GDT: Avs vs Jets 6PM MST: We're better on the road right?

[Hennessy]

Woof. 6 GAA on 20 shots? That's barely over a .700 SV%. Rare to see that without a goalie getting pulled fairly early.

 

[AvsGuy]

Seriously how many games have we lost this season while scoring 4 or more? You need to be able to win those games. The offense showed up, where the hell was Grubauer? 6 goals against when you have twice as many shots is unacceptable and unwinnable

 

[AvsFan29]

They played a good game and lost due to crap goaltending. 6 goals on 16 shots is ridiculous.

This is an example of why we can't lose EASY games. We're going to lose good games like this one.

Thank God the central stalled out around game 30. We would be buried any other year right now

 

[chet1926]

Can we just ship Grubauer back to Germany? The guy simply isn't even playing at an NHL level, maybe nacho duty with Varly and Frank sharing reps.

Outside that, I got to say it was a fairly decent game, effort was good, got secondary scoring, made a few too many mistakes but probably played well enough to win tonight just aren't going to do it when the goalie plays that poorly.

 

[CobraAcesS]

So did we give WPG three minutes of the net being empty and only allow one goal? Wow you know you're out playing a team when you pull the goalie on the PK and still don't give up a goal.

 

[sethro109]

Oh **** moser throwing shade at our goalies

Even McNab said "They just couldn't get a save tonight." I don't remember him ever saying something like that before.

 

[kchan9]

Sakic was at the game and he witnesssed this type of garbage from Grubauer. Fix this bullshit now

 

[Raucherhusten]

If you get slightly above average goaltending in this league you have a shot every game. In 2/3 games we don't get that. And it also doesn't matter if it's Varly or Grubi - both are mediocre at best. I remember exactly ONE stolen game all season (Grubi vs. Montreal); that's not good enough.

Then you add Meh Special Teams and bonehead individual mistakes (today we had Rants, Landy and Cole costing us big time) and you know exactly WHY we are losing games left and right.

The effort is there almost every night but the execution is not. And i don't think adding one Top 6 player (FA or draft) will fix that.

 

[crue7]

I had more confidence in Calvert f***ing pickard

 

[Alex Jones]

Which would be a mistake. Varly can have great games, but overall he's done

I really, genuinely don't want him back, especially for either the money or the term that he is going to want. That said, are there really going to be any better options out there?

I do think that the plan was for next season to be Francouz and Grubauer, but right now can you trust Grubauer to carry the load? I guess we'll see how the rest of the year turns out.

 

[Ararana]

Well isn’t that just frustrating as f***.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Oh **** moser throwing shade at our goalies

What'd he say? I turned it off lol

 

[CobraAcesS]

Well isn’t that just frustrating as ****.

Yeah that pretty much matches the eye test.

 

[Avs_19]

Francouz gives up 7 with the Eagles the other day and Grubauer matches him tonight. You're up, Varly!

 

[sethro109]

Which would be a mistake. Varly can have great games, but overall he's done

It's that damn groin of his. Just won't stay healthy. Such a shame too. He's not that old for a goaltender and when he's on he's very very good.

 

[Goulet17]

As Rycroft stated, the Avs had some horrific, unsound defensive hockey. Grubs certainly wasn't great, but you cannot gloss over some of the non-NHL caliber mistakes from the team as a whole. Winnipeg may have given up 41 shots, but the Jets did not have the same type of colossal breakdowns.

 

[Foppberg]

Right and they had winning record 4 out of 5 seasons he was there, but yet he still wasn't good.

Why are you fixated on winning seasons? His first three years with them he only played 23 games combined... Takes goaltenders a long time to get their shit together. He's been great for the Islanders.

But whatever, this is off topic.

 

[AvsWraith]

And for the first time in NHL history, a team will have the first two picks in a draft.

 

[S E P H]

Nice to see who the scapegoat of the season is.

Lets all do this tomorrow when you lot psychotically rage towards Varlamov.

 

[CobraAcesS]

I wonder if Detroit would give us Howard for Grubs. Grubs is signed for cheap and helps their tank lol.

 

[CobraAcesS]

Nice to see who the scapegoat of the season is.

Lets all do this tomorrow when you lot psychotically rage towards Varlamov.

Both of them deserve every ounce of poop thrown at them right now. I have zero faith in either one.

It's like burning 9M in a dumpster fire right now.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Nice to see who the scapegoat of the season is.

Lets all do this tomorrow when you lot psychotically rage towards Varlamov.

If he plays bad I'll rage towards him as well

 

[AVSfan2daMAX]

Helleybuck wasn't brilliant but made big saves to keep his team in front. Nobody expects your goalie to always stand on his head but tonight's performance by Grubauer was unacceptable. Not only was he technically deficient but his body language didn't inspire any confidence. On many goals, it appears he couldn't even tell what happened

 

[sethro109]

And for the first time in NHL history, a team will have the first two picks in a draft.

Our top two lines would be Soo lethal. If I didn't believe the team needs the playoff experience if be happy with that.

 

[dahrougem2]

Ok.... Grubauer was bad tonight. Not going to fault him on the first two goals because there's really nothing you can do when you're hung out to dry like that, but the rest.....

You score 4 goals, you should win an NHL hockey game. At the very least you should be able to get a point. Grubauer struggled tonight, and I feel like if Varly performs well tomorrow the net is right back up for grabs.
