GDT: R1G1 - Aves @ Jetes

[The Kingslayer]

All situations xGF in the six games so far (not counting ENGs):

Toronto: 4.5 -- actual goals scored: 1
Boston: 3.7 -- actual goals scored: 4

Carolina: 3.11 -- actual goals scored: 2
NYI: 2.99 -- actual goals scored: 1

Florida: 4.15 -- actual goals scored: 2
Tampa Bay: 2.61 -- actual goals scored: 2

NYR: 2.91 -- actual goals scored: 3
Washington: 2.3 -- actual goals scored: 1

Vancouver: 2.27 -- actual goals scored: 3
Nashville: 1.65 -- actual goals scored: 2

Colorado: 3.99 -- actual goals scored: 6
Winnipeg: 1.96 -- actual goals scored: 7

Something seem a bit off? It's not like Lindgren, Samsonov, Varlamov, and Andersen are these insane goaltenders. Those are guys Georgiev SHOULD be contemporarires with. But nuh uh.

When my co workers posted Fourgievs numbers all over my office I had no comeback for it. Tomorrow once again im going to have to sit and take it. I hate Fourgiev for this and honestly if Annunen is good to go and he doesnt im done. I will take 4 goals against on Annunen over seeing Fourgiev ever again. I dont care at this point. I couldnt even get excited when the Avs had a 1-0 lead or a 3-2 lead tonight because I f***in knew what was coming. SN posted Fourgievs numbers against the Jets this season. It was something like 6.92 GAA and a .756 SV% or some shit. Like how the f***. If Fourgiev was a likeable person it be way harder to hate on him but I can almost guarantee hes a piece of shit.

The two goals Toews looked mediocre on were a result of him having no trust in Georgiev. On the 2 on 1 he took away the pass and then tried to take the shot away because he know Georgiev sucks.

On the one pass he flubbed, Georgiev is playing with the puck behind the net, gives Toews a bouncing pass and then can't make the save when Toews turns it over.

The forward was at the boards ready for the pass and Georgiev went the wrong way.

Just awful.

I don't care how many high danger chances Georgiev had, he let in 7 goals, they might not be awful goals but he didn't steal a single save.

 

[The Kingslayer]

I dont know if you guys saw SportsNet pre game but I have never in my life seen a coach so relaxed and cracking jokes with a reporter like I saw Rick Bowness did tonight. He knows this is going to be easy. The Jets were laughing in game having a gay ole time pointing at Fourgiev and taunting the Avs bench. The Jets know they dont even have to be great to beat the Avs because of Fourgiev. I dont blame them for being like this either. f*** I hate fourgiev.

 

[MacKaRant]

Couldn't watch the game live, just got finished watching it on delay. I can't think of something more on brand for this season than scoring 6 goals on the presumptive Vezina winner and still contriving to lose the game. Some weird stuff happening with broken or dropped sticks on a couple goals against, but surely we could have gotten a save here or there. Georgiev looks small and leaky in there, it must be so disheartening.

 

[Raucherhusten]

THIS summs it up nicely ...



Also ... I really hate his stupid face!

 

[the_fan]

Georgiev was really good last year. People can make this videos all they want asking why did the Avs trade for him. He was 7th in Vezina voting, and after a season like that, was CMac supposed to trade him? No one could have predicted Georgiev would have such a complete melt down drop off sesson this year. In fact we were all excited for Georgiev who started this season on fire, then the wheels suddenly fell off

 

[Hinterland]

If Annunen is unavailable for next game i'd rather call-up and start Provy than George.

Bednar does not trust Prosvetov so I doubt that's gonna happen. Annunen is probably gonna start if he's fully healthy but otherwise I think it's gonna be Georgiev's net again.

I think if Georgiev is in net for game 2, Bednar will for the first time in his career be in danger of losing a room.

For not starting a guy that has been waived by Arizona just to then suck with the Avs again this year? Arizona didn't even want him back on their farm when the Avs waived him. The guy cleared waivers despite still being on his ELC. Yes, he then put up some good numbers for the Avs farm but he's not realistically an option for the Avs at this point.

 

[Sea Eagles]

God I hope Georgiev doesn't use social media or go on the internet. Would be such an uplifting experience for him.

Keeping Georgiev in net is equivalent to giving up on the rest of the team.

It. Doesn't. Matter.

Anything is better than Georgie. The team has given up on him. He's given up on himself. Bednar is the only person that thinks he's salvagable.

There is no point in repeating this insanity. You will get no worse with ANY goaltender in our system right now, including the new college kid and he did NOT look good when he played for the Eagles.

I hope he does and he reads this board and sees me say "do better or f*** off back to Russia"

That's rough mate.

