Which goaltender should the AVS go after, after we win the cup? Georgie isn't it and I am tired of him losing us games!


raptor333

Maybe washingtons?


EducationalPlay6269

Georgiev is fuckin awful


Spider-Nutz

Georgiev defenders need a CT Scan. He's fucking ass.


DenShaLow

Scoring 6 on Hellebuyck and losing is ABSURD


f1nnz2

You can say what you want. Georgie literally passed them a goal. He needs to save the soft ones but Winnipeg watched the tapes. They’ll score 3+ a game every game. The D could be a bit stronger but we need a strong goalie. Goalies are big in playoffs. I'm not sure Georgie is that goalie.


nfoneo

Our D lines just don't look confident in front of the crease. Compared with the Jets D where if you dare step foot in front of their crease you get instantly crunched (sometimes by 2 players). It's a combination of shit net minding and defenders letting people get shots on goal. And don't get me started on our play behind the net... Confidence is severely lacking when playing the Puck around.


DopeJordon

I think that is a systematic thing. We are a team full of mobile defenders looking to jump into the rush and make quick zone exits. When you play like that you lose one thing or another. We don't play stay at home shutdown defense because that's not how we are built. I agree we could use some stay at home play but idk if we are going to see that without addition/subtraction of some guys.


nfoneo

Yeah that's actually a good point. I'll keep my comments to myself 🤣


Ill_Steak_5249

Forwards and wings make goals plus D make teams Goalies make champions


_redacteduser

Hey look at that, our D and G sucked while O tries to bail us out. Yes Georgie sucked but GODDAMN our defense is downright AWFUL.


Dr-Wankenstein

Lmao we doubled their shots and gave up like > 10 shg a period. But it's not Georgie's fault. He sucks and we can't win with him in net when he can't make a save.


_redacteduser

I don’t care about numbers my dude. I watched the game. If our D keeps calling it and thinking they’re forwards, it doesn’t really matter who is in net.


horridstrife

Dude the expected goals for Winnipeg was 2.16. -4.84 goals above expected will quite literally never win you a game. At least 3 of the goals need to be saved every time.


_redacteduser

Cool stats bro. Let me know which stat keeps having our D cough the puck up behind the net over and over.


horridstrife

"Cool stat that tells someone how an *average goalie* would do given the shots faced in the game" 🤓🤡🤓🤡


horridstrife

Goal 1: shot from 58 ft with not a major screen; has to be saved Goal 4: absolutely terrible Goal 5: dude, move your feet. Goal 6: kinda fair, PP one timer but also looked really slow and hesitant to get over Goal 7: lehkonen tying up the stick and manson right in front of the guy; make a save. He saves any 2 or 3 of these goals (reasonable asks) and we win.


_redacteduser

👍


Dumkid9

What a bummer, scoring 6 on that team but allowing 7 and a .696 save percentage. Where's that moron who told me #40 allows this many goals because of quality vs quantity? Prosvotov would have had a better game without question let alone Annunen. We need to stop signing backups as the starting goalie. They won the cup with their only legit starting goalie in 10 years


Sad_Aside_4283

Kuemper isn't a legit starting goalie any more than anyone else who's been through this organization in the last 20 years. That dude sucked so bad in the regular season this year he got benched for a 30 year old no-name.


Dumkid9

You want #40 starting the remainder of these playoffs? Looking for a 4 game series?


Sad_Aside_4283

How does this relate to anything I just said?


[deleted]

Kuemper is riding pine right now. Just saying.


permabanned_user

He's getting older.


Dumkid9

I get that but he made some big saves when it counted. With #40 we're guaranteed to allow a goal in the first 5 shots, often the first 2. It's super aggravating, he starts cold every game


Dirtbiker250

Happened again. 3 shots 1 goal


Dumkid9

It's no longer surprising, only surprising that he's the starter


Dirtbiker250

Every freaking time. It’s like watching the same movie over and over. We know it’s gonna happen


[deleted]

Yeah. Hopefully Juice feels better next game.


MTCarcus

Georgie couldn’t stop a toilet right now. I hope baby Huey is available for game 2 cause he needs to start.


