Alexandar Georgiev Pulled In Season Opener | Avalanche Review Game 1

Colorado Avalanche VS Vegas Golden Knights
Both Alexandar Georgiev and Justus Annunen had tough nights. That's the recipe for eight goals against and a blowout despite a hat trick from Mikko Rantanen as the Avs are their own worst enemy against Vegas.

Rudo's game reviews are the best thing on DNVR by far.

[@zacharyplohr3513]

He is the only good one left on DNVR. Sucks Jesse, AJ and Megan were great

[@Awolfx]

I really don't care that it's game 1 of a new season, Georgiev has shown time and time again that he's just too inconsistent to be relied and trusted upon to be a starting goal tender.

[@HiGuy-c1y]

Sad to waist time on this goalie hes a good back up

[@StanP55]

This is such good hockey content. Thanks Rudo.

[@cuff02]

On the plus side, Mikko is on course for a 246 goal season. Every cloud 👌

[@dawkinakus8665]

The Return of Fourgiev!! It's going to be a loooong season!!!

[@LalienX]

This is a pretty high quality game review. Subbed!

[@ColeDalton-j8x]

VGK fan here. The Avs will figure it out, it’s a long season. No need to overreact.

[@Ruggz17]

Certainly possible, but there are plenty of question marks on personnel they need to address.

[@3rdlineplug]

Unfortunately, the goalie issue started last season and has not improved at all. The team itself does not have faith in Fourgiev and are constantly playing from behind.

[@kv4194]

Alex is washed up. Time to move on and stop wasting the core players prime. Cmac should know this.

[@pritok6]

He knows. He just needs to figure out what is he willing to give up.

[@RK-fh4bp]

I honestly can’t believe Georgiev is still being run out there again after what happened last season…but finding somebody to take him is probably tough

[@jacobalan9109]

Rudo your videos are incredible, thanks dude 🤘

[@anthonypacino716]

Get well man

[@coltonpratt3787]

3 top six players out and no starting goalie on the roster hurts baaaaad. We need our boys back and a change at goalie. This can't happen too soon.

[@andrew6815]

Mikko looked great. I was impressed with Ritchie for his first game and being basically a teenager (correction: IS a teenager). I also personally loved that Georgy both got pulled after 5 and then had to come back out to wind down the game when the Avs game up the empty netter: this team should have zero patience this season with the kind of normal awful low effort performances he put in for most of the regular season last year... and honestly that should just be a general rule in the NHL: you give up 5 and you sit. I don't care what the circumstances were. You can make that argument when you give up 3

[@goodman7097]

Get Better man we missed you on the post-game review.

[@ouromov2895]

AVS as per usual, defense is lagging, goaltending is flimsy and they try to make up for it by bombing a lot of goals. With a dependable goalie and defense I think the Avs would be easy cup favorites.

[@TheSheepDipped]

Another year man here we are again. Bummer game but man it couldn’t been worse.

[@jcrotty18]

The seven goals were all nearly perfect shots. VGK did a great job with their chances while being consistently outplayed - it happens. On to the next game

[@howardcraigiv518]

I said it when we traded for him from NY. He was trash then and a back up. But the Avs have been expecting Him to play a starting role since joining the Franchise 🤦🏼‍♂️…..

[@OutandAbout-h6o]

Georgi is a fair goaltender. Most of those goals against were absolute snipes, including the laser back-hander gone top cheese. The D were fairly soft, as these shots were most all from the face-off dots, or closer, often unobstructed or worse yet, with our own D screening Georgi. The reality? An NHL goalie needs to rob shooters more often than not, and even steal a game here an there. Doing either is just too rare for Georgi. This game was just poor, defensively, all around. Offensively, our depth (and size) is again concerning, putting too much reliance on the 1st line. Hard to overcome when we have 6 quasi-new players (some in their 1st NHL games) in the lineup in Kovalenko, Ritchie, Ivan, de Haan + Malinski and Kelly (who have played some games, but little production yet). ChooChoo will help in size and scoring, and confidence as well. We need him back, or we're in trouble. Hoping Mittlestadt and Ritchie outperform expectations. It's a long season. Hang on!

[@paulrafiq2525]

I really think the avs should go after Mackenzie Blackwood from the sharks he is not that bad on a good defence send the siv the other way with something else.

[@AnnO-k6v]

I've thought this since the Avs game vs the Sharks when it took 51 shots before the Avalanche could get one past him.

[@andrew6815]

But do you trade Georgiev or Annunen? Annunen and Blackwood would leave me feeling insecure, and it's a bit premature to sell on Annunen based on a small sample size. I personally like the current approach. Give a very short leash to Georgiev, as much opportunity to Annunen as he can seize, and then answer the question as the season goes along. If the price for Ullmark is anything to go by, the biggest obstacle will be cap hit for the incoming goalie. But yeah, I think Blackwood is an interesting idea and fits the mold.

[@AnnO-k6v]

@@andrew6815 I agree, in that I like the idea of Annunen "pushing" Georgiev, in other words, if Georgie doesn't perform, he needs to know that Annunen is there and pushing to take the job.

[@3rdlineplug]

Almost half of the Knights’ shots ended up in the back of the net. That’s pathetic. Georgiev is the only goalie I see get beat top shelf while standing up 😂

[@Avalanche8181]

What the hell happened to the dnvr team? Where is everyone?

[@dookieshoes2160]

AJ moved to CT (still writes), Meghan and Jesse went over to Guerilla Sports.

[@goodman7097]

@@dookieshoes2160 Ah Man I didn't know that. The post-game review was just not the same. The Three amigos Rudo, AJ and Meghan were my go to peeps and I thought they were great with each other.

[@AnnO-k6v]

@@goodman7097 I'm not loving the personnel changes.

[@Avalanche8181]

​@@dookieshoes2160 thanks. I miss the old gang but as long as all are well and happy

[@LaneBatman-c2v]

Oilers lost 6-0 tonight so that makes me feel better…

[@sprintcardriver8]

😂

[@andrewpugh9322]

Nooo less of this Meeko! It's a contract year and we need you affordable! lol

[@derronsanchez391]

Management and coaching decided to sign little defenseman who can’t keep people out of the crease. Getting tired of this Avs.

[@petrpumpkineater]

Nabokov has two shutouts already...

[@Jonathan-lq4uy]

If Georgie stays in the net for the season, Colorado will never win a cup. He's just not a number one goaltender.

[@Jonathan-lq4uy]

Well, apparently, Colorado just got a new goalie about damn time

[@Spoon101]

Avs still need a goalie.
