I might be cold but I didn't really feel like that was much of an thank you. He said he liked to play in front of Avs fans and that he had fun in his last game. No mention of teammates, management etc.
Glad he enjoyed the Vegas game!

I was a big Georgiev supporter. First year he was good, then the 2nd year he started to decline, but I was defending him, was blaming the defense for most of the losses. This year I couldn’t defend him anymore. Between his bad play and being a dick to teammates and throwing sticks after allowing a goal, he made it impossible to show support

I find it a quite telling that not one Avs player liked or commented on Georgie's Instagram good bye post. See you later 4giev.

That IG post for me was just a reminder to unfollow him.

I hope it’s a 9-8 game so both guys can have tantrums

Remember when they almost fought? Those were the glory days of Georgiev with the Avs...

If the first post of this thread is not definitive proof I don’t know what is.

Ok, saw it now. But it is just one incident. I have seen Rantanen snap at team mates before. He has quite a temper. I also saw the clip where Georgie wacked Malinski. I’ll admit that it does not look good, but it falls below the threshold of evidence for me. It qualifies as indications, but not evidence.
Sure, there's always heads butting in any locker room--in fact I'd be worried about a locker room where there wasn't any verbal sparring from time to time. That said, where there's smoke, blah blah blah, and there has been a LOT of smoke, especially for an organization as secretive as the Avs.

Mikko's a hot head too. He snaps at teammates, officials, even his best friend's dad. He doesn't back down about it afterwards either. Good teams have players that don't get along all the time too.
Mikko also said he was happy for George after/during(?) a game a few days before he was traded too.
Probably a safe bet George didn't have a great relationship with his teammates, but whether that's mostly due to his inward personality being hard to click with, versus just hating him is unclear.

It’s ok to be a hot head, sometimes arguing with friends or teammates behind closed doors and stuff, but when you slash a teammate during a game when millions of people watching, I think that’s going overboard, specially when the player Georgiev slashed was Malinski who’s a rookie. That’s just a no no

Definitely agree. I didn't like it at all.
Practice, maybe, but during a game in front of a giant crowd, and TV audience is really bad.

I'll just say this once and then peace out... would be nice to see Mikko snap at players on the other team more instead.

He does seem to play his best hockey when he's mad or trying to prove a point.

Maybe this bloke Georgiev was trying to tank our team on purpose. Who knows the truth. Is he really that bad. Maybe he wanted to be traded to a different team all along especially how happy he seemed to be in the Sharks locker room.
