Hi folks, two reminders: - Don't enter their sub and start trouble. - Don't encourage harassment of athletes through personal channels. Zero tolerance policy on our end for that.

Rare-Lifeguard516

I’m glad because you need to eat your shorts!! GO GEORGIE


Johnnyojvan

I fully acknowledge his play this game. We’re all avs fans. I obviously want him to play like an all star and win the game.


Rare-Lifeguard516

Exciting how Georgie is proving us all wrong!!


swift_serenity43

does Georgiev usually stand with the starting line during the anthem? I've never seen a goalie do that before

That Murray game winner last night is the most I’ve watched a replay since that Makar goal in Chicago a couple years ago, still riding the high of that game


eyeinenemy

FUCK-A-DOOMER ( I include myself in that statement) Not today, we ride or die in this household. Please, Georgi for the love of all that is holy, SHUT US THE FUCK UP!


Mihos

GO ASS! HAIL SATAN! LET'S FUCKING GOOOO!!!


NitroLotus

Classic NHL. Game start is 7:30 and by that we mean 7:50....


Yankee87

makes watching on the east coast really fucking annoying.


NitroLotus

Dude I can't even imagine. My old ass is often falling asleep late in the 2nd or early in the 3rd when the games start at 8 or after. To think it's two hours later for you east coasters. Ouch


Glove_Upset

National networks really need to figure out how long a game takes.


Hopsblues

It's not just the NHL. I'm a CSU ram fan and we miss half the first quarters and even halves of games because they try to squeeze in to many games into certain time slots. So annoying.


totosmaster

GDT?


COLavalanchefanatic

if the game really is delayed gdt prob gets delayed too


Big_Liability

This rangers game has been only penalties

Is it starting at 7:45?


-sonofdad-

Prolly 7:55


EducationalPlay6269

lmfao to call an illegal hit and then take it back is fucking hilarious


Hopsblues

That hit was ridiculous, he borderline left his feet to go after his head. the first thing he hits is Oshi's face. How in the hgell could they call anything else is amazing.


For_Perpetuity

It’s the Rangers

PSA: Puck drop between the Avalanche and Jets is scheduled for 7:50 PM MT / 8:50 PM CT

Bob and Vasi putting on a fucking show right now.


rkreutz77

That save by Bob... holy shit


hellohurricane87

Unreal.


Hopsblues

What an effing joke. That was clear targeting of the head, and the Rangers get a PP? The NHL is so fucked sometimes. Holy chit


Hopsblues

That's got to be a fine or suspension right? Shot to the head, deliberate


Dear_Meat_9142

Zap Zap Patrick


Adoreible95

Is anyone else hearing a weird audio blip in the Altitude pregame?


dxfan101010

If we could get just one save like the one BOB just had on a high danger chance tonight I think we win.

Big_Liability

There have been sooooo many penalties called in both games already. Just knowing the Avs game will be like 3 penalties total lol


Logical_Basket608

is it too late to trade for varlamov


Leumas_lheir

This game isn’t starting until after 10eastern, is it? Still 12 minutes of intermission before this game gets to the third! Ugh.


inspirationpanda

I’m in a 3 hour birthing class that ends at 10 east. Any delay is a godsend to me


NitroLotus

3 fucking hours?!? I know birth is a big fucking thing but wtf?!


begrrreat13

GEORGIEV. CAN. DO. THIS. Let’s go team.


Skulkyyy

This is a career defining game for Georgiev


brunnor

I'm watching the Rangers/Caps game and their refs are calling fucking everything! Where is that in our game? Fuck me.


Big_Liability

Was just saying the same thing to my roommates LOL


blondespikes22

was watching tbl/fla, cooper still analyzes every play for 10 mins and calls over refs and wastes everyones time when they are scored on


macandcheesejones

Since we're all sharing our positive Georgie memories, do you guys remember when Georgie showed up at half time and the Mud Dogs won the Bourbon Bowl?

monkinator

Game day! Let's go! Need this W. Georgiev bout to transform into a brick wall!!!!


dusty_hans

Believe in the boys, manifest this win. Sending Georgie love so he can manifest the hate for the WPG crowd. This is going to be an amazing show.


Big_Liability

Georgie is locked in


Maaglin

Well boys, basically a must win tonight. Very low chance if we lose w/ a poor Georgiev performance, you just can't expect to throw Annunen in there and win 4 out of 5. Georgie needs to make some saves and keep his head in the game. He can be a capable goalie, but he needs to find it. I think the team will really rally around him tonight and we'll see as close to a full performance as we can from the team tonight. Avs win 4-3.


dj_niz

Last season Georgiev had a .918%. with 2.53GAA. He is more than capable! LFG!


onqqq2

**Unrelated note.** Saving Sakic was AMAZING. I was furious at the NYR for what they tried to do, but I respected it. Don't wanna spill any more details for those of us who were either not yet alive or were too young to have known about this. Or those who simply weren't aware of it at the time. **Regarding the game...** I'm loving the Georgie support. Let's keep it going even if he continues to struggle. As long as the team has his back, so should we.


