  1. Georgiev has shown that he can play well in the playoffs and we have way bigger needs and question marks right now with Landeskog and Nichuskin.

  2. I’m all for Georgie and Juice! Don’t know what it is but there’s just something so endearing about Georgie. Here’s to another season similar to his first!

    Why would they? Georgiev played great and Annunen looks really promising.

    Because they have two goalies under contract and no cap space? Also goaltending wasn’t the issue in the playoffs after all

    dont even need to read the article

    here’s why they dont need to change anything: Georgiev has shown he can be an all star caliber goaltender and was our best player in round 2. we also have a great goalie prospect in annunen who can hopefully continue his high-level play next year

    When the defense isn’t leaving them out to dry both of the goalies are serviceable. If they’re not going to play defense they should probably go get a guy that can stand on his head every now and then.

    Can we just draft DU’s Matt Davis already…

    I was surprised by Juice’s numbers in his limited sample size. I know he mostly played against lower tier team but he had very solid sv%

    They shouldn’t. Georgie did fucking fine and everyone gave him shit for the most normal goalie slump that happens to every goalie at some point in their career. Goalies get paid a fraction what other players do and they have the hardest job on the entire team. But because it’s easy for brain dead fans to blame goalies, the NHL ownership capitalizes on that to leech off even more of the share of income and now it’s created a massive goalie shortage because they allow that attitude about goalies to persist. I feel bad for any goalie who goes through a rough time in this league. The mental fortitude and resilience georgiev showed carried us through games we should have lost. I love the dude and I hope he retires here. He feels like a goalie that belongs as our starter in Colorado. Dudes a quiet and tough bastard. Annunen has a really bright future ahead of him too. If that guy can keep playing the way he did and get better he’s going to retire as one of the best goalies of the modern era. We do not need to change up goalies. We need to solidify 2nd and 3rd lines and get this landy shit out of the way so we can focus on the cup. I think landy needs to retire if he’s going to be away for another season. It’s about time he took over as GM of the avs anyway: we all know that’s where he’s heading after his playing career is done and he’s earned it. Landy is the heart and soul of the avalanche just like Joe Sakic was when I was a kid watching the avs. The future for our club is bright. We are going to dominate the league for some time to come.
