No, idc hes our starter and changing starters 6 games before playoffs would NOT be a good thing, i like Annunen but i don't trust that hes ready for the playoffs we all have to remember the playoffs are a different level then the regular season Georgiev has playoff experience and Annunen don't. now i will gladly eat my words if Annunen takes over and we win the cup with him but right now Georgiev is the starter until he has proven hes not
I tend to mostly agree with your points, except that it's important to note that Georgiev is in the net against much higher tier team such as the Canucks, therefore leading to him facing just a better offense overall, whereas Annunen has played teams much lower in the standings. I do think Annunen is good, but I think the stats alone are a bit misleading. If Annunen was playing some of those higher teams I'm not so sure he would have performed as well as Georgiev
Georgiev is better than Kuemper, and if we can win it all with Darcy, we can with Georgie.
The key is the horrendous defense this season. I don't remember Kuemper being under siege with such bad defensive breakdowns in the '21-'22 season.
In my opinion, Georgiev needs more support from the defense. Once they fix it, he can regain his confidence. He's a talented goalie. And for his cap hit, we as fans shouldn't have him under a microscope like he currently is. Considering his cap hit of $3.4 AAV, Georgiev is a solid goaltender.
He is a decent goalie. He is not a goalie who steals games, but the Avs are also not a defensive team, they are an offensive team. I. This team it doesnt matter if you have Georgiev, Kuemper, or the God King Patrick Roy
Something that doesn't get brought up in this conversation is how inconsistent our D has been in our end. We have one of the best offensive D in the league, but we often suffer in our own zone because of it. The number of times I hear people say Georgie sucks because of X goal, which was a 2vgeorgie caused by a sloppy lazy pass is super high this season. No arguments about the preds game, but the season in general, people put a lot of the Defense's failures on him
Keep him as the starter, the Avs give up so many slot chances when Georgievs in net, its not his fault. He did get exposed high blocker against Nashville though.
Annunen is solid. I've been following him for a long time and it's great to see him starting to get some solid time in net. Some pretty high pressure games, but playoffs are a different animal, we will see how he handles that unique pressure as needed, but Georgie would be the smart bet. If Annunen takes over for Francouz as backup I think it will be interesting to see how good he really is over the course of a full season. He's solid for the Eagles, and the AHL is nothing to sneeze at, but still a totally different level. If I was a betting man I would say Annunen is kept around until Francouz is in good health, dropped back down to the Eagles, and left until he is needed as a replacement or until Francouz is off the roster unless Annunen pulls off some really wild stuff in the playoffs if he is called in. Francouz really pulled through when the Avs needed him last year, and they won't forget it.
All i say is that even though georgiev had tough games and those shots aren't his fault, he still needs to come out making big saves and hasn't if he does terrible come playoff time and terrible in a game of the playoffs definitely give the starting position to justus annunen give him some of these big teams to help his development of what top tier teams look like and a taste of what a playoff team is
7 regular season games left??? You can't do that to Georgiev…he's marginally better than Annunen (who looks pretty good) but switching now would harm Georgie more than elevate Annunen…a deep PO run is going to require both.
I think that he should remain starter and take a break till April 5 vs Edmonton but he needs to get control of his anger we can’t take unnecessary penalties because he does dumb shit like that again
Watching his glove play against edmonton, he needs a rest or something. He has so much issue with rebounding off the glove knockdown instead of catching the puck. Hes decent, but if he cant control the rebounds in front the avs are toast.
Alexandar Georgiev was ranked 8th best in the NHL recently. It wasn’t that long ago people were saying he was the second best goalie the Avalanche has had. No one can beat the legend Patrick Roy. Justus Annunen looks promising, but i it’s too early. You’ve definitely got to go with Georgiev for now! We are playing Dallas tonight at 8:00. Big game maybe for the division title. Game on! Maybe I should go?

Georgiev starting against Minny would mean Annunen is the starter for the moment, since the segababa in Edmonton will be by far the tougher game.
Hes just too inconsisent. For that value i would go get swayman if hes looking to leave boston.

Annunen looks so much more calm /composed/confident in net. Georgiev looks scattered all the time, IMO
Only thing for certain is that Georgiev is consistently inconsistent. Suck the Avs have not been able to get a steady solid goalie.
Colorado should have traded for an insurance goalie at the deadline. They had cap space and they’re in a contending window… 😖

Yes. Next question.

I say that you test Annunen against the Oilers. See if he’s ready.
Annunen has a baby face so I say for that reason he deserves the starting job right now.
He was great until he cut his hair. The Samson effect is real.
They just need to give George a rest. He's played way too much without a solid second. I'm also not opposed to Juice getting more playing time.
Keep him as the starter, the Avs give up so many slot chances when Georgievs in net, its not his fault. He did get exposed high blocker against Nashville though.
he has one bad game in a month and all yall lose your mind. Yall shall dump your partners after one bad day too

Yep
He is too leaky and gives up too many rebounds
They don't call him "Four-giev" for no reason.
They're both pretty good.

Doesnt it seem odd that Georgiev lets the first or second shot of the game in so often?
Well, we clinch the playoff spot, so it is smarter to rest your starters, especially the goalie.
Georgie has game. We know that. But NOW, he looks and acts desperate. He's not comfortable between the pipes. AT ALL.
Who should/could help him?
