Avalanche Take Game 2 and Head Back to Colorado With the Series Tied Up

Рет қаралды 2,765

Ай бұрын

The Colorado Avalanche did pretty much everything the same as Game 1 against the Winnipeg Jets, but added much better goaltending to the equation, and the result was a convincing 5-2 win over the Jets. The series now heads back to Colorado tied up at 1.
The Avs used four 2nd period goals, then lock down defense in the 3rd that prevented any Winnipeg comeback attempt. Couple that with a much needed solid performance from Alexandar Georgiev and the Avs looked in command and in control for the majority of the game.

Depth scoring has been the story. This is what was missing from the Kraken series last season. To win a game without a single goal from MacKinnon or Rantanen is what they needed. Imagine if MacKinnon gets going? Manson's breakaway was comedy gold, man. I absolutely was expecting a save on that one.

First off im not sure if you are blind, or you dont pay attention but geo has had problems for the entire second half of the year with any sort of consistency. If he cant fix it over 41 games or more and first game of playoffs then fans have the right to say whatever they want within reason obviously.He had the most wins becausre he started way more than any other goalie. If you cant stop more than 2/3 shots in the playoffs you are gonna get called on it and if you are to delicate for that it might be right time for you to find a new sport buddy. Maybe golf is more your speed where people silently stand and clap reguardless of what you are wittnessing happen.

Great team effort awesome win. The third period was some of the best playoff style hockey we have seen out of this team. Let’s hope that carries over good game out of the goaltender. Still a little nervous about that situation let’s go boys.

Admittedly, I was on the “roast Georgiev” bus after game one. Never been happier to be proven wrong. Kudos to his teammates as well as I have a strong feeling while we all roasted him, they were lifting him up behind the scenes. Hell of a performance by the entire team last night and loved the response to the early Jets push. That’s the team that can win the cup. And honestly, outside of the few breakdowns in game one, they’ve been great so far and in a hostile environment. Now just hold serve at home and put a stranglehold on the series. LFG Avs 💪

I actually thought he played well in game one as well outside of the couple mistakes that cost them. Was almost too easy to ignore how well they played in game one with the focus on the mistakes and questionable goaltending. Loved that after the game, Georgiev and Manson were in the presser taking questions together.

@kaydirling Ай бұрын

I've been a Georgie defender all year and got so pissed off I joined the mob after game 1. I'm so glad he came back with the kind of performance we have seen from him many times this season, and I hope he can keep it up. Key to it was the absolutely stellar defense in front of him. They were so much better this game and if they keep that up, they can win every time. It's been my belief that when this team plays to the best of their ability, they can beat anyone in the league. That third period where they just locked it down was awesome to watch. Unexpected to hear Kiviranta's name a bunch of times - he was all over the place, great performance. I feel like he's been mostly invisible so that was really nice. The depth really stepped up last night. Exactly what they need. Val's empty netter was an amazing shot - what an angle! - and I'm glad he got it, because he worked his butt off last night.

Well played georgiev. Even in moments of defensive mishaps he made some key saves. As the series goes on well see how much he fights to keep pos 1. Keep making those saves, hopefully it was just game 1 shenanigans. Playoff georgiev is what we need. How about mansons hands there. 👍

I suppose that is one thing that bothers me about georgiev. Because i do think he CAN be good, hes just so inconsistent...and thats what scares me. Like if he shows up the way he did in game 2 for the rest of series then you wont hear me complain. Which makes game 1 that much harder because if a shred of game 2 georgiev was there in game 1 we could have talked about a rough looking 6-4 win instead of a nasty 6-7 loss. But oh well.

Lowry especially just has a smirk I hope we remove. Just happy we stayed on the gas. Hope we can string 2 more wins in Denver, that would help.

Make your success don't wait for it to present itself to you. Open a lane up yourself with movement well timed shots. Greasy is the only goals you'll get in this series. Don't try to out finesse the AVS.

Let's put it this way: If Georgiev had Hellebuycks's game on Tuesday night, the Avalanche fans would be baying for Bednar's job and AG would be flying commercial back to Denver. Maybe Bulgaria. CH was asleep on Wood's 5 hole goal and he looked like Edward Scissorhands handling the buck behind the net, which lead to Parise's goal. AND . . . he let Josh Manson - JOSH MANSON - beat him 5 hole on a breakaway. The Avs are getting about what we expected out their goalie - on average. The Jets are not. The Avs have put 10 goals on CH in 2 games. I'm not worried about him. But the Jets should be.
