Series Talk: WCQF: (C3) Colorado Avalanche vs (C2) Winnipeg Jets | Avs Win 4-1

[John Mandalorian]

I don't know why it can't be both that the defense needs to be better and that Georgiev was awful.

It’s been discussed ad nauseum. Every time Georgiev has a terrible game, there’s a back and forth between people making excuses for him by blaming the defense and those who expect an NHL caliber goalie to make a save sometimes since the defense is almost never going to be perfect. It’s tedious to blame defensive mistakes when no one criticizing GeogieVII says he needs to make every save.

It’s like criticizing GeorgieVII necessitates interventions from those wanting to blame the defense for not being perfect.

And point of fact, the same D who wasn’t perfect only gave up 23 shots.

This is what gives me hope for the series. Jets obviously didn't play a perfect game, but I think the majority of their lack of success was because we played our game. If we can continue to play our game, and we can get some sort of save from a goaltender, there's no reason to think we cannot win this series handsomely.

This should have been the game the jets came out gunning, game 1 in front of the home crowd when you just wrestled home-ice advantage. No way you want to come out and lose it straight away. And yet, the Avs stomped them, apart from the whole goals thing, haha.

The positive thing is that many of our bottom six players like Trenin, Duheime, Wood and Colton are guys who show up when it comes Playoffs and you can just notice them. They seem to be playing on another level come playoff time.

Speaking of Trenin... one of the funniest things from last night was him skating as hard as he could to forecheck and just falling down. Dude might be more bambi than Rants.

 

[The Moops]

Some people are, for whatever reason, determined to dislike him as a player.

Byram. That's the only reason

Literally the only reason at this point. We could have traded Byram for a 19 year old Crosby signed for 8 years @ $1.2M and you'd still hear people crying about him

If Annunen is still sick, the only option is Georgiev unfortunately. Can’t really start Prosvetov and expect good results either

Literally how could it be worse? The only thing I didn't see Georgiev do last night was pick up the puck and throw it into the net himself. And we might just see that in game 2 after the dam breaks 2 minutes into the game

 

[Balthazar]

Georgiev has mentally checked out, he more than likely needs psychological help.

If they start him again tomorrow instead of calling up Prosvetov the loss is going to be 100% on management.

Yup, all the wishful thinking is over. He's not gonna magically turn it around. Bednar needs to put his balls on the table and put Prosvetov in game 2. Bank that the Jets don't have the scouting report on him and hope Annunen is back for 3. Running Georgiev back is just pure madness at this point.

Georgiev was an active participant in the NYR locker room brawls. He did not care how big the other guy was. I would not worry if he throws the puck on purpose in his own net, I am more worried about him totally flipping out and smashing his stick on the back of the head of one of our own team players.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

If Annunen can't go tomorrow, Provy will. That's my guess

 

[UncleRisto]

There's absolutely zero way anyone starts game 2 other than Georgiev, is there?

 

[SirLoinOfCloth]

If Annunen can't go tomorrow, Provy will. That's my guess

My guess would be if Annunen can't go tomorrow, George starts and Provy will relieve him if he shits the bed.

 

[Balthazar]

It's not his fault but Annunen literally couldn't get sick at a worse time.

This was the shittiest timing ever to get sick. For him and for the team.

 

[henchman21]

If my guy with the bat does his job.

 

[NorthernAvsFan]

That Bednar answer is absolutely terrifying. It sounds like he’s planning to start Georgiev for game 2.

He can’t keep pissing away games.

 

[the_fan]

The NHL network just did a good breakdown on Avs defensive mistakes and goals allowed by Georgiev and it’s the same thing I’ve been saying. The defensive breakdowns are kind of breakdowns which you need a good goalie to make saves, and since we don’t have that goalie, Avs need to stop making those mistakes.

The kind of mistakes they make are easily avoidable. They are lazy brain farts if everyone pays attention to smallest of details, those mistakes won’t happen. They need to avoid those mistakes because they know Georgiev is not gonna stop the puck. That’s the only thing they can do to win this round since we don’t have another goalie option

Yes there is....

 

[Grackle Party]

I hope I’m wrong but I bet 4eorge gets the start

 

[UncleRisto]

If my guy with the bat does his job.

You're our only hope, Tonya Harding.

 

[S E P H]

I really hope Moser phrased that wrong, because that makes it sound like were getting Georgiev back tomorrow.

We were always getting Georgiev in game 2, it would be ridiculous to expect anything else based on the words from Bednar. He was pretty adamant that the defensive mistakes were responsible for 2-3 of the goals.

The defense isnt anywhere near 'allow 30% of shots on goal to score' bad

You can't expect a team to be perfect defensively.

Last night was the best they can do.

Expecting anything beyond that is too much. You should actually expect worse.

Excellent, that means our goalies was only directly responsible for.... *checks notes.... 5 goals against!



I just booked June 24th off for the Cup Parade!

They don’t have to be perfect but don’t make simple mistakes like Manson throwing the puck right in front of his own net for an easy chance against. Or don’t give up a 2 on 1 when the game is tied or you have the lead etc… those are avoidable mistakes which will prevent goals against, and any goal prevention right now will help the Avs since we have a goalie who can’t make saves

 

[Spilot23]

Isn't what Bednar said the last couple of games in regular season where Georgiev was still sh**? Reset and put it behind you. How many games does he have to do that? Because we might only have 3 left.

 

[AVSfan2daMAX]

They're not calling Prosvetov up just to take in the Winnipeg sights.

Give him the net if Justus is unavailable and see if he can continue his strong AHL play.
