Avs fan here. Can't believe how harsh you guys are being on the goalie. Two breakaway goals, one went off his defenseman right in front of the net, and one loose puck right in front of the net. I think he's being blamed too much here.

No crystal ball yet you say it was a guaranteed lose?
Ok then. Can't have it both ways.
It is not on Maurice. It is not like he went way out of the box. He played his current starter in one of the B2B games. It is on Hutch for sucking. You can't blame Maurice for Hutch being a hot pile of s***. He was rested and should have been motivated to keep his position on the depth chart. Now if Maurice doesn't go with Helly next game feel free to blame him.
Management needs to fire Huddy, Flaherty and Vincent. The PP especially has been abysmal. Why were they trying to draw so many penalties near the end of the game when they do nothing on the PP?
What a punch in the gut after such a brilliant game yesterday.

We have our issues here. We're seeing professionals about them, but we have to work it out. Leave us to it.

Can't show up for half the game with below average goaltending and think your going to win, were not the Blackhawks

Not at this rate...
Hutch hasn't bailed this team out in weeks. Hell, none of our goalies have.
What?

Yesterday's game was too good to be true i guess.
So many breakdowns and breakaways early and often.
Beaten by the moles.....AGAIN.

Why stop with them? Fire the equipment guys, the front-line ticket scanners and the guy that deep-fries the chicken fingers.
But Hutch has been sucking for a while now. Why would Maurice think anything was going to change tonight ? I don't think Helle was exhausted from yesterday.
This bodes well for the tank. Though we still sit in 11th pick territory because of last nights win.
I want Hutch and Pav to succeed but they can't. I'm not asking them to save every goal. Defence is a problem. Other goalies help their teams out. Thats why there is a player dedicated to defending the ****ing net. Defend it. What is up with Hutch? By this point I'd rather see Pav out there.
Hellebuyck has to start next game. It can't get any worse.
Though I understand why they didn't start him today. If we lost with Helle in net things would be even more depressing around here...
Again excellent effort from the front end. Scoring 3 is enough to win or earn a point for most teams. Trouba was deadly in second half. Wheeler proving he deserves to be called elite. You can score 20 goals and won't mean **** if your goalie lets in 21.

Don't get me wrong, I would have started Helly as well. But it wasn't the wrong call to start Hutch. Hutch just sucked.

Dude, it is on Maurice, Hutch has been terrible for over a month why does Mo insist on reinforcing fact, Hutch is a bad goalie right now, nothing would have been lost starting Helly.

Looking at the other teams below us, the only way we get close to top 5 is if we move Ladd and Buff and hope for some key injuries and keep getting horibadawful goaltending. Otherwise, we're gonna be right around 10th.