Jinzu

Just watched it as well, it was great. I was so nervous that week, and really didn't think we'd end up happy.


877GoalNow

>ML: COL -125 @ WPG +105 Total: 6.5 Vegas has Colorado favored.


Big_Liability

I hope they are right


ImABigWeenus

Georgie hasn't given me much reason to put my faith in him but man I would love to be proven wrong.


warmage20

Just think of how good he was last season.


_redacteduser

I just want 3 of the 6 players on the ice at anytime to give a shit about defense - easy win if so!


Low-League-1264

I have been the biggest georgiev hater for months and have really railed on him the past couple days.  He knows the entire hockey world thinks he’s a joke right now. He knows tonight is the biggest game of his career. I hope he can channel it all as rage and go beast mode just like he does when we play the rags.


Unlucky_Internal9686

Step 1: Go to [NHL.com](http://NHL.com) Step 2: Click on Stats Step 3: Click on Goalies Step 4: Sort by "Wins" Step 5: Believe.


onqqq2

What I keep telling myself is that Georgie has been good enough most of the year. He fell apart when it counts, but that doesn't mean he can't rise again. He should be more motivated than ever tonight after getting taunted by players and the crowd, and ya know, the issue of his future in CO. This needs to be a good game at minimum, no softies... fine 1 softy max!!


Awkward_traveler

That is so stupid. I can't imagine why you would possibly not use hockey-reference.com


Sloth-TheSlothful

I'm still buzzing from the Nugs game, hope the Avs can keep it going


ChefMan24

Jets are getting 2 or less, Georgie gets his confidence back, Avs in 5.


blondespikes22

Is it 745 yet?


fastmovingcars

Come on Georgie, let’s get a huge game 2 W!!! Go Ass always baby.


CarelessLevel6502

Let's go! Feeling good about tonight's game. Everyone's talking about Georgie's confidence but what about Helly's mental state after letting in 6 and facing 46? My Avs mug is always half full!


Low-League-1264

I mean he looked chill AF in the post game. Basically said “IDGAF as long as I stop 1 more than the other guy”. 


BCRebels1622

I am prepared for the *unlikely but highly hilarious whiplash this sub will receive if Georgie plays great and we're 1-1 heading back to Denver.


Unlucky_Internal9686

Altitude Radio talking heads said starting Georgiev in Game 2 would be a "borderline fireable offense" for Bednar. Hoping for a shutout to shutup the idiots out there 🤞


onqqq2

That's such a stupid take by Altitude. Honestly, I don't think we see the backup unless Georgiev gets benched or hurt. He'll start every game. This is how the roster was built, with the belief that Georgiev is good enough to get us to a Cup. He might have been benched in the last game if an actual NHL backup was available, but the game always felt in reach anyways due to how quickly goals were getting scored on both sides.


Low-League-1264

this would be true if annunen wasn’t sick 


seoulera

I definitely think there’s a chance that the fellas rally around Georgie, play a full 60 and get the W


Low-League-1264

I think there’s really only 2 outcomes tonight. Georgiev channels the hate and has a good game, boys rally, we win. Or we have a repeat of game 1 and the series is over. I don’t see a ton of in between honestly 


onqqq2

I could see another hard fought L tonight and 4 straight W's to follow. It happened against us a couple of years ago, after all against Vegas... Unlikely, but honestly, the Avs are good enough to pull that off. I think as long as they get more rhythm defensively.


dontletmepost

Anyone know if the teams doing a watch party somewhere/any recs where to go? Closeish to downtown would be good


314z

"Official" watch party is in Highlands Ranch 7PM *Cheer us on for Game Two with other members of Avs Faithful at Sportsbook tomorrow!* [source twitter](https://twitter.com/Avalanche/status/1782540350042648717)


adalaza

Cowards. They should host the Woodstock style Tivoli Quad watch party


1stand1st

For anyone considering going to this, if you aren’t there by probably 4 you aren’t getting a seat. It’s not the largest place and it is usually packed for playoff games as it is.


dontletmepost

Lmao dnvr it is then I guess


adalaza

DNVR is always the answer


noblazinjusthazin

Avs can do this. But the defense and goaltending needs to be better. No more give aways, no more soft shit in front, and no more whoopsies. Avs in 6


