TOI MacK: 24m, Mikko: 24m, Mitts: 21m, Kale: 25m, Toews: 23m.
I predicted score right yesterday 2-5. Gonna play lotto and get us Vasilesky!
Dang, Avs are beat up.
If Georgiev was in net last night this would’ve been an 8-2 loss. Let’s not pretend like the first 3 goals weren’t caused by complete defensive lapses by the team and a pure luck bounce of the puck going off the crossbar and right to Guentzel. The team is a disaster in front of the net right now.
Wondering if they do a Tatar style move soon to get an average/above average goalie
kappo played good he made some tough saves, that redirected pad save then with toews on him another 3 secs apart , none of those goals were his fault like good lord that was embarrassing defense bunch of damm pylons , and how many odd man rushes one results in a goal then they get a 3 on 2 on a pk like wtf ,kappo was the only one who came to play cleary and ill give it to him he could of collapsed after those first 3 he didnt .
That’s why Justus has become the starter go look at. his save % it’s .905 ,, I’m fine with Kahkonen as the back up at least we save 2 millions we can use somewhere else’s, or for another Goalie when the time comes ,, let’s not forget this team is playing with a lot of players that are too elevated in the line up or in the line up at all
Did you guys watch the same game as I watched? This loss is not on Kahkonen, he was NOT that bad.
That would have been a ten spot with Georgiev, he's mentally broken. To blame Kak for any of those goals is pretty tone deaf. Kylington needs to never wear an Avs sweater again. He's just not there. Suit up Ludvig for at least the size.
Avs are a terrible team out of the gate. As long as that doesn't t fixed they will struggle .