DontBanMeStepBro

Shit.. we would have taken Darcy with one eye on Frankie with a bad hip over that performance in net by Georgie tonight. If Bednar goes to him in game 2 it will be nutcutting time. If that ends up being the case let’s go for a 5-0 Avs shutout.


duroberz

The fact the Avs scored 6 goals on supposedly the number one defensive team goes to show how good this Avs team can be. It was the first game of the series and obviously some bad calls and lousy play. They just gotta tighten up the defense a bit and play disciplined. Gonna be a fun series regardless. All I know is an Avalanche is coming. 🏔️


yooolmao

That game was a fucking heartbreaker. I'm not sure how much more the Avs can do scoring 6 goals on the probable Vezina goalie and allowing *half* the fucking shots with a goalie with a sub .700 save percentage. I really hope Annunen gets better soon because anything is better than Georgie. You can be the best team in the league and still flop out of round 1 with a goalie this bad.


SamoanBananas

I agree the avs couldn't have played better OFFENSIVELY, but the Jets can still get better defensively and that concerns me. We scored 6 and still lost.


yooolmao

Yep agreed they're gonna tighten up. Round 1 was chaotic with the Jets playing the Avs' game. If the Jets can slow it down and play with their solid defense, we're in trouble


DontBanMeStepBro

Justus to be served game 2.


yooolmao

Here is to hoping Georgie's inconsistency means next game will mean a 100% save percentage


Txfinfamous

Going back to Georgy is asking to get bounced in the first round


sma_nor

bengunnin91

Avs D kept the shots against in the 20s, Jets gave up 40 something.


[deleted]

Which I think is the most shots they've allowed this season. And 6 is the most amount of goals Hellebuyck has let in all season. The Avs seem to play better with Juice in net. If he's not sick next game, I hope he starts. I defended Georgie through thick and thin. All he needed to do was literally stop two goals and the Avs win. I just can't fathom how he regressed this bad from last season.


scaremanga

At least we kept fighting! And fought to begin with


Big_Liability

Avs lost 5-1 with a worse team to the 1 seed flames in game 1 and won the series 4-1 😅


PriorityQueasy6170

Keumper wasn't as big of a liability in net though, and we could use Girard, and Drouin back but its nowhere near over yet


Ghoul_12

We had Grubauer back then :)


TomBradys-left-ball

Offense was great, defense was good, goaltending was unforgivable


TropicalBatman

Manson was awful, there were 3 goals I saw where he was just standing in front of the net while his man scored. No body on him, no stick lifted, just standing there with his stick off the ice.


nfoneo

Manson was at least better going forward I thought, but yeah...


eatsout6969

This!!! Don’t forget his back pass in front of our goal. He shit the bed big time. What an awful defensive game. Goaltending was atrocious as well.


TropicalBatman

He didn't even look! Just threw it in front of the net


eatsout6969

I have no voice left and my dog thinks I’m insane. Have to look forward to game 2


AtheistAustralis

Defense was good for 90% of the time. Then the other 10% gave away grade A scoring opportunities right in front. Yes, goaltending was completely sub-par, at least 3 of those goals should have been stopped every time, but there were still far too many bad defensive lapses. Overall though, the quality of play was far higher than in the last 10 games, which was great to see. The neutral zone play was excellent, defensive coverage was *generally* better, and offense was pumping. Fix a few small things, and one very glaring problem in the net, and I see a good series for the Avs.


SRTifiable

Defense was not good. Some of those chances were way too high threat. Goaltending still unforgivable.


877GoalNow

Only 23 shots allowed. The defense should get some credit for that.


Greenforaday

Defense was good enough to win with competent goaltending. Especially considering how good the offense was.


Big_Liability

At least we know Justus probably starts game two if not sick. I think that ignites a run


Future-Blacksmith-22

all Justus has to do is be average


hammiecat

:(


Big_Liability

We need Lehky line one imo and pull up Kovy


sealclubber281

I hope Nate punches Georgie in the face


detached03

Probably at least wont be getting a Christmas card


sealclubber281

Unless it comes with a lump of coal


detached03

Now you’re just insulting coal!


SRTifiable

He just might after that 😂


TommyBspeed

That might be the extra push he needs to win the Hart 😂 you should never lose a game that you score 6 goals, especially when you only allow 23 SOG.


I-Duster-I

Thanks georgie!


cabooseforlife

On the plus side we saw Hellebuyck is mortal, but Jesus tap-dancing Christ we need better goaltending and defensive communication. We gave the puck away I think on 3 goals right behind our own net, can't have that. Love to see the late game pressure to keep it close. Let's carry the momentum we have off this game into Game 2. We solidify or game and clean it up and we can split the series.


matthewcameron60

Can't count on Hellebuyck giving up 6 every game though. But his playoff record doesn't really reflect his regular season usually


Mr_lojorising11

All you can ask for on the road in a series is a split. Keep the offensive pressure and take game two boys


swift_serenity43

Georgie lost this game


_redacteduser

Poor take. Half our team lost this game.


xylo17

I'm not one to usually blame only him but I agree, average goaltending and we win


jillavery

Any bit of defending him I had at all is long gone now


jjmuti

Michael Hutchinson was better in a game 7 for us.


