Our PK is so shit because he's so shit. Your goalie needs to be your best penalty killer. He's allowing every scoring chance in, PP are going to get chances and he's not stopping them.

The Oilers can overtake them in points aswell if they keep this up. Oilers have 5 games in hand so if they Avs continue to drop games the way they have its actually a very real possible that the Oilers overtake them which would be hilarious when everyone here was counting the Oilers out in October.

I don't have an issue with Georgiev on that GWG. That kind of play fools goalies all the time.
It was just a perfectly timed Forsberg'esque pass behind the net from Nylander.
Starts to go around the net and when he's halfway, and the goalie has to turn his head to find him coming the other way, he throws the pass back the other way to the doorstep.
If Manson stays in front of the net, instead of chasing the guy behind the net who can't score, he can tie up the stick and that probably doesn't go in.

Losing Compher was inevitable, but felt at the time would have as big an impact as anything.
Plenty of picks and interference, hooks and holds that could/should have been called.
The interference called on Colton was replicated by the Leafs in the 3rd period on Wood. No call.
Absolutely terrible officiating. And listening to the HNIC pro Leaf broadcast was irritating.
So the Avs play at home at an east coast start time and the Leats wear their 3rd jerseys. What's with that?

The be played in front of some terrible goaltenders, it’s really hard to explain how difficult it is. You can’t be the best defensive player, but you’re clutching your stick and terrified of making mistakes because you just know any shot on net could be a goal against. It’s mentally and physically fatiguing
This is bang on for 90% of it. Don’t really think it’s fair to include Landy as one of these wingers when we knew he wasn’t playing this year and hasn’t in the regular season for ~24 months now

Georgiev is f***ing garbage. Genuinely, statistically, not even a top 30 goalie in the league. Acquire a #1B. I don't care if he hates it. Ranger fans were right about everything. Just an appalling season from him.
Johansen is garbage. Just kick him to the curb already, please. Watching him wander about the ice not giving a damn is painful.
Lehkonen's father was right about everything, too.

Trading Compher and re-signing Kadri is absolutely what they should have done. Then Manson wouldn't have mattered. We'd be down a 3C, but that a f*** ton easier to fix.

I understand why they walked away from both, but I think going from Compher to RJ had a bigger impact, than Naz to Compher.
At least Compher could be serviceable and skate well enough to play 2C.
They don't have a serviceable 2C right now. They just have Colton who's their 3C.

How often do we see that now with modern goalies? Seriously the last time I remember that goal happening was on Bob Essensa. yah old time goalie when Hejduk passed it out to Drury in Game 3 I think. I remember this because I did it the next day at ball hockey. You really dont see goalies biting on that as much these days. Kinda like a wrap around goal. Those are rare.

Imagine the team in front of your holds the opposition to 25-30 shots on a nightly basis and you still let in 4 goals constantly. Georige f***ing sucks, guy makes Kuemper look good
The Avs should have never allowed themselves to get into the position of having to tie it in the 3rd. So many excellent opportunities that don't go in and then the other team scores on the reverse rush up the ice (LOC, Wood, Colton).
Disheartening.
But they all have to know that the D and the goaltender is going to give up 4 goals almost every night.
That's depressing.

Oh we still see it. It just doesn't end up in the back of the net as much. It's a pass and then a blocked or deflected shot usually.
Either the defender in Girard's spot blocks the pass, or more importantly the defender in Manson's spot doesn't leave the front of the net to go after the guy behind the net who can't score.

Expected. If we have no faith in Georgiev imagine what the guys in the room are thinking. Anyone whose played in front of a good goalie knows you can play a little more relaxed when you know your tendy can bail you out if you make a mistake. The Avs simply cannot make one mistake or it will end up in the goal.
I bet in a 7 game series with 23 minutes of ice time per game, Colton would have more than 2 points.
Compher was a plague to this team. Bednar's over use and inability to score cost us more than anyone else.
Kuemper WAS good until he lost an eye. People just remember him for the playoffs.

Pre-eye poke Kuemper was fine. Hell, post-eye poke Kuemper is basically as good as normal George

Minimum 20 games played, George is #48 (dead last) in total goals allowed; #24 in goals saved above expected goals allowed per 60 minutes; #33 in overall save percentage; #25 in overall GAA; and #37 in save percentage against high danger shots against.

Kuemper was Terry Sawchuk compared to Georgiev and everyone here knows how I felt about Darcy. Georgiev is legit one of the worst starting goalies in the NHL and the numbers back it up.

Get Nedeljkovic from the Pens and watch him takeover as our #1. He should be our primary target.

I agree... just sayin', Kadri was a no brainer goner. But Compher is, was important, had roles as well. The amount of Cmac bashing (way deserved) is astronomical and I am beginning to believe it too.

Yet there are still Fourgiev truthers here. These numbers are what you expect from a very bad back up goalie like Martin Jones.
