If Marky stays healthy I suspect Calgary has a higher sv% next season. Are they guaranteed to have more wins? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can’t rely on MT do do anymore than he has been. This team will improve in certain metrics, but they are still going to suck when it matters, IMO. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 (edited) Quote Holtby was one of the NHL’s best goalies at one time, but has struggled the past two years for the Washington Capitals and wasn’t even the clear No. 1 choice for Washington en route to winning the Stanley Cup in 2018. From Patrick Johnston. Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t Holtby play almost every game for them in their run? He also had a .922 SV% and a 2.16 GAA... How wasn’t he the clear number 1 choice?

I think he means before the playoff started it wasn't clear who would take the lead, which is true. Grubauer had much better stats that regular season.

Grubauer had much better stats that regular season. That may be so, but when the important games came along Grubs whimpered off after 2 games and Holtby dominates with 23 games and wins the cup. Grubs has yet to claim a starter role so far and appears that the Avs are going with the tandem situation. He does have decent #s for sure, but he hasn't seen anywhere near the rubber that Holtby has and not nearly the high stress games either. I think Nucks will go the tandem situation as well and Demko's development will grow substantially with partner of Holtby's stature and experience. Love the term as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-P Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Splitting the starts between Demko and Holtby pretty evenly for a while makes sense for a number of reasons. Team D needs to be better next season and there is some risk to this approach but also lots of upside and a risk worth taking IMO. I see it as a pretty offensive move where we trust Demko and Ian Clarke and don't feel we have to spend lots of cap on goaltending to continue improving. I like it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greiss from the Islanders would have been the better option: cheaper, better performance (stats) last season. Maybe Benning believes Clark can fix Holtby*s game. Good luck, anyway.

Maybe Benning believes Clark can fix Holtby*s game. Good luck, anyway. Dumb comparison. Everyone knows he had a horrible last season, that’s what’s bringing that ranking way down. In his previous two seasons he averaged about a .909 SV% which isn’t great but I bet it’s about league average. And in his previous 7 seasons he averaged around a .920 SV%. But yea let’s skew the stats to make him look like the worst goalie in the league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Just a reminder, after letting in 8 goals last game, the goalie has an 8 goals against average in his last game! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Save percentage does not tell the full story - the environment they play in also matters. The easy example is Bobrovsky going from Columbus' solid defensive system to the Panthers' defensive chaos. Greiss would not necessarily fare well in Vancouver. This was in Friedman's 31 thoughts several months back - that would not apply in Vancouver: One coach told me his team’s internal metrics indicate that no one spends more time in their own zone than the red-hot New York Islanders. He wondered how that was possible, so he took a look. Answer: “They let you go where they want you to go — on the outside.” You get time, but you don’t get quality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his Canucks interview he stated that the break from Covid actually helped his game. He said he got away from things a bit during the regular season. The extra time with coaching staff helped him get his game back in shape. He was solid in the playoffs.