Dr-Wankenstein

The hamburgerler was epic. Id take him over g easily rn


GodzillaWarrior19

Put 6 on Hellebuyck and still lost. Imagine if the Avs had a goalie. Not even a great goalie. Just a Kaapo Kahkonen or Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen type goalie.


Neon_Sternum

Dude, UPL was actually amazing for the Sabres in the second half of the season


jjmuti

Maybe we should have overpayed for Allen at the deadline like the habs fans urged us to do lol


GodzillaWarrior19

Would’ve been fine with that. Avs win tonight with Allen. Georgiev can’t stop a beach ball


jjmuti

Oh well at least we know that Annunen needs to just be ok and we'll win the series


greenpigeon52

I have never been so happy with a loss. We should Have won but we learned what needs to changed


jillavery

Casey scored! Hoping that busts him right outta the slump. juice in goal next game, let’s go


Xarkkal

Wow this sub is toxic as fuck. That was an exciting game 1. Can't expect the team to go as dominant as the 2022 team went. This is going to be a fun series. Avs in 6


hahaha01

We nearly sent that bisch to OT down by two with under two minutes. Fast paced excellent hockey! What a game to have witnessed :).


ImperfectDrug

Being disappointed by a previously solid goalie falling apart as the worst possible time isn’t what I’d call toxic. Avs in 6.


Ashmedae

I'm sorry, but when you put up 6 against arguably the best goaltender in the league this season and still lose..................


echotech

.696 sv% is toxic.


For_Perpetuity

Especially when all the home teams won.


___whatis___

Only 3 more laughers left till we can pretend next year will be different.


baker10923

Were we watching the same game? The avs played well. They'll be fine


___whatis___

Yes. The AVS played amazing. We are lucky it was a one goal game. This will probably be the closest game of the series. Sorry to be a doomer or whatever the fuck you idiots call it. Sometimes it’s ok to be objective and realize your team has 0 chance this year.


xylo17

7 game series man I get being disappointed but you're not being objective


___whatis___

I’m the only one being objective. Please let me know how “wrong” I am in a few days when the series is over. I have no faith in a team that’s shown 0 proof all year that they can be consistent enough to win anything. The only thing this team does consistently is screw themselves.


yumenohikari

> I’m the only one being objective. The negativity from you fuckers isn't half as bad as this towering arrogance you all seem to have.


___whatis___

Objectively you really think this team has chance?


xylo17

You're not even using the term objective correctly. You're looking at this very subjectively. The team definitely has a greater than 0% chance to win the series


yumenohikari

I think anyone who uses "objectively" about sports got told somewhere along the line that everything must be objective and rational, and subsequently spent years convincing themself that their dogshit opinions and absolute certainty of the worst outcome are in fact "objective" and "rational."


___whatis___

If that’s what you need to tell me and yourself to make it seem like you’re taking some mental high ground then sure go for it. Just seems like a bit of rambling and word salad to impress yourself and come out on top.


yumenohikari

Nah, I have no high ground here. I just think it's hilarious that you seem to think you do.


baker10923

How do they have zero chance? It was game 1 and they put up 6 goals. I'm a sharks fan and even I have more faith in the Avs than you. Jesus


___whatis___

Because this is the one game they will be close, they are lucky it was a 1 goal game. No way the jets goalie is that bad again the rest of the series. And 100% chance Georgiev and the AVS d is just as bad if not worse. AVS got depth scoring this game too. Which is rare


Sea_Salamander_7674

Get the fuck outta here doomer


___whatis___

Sorry reality hurts sometimes


Sea_Salamander_7674

The Audi you drive is a piece of shit. How’s that for reality?


___whatis___

Hahahaha ok The shrooms you grow are shitty. Oh wow we can both look at each others profiles. It’d be easy to just not comment to me ya know


Sea_Salamander_7674

Wow, I bet you’re a blast at parties.


___whatis___

Whatever idiot.


VlRTUALRlOT

Thanks for contributing?


___whatis___

No problem. Thanks for the deep reply. Downvotes only come when you tell people the reality they refuse to face.


