GDT: Game 1 - Avs @ Knights - Rockstar Rookie Revue - 8PM

[Markster]

It's not good when your opponent's shooting percentage is close to Steph Curry's career average from 3.

 

[TheGrimReaper]

winning is so over rated

 

[henchman21]

There's no way that backhand should go in.

This team is in for a world of hurt

I’d let tonight slide for Annunen. Cold into a game where the Avs are pressing… issues should be expected. With that Annunen’s weakness are going to have to be overcome and he hasn’t shown that yet. We’re building the track with the trains speeding at us.

 

[the_fan]

Hey we could've been Vancouver or Edmonton...

We have allowed more goals than both

 

[The Abusement Park]

Avs were an elite defensive team back then. Look at how he plays behind a non elite team in Seattle. Georgiev level.

xG isn't perfect... But Vegas has scored 7 on an xG of 1.17...

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

Avs got nothing beyond the 1st unit and Middlestadt. Had a whole summer to make some changes but no, they are betting on Nuke and Landy to make a difference.

Who conceived this plan anyways?

 

[Arto Kilponen]

What’s Sorokin up to these days ? I kid I know we can’t afford 8,000,000$ :-(

Well, he is injured to begin with.

 

[sethro109]

Even getting the big 3 back in mint condition wouldn't change the fate of this team with these goalies.

I'm not sold on Annunen being shit... Yet. We know what George is, I think we just gotta ride with Cheeks until we know.

 

[Balthazar]

Canucks were leading 4-1 and are now trailing 5-4

 

[Muffin]

We have allowed more goals than both

Still beats losing 0-6 or blowing a 3-0 lead...

Numbers are not as drastically different as you’re painting them.

 

[twostroke2023]

Foununen?

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Wonder what Lou would take for Varly?

 

[LurkerMcgee]

Maybe it’s good to get embarrassed this early in the year….


…so it take the sting of being a f***ing embarrassment for 82

I think Lehkonen is going to be pretty good too.

Annunen wasn't very good at the AHL level either. He's not what people here think he is.

 

[sethro109]

Annunen wasn't very good at the AHL level either. He's not what people here think he is.

But is he better than George? I think yes.

I don't think he's anywhere near as bad as Georgie, but he also hasn't really been tested with consistent minutes and he's probably not as good as Frankie was which still isn't really a great look.

Hoping to be pleasantly surprised but is Bednar even going to play Annunen.

True

Annunen is shit. Just like Georgiev. Neither is NHL elite much less NHL competent.

They aren't going to win you a Cup.

 

[LurkerMcgee]

Wonder what Lou would take for Varly?

At this point he knows we are desperate so see ya Makar and mackinnon in a package deal. We will also eat 99% salary on both

"Slightly better than fourgie" is still better than fourgie.

I miss Frank the tank.

Durrrrr

 

[Arto Kilponen]

There's very few Colorado-players who were defensively good tonight.
