He's going to have good games but he's never going to be reliable.

Calling him solid is a stretch. The first goal was a bad one, I don't care how much he was screened. The second one was questionable. Third, great direct. No chance. Fourth, again, not his fault.
That's still one softie and a questionable one. We f***ing can't have that.

Tkachuk acknowledging they can’t play a run and gun offensive style with the Avs.
Panthers are at their best when they’re slowing the game down, grinding the forecheck and working the cycle. Too many quick zone exits for the Avs tonight which will be suicide for almost any team against a relatively healthy Avs squad.

On the flip side look at all the goals that the Avs score. Weak goaltending all over the place.
We know that the "Avs game" is 7-4 style of game. Good for the regular season.

Just because the others are shit doesn't excuse us. I'm not expecting a Shesterkin or Hellebuyck level performance here, where the goalies constantly steal games. Just stop the f***ing low danger shots for crying out loud. It's an odd day if we need a goalie to steal us one. But without a full lineup with Landeskog, we can't start every other game one goal down because Georgiev (or Annunen) let's in a goal that is softer than a Spanish soccer player.
Like I said, I don't really care if Georgiev can steal us a game when he's "in the zone", if he allows softies when he's not. We need to establish a standard here, let's stop the soft goals first before talking about goalie preventing high danger ones.

IMO a good way to help our bad goaltenders is not shitting the bed in the first minute like the Avs do all the f***ing time.
I don't know what the f***ing problem is but the first minute is always bad with the other team cycling and putting pressure on the Avs D like they are trailing by 1 goal in a life or death playoff situation.
What happened tonight before the first goal was really bad, the Avs were all over the place and lost possession twice in their zone.

Damn I cannot stand Georgiev.
Glad to see Drouin score some goals, especially the first one was great as he was battling in front of the net.

With everyone starting to pick up their game and we’re getting that depth we’ve been waiting for, all this team needs is someone little better than Georgiev in net. We don’t really need someone much better, just need a goalie who can put up at least 900 save percentage consistently and we’ll be golden

We put up 7 goals in a win against the defending Stanley Cup champions in their own barn and the league’s leading scorer, Nathan MacKinnon, had one measly assist on an empty net goal.
That’s some secondary scoring to be proud of. Didn’t need to be carried by MacK.

I would have laughed out loud if the big hat was still missing and EJ was wearing it in this photo.

Okay...so I wanted to realistically see who might be available to upgrade at goalie. So I went to capwages website. Opened a list of active players. Limitied it by those whose contract end in 2025 and play goalie. Then sorted it by save percentage and I think I found our answer....
I hate everything about capwages website except how they display the team cap info.

Did not see the game at all as I was with friends for my birthday diner. Quite pleased with the result. Beating the SC champs on the road is great but you wouldn't know it reading this thread. Enjoy it boys and girls.

These goals in the first five minutes are some of the funniest stuff on earth. It's seriously a guarantee at this point lol.

It should be Vejmelka. If Utah believes in Ingram then I think he could be available.

Girard impressive again! Clutch man for this win.
Love the secondary scoring coming in waves. Well needed, well done.

I really think this team can make some noise this season. We just need Mitts to start to gel with his linemates, get a goalie, and find a good solid D partner for Malinski.

Required Acquisitions(in order of importance):
1. Goalie
2. LHD to pair with Malinski
3. Maybe a 4C as I’m not sold on Ivan and Kelly shouldn’t be playing C
Factors:
- Better goaltending no matter who’s between the pipes
- Top 6 consistently dominating teams
- Manson finding his game in the playoffs
- 3rd line not being awful defensively when Colton comes back
- PK improving, will likely happen if our goaltending can get better
- Nuke not getting caught
- Landeskog coming back and able to contribute in some fashion
- Health. Health. Health.
