The Colorado Avalanche have a goalie controversy. It’s not a good one. Right now, the goal tending tandem of Philipp Grubauer and Pavel Francouz isn’t sufficient.
I worried about this tandem going into the season. We’ve got a first-year starter being backed up by a first-year player. The tandem might get the Avs into the playoffs, but they’re unlikely to carry them far in the playoffs.
Yes, we could always see a resurgence of Grubauer. He came into his own about February of last year and eventually won the starting job from Semyon Varlamov.
