GDT: Jackets @ Avs | First Emergency GDT Thread | 7pm MT (RIP Johnny Hockey)

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

No. Not at all. No one is. But let's be real. CMac is not getting fired two f***ing games into a season. that would be absolutely ridiculous, and is clearly just an emotional overreaction.

I don’t think anyone (but George) needs to be fired. However, like I said before, if they insist that George is their guy and he continues to tank the team they should go.

 

[Ararana]

I mean are you enjoying the fact we've giving up 14 goals in 2 games?

It's easier for some to be ignorantly optimistic and lie to themselves that cMac is a GM beast who makes others look foolish.

 

[Alex Jones]

Right or wrong… this is how the Avs have thought about it. This is two horrific games in a row to start after a preseason that wasn’t inspiring. It’s a tough spot. I’d expect the Avs to give George a game or two off and then go back to the well, but if anybody plays well they should stick with that guy.

Can't wait for the deadline when we pay a price jacked up higher than Nuke on a Friday night.

 

[S E P H]

I think their patience is wearing thin, otherwise they wouldn't have jumped on Kahkonen as a possible solution (even if short term)

Today should be the last straw, but I just saw the quote by Bednar and it is very disappointing. At the very least, Alexandar should be scratched for a week because all his problems are mental at this point. All the awful goals he let in are due to a lack of mentality and not because of a lack of talent. However, as others have posted on here, he might simply be broken in an Avs sweater. He might rebound elsewhere, but definitely not here.

 

[LurkerMcgee]

If we have Lehky, Val, Drouin and Landy back, or even if not Landy for little while longer, just having those other 3 back will mean the Avs will control the game more, will allow less scoring chances against because again, those players we are missing are top defensive forwards, specially Lehky and Val. Even with bad goaltending that should eliminate some of this goals against and result in wins. Look what lineup we have out there and combine that with bad goaltending, no surprise at all we’re losing

You don’t want your team to bail out goaltending. You want it to be the other way around when it’s bad. Good offense bailing out shit goaltending is a great recipe for being a one round and done team for a long long time.

Or some people can take the emotion out of a loss and think rationally.

Either/or.

Is it really Bednar’s fault for saying Georgiev is our starter? Looks like Annunen isn’t the guy either. I was hoping he would be but doesn’t look like it. Or are we gonna rely on waiver pick up now? The only way to fix the goaltending is to trade for one, so this is more on CMac than Bednar

0-3 here we come

Don't think people being upset about it and calling him out about it is exactly "Fire CMac" but I'd love to see his seat get considerably warmer.

We are squandering the window of two (possibly 3 if you count Mikko) Avalanche greats because we know they can score. I'd rather them spend Manson's money on a more expensive goaltender and roll with someone else on defense.

It's just not fun anymore watching the team deflate after terrible goals are scored.

Brutal start from the goaltending so far, but look at Edmonton last season. Started very poorly and eventually got it turned around.

There are posts literally calling for him to be fired.

I wouldn't mind firing the bastard that keeps putting him out there as the starter. How many more f***ing games do we have to watch George f*** us over before this POS is benched? When we miss home ice advantage in the playoffs by <6 points, this shit won't be funny.

 

[dahrougem2]

Macfarland should be on the hot seat every day Georgiev is still on this roster. Dead serious.

It is just negligent at this point. There are 62 better goaltenders in the NHL than Georgiev.

Bednar isn't going to go off about players to the media anyway, that's not his MO. Plus no point in doing that because Georgiev's confidence is probably in the shitter as it is. Slamming him probably isn't going to help (or slamming Annunen either.)

 

[S E P H]

Bednar should definitely say that in the public light. But it is absolutely his fault that he keeps playing him. I lost on a 177-dollar bet because of him tonight, but disregarding that personal stuff, Avs has set a franchise record in terms of goals allowed and Georgiev is the main reason why.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Go to bed and let us overreact.

 

[LurkerMcgee]

alright fellow pissed off can’t agree that goaltending on this team is f***ed folks. Time to call it a night. Should be nice to have the best goalie in franchise history come into town too only to see how embarrassing goaltending has become in this org. Fun times

 

[GirardIsStupid]

Am I the only one starting to wonder how bad this season is going to get? Avalanche are spread too thin on depth and goaltending. Starting to wonder what a Rantanen trade might look like.

 

[Ararana]

Or some people can take the emotion out of a loss and think rationally.

Either/or.

Yes, we definitely haven't been saying these exact same things for literal months now. It's all brand new because the Avs lost back to back games.

They have coddled his fragile ass since he got here and he's only gotten worse. Put him on blast. Turn the heat up. What's he's going to do? Play worse? LMAO

I'm a chubby 37 year old dude. If you guys can get me some pads I'll get in net next game.

Annunen hasn’t been any better when he came in to relieve Georgiev. Bednar doesn’t have many options right now

I guess we will see. If it's clueless to think CMac won't be fired any time soon let's see if you're right. I'll wait.
