Playing Hutch was the right decision. Will do again.
Yeah because he gave us the best chance to win right!?!

Who needs Lee? We have Thorburn on the third line. Well planned.
Thorburn was on the ice with two minutes to go in the game and we are down one goal

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.

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.
It was ABSOLUTELY the wrong call. You've got a goalie in Hutchinson who's been pulled early on several occasions who's clearly not playing well at all, and on the other hand you have a guy who came in, let only one goal in and the team played great in front of him the night before. YOU KEEP THE MOMENTUM ROLLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No ifs ands or buts, this is a coaching problem.
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.

Like divisional games are big to make the playoffs. The key to tanking is to lose to the teams below you. Tha'ts how you really gain.. I mean lose ground. We've been doing a good job with Colorado so far dropped both games. The rest will be a bit tougher especially the Eastern teams as we don't play them as much.

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.
Somebody tell Ladd that nobody is going to give him 6 mil a year
Here's the thing:
Goalies that start both games of back-to-backs on average post a SV% .011 less than rested goalies who start the second game of back-to-backs.
But you've got to choose between Hutch, who's been struggling mightily putting up a .856 over his last 5 starts, or Hellebuyck, who had a light workload in an early game yesterday but you don't really know what he is yet.
I dunno, I think considering Hutch's play of late, I would've rolled with Hellebuyck until he had a bad game.
It wouldn't be so frustrating it we didn't have possibly one of the best young goalies in the game sitting on the bench. Most of us are really more frustrated at Maurice for playing a goalie who has been clearly in a horrible slump at a time when every point is so critical.
