Actually, I thought that Nuke in the 3rd period brought what was needed to ice. He played physical, used his size and fought through checks and obstructions. It's to bad he did net one. But it showed me how little physically is in the cupboard with this team.

Not bad for a 1st outing IMO.
I mean, I don't remember ever saying the guy wasn't good at hockey

I don't like that he says that stuff about Annunen but won't say the same thing about Georgiev when it happens to him.

I know everyone reacts differently to criticism and he has reasons to do that but I still don't like it
I don't really give a f*** how Bednar addresses his goalies, just be consistent with it. This is the NHL, Annunen himself knows he wasn't good enough. Bednar beating him with the media isn't going to break him (or at least it shouldn't).

But I've NEVER seen Bednar do this with Georgiev. Not to this extent. We've seen plenty of praises though, even sometimes when they were not really warranted.

**** Bednar he’d never say that about Fourgiev. The third goal doesn’t happen if Girard doesn’t turn it over in his own zone. If that was Fourgiev in net he’d be saying the D can’t turn it over there

Because Georgiev is a mental midget, and he can't take the criticism. It started last season with Bedsy having to handle his shitty play with kid gloves.

Bednar has players he doesn't like. He seemed like he hated Z, had absolutely zero patience or willingness to work with him. Sutter put in work and got some solid seasons out of the dude. Bednar for some reason just has no time for Annunen... and I kind of understand. Justus isn't playing great. It's hard to nurse along two broke goalies. And this is why management really should be doing everything they can within reason to help take care of the issue for Jared.

Remember when we all hated Georgiev, now we want him back asap
No not really. Didn’t think Annunen was worse than Fourgiev’s bad games.

Until we get Blackwood I still want him to start. It’s one bad game. Fourgiev has 5 bad games and Bednar kept going back to him

Has Bednar ever been this hard on Georgiev?

I will continue to believe that George has some compromising photos of Bednar or something. There's no other way.
Nope. Not sure why George continues to let in beach balls and not a peep. But Annunen has one rough start, and gets thrown under the bus.

That's easiest way to lose the locker room. You can't single out guys but give equally as shitty guys a free pass. The players see it.

Personally hope Bednar is gone by Christmas him and his coaching staff's act has gone stale.

No don't want either guy. It's clear they are both complete ass. How many times this year have we made it past 5 shots without a goal going in, maybe twice? It's a f***ing joke.

It's hard for a team to even get into games when you basically start the game off, down 1 or possibly even 2 within 3 mins.

I'm sorry what? How is this not comparable to Georgies worst games?

I mean let’s not pretend like we played well and only lost due to goaltending. They played bad also.

Georgiev was letting shots in from the corners and losing games we should’ve won.

We were not the better team tonight and goaltending did not lose the game

For as bad as Georgiev has ever been I'm pretty sure that was a first:

FFS, CMac gave Bednar the option with Kähkönen. What did Bednar do with it? f***ing nothing.

At this point, the only solution I can see is somehow get Gibson at 50% (or double retained, even better), and ship Georgiev away

Not just to make the salary work, but to prevent Bednar from playing him
