The emotional high of Alexandar Georgiev’s season was aired on television after the seventh game. Two months and 30 games later, the low-point was also visible for everyone to see.
Georgiev smashed his stick against the crossbar twice after Vancouver scored its third goal in a crippling stretch of 153 seconds. That display of frustration was the culmination of a Colorado Avalanche meltdown in a 4-2 loss to the reeling Vancouver Canucks on Thursday night.
Vancouver had lost three consecutive games and was entrenched in internal drama after J.T. Miller recently yelled at goalie Colin Delia to get off the ice late in a close game. In an ironic reversal, Cale Makar was left calming Georgiev (and perhaps apologizing for a defensive lapse) after the Canucks’ go-ahead goal.
