I appreciate a coach's confidence in his goalie, but wow! To say that Georgiev had a great game? That's so so wild to me.
Central division,& West 1 seed hopes are over…not diminished.Not remotely the end of the world-but I do think getting home ice vs WPG is somewhat important.Ya arent guaranteed anything with it-or doomed without it-but is something you want-especially vs WPG.And I agree with coach Bednar.Ive been critical of Giorgiev much of the year-but I dont blame him a bit tonight.Idiotic penalties,& and terrible PK…plus great Star PP play-was the whole story. Walker has been an awesome addition overall-but his 6 minutes of penalties in the 3rd vs Montreal,& 4 minute high stick tonight were killer,& just cannot keep happening.
I actually think finishing 1st might be a tougher draw for Dallas-if Vegas ends up #8(not if LA does though).I think Nashville,& especially Vegas have signifigantly superior rosters than WPG…except in net-where Hellunbuck is the best goalie on earth. I still like a healthy Avs chances vs WPG-with or without home ice.But with home ice Id say maybe 65% chance…w/o home ice-more like 55-45. By far the most important thing is Rantanen getting healthy,& overall roster health. But I do think its somewhat important to finish 2nd.Like the Nugs-Avs can beat or lose to anybody-no matter their seed. But Ive always said for both-finishing 2nd instead of 3rd…is signifigantly more important than ending up 1st instead of 2nd.
he has sucked
Gotta stay out of the penalty box. 4 minute high stick was brutal. It happens but that hurt.
Come on, Bednar, the Avs gave up 14 goals in 2 games. The Avs played lazy at times. 4 minute penalty because Benn bit his lip, little blood, and the refs bought it. Give him an Academy Award for his diving.
