Holtby isn't cheap @ 4.5 mill Canucks are still paying a fair amount for a goalie that is clearly not motivated/not able to elevate his game.

I wonder who that 4.5M could have been used towards re-signing?

[Trebreh]

that late goal in the 1st deflated the guys and gave all momentum to the Jets who were ready to roll over.

To late to start Demko...?

Green is saving him for the first-place Maple Leafs.

So is the tank back on?

same 'ol nucks...one good game followed by a load of crap

The first 19:57 of the 1st period was pure entertainment

Disagree, goaltenders don't usually play both games of a back to back. Holtby hasn't been great, but if this team is to have any success he's going to have to play games. 

Have any success?

 

we are a mile out in a short season .... when are you thinking the success will come?

And the coaching staff is beyond Hope.

Fair! I was making a joke that failed. Holtby just kills momentum with terrible showings. 

[Angry Goose]

Gaudette, Virtanen, Pearson - could use some of that secondary scoring right about now

Maybe the plan from the get go was to split these back to back between demko and holtby, which is fine.

 

But Demko stood on his head and got a shutout last night, adjust the plan and run with the hot hand. Holtby can start the Toronto game on Thursday.

Demko just did his job

Virtanen has been demoted.

[PhillipBlunt]

Again with the inconsistency. This team is its worst enemy.

 Inexcusable decision from green. Should have played demko back to back. They had four days rest . 

De.ko had a pretty easy night previous game and was in their head after a shutout and Green goes with holtby and his .8 save %

sooo glad we rested Demko tonight. /s 

 

It's not like we need the 2 points or anything. 

especially since Demko is so good against Jets. I dont care if Green wants to start Demko after this game, he should have let Demko have the back to back then Holtby maybe after this. Just stupid coaching decision imo.

If we're going to win games running Demko into the ground isn't the way to do it. If the season is lost, as many fans believe, there's no harm in getting Holtby in anyway.

Undeserved. 

[canuck2288]

Too much to ask a Travis Green coached team to win back to back 

 

constantly lets down after a win 

its a pattern in his country club culture
