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

[Gruyeriev]

Is Landy going to play for the Jets in round 2?

 

[rmthomson21]

So George is actually starting eh?

Ya, I'm holding myself accountable. I will not watch another game George starts, so good luck tonight lads, hopefully miracle on ice has plans of a sequel.

On the same train, godspeed ladies and germs. See you in G3 with Prostate

I have a really hard time believing they have been hiding his workouts on the ice, that he's been faking it in public workouts, and he'll just go from showing about 30% to 100%, and in game shape, in 2 weeks.

Have you followed Stone's miracle recovery from the injuries? It's possible

Unfortunately, Landy doesn't have access to bathe in the healing waters of the Bellagio fountain (funny story, my brother in law got drunk once as a teenager and streaked into there and got arrested)

Unfortunately, Landy doesn't have access to bathe in the healing waters of the Bellagio fountain (funny story, my brother in law got drunk once as a teenager and streaked into there and got arrested)

Wait a second, my wife doesn't have a brother.

[edit, nevermind you said as a teenager, not last week. My bad.]

Yes, but Stone is only "severely hurt" for about 6-7 weeks every year in March and April. Landy has been out since mid June of 2022.

Vegas is like the Yankees. CMac and Sakic are Boy Scouts. They don’t take advantage of loop holes.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

I mean they already give us as little information as possible about injuries and trade rumors. Would be par for the course really.

IDK, man. It's 2024. Everyone has a smart phone and access to social media. Where is he gonna go, especially around Denver, to work out hard on the ice where no one is going to see it, recognize him, and post about it online?

I mean, I guess they could be having him workout at 2-3 am, and/or taking him out of state in hopes no one sees. But, then, to have him show up occasionally at practice and intentionally dog it in workouts, just so everyone thinks he's not close, doesn't seem like something Landy, nor the Avs, would ever do.

4giev with a bounce back win tonight with 4 goals allowed and a 5-4 OT win .

Go Avs Go

Sadly yes. I am sure Vegas is hated around the league.

I can't believe we downgraded from Gruuu and Kuemper.

Duchene had his own gym at his home. Not every practice is public no? Plenty of times to work. Off hours when no one else at the ring.

 

[GeoRox89]

Hate Vegas but wish we had their owner and his willingness to spend on all the stuff that makes teams desirable beyond just spending to/beyond the cap

 

[AllAboutAvs]

Yep. Take those two games out, and his GAA is 1.98 with a .931 SV% across 19 games.

If you want to take out those two stinkers and his two shutouts, his GAA is still 2.21 and a .923 SV% across 17 games

Yeah I think Provy gets a bad rep on here. He has been very good overall. Bednar said that Provy was sent down to get games in. IMO the plan was for him to be the backup for the playoffs but when Annunen came up he started to do very well as well so the Avs stuck with him. And during that time Provy did extremely well in the AHL until he got hurt. He cooled off a bit on his return then he got sick.

If we lose this series, The Avs should fire Bednar and hire this man.

I feel like the worse case scenario is george plays well but we still lose. Gives bednar confidence to keep playing him and he again shits the bed in gm 6 or 7 to screw our chances

Bump.

 

[JLo217]

Avs were buzzing. They've played like the better team in the series minus goaltending.

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Makar and Nuke very clearly "flipped the switch"

Cale making his case to be our Conn Smythe guy again if we manage to go all the way.

Now watch him slash Jones next game.

Super happy for Georgiev and huge kudos to him. Let's hope it sets the tone going forward and it's not more inconsistency.

There's something reassuring about hitting rock bottom. Takes the pressure off because you know it can't get worse. I think that's what we saw tonight, a guy with nothing to lose.

I had a quiet confidence all day about this game, although I didn't expect that performance from Georgie. We should probably be up 2-0 and we are heading home with Girard returning to the lineup and Kovalenko waiting in the wings to be called upon. If we advance we have Drouin coming back, and still potentially Landeskog.

If the boys can scrap it out now I feel good about this team moving forward - feels like all the other teams are playing at full strength or near it (minus Vancouver).

And the team has flipped the switch. Still a few warts and scary moments due to some brainfarts, but by and large this team has collectively entered business mode. Really happy with Mittlestadt's game too. My hype is gaining steam as long as we can get some solid goaltending moving forward. Also big props to Kiviranta who is proving to be a playoff player and to Trenin for redeeming himself and creating the GWG