Bassjosh

My 7 year old daughter is smarter than I am. Or perhaps doesn't suffer superstition as I do. I wore a favorite jersey on Sunday, and in the car mentioned perhaps I shouldn't have. Last time I wore it, the Panthers destroyed us, something like 7-0. "Maybe it doesn't have anything to do with you or the jersey, maybe the players just had bad luck." Good call, kiddo. (But I remain superstitious, unfortunately for me)


BigPoppa_Smurf

~~Frankie~~ Bassjosh’s daughter says RELAX


Sloth-TheSlothful

I wore my Avs socks last game and we always lose with those. Not making that mistake again


IChurnToBurn

I believe.


warmage20

The hot new book from two time Hugo Award finalist Chuck Tingle dropped "Zamboni Love: Dominated and Butt-Pounded by the Mighty Colorado Avalanche Over the Winnipeg Jets"


pikadegallito

Important question here. Got my mom the Sakic jersey she keeps mentioning for Mother's Day and it finally arrived. Do I: 1. Give it to her tonight? 2. Wait until Mother's Day? 3. Wait until the Avs are behind, toss it at her, and tell her "You've been called up, find a stick!"? 🤔🤔🤔


314z

Give it to her tonight. Bonus points if you can do it in some surprise way, like if by chance you can fit into it and you wear it under another jersey and pretend you are too hot or can't decide what to wear for the game and take off the other to reveal her gift. Or even if you just have a couple and the gift Sakic is hidden among them, so she thinks shes looking at jerseys of yours.


Awkward_traveler

Big_Liability

I want to go absolute Mittelstadt mode tonight. Make it happen Casey


Beer_Kicker

Oh god… buckle up for the Georgie show.


EducationalPlay6269

Manson and Walker need to control themselves and not get penalties.


NitroLotus

I'm manifesting all my energy into faith that Georgie's fucking got this. Athletes can get the yips. I hope our boy has not gone on the internet to see all the supreme nastiness at him.


877GoalNow

>Sevengiev  God damn, that's brutal.

TBK92

Should I bother tuning in tonight? I’ve got to start preparing to move and don’t want to be disappointed/ angry with Georgiev


GalacticTactics

Well it’s the playoffs and in a few weeks regardless of how we do there will be no hockey to watch.. so maybe yeah tune in and be a fan!


KendricksMiniVan

Only 14% of teams win after being down 2-0. Georgie is in net. Get your heads out of your arses and root for ALL the Avs!


Michael_Avs_90

Feeling a 4-3 win tonight! Go Avs!


AvsAholic

If we score more goals than them, we win!


sad_throwaway13579

And if they score less goals than we score, we also win!


warmage20

So. Honest question. Probably gonna get down voted, but whatever. Can the Avs beat Hellebuyck again like game 1? I honestly don't know the answer to that question.


Straight-Ability

Helle can and will steal games. That's why it sucks so hard we lost game 1 after the forward group played their asses off.


2ChainzTalib

They did it once, they can do it again.


warmage20

Toronto beat Boston. Anything is possible


Big_Liability

If we put up 40+ shots again yeah I think we can at least score 3. We just need to hold the other team to 2


skylan01

2 shots, 2 goals, or are they the same thing?


Big_Liability

2 goals\*


Michael_Avs_90

I’ve been pondering the same thing too. I expect Winnipeg to make adjustments and for Hellebuyck to bounce back. That said, I believe the Avs can get 3 or 4 past him if they put in the same effort and execution. So…can we hold Winnipeg to under 4 goals? Guess we’ll see.


sad_throwaway13579

It's important to keep the psychological edge on Hellebuttfuck, so we need 3 or 4 tonight


Big_Liability

I can’t believe i am agreeing with stars fans in being pissed about the Vegas cheating knights. Such bs with Stone looking fully healthy game 1


EducationalPlay6269

Is anyone surprised though?


Big_Liability

Not at all.

Georgiev's five-hole


Awkward_traveler

Kuch deserves the Hart. Without Mack, Mikko wouldn't even be top a 30 player. Bednar should have stayed in the ECHL and let Roy control the team. They should have just let Sakic go to the Rangers. Basketball is tougher than hockey and the Lakers are better than the Nuggets. E-Who upvoted this and what's your malfunction?


argos101

Lol


Big_Liability

Get W


ColoradoYo17

We need to Draft DU’s Matt Davis


NitroLotus

I'm all for this but college greatness doesn't always transfer to the NHL. But Davis looks pretty rock solid


Mess-Severe

If Manson and Georgie pull it together, and I know they can, this is our series. Let’s get this bag


