Annunen was drafted by the Avs as a result of the Duchene trade... That trade was already good, it's only gonna get better if he becomes the full time starter

[@xexotics_fur1461]

He’s not gonna be a starter but if he can be a reliable everyday backup like Francouz was it will be worth it

[@jasonkashefi8241]

yea not taking georgies spot for a while but hes young. really looking good so far has a bright future. Miss francouz so much love for our fallen snow angel :(((

[@soulknife20]

​@xexotics_fur1461 He might be in a couple of years. He does need to ride some pine for a little bit though. I think he has the talent to be a starter, just needs polishing

[@gorillaglue99]

@@xexotics_fur1461 bro he ain't talking about becoming a starter tomorrow. dude is only 23 years old. there is definitely a possibility he can become a starter years down the road.

Justus is a damn gem!! Flexible gem..

They call him MacKitchen, because he’s cooking! Cale was due for a goal and Justus got a second shutout! I know people are going to point out that the blackhawks are a bad team, but to that I say this: 2 points.

Exactly. The standings don't care how you get 2 points or the teams you beat to get 2 points.

An other promising goalie from 🇫🇮. We are happy and proud too here in Finland. He will take his place in 'upstairs'.

Juice owns the hawks.

[@austinharlan3169]

Everyone owns the hawks lmao. A true historically bad team.

[@fluntimes]

The answer for the Avs is: start Annunen more, rest Georgie. That and just give MacKinnon the puck.

[@soulknife20]

That's what they are doing. Bednar is starting to have more trust in him. Juice hasn't been bad honestly. The most goals he's given up were 5 against the Devils way back.

[@MrKevlarkent]

no the answer for the avs is get a decent 2nd center and dont play the first line for 90% of the game

[@soulknife20]

​@@MrKevlarkentOh. I'm sorry. I forgot that's how the Avs WON THE STANLEY CUP

[@MrKevlarkent]

@@soulknife20 that year Mikko and Nathan didn't look nearly as tired as they were last year and this year. There's no way they can keep this up for the rest of the season and the whole post-season. Nathan getting a long injury is proof of that

I am afraid that Bedard is overrated

[@soulknife20]

​@Pjkoko Not able to judge it yet. He's on a terrible team

[@tiogoala7654]

Incredible 35 shot shutout! Got to love Mac's tenacious movement of the puck. He's on a mission! Not an Avs fan, but this team may win it all again.

[@TheEkkii]

Didn't know the Hawks had an ownership change

[@user-je2pb4vt4g]

Просто унизили Чикаго. Бедард упустил единственный шанс забить. Маккиннон это конечно мощь

[@chriskostopoulos8142]

Fair reflection of the state of the two teams.

[@davidmurray5399]

Just to show how bad the Blackhawks are, whenever it's five on five, it looks like the other team has a man advantage.

[@smatejka1]

Yep. They look so absolutely clueless 5 on 5. 5 guys watching every other team playing a hockey game right in front of them. Best seats on the ice.

[@emperoralvis6559]

I’m so glad I have both MacKinnon and Makar on my fantasy team

[@DustinMikkelsen]

Justus is playing great lately.

MacKinnon is the best 💪💪💪

Atm Nathan McKinnon is the best player in NHL. If and when he continues the same pace till the end of series, he is no1 to win the Hart Trophy. Art Ross Trophy is also in his reach.

[@rsk9228]

No, he is not Look at points and goals or +/- Doesn't play defense

Nate is just on another level. There should be another league higher than the NHL for him to go to, but there just isn't. amaaaaaaazing talent.

[@zdenekcanada5408]

not Marazek but Mrázek ..

i thought for sure justus was a lost cause his first few games, he was flopping all over the place and losing track of the puck multiple times per game. but he looks so much better these last few games. im glad i was wrong.

[@db-jk8dl]

​@@anonymouspig992 I know, but defense is an important part of the game. Especially for a center. He could also get stronger in the AHL.

[@chadjmoore]

Aaaah don't think so. Hard to get points when you are on one of the worst teams. They can't pass, they have no PP or PK and their D is non-existent. Bedard can only do so much. The problem is you have a team that is worse than most AHL teams.
