GDT: leaves @ COLORADO AVALANCHE - 2/24/24 - 5PM MT

[twostroke2023]

f*** sakes man. I have no idea what Mikko was thinking there. He had all the time and space in the world. Zero need to do that. That pp goal was complete trash by 4giev to. Makar needs to get his head out of his ass too.

If im mackinnon i go on f***ing strike until cmac gets off his ass and does something. This is absolutely unacceptable. They. Neeed. Help.

 

[sethro109]

They also hooked and slashed him several times throughout the game when he went behind the net. No calls.

Kozari is a POS that hates the Avs.

 

[The Kingslayer]

It's hilarious that on the PK BOTH Avs defensemen wanted to chase Nylander behind the net AND Georgiev bit so incredibly hard on Nylander skating.

Unreal job, boys.

Thats a goalie who cant track the puck at all. Try that at beer league and the goalie wont bite as hard. Im saying thats a goal you could pull off when Foppa was in his prime and he used to do it alot.

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

Can't win with this goaltending.

Defense can't defend.

Three wingers making over 6 million. But relying on a walk on tryout in Drouin to score.

 

[Avs_19]

I only saw the third period and the Avs were playing really well. I've felt way worse about some of the recent road losses compared to this one.

Makar is the one who needs to get his **** together and no, he's not fatigued. He's just playing poorly.

 

[Foppa2118]

Mikko and Manson's careless mistakes are the reason for this loss. Pure and simple.

Mikko with no one around throwing the puck in the stands, and Manson for some reason leaving his man in front of the net to go behind the net on the PK. I don't know which one is worse.

I want to believe in this team, but they just can't get their act together this year. They can't stop making simple preventable mistakes at key times.

 

[Cypher]

Biggest sequence of the game and this stupid ass motherf***er is standing straight up looking the other way, no idea where the puck is.

Shit can happen but when you don’t know where the puck is you react and go to a butterfly getting both legs to the posts. It’s supposed to be second nature to an NHL goaltender.

I’m so f***ing mad right now.

Yup, Leafs player all alone in front of the net while both our dman are behind the goal line. Definitely only Georgie's fault.

 

[The Kingslayer]

He's so f***ing bad man.


This might be the game that has me flipped on the season. We can't win with George in net and we can't win with the forwards that we have.


Don't even bother wasting assets on buying at the deadline. This group isn't it and the deadline isn't the time to make the massive changes we need to actually have a chance at winning.

Said it earlier in this thread. Dont do anything unless you plan on getting a goalie. No sense throwing away pieces if you have a backup as your starter.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Yup, Leafs player all alone in front of the net while both our dman are behind the goal line. Definitely only Georgie's fault.

Who the f*** said it was only George’s fault?

I’m a goalie and will always focus on what the goalie could’ve done.

 

[drhiii]

I don't even want to watch this team with Fourgiev in net.

I am about there too.

 

[chet1926]

Another game, another night with no secondary scoring. 3 goals, 3 MacK points. It's becoming a joke at this point.

Got to throw an assist to the refs tonight, not one real call on the Leafs all night. The only PP we got was a have to call puck over the glass. It's a joke how many no calls went Toronto's way.

 

[the_fan]

We need Nuke back
We need Landy back
We need a 2C
We need a 4C
We need a goalie

Then we’ll be fine

 

[Balthazar]

Does regular season even matter anymore? As long as they get in the playoffs I'm not losing sleep over regular season losses.

Team needs help and until then we'll have to work hard for every win, rely on only 3 guys and lose our fair share of games.

 

[lionsDen]

When you say in a hurry, you really mean when MacFarland is ready/gets around to it?

If their not careful they could miss the playoffs all together

 

[NateTheGreat]

Kind of ridiculous that the Avs dominated the Leafs and Toronto didn't get called for one single penalty(puck over glass is automatic). They missed a lot of calls. Very encouraging game for the Avs, loved what I saw tonight.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

I get it, it’s not all in Georgiev. But at some point, when there are more games that you’re giving up 3+ goals against than ones where you don’t, that’s a really bad sign for the team your tending for

 

[Muffin]

Yup, Leafs player all alone in front of the net while both our dman are behind the goal line. Definitely only Georgie's fault.

What about the 3rd goal? You know we lost by 1 goal right? I love how the standard for Fourgiev is so low we're happy with 1 softy a game. A goalie is supposed to bail his team out, we're lucky if he doesn't lose the game for the team right now.

 

[The Kingslayer]

This is what happens to average hockey teams.

Bad goaltender, horrid PK, zero depth, this is the expectation for me nowadays.

Until this team gets a real 2nd line center, gets Johansen off this team, and gets a goalie that can challenge Georgiev, this team is going nowhere.

f*** challenging him just get a starter. Georgiev has shown hes nothing more than a back up. Hes Glen Healy. Solid back up but not a starter. Pretty much a worse version of Grubauer.

 

[forsbergavs32]

They played so well in the first then somehow completely forgot to play defense. Rantanen is playing braindead all game yet again outside of that one chance, the 3rd line is completely ineffective with RyJo on it, and Georgiev once again can't stop a puck.

 

[Avsfan1921]

I only saw the third period and the Avs were playing really well. I've felt way worse about some of the recent road losses compared to this one.

Makar is the one who needs to get his **** together and no, he's not fatigued. He's just playing poorly.

It wasn’t a bad game really, just very frustrating. Their pk needs an overhaul in the worst way though.

I agree on Makar, and I still believe he’s the best D in the game but his play this year isn’t quite what I was expecting defensively.

 

[sethro109]

Not re-signing Kadri was by far this team's biggest mistake.


We desperately need Nuke back.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

.867 save percentage tonight and somehow his .898 on the season continues to get worse.

What a f***ing shit show.

 

[the_fan]

Don’t the Avs always play like shit around the trade deadline? Players probably destructed, thinking about who’s leaving, who’s staying, who’s coming and things

 

[lionsDen]

I get it, it’s not all in Georgiev. But at some point, when there are more games that you’re giving up 3+ goals against than ones where you don’t, that’s a really bad sign for the team your tending for

I have a feeling it has really sapped some of their mental fortitude. Just like it helps teams when goalies steal games

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Exactly this.

When your second highest paid player casually flips a puck over the glass and you know the moment the other team gets a shot on goal on the PP and it’s in… you’re f***ing demoralized.
