GDT: G22: Avs (12-9-0) @ Lightning (10-7-2) - Mon Nov 25 @ 5 PM MST

He wasn't mad himself, he was mad at his team that left him out to dry on that one particular goal.

That's a shit look when you're consistently giving up bad goals and your team doesn't show you up.

If we're being honest with ourselves, he's been left out to dry many times this year. That was not an isolated incident. Our D has been good at limiting opportunities as a whole, but when they do break down, they are leaving the goalies little to no chance.

George has been giving up bad goals, absolutely, but it doesn't mean he can't be frustrated when others shit the bed in front of him. Rail on him for his poor play, not on him showing his emotions out there. It shows he cares, and he's not checked out.

 

[RECKLESS]

I say that's much better than the dead-eye no emotion look he's been giving off alot lately.

How can you be a goalie on a contender in the top league in the world and not get angry seeing this happen over and over again? We already know Georgie will show his frustration at times and blow a fuse. This first quarter of the season has been aggravating in many ways and the team has made it worse by making lots of terrible decisions and constantly getting pinned in their own zone. I can't defend Georgie's play, but the occasional eruption is understandable the way the same things keep happening over and over. Also, he was the only player who showed any emotion at all last night. The whole team should be screaming and shouting after that pitiful showing.

How could you forget about Wood trying to decapitate bednar?

They're despondent from the never ending sub-900 goaltending circus they've had to play in front of for going on 5 years now. Georgiev is getting emotional because even he is aware of how tenuous of a grasp he has on an NHL career at this point.

I completely disagree with this.

Sure, he can be frustrated with the play of his teammates. But at the same time, you keep that shit to yourself. And the reason he should keep it to himself is because he’s paying just as poorly. You can’t criticize others for the same things that you aren’t doing. If Georgiev was playing well and just getting let down by his teammates, sure, vent. But when he’s letting in shit goals all the time, goals on the first 2 or 3 shots, weak goals, etc, you don’t complain. You keep it quiet until you’ve demonstrated you’re doing your own job before complaining about others.

He can erupt. But do it privately.

That's fine, I am cool with someone not liking his antics. But I will say that for one, we don't really know why he blew up - he might have been mad at the give away, or he might have just been pissed to be scored on again, or he could have been mad at himself. He's definitely done this before and I don't think it was a big deal to anyone here. I am just glad someone was demonstratively pissed, even if it was a goalie in a glass house.

 

[Ceremony]

I've had more enjoyable ass poundings than this.

 

[Metallo]

Q:“What do you think of your team's execution coach?”
A:“I'm in favor of it.”

 

[Ceremony]

While I'm here, goalie interference has jumped the shark. I don't see why Tampa's goal last night was fine but Drouin's was disallowed last week.

Problem is, the team only rallies around and supports him when he constantly, constantly, constantly shits the bed behind them

If everybody slammed their sticks around everytime Georgiev let another puck trickle through him for absolutely no reason at all, there'd be no sticks left on the team

Guy can get as emotional as he wants but the team hasn't left him out to dry nearly as much as he has let them down first. And by first, as we all know, its often even the first shot on goal

Put your own f***in pants on George

It just seems to point to Georgiev's rather fragile mental state, whether it's blowups like this or him smacking Malinski in the leg or stretches of play where he simply can't stop anything, I'm just over the antics. Goalies are rather erratic by nature but he's on a whole other level.

Yeah and we are stuck with him for now. I hope there’s a way out of the situation this season, time’s a wastin’. And again, I would have forgiven anyone on the team last night for breaking something or throwing a fit, that’s really why it didn’t bother me. If my wife hadn’t been sleeping I’d probably have broken something. I’ve never felt worse about the Avs watching a game.

Yeah 100% agree. If he’s just mad at himself, no issues from me whatsoever.

As a goalie, if I haven’t been playing well for a few games, or been letting in bad goals, I’m VERY VERY careful of how I speak to teammates. Getting angry at them or voicing displeasure is a very easy way to get them pissed off at you.

My alternate theory on why he’s so mad is that he’s been reading Aarif Dean’s articles on CHN where he consistently refers to him as “the russian netminder.”