Went as predicted (and the majority in here feared):

The Team was ready to play and roll, finally lit up Helleybuck, managed 46 shots on goal, dominated the game. 6 Goals in Game 1, away, wins you any f***ing game.

And then Mr. Alexander Georgijewitsch Georgijew decided to take his play on another level. Unfortunately in the wrong direction.

7 Goals on 23 shots..... SEVEN ON 23 !!!!

Every 3rd shot went in. He handed the Jets Game 1. This was the game to steal Home-Ice. It was right there to take with Helleybuck not on Vezina-Level and the Jets D not on their level too......

He dont need to be on "Roy-Level", just give us an average goaltending an make some saves to bail your team out. Thats all. I really thought, until the last, he will somehow get his shit together just be good enough to give his teammates a chance to win.....

But nope.....

Losing Drouin in Game 82, and Anunnen getting sick at the worst possible time was allready a bad omen......

Imagine sitting in that locker after this game you should have won.......Especially sitting there with MacKinnon (i really hope he doesnt want to strangle our starter right there)

And the worst part is yet to come:
Georgiev will start Game 2 too, because there is no other goalie available. The team knows they can play lights out and still lose the game. This game 1 might be the final backbreaker and nail in the coffin to this season. Even if we somehow get by Winnipeg, Dallas or Vegas will be our final destination.

And no chance in hell that the Jets and Helleybuck come out like that again. We had them in Game 1...

We are heading back to Denver down 2-0 and all our hopes are on Anunnen getting healthy by Thursday....Its laughable at this point.....

We wont win the cup this year. Not with the worst goaltending of any teams in the playoffs.

But now i know how Edmonton-Fans felt back in 2022 when their starter couldnt stop a f***ing beach ball.....

 

[Hinterland]

Keeping Georgiev in net is equivalent to giving up on the rest of the team.

The team gave up on Prosvetov as well. The entire NHL has given up on Prosvetov. The dude already signed a KHL contract. He knows his NHL career is over. The Coyotes didn't even want him with their AHL farm anymore. You think the team would have more trust in that guy than in Georgiev? I doubt that. Georgiev wasn't good but we're talking about just one away loss. Even if he loses another the series still is far from over. Too early to panic.

I'm sure Annunen is gonna start if healthy. At least he should. Should have started game 1 already if healthy. However, as explained above, I don't think Prosvetov, at this point, is an option in the NHL. I don't think he's an option for Bednar either. Certainly not down just 0-1.

No more rough than his performance

You think anyone in the league wants Georgiev at this point?

Prosvetov may not be good, but he's not a mental case that's just out there thinking about borscht instead of making a damn save.

Not at 3.4 Millions. But in theory? Yes. He'd gonna get lots of interest if bought out for example.

Prosvetov is heading back to Russia because he didn't cut it. Totally not an option being down one single away game. Bednar would be bonkers to start a guy that's out of the league for good in a playoff game down just 0-1. Totally not gonna happen. Just gotta hope for a speedy Annunen recovery now.

Well Georgie has a buddy he can fly back with because I don't think Georgie is gonna take 1mil to be a backup in the NHL.

 

[Hinterland]

I don't know but what I do know is that no NHL team would pay Prosvetov 1 Mio. They wouldn't even want him on a league minimum contract. He cleared waivers on an ELC. Arizona didn't want him back on their farm. Georgiev isn't a starter. He's probably not even a good backup. But he's better than Prosvetov. Full stop.

 

[Bensch88]

Didnt think Georgiev could be worse but boy he sure can. You are well and truly f***ed if you score 6 freaking goals on Helly and still lose the game because your goaltender is THE WORST out there

 

[TruePowerSlave]

Play the next game without a goaltender. Maybe it will be a more competitive game.

 

[LOFIN]

You call up an ECHL goalie if you have to, but someone else needs to be in goal in G2

 

[MacKaRant]

Gentlemen, we have ourselves a Peter McNab kind of game. 7-6 final?

Nailed it

 

[missionAvs]

Fire Bednar for not playing the 2nd/3rd (?) string backup for the Eagles. 100%

When did I say fire Bednar?

 

[Grigowski]

The better team dominated this game.

..and still lost.... The reason why is lying on the table...

Unfortunately, our backup is sick (out of all times he got sick just punctual to game 1, another classic Avalanche-Story ).

So Bednar has to dress Georgiev in Game 2. There is no other choice.
Maybe call Franky and ask him if he has one game left in the tank.

If not by some miracle, thats the hill this team will die on. And another year and Mac´s Hart season wasted...

And that despite a strong TDL..... We relied on this starter and have deceived us terribly....

And our only hope is sick und probably not ready before game 3 or even 4. At this point the series might allready be over or out of reach.

God, i f***ing hate this team....