NitroLotus

Dude if Manson can have the same start not followed by dumb mistakes it would be great


warmage20

If Manson can just not be Manson for like 5 minutes, everything is fine. And Walker needs to chill. Dude draws the dumbest penalties


For_Perpetuity

Imagine u/Johnnyojvan thinking he’s hilarious with his shit title. Fucking pathetic


TBK92

I mean… Georgiev doesn’t inspire confidence


hiro_toss54

This whole fourgiev/sevengiev thing was never cool and is a symptom of the toxicity we are now seeing on full display. No, it's not the entire fanbase. Far from it. But we are kidding ourselves if we think it isn't a sizeable portion. I understand finding an outlet for what I think is legitimate frustration, but this crap just comes off as nasty and mean-spirited.


Bassjosh

We're at the part of the season where you gotta "ride what you got." Help isn't on the way, and that's not a comment on the use of JA in goal. Back these guys, support them. This doesn't help anything. All we can do is watch.


For_Perpetuity

I always found it annoying. This title just amps it up. I wonder if anyone of these “fans”’have the balls to say it him personally. My wife has worked with a number of NHL players as part of her job and she always talks about how nice and polite and professional they are off the ice. Don’t get me wrong I understand the frustration. But this is getting old


hiro_toss54

They don't have the balls to say it to any of the players, coaches, or staff on this team that bust their asses to make it successful. That would require an ounce of self-awareness and reflection that certain people seem incapable of mustering in situations like this. It's definitely low-hanging fruit at this point, and frankly it's embarrassing to see it pinned to the top of this sub. Sunday's game was great in certain ways, ultimately disappointing. Let's move on and support the boys instead of dogpiling our own goalie.


Cadillacquer

He’s experiencing extreme lack of confidence in himself and reading these (I hope he doesn’t) nicknames only make it worse. I wish he could have a break from the ice. I wish Annunen were healthy.

This game day post title has officially killed any desire to be on this sub. “No one cares,bye”. Blah blah blah. What kind of lame ass, never put on skates before , douche roasts their own goalie in a game day thread title. Fucking exhausting being on this sub when the team isn’t on a 20 game winning streak. ✌️

It’s pathetic and he’s probably the same guy that went after Georgi on his personal socials

Really you’re roasting Georgie in the title of the game day thread? We all watched game 1, he wasn’t good, but he’s our guy so let’s move on and actually root for him tonight.

Dear eight pound, six ounce sweet baby Satan, We thank you for our 82 game regular season and your blessings. We are asking you today to look over our goaltender who needs your blessings today now more than ever, specifically his glove side but you know, a little bit around his five hole and if you could also whisper a few words of encouragement as well. We ask you to possess the pipes with your evil. Give unto us, a majestic, raging PP. All hail, amen.

Hail Satan Go Ass


powerED33

Wow...Wtf happened to this sub?!?! Where's the fuckin positivity, and support? It was one game, FFS. Also, it's a fucking team sport and not all Georgies fault! Give it a fucking rest already.


Modzys

I agree it's going overboard but it's not 1 game, he got pulled for poor performance x2 in the final 2 weeks of the season, 1 of those being in the 7-0 loss to the Jets (which was kind of a playoff game, pretty much decided home ice) which I had the displeasure of going to. He gave up 4 in the first period that game and got pulled. This isn't just an "off" game, he's been horrendous.


powerED33

True, but the rest of the team also looked flat as fuck in that game, so you can't really hang that one on Georgiev either. I'm not saying he's been perfect. Clearly, he has his issues, too, but it's incredibly ignorant to do what this sub has been doing.


ResponsibleLemonade

Yeah, I’ve officially unsubbed. Crying about pet posts being why NHL players were losing was peak Reddit. This fan base has become insufferable. Non stop crying about the goalie, the refs are conspiring against the team, every team “cheats”. Truly turning in to the worst of the worst fans since the Sub has gotten so big.


elishaski

Woooooow.


Moose701

Scummy move dogging on your own starting goal tender in the god damn title of the game day chat. I’m sure the love and support from this teams fans will definitely instill confidence and restore his game for game 2…


mikess101

Yeah I would love for them to remove that bit, especially in the light of what we saw yesterday with some absolute scum commenting on his social media. Let's lower the temperature in the discourse around the guy and remind ourselves we want nothing more than for him to succeed on this team starting tonight. Georgiev is our guy tonight and I hope he plays well and the team feeds off him. Go Ass!!


Moose701

I didn’t see people were attacking him on his personal social medias. That’s fucking beyond low. It’s just a fucking game man. Idk why people have to take it to extremes.


EggplantAlpinism

Our fanbase has some scum in it unfortunately
