4 goals on 13 shots, a penalty for shooting a puck into the crowd, and yanked by Bednar.

The thing is that none of those goals were his fault, remember?

Missed this one but yah Fourgiev going to Fourgiev. There are really only 10 things standing between the Avs and the Cup this season.

1. Edmonton
2, Fourgiev
3. Florida
4. Nashville
5. Vegas
6. Injuries
7. Dallas
8. Ray Bennett
9. Vancouver
10. Cale Makar

 

[The Kingslayer]

You can probably convince me that Fourgiev has a humiliation kink because the last time they played the Preds they embarrassed the f*** out the Avs and they were on their way there tonight until Mackinnon and Makar decided that wasnt happening.

That's higher than 11

Bednar is keep saying Justus is gonna get more starts if he plays well like this, but so far that’s not happening. Gotta go with Annunen again the next game, and if he has another solid game, go with him again the following game. Give Georgiev something to think about. Be better or lose the starter job. Having said that, watch Bednar go with Georgiev again vs Columbus on Monday

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

What are the chances Justus can actually become a starter next year, then the Avs can trade Georgiev which will help to resign Drouin and get a cheap back up

This is sort of the direction I'd be looking to go...

Not necessarily all the way in on Annunen as the starter, but swap George out for another unproven starter that makes less money.

I'd be looking to make a trade with Arizona for Ingram, or San Jose and Blackwood.


Georgiev + 2024 1st for Ingram + one of Arizona's 2nd round picks. Saves us $1.5M in cap space and then would lock in Annunen/Ingram as the goalie duo for the next 2 years.

Yeah, I think it would be very easy to start Annunen on Monday. Bednar just has to say it was a scheduled start for him. They've been going two for Georgie, one for Annunen for a while, and this would be the third game and against a weaker opponent, so I would guess he was going to start that one anyway. That gives Georgiev five days to reset himself before a softer game against a mediocre team on Thursday. Bednar has to do everything he can to get him feeling more confident down the stretch. If he can't get it together, you just have to hope Justus pulls off a miracle run.

I do actually wonder how well liked George is in that locker room. Nothing would make me happier than if Justus found a way to prove he was a starter

We could be a couple more bad Georgiev starts from finding out

 

[willy702]

You guys 5 weeks or so ago wanted to shoot Justus to the moon. Now you want him to start more and push Georgie out of a job. And yet you tell us you know how to run a team better than the GM. Ok.

Just go with whoever is playing better and right now it’s Annunen

Disappearing…fleeing the country…same thing.

Oops, wrong reply.

How many more 4 goal games against is it going to take?
In 58 starts this season Fourgiev has allowed 4 goals against or more 21 times.
Hes allowed 3 goals or more 33 times.

I suppose one way of looking at this shitty goaltending is that the Avs have had to outscore their problem which has led to the greatest regular season by an Av ever with Mackinnon. Does Mackinnon have an MVP season if not for Fourgiev being garbage? Maybe not.

Great for Mack’s big season, shit for playoffs. Georgiev is making Kuemper’s run with the Avs look like prime Brodeur

 

[22FUTON9]

Just watched the game.
Gosh Drouin was just everywhere, I feel like he might have had a better entry rate on the PP than Mack, and Mack’s damn good at gaining entry as well.

The guy could be really big for us come playoff time.
He’s always been a great playoff performer.

He truly is making Kuemper look like prime Marty. No joke.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Manson(5) + Trenin(5) had 10 hits.

The rest of our 16 skaters had 14 combined.

Trenin is straight up such a beast

God bless that Russian man

Bruh, I would jump his ass if I could

 

[Freudian]

Nashville played this as game 0.5 in a playoff series.

 

[Grigowski]

We better pray that Justus is ready to roll in the playoffs and can hold the fort just good enough to give us a shot.....

Not getting a goalie at the Deadline could really bite us in the ass......

Throwing a tantrum, not being a teamplayer, sorry Mr. Georgiev.... You can do this shit if your name is Patrick Roy and you bail your team out whenever it is needed......

Avoiding Nashville after this is not the worst thing (although i think this play is by them is not sustainable, especially in the playoffs).

Like i said: At this point getting and staying healthy is the most important thing... I really fear those games against Dallas and Vegas and the cheapshots coming our way....

 

[Bensch88]

What a game from Cheeks. I feel a lot better with him in net that 4giev.

I bet the team does too

 

[dahrougem2]

I love Drouin being the entry man on the PP. If you do the slingshot it SHOULD be your best thinker with the puck.

 

[Ceremony]

I get it, but has anyone won the Cup with a rookie mystery box goalie with so few NHL games?

Annunen has only been with the team since the All-Star break and has more starts than Prosvetov had in the previous 4 months. He's definitely been getting a look.

 

[niwotsblessing]

It's funny how our goalies suck when giving up goals on deflections, perfect shots (corners, bar down, post and in), and straight-up lucky bounces.

But when our team does the same to opposing goalies (7 times yesterday), it's only because our guys are the most awesome players on the planet (granted this is true in the case of MacKinnon and Makar) who are beating goalies who combine the best traits of Roy, the *great* Billy Smith, and prime Dominic Hasek.
