THE HARSH TRUTH ABOUT THE COLORADO AVALANCHES ROSTER

35 comments

1. Fourgiev is problem one. Frankie retiring due to injuries is another.

   Another MAJOR issue is Val and his drug issues. His bullshit getting banned for 6 months shows just how much they need him. Why have they sucked since winning the cup? Val has been suspended or "walked away from the team" when they needed him the most EVERY year since the cup run. Start this season and val is still suspended until November. There is no player on the avs right now that does what Val can do, and their shitty start is proof of this.

2. I love Nathan MacKinnon. I love his intensity and how frightening he can look on the ice.

3. Georgie is the root of all their problems lol

4. You sleep heavy on Justus Annunen. He was good last season and really should be getting more starts this season. Really just depends on how stubborn Jared Bednar chooses to be. Georgie can't be starting 55+ games again.

5. Would be nice if the Avalanche had a backup goalie. Oh wait they do, and he's really good, but the coaches refuse to start him.

6. Even Kevin Lankinen could Have Been good Back up

7. I love Gabriel Landeskog. Even with his injury he is a great player and is a great captain too.

8. They’ve scored like 4 or more goals each game 😂 goaltending is looking rough

9. Where is Nichushkin? Change his player number 13 to 12 …2012 his scored decisive OT goal in canada s net and Russia won !

10. 3:30 landeskog in't a center tho, he's a winger that mostly plays on the left wing. currently avs 2nd line center is mittelstadt and during the cup run of 2022 the 2nd line center was kadri (who currently is the 1st line center for the flames) but anyway he is a huge loss to the avs.

11. I like Rantanen. I see people recognizing his abilities somewhat often, but I still feel that he is one of the most underrated snipers in the league, just because he's playing with MacKinnon.

12. I would like to say if Georgiev can steal a goal or two and play by the book and not try to cheat so much some of the games would be a lot closer he has let in some soft goal as well. Another thing is if Landy cant come back as a player I would like to see him as a coach for our team I think he would be good behind the bench.

13. I love Makar. He’s so dynamic and he inspires me to be better every day just like him. He works hard and is very impressive with his skills.

14. I don’t know how much you’ve seen of the Avs in the first few games, but the depth from the other players aren’t the concern at the moment. It’s Georgie allowing basically 1 goal for every 5 shots. He was bad last year, had a decent playoff performance outside of the first game vs the Jets, and is back to being terrible again. No team can survive long term and make a legit run with goaltending like that. He either figures out how to be consistently good or will need to be replaced.

15. THE HARSH TRUTH ABOUT THE Nashville Predators 0-5-0

16. kid has no clue what he’s talking about, Landeskog Second line Center? Tucker Poolman top six forward??

17. i wish they had kept kadri!! And also kept Erik Johnson. Those 2 were such important figures in the Avs organization.

18. i dont know much about the avs but i like nathan cause hes good

19. Jimmy I love your videos and breakdowns and I know you might not think of it but I think you would make an amazing podcast still same format as these videos but just without the video. I still love the videos and keep up the hard work bc you are pumping out videos

20. It's all adversity and how they respond. Playoffs are a long way down the road. They will be ok.

21. Huge concerns about their goaltending. Very little reason to have confidence in Georgiev or Annunen as of now. I'm shocked the Avalanche haven't parted ways with Nichushkin. Good player, but he has let them down two years in a row in the playoffs.

22. Idk how you put this out saying landy in a 2nd line center (winger) and poolman being a forward. If things go well landy will be a third line wing. Annunen needs to play, the plan seems to be him in net after this year

23. First off Landy is not a center, Poolman is not a integral piece to this team at all, and have you not seen Middlestadt play hes been everything and more for this team!The fact that there holding on with the crucial injuries they have shows there depth in there young guys stepping up in the form of Ritchie, Kovalenko, and Ivan is why there able to stay in the games. Season just started but Georgie has been getting better each game. When you have 2 of the 3 best players in the league and another top 12-15 player you will always have a chance in any game

24. Serious question: How high were you when you recorded this? It's 5 games. No goalie is over-played after 5 games. Landy is NOT a center and has NEVER even come close to being one. Toews is not a forward. Georgie has simply not been good enough. Even average goaltending puts them in cup contention even with the injuries. All that said, if they get average goaltending and get healthy? That is one scary ass team.

25. Nuke is out for 6 months…starting that game vs Dallas. He’ll be back in the next month or so.

26. Cale Makar is my favorite player. Why? Just go watch him play.

27. And, dude. No help? Lekky will be back and Drouin is a massive help up front. LOC is back this season. Ritchie looks like a great rookie. And the Russian kid is looking promising.

28. Peter the Great!! Because he was Great! Current roster is tough because they have their own mini all-star team with Mack, Miko, and Cale.

29. They’re dead last in PDO

30. Few things…Nuke will be back around late November. Poolman is an LTIR guy. They took him and put him on LTIR in exchange for a 4th round pick.

31. Ìt has been a tough year to start but I believe the underlying numbers, outside of goaltending are good. My favorite player her in denver is Logan O'Connor. He is 100% effort hardworking player that we call the mayor of Denver as he won two championships in denver. What a stud.

32. Avs would at least be 3-2 if georgiev was better. I think they beat the isles and blue jackets, because a lot of the goals he gave up in those games were really bad. Especially in the blue jackets gane, some of those goals would have been easily saved, but they go in anyways. Also the ducks were really lucky to even get an overtime, dostal played out of his mind and the ducks got lucky bounces on 2 of their 3 goals.

33. Nathan Mackinnon, I lobe watching him because he's such a good skater so I strive to skate like him

34. The Avs organization was more irresponsible to not address their starting goaltender needs. Georgiev is not a good goalie. He proved that all last season. At best, he’s an inconsistent/streaky goalie that will either be hot or ice cold.

    I don’t care what you say about injuries and such…the Avs are giving up 20 shots a game and their goalie has a sub .700 save percentage at times. That is Georgiev’s fault. The Avalanche aren’t playing worse defensively than every other team in the league. Goalies in Anaheim, Montreal, and Chicago all have better stats than Georgiev (dating back to last season), and you can’t convince me that the Avs are worse than those teams defensively.

    Just look at the ducks game that Colorado just won. Dostal faced nearly 50 shots and only gave up 4. Georgiev nearly lost the game while only facing 19 shots…he sucks and the guys playing in front of him know it.

    Should the Avs have brought in a solid backup? Absolutely! Also, should the Avs have stuck with Georgiev as their number 1? Absolutely not

35. Your analysis says you don’t watch the games and get info second hand
