Please tell me Fourgiev isn't starting tonight. Although 0-5 would be pretty funny.
NHL network showed the stats of teams going winless to start the season. I forgot what was the percentage but there is 20 or 40% chance of making the playoffs if you go 0-4 but no team has ever made the playoffs going 0-5.

So Georgie Porgie is starting again? For the life of me I don't understand. Even if he was playing lights out, resting him every 5th game would be a good thing to do. But to keep trotting him out there when he is a total dumpster fire is just baffling.

Starting Georgiev is a truly damning reflection on how the team views Annunen. George at the moment is our best hope, he was better last game than the first three. Hopefully he trends upwards and can work his way out of the funk.

So he's going to magically be better simply because they name him the starter despite the fact that he is an objectively worse goalie in almost every facet!?

He very well could be worse and I don't have high hopes but how about actually giving him a shot rather than him coming in cold when they're losing and the team is already demoralized due to Georgiev being a disaster.

A backup has to at least make a routine save, cold or not, which is something Annunen is BARELY doing. The defense did not collapse once he was in, even demoralized they still played well enough to keep the game close.

I agree there is a point where they'll simply have to try someone else if Georgiev doesn't figure it the f*** out but that time is not now, certainly not with Annunen the way he's playing.

He's literally been worse, especially when you consider that he's been in for far less time.
He literally has not. Has he been good? No. Is he better than the worst goalie in the league? Yes.
