Avs slowed down as the game went on, which isn’t unexpected in the second game of a b2b. All of the penalties didn’t help either.

Good win overall. Loved the first half of the game by them.

 

[JoeSakic13]

That was not the game I was expecting to see tonight. What a performance from Georgie.

 

[Metallo]

Great effort. Georgie was the man. And Nuke, what can you say?

 

[MonsterMack]

Wasn't this a guaranteed blowout loss? Huh

 

[wayninja]

He just looked SO calm.

Those Rangers fans were full of shit man

 

[dahrougem2]

How'd we look? I spent the evening losing a men's league game so I didn't catch this one. I take it Georgiev was good and Nichushkin is still the best player in the world?

 

[Balthazar]

Easily Georgie's best game as an Av

TBH I don't think he had a bad game with us yet. That OT goal was questionable but other than that he's been good.

 

[TheForsbergShow]

I've really liked Georgiev so far. From the games I've seen I havnt really seen any obvious weak goals. The pk has just been abysmal. It's also nice not having to cringe every time he stretches out far thinking he might get hurt like Kuemper or Grub or Varly. If he keeps this up I think we will have a good value starter for the next three years.

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

Nice win. Ran out of steam on a back-to-back, but the effort level was definitely better than the last few games.

Led by Hart trophy candidate Val Nichushkin.

Good at times but it was far from easy. Guys need to buy dinner to their goalie.

I don't think we'll get many "easy" games this season like we've been used to in the last couple of years.

.875 winning percentage with him in net. A big f***ing donut with Frankie.

Nuke undressing McNabb makes it even more enjoyable. f*** that guy.

 

[forsbergavs32]

I think considering the back to back it was a solid win. There's still some work to do on the defensive system and PK (despite the PK being 3/4 tonight) But I'm happy overall.

George, Bo, ERod and Nuke were fantastic.

Makar (other than the one defensive play, Mack (outside of the goal and Rants didn't look very good tonight.


Hopefully ERod isn't out, but it would be very Avs for him to start to figure it out then miss time.

Wonder when the press conference is for Brayden McNabb’s retirement announcement

 

[Freaky Styley]

Not sure if this was just tonight but I'm not sure the last time I saw an Avs goalie track the puck through traffic like Georgiev tonight. He knew where that thing was at all times.

Does anyone have a replay of the scramble that ensued from the rebound off the boards? Altitude didn't do a great job of showing it but I thought Georgie stopped a shot with his blocker while falling which if it happened would be a SOTY candidate IMO

Looked like a blocker save to me, then the D-man stuffed the puck under his ass.

Yeah wtf happened on that save? It looked like it was near the right post, but Georgie was stretching out with both hands (which was weird in itself) to the left post.

I’ve liked his game. He’s been better than his numbers suggest imo. Nice to have someone with some athleticism in net again.

Makar has become Fox. A guy that gets secondary assists on the PP and not much else.

ERod got hurt? He was just the post-game interview on the radio, and sounded just fine.

 

[nammerus]

JMac leading the D in xGF% as expected.

Bednar threw away 2 points needlessly by playing Macdermid yesterday on the back end.

Someone mentioned he went to the locker room in the 3rd. Maybe he just had Taco Bell before the game.

He had a primary tonight.

Yeah, he went briefly but came back before the period ended.
