There was only one goal tonight you could totally put on Georgie.

First was on Girard coughing up the puck and Georgie was left hung out to dry.
Second was the broken stick play but Walker was marking an open patch of ice somewhere in the practice rink.
Third was a PPG with lost coverage by Makar or arguably Nichushkin. Nichushkin let the guy go and expected Makar (rightly imo) to take him and thus set up the box for the PK.
The fourth was totally on Georgie, went straight through him like he was a tea bag there.....perforated!
Fifth was simply a good goal by Dallas.
Sixth was lost coverage again by Mittelstadt/Girard and Manson, can't let guys walk the puck into your crease.
Seventh ENG...can't stop it from the bench!

The D simply need to go back to basics and learn to defend. All well and good being able to attack from the D but you also have to defend as well.

I'd be shocked if they won the cup with this line up and I hate to say it but Kadri really is the missing piece at this point. You always heard his name, most of the time for the right reasons and he was always involved. Mittlestadt is a ghost so far. Thanks for showing up awards go to Colton, Duhaime, MacKinnon, Lehkonen, Drouin and Trenin.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MrLaheySays</b></div><div>dont get me wrong, i love Bo but he is a liability. if youre the owner or GM, you have to understand that keeping Bo is a risk from his past. Same goes for Girard (who ive wanted gone for 3 years now), and think of the dman Avs could acquire with 5mill to spend. At this point, id be ok with sending Manson and Girard out for another top 4 dman and a 2C. I also dont think Landeskog ever plays again, and if he does, he wont be at his potential or former self. this is the huge issue with the Avs, its not just replacing a 2C, its also their captain. just my .02</div></div>

Makes sense. I think this season shows that the Avs aren't yet willing to give up on Bo. They've moved him around and he's getting far more comfortable playing both left and right. That makes him more valuable to the Avs, but also likely more valuable as a trade asset. I'm a Sammy G fan and this season proved his value even more as his return definitely sparked the Avs. That said, I understand he's also expendable long-term. If they move a Dman than it should be Manson, but his NTC will make that hard. The Avs kept popping up in the conversations about Tanev and now they're mentioned around Hanifin, so who knows what the plan is?

I'm trying not to think about Landy until the situation is clearer, but if I had to guess, he's not likely this year. Then, we'll see.