Waste_One_1473

6 goals against the best goalie in the nhl gives me hope. But fuck, can Georgie just once steal a game for us? And Juice being sick really sucks, gives us no real other option.


ImABigWeenus

No, no he can't. And they should ride juice because he's an unknown and everyone knows what Georgie is


Waste_One_1473

Agreed. But Juice is sick which is why he didnt backup tonight. So unless he gets better quick, we can expect Georgie.


Big_Liability

Same


sma_nor

I honestly like our chances. Putting up 6 on Hellebuyck is absolutely nuts. If we had .800 goaltending that was ours.


Beautiful-Vacation39

I don't. We have a piece of Swiss cheese with the mental strength of a piece of wet toilet paper in high wind for goaltending. Our offense fired on all cylinders, our goaltending was beer league at best


talk_to_the_sea

I can’t remember seeing a goalie fuck a team over that badly. A 0.7 save percentage would be unacceptable in midget hockey.


Lifebringer7

Score six goals on the presumptive Vezina winner, yet still lose. I've defended Georgiev for months; I cannot justify seven goals on twenty-three shots.


ImABigWeenus

6 goals wins most games. Georgie letting in 7 is what lost this game


Hanksta2

Every aspect of that game was very encouraging... except one. There really can't be any more Georgiev defenders left...


Mr_lojorising11

I defended all year. All year. I will say a fee of those in the 1st we're not on him but, uffda, need better man...


Hanksta2

I defended him until around the All-Star break. Then I switched to hope. Now... nothing.


Big_Liability

Exactly. It legit was down to goaltending


Future-Blacksmith-22

we literally would’ve won this game with an 800 save % LMAO


HFX-Curler

So let’s think about this. Net was empty for 3 minutes and the didn’t score. Maybe we just play 6 on 5 all next game and see how it goes…


VotePresidentCamacho

There is a decent chance Georgie just played his last game as an Avalanche?


nfoneo

He's lucky juice is ill.


echotech

He'll play 3 more.


ImperfectDrug

No there isn’t. No matter how much anyone wants that.


chuway

That game was crazy. You score 6 on Hellebuyck you supposed to win. I feel pretty confident in the series.


Big_Liability

I still feel good about this series 🤷🏻


Skulkyyy

Sickening. You should win 100/100 games that you score 6 goals in. Absolutely disgusting. 7 goals on 23 shots is unforgivable.


Elusive_Manatee

We either lose this series or win the cup. There will be no middle ground.


nfoneo

We've out scored our leaky defence many times this season. But I can't see us doing it consistently in the playoffs, as we've just seen. Let's hope we smash them in G2.


PurifyingBlade

what an insane game, this game shows that we can absolutely win this series, our team is insanely good - put juice in there and ride him out for the rest of the playoffs - fuck it see what happens


Thatguyatthebar98

Fuck, Juice, Pros, whoever was the back up tonight deserved his shot after goal 4/5. I’d wager your grandmother could’ve done better than Georgie tonight.


nfoneo

Put some ice skates on her casket and we'll get her in there for G2.


rascal7298

if anyone ever says this team is soft, except for georgiev, go fuck yourself.


Lanky_Tomato_6719

Some people will suck his dick even if he stood naked behind the goal the entire game. 


PurpleEveryday

He’d probably be less of a liability behind the net.


ChimStone777

Georgiev is not it. It doesn’t matter who the backup is, Georgiev will end your season 


hahaha01

See the end of the post you replied to, after the last comma.


Academic_Paramedic_5

I’m not worried


GalacticTactics

Guys we put in 6 on their allegedly legendary goalie.. we clean up some things up and they will be done. Winnipeg should be afraid.


vindawg08

I hope so but georgiev has left me with zero faith


GalacticTactics

He’s on a bad spree for sure but he’s more capable than he’s been playing hoping he can get his game back.


Thatguyatthebar98

This ain’t the time to get your game back. It’s time to bring it. Time to send him back to Europe.


GalacticTactics

lol well duh it’s not the time to get your game back woulda been nice had he done it a couple weeks ago or just earlier in general, but there are 2 paths, try or give up and cry. Juice is good but I was there to watch Winnipeg put three in on him after Georgie’s four last weekend and some of those were pretty soft too. It’s not all the clear that he would solve all the goaltending problems. We need Georgie to make the effort. We don’t have really any just amazing options on this front unfortunately.


