The Colorado Avalanche faced a 7-6 loss in Game 1 against the Winnipeg Jets, with Alexandar Georgiev allowing six goals. There are calls for Justus Annunen to start in Game 2 to replace Georgiev, who is under scrutiny for his performance. The Avalanche need a change in goalkeeping strategy to improve their chances in the series.
Six goals on Bucky is a heck of a night. Prolific as they are, though, the Colorado Avalanche can’t count on putting up 7 or 8 EVERY NIGHT in the #StanleyCupPlayoffs. Love Alexandar Georgiev. But he’s gotta go. Column: https://t.co/ZBfgSbk1yg #GoAvsGo #ALLIN #NHL #Denver
Alexandar Georgiev, Avalanche snowed under by Jets’ flurry of goals in Game 1 loss https://t.co/efhuEsOacl
Justus for Avalanche fans! Love Alexandar Georgiev. He's toast. If Justus Annunen doesn't find himself starting Game 2 in Winnipeg, the #GoAvsGo are gonna find themselves halfway to Cancun. Column: https://t.co/wy5WSaq4pp… #ALLIN #NHL #COLvsWPG #Denver #hockey #StanleyCup
Do whatever it takes, Jared Bednar. Anything that gets Avalanche backup goaltender Justus Annunen healthy and ready to start Game 2 of this Avs-Jets series. Anything that gets No. 1 netminder Alexandar Georgiev away from the crease, @SeanKeeler writes. https://t.co/4Fh5qWjC0Y
NEW @MileHighSports The Avs put six goals past Hellebuyck in a 7-6 Game 1 loss on the road. They were able to beat the likely Vezina Trophy winner. But they couldn't beat the guy manning the crease on their side. Why the Avs need to start Justus Annunen https://t.co/FWtCc7j4YU
