Georgie deserves serious props for his play especially in OT.
Georgiev is the goalie version of Mikko: great tools, all the ability . . . and completely mercurial. Both guys go from "what the hell are you doing?" to "that might be the greatest play I've seen all year" in minutes. Seconds.
Maybe the first goal you can pin on AG. Maybe. The other 2 were goofy deflections. One was on a friggin' 5 on 3. That's a big ask.
But as in the Winnipeg series, you're not asking AG to be great. Just be a little better than the other guy. He was last night. In fact, AG was spectacular in the 3rd and OT. If AG played a game losing breakaway the way Otter did last night against Wood (horribly) . . . it wouldn't be pretty.
Yes, he drives you crazy. But AG has been better than Oettinger and Hellebuyck over the last 5 games when it really mattered.
Weird. But true.
With that said, anyone else feel like Georgie’s style of play is like that of an old time goaltender (Freddy mask and all)? Pure chaos, all over the place and very little form other than “keep the puck out at all costs.”
Also, I think whoever said they believe Georgie broke his hand at some point which is why he can’t catch anything in his glove was seriously on to something.