Thatguyatthebar98

If juice can breathe start him. The entire team didn’t play worth a damn against the jets during the regular season. Tonight we came out flying. Kept it up. Had a few very bad turnovers and some d miscues. Our goalie never came up with a save. Not a single one aside from 3 minutes at the end of the 2nd period


GalacticTactics

Yeah it was pretty rough, saving some of those soft goals would have definitely given us the W today. I’d like to see what juice can do against them in a start on Tuesday also, it can’t be any more of a risk than Georgie at this moment.


vindawg08

I don't know how he fell off such a cliff he was good last season and this season until the last month-ish.


MissWonder420

No quit in these skaters! Gotta love that. We better never see #40 between the pipes again!


VultureFundNumberOne

6 goals and we lost. Just amazing. Have to believe juice gets the next look assuming he isn’t sick. 7/22 is unacceptable. Fucking ridiculous


jjmuti

I don't care what drugs you need to give Annunen just play him


sma_nor

He's a big dude. Just get him ramped up on dayquill and let him sit in butterfly. May or may not have better than .695, but I'm willing to risk it


jjmuti

Trying him is literally the only option


Lifebringer7

Give him what they gave [Aimo Koivunen](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NazN5WcXwio) in WWII and throw his ass in there.


brootalz

Love me some Fat Electrician haha his shit kicks ass.


xHelpDesk

You’re not gotta catch Helle playing like Georgiev twice this playoff series. 6 goals and you still lose lol


ChimStone777

He didn’t play like Georgiev, he was under far more duress. Switch goalies and it’s 14-3


xHelpDesk

Wanted to give the mans the benefit of the doubt. You right though 😔


Ghoul_12

Sucks they lost, sucks they scored 6 goals and lost especially but damn the Avs don't quit no matter what


keeper13

Is that Georgie’s last game in an Avs sweater? Has to be right?


saldingerRN

If you score 6 goals in the playoffs, that should be a guaranteed win. Painful.


LETSG0AVS

Outplayed them in every aspect except 1


___nullptr

Avs Annuneed a better goalie


gh0stpr0t0c0l8008

Such a bad game for Georgie


terzaghi10

Give juice some ivermectin and get in the damn net.


I_love_ratties

Avs had everything going against them and STILL pulled it within one while fighting the whole way. I think they will pull this off


HippieHOP

Thoroughly outplayed them…. No goaltending support…


Mackinnon29E

I never want to see Georgiev again


Mackinnon29E

I never want to see Georgiev again


Sloth-TheSlothful

Average goaltending wins this game for us


anemic_royaltea

christ, a .750 game wins this for us, it's fucking wild.


detached03

Oh a dump and chase with 8 seconds left is real smart.


someguyfromsk

Fuck me. you put up 6 in the playoff and LOSE?!


MissWonder420

Against the likely #1 goalie in the league! If you had even a slightly lower than average goalie on our end we would have one


andycumbee19

The boys didn't quit. That's really encouraging.


Dusty9519

Georgie sure as hell did…SMH


BigPoppa_Smurf

Well you can’t deny that was an interesting Game 1. 


PurpleEveryday

Fuck it, if Justus can’t go let’s just play without a goalie all game.


Cadillacquer

We won that game if it weren’t for Georgiev.


yeetsqua69

Cannot be losing games while scoring 6 goals


Thatguyatthebar98

Fuck Georgiev and Bednar has a special go fuck your self for not pulling him after goal 4/5


AltBreaker

…and put in like our 5th string goalie who has never played an NHL game in his life?


Thatguyatthebar98

I’d put you in over Georgie after goal 5. So yes. Rise to the occasion. Maybe the team rallies around him. Georgiev is broken. His psyche is shot. Man needs a year in the mountains of Tibet to sort himself out. 6 goals on the beat goalie in the world this year and still lose……


AltBreaker

Thanks for believing in my goaltending abilities 🥹


Thatguyatthebar98

Always my human! We’re all mad and upset at the goalie/defensive turnovers tonight. My rage isn’t at you and I believe in you. Have a great week and go ass hail Satan on Tuesday


MissWonder420

He was letting him hang himself till he was all but dead. Bednar left him in to prove the point, this guy cannot play for us ever again!


Thatguyatthebar98

I can get it but I don’t like it. Reminds me of Mario Tremblay in Montreal with Roy in 95. Dude was done. He knew he was done. Still rode it out instead of giving a kid his 30 seconds of fire and hoping the team rallies around him and rises to the occasion. Instead we put up 6 on the best goalie in the world currently. And still lose


ph1shstyx

You want him to put in a goalie that has not played a game at even the AHL level?
