Avs have won games in spite of Fourgiev. I can count on one hand how many times Fourgiev has actually won the Avs a game. Hes the purest definition of a back up goalie as you will find. Hes Philip Grubauer from Bulgaria.
Might want JH21 to double check your math there
Kuemper is f***in prime Hasek compared to Fourgiev.
I did not watch the third period, which I guess most of the complaints about Georgiev came from, but no way you can blame him for the first three IMHO. A crazy good tip that would be anybody, a bad bounce straight to McDavid's stick who is the fastest player in the league, and a weird random bump one which trickles in. The team wasn't winning this game based on the first 10 minutes of play from the first period where they took lazy penalties.
You ever wonder why Fourgiev seems to give up a lot of “unlucky bounces”? Maybe they’re not unlucky bounces
Oh come on. No way to blame him for the first three?
The second goal you mean? It bounced straight to McDavid's stick from behind the net battles. He has the fastest decision-making in the league, no flaw in getting beat by behind-the-net wraparounds. They are very hard to defend against for goalers because of the limited eyesight from the helmet.
The 2nd and 3rd goal were weak by NHL standard. The 4th and 6th shouldn’t even go in on an ECHL goalie.
The measuring stick was for the oilers my friend. We have been looked at as a cream-of-the-crop team for a while now. A team that they have been abused by for some time. WE most certainly did not use this as a measuring stick game. They did and they did it well. The Avs were outclassed last night, in a game that meant a lot to the opposition. We’ve not been playing well lately and it was a back to back, but that doesn’t mean we should use this singular game as proof they are done.
I agree. I said earlier this week that he’s been merely “ok” and I still stand by that. He hasn’t been bad but the consistency needs to start showing through. People are quick to crucify players on this board but me it’s hasn’t been bad enough to warrant that much ire. He’s adjusting still and it shows but there’s been positives as well.
That's every goaler though, you get them moving and open holes and you have a sure goal. I said around the 15th game of the season that a lot more teams are going side to side on Georgiev compared to last season and it is getting him off the structured game that Parkkila instilled in him. Nevertheless, he did get bumped into by a follow-through, I am not saying it was "true" goaler interference, but those goals happen on everyone, Hellebuyck, Rask, etc. Maybe I am not caring enough like you lot are because the Avs weren't winning that game, even if we had a prime Roy.
Brother, a half competent goaltender has that game AT WORST 2-2 heading into the 3rd.
Kuemper was the worst goalie in over 30 years to win a SC. Literally, you have to go back to the 80s to find a goalie that bad.
Yup. Mittelstadt needs to get that puck deep that late in a period especially knowing hes playing with an empty net
Esp. agree with your last sentence. Pretty much concluded that Georgiev has an asshole personality. Grubauer (goals are never MY fault) recollections anybody??
Casey has been terrible. I am a Casey fan --- via my Buffalo fanship --- but he has seen the elephant here in Colorado and needs to get back in touch with his inner mental core.
Have a good Monday discussing this game with your students. There's not much to defend with from last night.
