This is a lineup you'd see in the 2nd round of the playoffs after all the injuries pile up. But here we are in game 2 of the year....jolly good.

See, what happened is that I misinterpreted the question...I thought it meant how many points would the Avs drop this week

Serious question: Do we have any zamboni drivers willing to play the goaltender position?

An entire offseason and this is how Georgiev shows up. The man is totally cooked. Adding Kappo K isn't going to help his confidence at all when we saw last year he was starting to lose the starter spot to rookie Annunen. This is a ugly situation for Georgiev, makes you think if he even wants to be an NHL goalie anymore with his awful play. Campbell v2.

Well that's too bad. I don't think there is another team out there, even a tanking team, that would've given him as much rope as the Avs have. The team and the organization have held their end of the bargain, now it's time to start trying something else.
Yeah i was f***ing right. f***ing Georgiev!

Have to start Annunen, who looked much better in the 3rd after he had time to prepare.

I’ve played many sports in my life. I can tell you without hesitation, besides hockey goalie, and maybe a pitcher or QB, you can physically prepare as much as you want. But there are no other positions where the mental game is as big a factor.
Part of me feels what George has going on. He’s got no confidence, feels like every instinct and decision is always wrong. Even when he chooses right, there’s an unlucky bounce, etc. And it doesn’t matter what you do, you can’t seem to fix it.
On the other hand, he’s a professional, and he’s getting paid millions. So while I understand what he’s going through, I don’t have tons of empathy for him.
