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

[LurkerMcgee]

Moose wasted his hatty in this game, won't get another one all season.

It’s a contract year. He’ll lead the league in hattys

 

[Richard Doll]

We just need a Mikko yell to McFarland "How you like me now!" as a throw back to Kirk Cousins.

 

[tucker3434]

Well, I didn’t get to see much of the game, but 8 goals on 21 shots sure does feel familiar.

 

[Tommy Shelby]

What an absolutely garbage performance, even by 4giev's awful standards.

Only one goal was "screened" and the rest were him getting beat clean.

I hate how many chances he's going to get, and how management didn't unload him in the offseason.

We could have had a Stolarz and Wedgewood platoon for LESS money than 4giev makes, and they wouldn't be as bad, either. Sure they'd have their ups and downs, but at this point we win games despite Fourgie, while the other two have actually stolen games before.

 

[Ceremony]

I don't understand how our goalies manage to get beat at their near post as much as they do. I hate the goal Fourgiev gives up where he looks like he's ducking out the way while sticking his elbows out like a chicken then looks surprised when it's behind him. I hate him.

It actually looked like he was scared of the puck. Mindblowing.

 

[AvsCOL]

What's even crazier is that two seasons ago he went 40-16-6 with a .919sv%

Most Avs fans, myself included, thought we had our goalie of the future.

 

[Lonewolfe2015]

The Avs system defense of old is gone. They can't afford a team that's deep enough to protect the goalies anymore. They need goalies that can win games themselves, or at least not lose games.

 

[Miri]

Well, we played without our 3 top-six wingers, so the loss was kind of expected, but 7 goals on 21 shots? TF? Our goalies would be advised to have better success rate than one in sixties percentage, if we want to win some games next time.

BTW, anyone having issues with HF lately? Like i can post at one page, like here page 50 of this thread, but loading the page 51 seem to log me off and therefore cant post there (no can i log on as some security error message pops-up).

 

[RECKLESS]

On a positive note.

Mikko will be a beast this season.
You could see right from puck drop that he was moving better. It's common knowledge that he worked on his skating this summer and boy if/when he has finetuned his frame to be more affective, get outta the way.
Respect the elite athlete!

I always have issues with the site. It blows

He also wants that money so he’s trying. Once the check of an extension clears. He will Bambi again jk I dont know he might care

 

[Raucherhusten]

Hey, at least we didn't lose 6-0 ... at home.

F*ck them Oilers! And f*ck them Pens. I actually like them a bit, Pens i mean, but still, F*CK THEM!

Oh, and f*ck 4+giev. Jeez, what a mess.

I'm good, thank you. Off-Season was too short. I need 3 more month of nothing or i'll die this season.

There were signs there that it was a pure mirage. It became clear in the Seattle series that he wasn’t working out well. It was brushed off or excused, but that’s the spot where the oh shit really sunk in.

Even in the Seattle series Georgiev still managed a .914 sv%

Its been all downhill from there with no end in sight.

They wanted to play for us the most?

 

[Hennessy]

Score 4 goals while only giving up 21 shots against? That's awesome.

Save percentage can be a mirage… in nearly all of those games, something like 5 or 6, he gave up a soft goal. Just one he shouldn’t give up in a game. That’s simply hard to overcome consistently when the margins are so tight. In the end, the Avs couldn’t. It was a sign he didn’t have what it took prior to his full mental break down.

I still dont understand how he made it to the ASG . Yeah !!! he was the goalie with the most win !! big deal .

This is the same as last season , at least 1-2 goals per 10 shots each game. He's playing scare to let goals in and the team in front of him are probably thinking the same thing . He's giving a goal or two in his first 10 shots , then arround shots 12-14 it's an automatic goal each game , rinse and repeat , after 15 shots it's usually at least 3-4 goals in.

Georgiev was better than Annunen yesterday

.688 vs .500

I don’t get how you can so deeply defend George all the time. Like this… as if there is any defense on a guy saving less than 70% where he gave up more goals than high danger shots he faced.

 

[jani]

• Mikko had some jump
• Fourgiev and beyond (ah shit, here we go again)
• Mack own zone very bad
• Seeing LOC out there backchecking and stuff warms my heart

I don't defend Georgiev, I shit on the Avs for not caring about goaltenders. What's happening is on management, not on the shitty goaltender that they traded for.

Georgiev should have gotten the Campbell treatement last year. Instead he started 63 games, the highest in the league.

That's on the f***ing team, not on the broken man.

From the outside, it looks like constant defense of George. Every turn (seemingly but likely hyperbole), something isn’t his fault. It might be management. Might be Bednar. Might be whatever scrub made a mistake. It might be the team sucks. It’s almost never George. It is right to something else to deflect away from how bad George is playing. Even the you don’t get better goaltending for the money line… many teams have paid less and are getting better goaltending than the Avs.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

We can’t even use the workload excuse now.

It was the first game of the season and he was complete and utter shit.

He’s broken beyond repair.

 

[NMAvsman]

Well....awful....but I am trying to think how we won with Kuemper, at as I recall it was having decent backup goaltending and Kuemper would make the first save but give up awful rebounds in high danger spots and be out of position for the rebound shot...but at least it gave time for our guys to have a shot at disrupting the rebound shooter. Kuemper was mediocre at best....but Georgiev gets beat clean....no chance for us to at least clear out ugly rebounds with our speed getting back. He is mentally broken right now. His body language tells it all. The team defense is bad to be sure, but damn....this is low tier AHL goaltending.
