overnight. I doubt it but possible of course. Just curious on if your opinion has shifted?

Full transparency - my interest in the Avs has been waining year after year since the cup win and management's dumb ass decisions and that's led me to be on these boards less and less, hence the significant decrease in posts here. I believe their window has been closed since Kadri walked and, baring some unprecedented superhero shit from their stars, they'll be a mediocre 1st or 2nd round out for the next 5-8 years before they accept it's time to rebuild. I don't believe this core gets to another cup final.

And no, I still fully believe Blackwood is a bottom of the league starter and a lateral move to Georgiev on the ice. Why cMac panicked and gave him an extension (5 years!!!) so early is just another sign that he's lost as a GM. I get the locker room issues with Georgiev, and don't disagree they needed to get him out, but thinking Blackwood is the solution to competing is laughable.

But hey, the Avs have been notoriously good and protecting mid goalies and making them look good for stretches which causes optimistic fans, and lousy GMs, to overreact on them.

Your opinion of Blackwood reads like an eastern based fan who only saw him play for the Devils
Oh, and that's a cute built in excuse at the end there if he keeps playing anything remotely close to how he's started here.

Hey they're all in for McKenna.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

NO, YOU DELETE!

 

[Muffin]

Lmao at the first few pages. I would've paid a 1st to not have to watch Fourgiev play another game in an Avs jersey. Watching Oilers fans freak out on Skinner every night is a reminder what we were like 2 weeks ago.

 

[Pokecheque]

To their farm team via waivers?

What crazy ass NHL team would trade for Georgiev and believe he can help them make the playoffs in 2025 the year of our Lord?

I have faith there is a GM out there dumb enough.

"Wait, it says here he led the league in wins last season!"

Lmao 100% some GM thinks he's a "winner"
