TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger joins John Lu to discuss why the Avalanche are going back to Alexandar Georgiev in net despite a rough performance against the Jets in the series opener, Connor Hellebuyck’s ability to bounce back for Winnipeg, and adjustments the Jets are looking to make in Game 2.

Avs fix goaltending next year
Landeskog comes back
Avs win the presidents trophy
I'm very afraid of this.
Avs fans are butthurt about their goalies' performance (or lack thereof), but letting in that many goals against the Jets is on par with their season against them. It was Hellebuyck who let in more than usual/had a rough night. During the regular season, the Jets scored 17 goals in 3 games against the Avs (5.6 goals/game average) while the Avs scored 4 goals in 3 games (1.3 goals/game average). Based on those stats alone, it's clear to me that the Jets should be more upset about goaltending issues than the Avs as their goalie (Gorgiev) performed as expected. Go ✈️ Go!!
He's going back to Georgiev simply because he has no other goalie to turn to. Annunen is not 100% and has less than 10 starts to his name. Arvid Holm has no starts to his name. So Georgiev is the only option.
The Avs really seemed unprepared once they lost Francouz to injury.
Hellebuyck has to be better too.
Jets in 4. Avs haven't won a single game against them all year and will not.
The only reason Fourgiev plays game 2 is because Annunen is sick. They also recalled Prosvetov.
Jets in 5 or 6!!
The Oilers did this with Skinner last year against Vegas. That was a mistake that cost us the series. Avs, don't make the same mistake. Goalies on a cold streak should not be relied upon, period. Start Proseltov is Annunen isn't available.
We need a goalie big time not fair for there all star players
To score 6 goals in a playoff game and lose is depressing
Georgiev… 7 goals in 20+ shots.
Annunen … 3 goals in 11 shots.
Holm… didn't even get a chance vs JETS.
It doesn't matter who AVS put in net, they are ALL statistically terrible.
Proseltov has a .881% with a 3.70 GAA… that's not exactly good!
After watching that game, it's just nice to hear someone say Georgiev instead of HURRR DURR GORGEV. I'm still trying to find out who this Nick Chewskin they kept talking about is.
Go jets go 🎉
People keep talking about Annunen letting in 3 on 11. The dude was thrown into a crap game. 4 had already been scored on a defeated looking team. Do you think Justus went in at the top of his mental game? Hell no. The dude was thrown into a bad game. The team had already given up. 4-0 late. Of course he played bad. This game one was awful. If annunen isn’t available I’d play the other, prosvetov or whatever his spelling is. He lets in 3 weak goals, play Georgiev, or vice versa. Or play Georgiev. With his stupid inconsistency he may get a shutout. If that’s the case, don’t play him game 3 because it’ll be another blow out.
Goalies' tennis love,
Georgiev and Hellebuyck
— 7-6 tie break🎾🥎🥅🤔?!

Dreger and Lu were really good in this segment.
Whats helly rebounding from? Making over 40 saves and winning?
The beating avs will get in denver will be even worse. Their line matchups are going to leave the 84 goal machine second line unattended. 2nd line combines for 10points in game 3
of course juice is still sick dammmmit
In my opinion, only one of the goals that Georgiev allowed was questionable.
Dreger started out at CKX in Brandon.
