I see our D having Rathbone on it next season too. Hughes Tanev Edler Myers Bone Tree Dillon (Maybe OJ?) instead of Dillon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that’s a trait the truly great goalies need to have? Some of the best were definitely quirky. Broduer and Luongo are maybe the exceptions pretty level headed and happy guys. Befour and Barraso were also prickly, same with Smith so you could be on to something. Parent was something else too, and when he played he had demons too. Dryden...well let's just say that the better ones usually had big personalities for sure and a little something extra about them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Marky really and truly believe in his core that he’s “the guy”? Does he have that confidence those other goalies had, who were successful into their mid thirties? My concern is Marky starts to question his abilities in a year or two. It’s not like he’s been good before now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Risky to pay too much and give term. Could end up being another LE contract. Thankfully that doesn't apply to most good ones - and he's just peaking now. He reminds me of Bishop as a recent example. Same size, about equal as far as play goes and still pretty dominant. Rinne also - he was great right up to and past 35. Miller and Luongo obviously were fine..look and how good Smith is this year and he also had some great seasons in his thirties. The only position that's really affected from 30-35 are forwards. Loads of examples of goalies and defenseman having some of their best years in that age range. Injuries are the only concern for me....otherwise we should be good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not like he’s been good before now. It took me a while to become a believer too. His almost 50 save team record shutout was it for me. It's kind of hilarious that 30 is over the hill now for NHL players ... As long as he's healthy and they manage his games he should be fine until 35-37. Good goalies almost always are. Plus he doesn't have the NHL miles that a lot of other guys had at his age that were also top 5-10. Check out how many games Broduer played from 30-40. Bower is even a better example of old goalies kicking ass. Hasek was just cutting his teeth at 30 too. I don't think that age is nearly as a concern for good goalies as it is for good forwards, and a little less for defenseman too. Lidstrom won his FIRST Norris at 31.... even now some elder journeyman goalies are still around as in Smith and Miller. Markstrom should be fine until 35-37....by then he will become a back-up as long as he stays healthy. Demko isnt the answer (yet at least). He definitely belongs though and also should get better as he gets closer to 30. Nowadays most goalies come in around 25-26 too...still have miles on them but not NHL miles like it used to be. Hart is the first 19-20 year old goalie to come in since MAF (who was even younger)...other then him Murray and before him Jones, which used to be the norm...now super rare. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, hope I am wrong on both questions The team needs a guy who can replace Edler. Really doubt we have that in the system but I do think we have enough that with QHs we and Myers signed enough to make it work. People are overly critical of Myers - he's keeping Edler and Tanev out of the sick bay, kept the team afloat when Elder was out, and it's hilariously obvious how important he is when Stetcher takes his spot when he misses games. He's like Edler but on the right side. His offense is snake bitten so far this year - but it's easy to see why his career PPG is similar. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erkayloomeh Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 4 hours ago, Jimmy McGill said: sometimes. In Loui's case he's very good defensively, only the biggest haters won't admit that. On the scoring side, he does make Bo and Pearson better, or at least they get more offensive chances with him on their line than without him - for most of this year, but not in the last 4 games. With Loui, shots against drop to 151 and without Loui Bo and Pearson have 202 against. So Loui helps prevent shots against. XGA drops to 10 from 16. So there's a clear benefit there. Earlier in the year, Loui on that line also had a higher GF% - but thats actually dropped over the losing streak to just under 50%, which is why i think we see Jake being used more like a rover on that line sometimes.

My biggest issue with him is his compete level and the noticable bigger effort I have seen from him in games against at Boston for example. If his game slowly tailed off since he got here that would be one thing but it dropped right away. He has his attributes but I do no respect LE as a very highly paid professional athlete.

I just wish Marky had a larger sample of work at his current level. If they sign him for 5+, they better lock up Ckark for the same term. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
