GDT: Perds @ Abes | 4pm MT | High Effort Emergency GDT

[The Merchant]

Man, I don't think I've ever been so pissed off after a massive win before. F*** these Preds, dirty ass bastards every single one. It doesn't help that the refs just let them get away with it all game, but the way they play makes me want to punch a wall.

They got what they deserved in the end. The major turned the game on its head. It was all Avs after that.

 

[Puckstop40]

I have zero faith in Georgiev come playoff time. .692 save percentage is unacceptable.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Just another day at the office

Imagine making 9 million a season and just having quiet day at the office. DAMN

 

[Balthazar]

Friedman talks about the Georgiev penalty

 

[Foppa2118]

Annunen has played well, but starting a rookie goalie in the playoffs, who hadn't even proven he was an NHL backup until a few weeks ago sounds like a recipe for disaster.

He's got 13 NHL games and 0 NHL playoff games.

 

[chet1926]

That was also a quiet 3 point night for Moose.

Literally the best at looking so f***ing bad, but getting multiple points. Never seen anyone play so mid and just rack up points.

 

[forsbergavs32]

At what point does Annunen get the crease? George sucks, and Annunen had strung together a lot of quality. Got to do what's best for the team.

Personally I'd give Justus C-Bus and Edmonton, let Georgiev the Mild since he has to play because of the back to back

 

[Avs_19]

Friedman trying to get Georgiev suspended. Thank you, sir.

They'll start Georgiev but have a short leash

Trenin is a walking W. Love him

Georgiev is a proven failure.

Mystery box or the smelly piece of poo?

 

[AVSfan2daMAX]

He had a .926 save percentage.

Weak start then buckled down. I take that over Fourgiev.

Yeah exactly, nobody would have any issues if that was Georgiev. Instead Georgiev gives up soft goals and never stops the bleeding.

Justus is proving that he can bounce back from bad starts. He did it in Calgary, to some extent in St Louis and against the Habs.

 

[Bonzai12]

im not the biggest Bednar fan but this was a coaching win today. Pulling G gave us the W. Props to the coach

 

[Foppa2118]

This is the right move.

George hasn't played to expectations, but they need to do what they can to get him to play his best. If they end up having to go to Annunen, it will be very difficult to win the Cup.

 

[Muffin]

Vegas won with Hill there’s no reason we can’t roll with Annunen.

 

[Foppa2118]

Georgiev is a proven failure.

Mystery box or the smelly piece of poo?

I get it, but has anyone won the Cup with a rookie mystery box goalie with so few NHL games?

 

[Balthazar]

For the Walker injury: Bednar hasn't talked to the trainers yet

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Has anybody won with a shit starting goaltender like Kuemper?

We don’t follow history. We MAKE history. Colorado Avalanche way.

 

[forsbergavs32]

Georgiev seems to have a pretty bad attitude. Just off the top of my head...the slash on Malinski, never seeming happy if Annunen plays well, and then being pissed he can't make a save and slaps the puck into the crowd.

Honestly, regardless of what happens the rest of the season, I hope they move on from him.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

For the Walker injury: Bednar hasn't talked to the trainers yet

“Yeah, ya know, I dunno.”

Fair point, but this sounds like an argument to use George.

 

[Spirits]

Insane lmao.

 

[NorthernAvsFan]

I’m going to keep pounding the table for a top-6 of:

Drouin - MacK - Nichushkin

Lekhonen - Mittelstadt - Rants

The Drouin/MacK chemistry is approaching Mooseheads levels right now.

Good game overall, particularly solid performance without Val.

Avs definitely have a decision to make for the playoffs in net.

 

[a mangy Meowth]

I get it, but has anyone won the Cup with a rookie mystery box goalie with so few NHL games?

We could be the first

Worst since Grant Fuhr in 1984 iirc.

Edit: Might be 1988.
