It’s not the same playing rhythm and some goalies just can’t stay on their game without regular starts. He’s probably not used to play that little with Demko now getting the bulk of the starts. The last 10 games went Demko Demko Demko Holtby Demko Holtby Demko Demko Demko Holtby Why did we sign Holtby at all? We knew Demko would be our guy and should play most of the games. If we didnt trust Demko then why let Markstrom walk? Benning should have just signed a decent backup for 1 million. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

On the other hand any GM who really wants to win is gonna look at our organizations culture and take a hard pass. Don’t forget the part where you don’t need to speak to the media. Like seriously where the hell is Jim Benning? I don’t see Calgarys GM hiding from the media... 1 Link to post Share on other sites

As usual, management gets the blame, but we've seen Coach Green's system over the years. This should not have been a surprise to anyone with the loss of Markstrom and Tanev. Green's system is the EXACT same as last year. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

HorvatToBaertschi 1,266 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 35 minutes ago, canuck2288 said: People who say this loss is on Holtby are correct but the decision to start him was Green’s blame Travis Green should never play Demko 3 times in 4 nights. It's Holtby's fault that he can't give up less than 4 goals a game, and especially 3 SOFT goals. When he wasn't letting goals in, he was flopping all over the place. That's on him. He's a big boy and he should know his role, but he doesn't. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianRugby 3,230 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I don't see why people are ripping Holtby. He's been average at best for a while now, so what are you expecting when he goes from a cup contending team to this dumpster fire. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

If we signed some schmuck for 1 million and Demko falters, will you blame Benning? LOL. Demko's a new starting goalie. You have to insulate him with some veterans. We cannot afford to ruin his confidence and progression with subpar goaltending. Plus, we needed an attractive goalie for expansion purposes. Link to post Share on other sites

Will he take responsibility for his and his brainless assistants miscues tonight? That never ever ever happens with Green he is truly delusional never on the coaches only on rookies 1 Link to post Share on other sites

The sample size on Demko was too small to give him the starter’s net. Benning talked of needing 2 goalies with the compressed schedule. Hotlby was going to mentor Demko and give him time to develop. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
ShawnAntoski 1,300 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Next game - Aquaman if you are reading this, pls let JB stick to drafting & prospects and stop him from signing anymore FA cause most of his FA's had not aged well. Link to post Share on other sites

People crapped on our former coaches and assistant coaches too, they've gone on to win Stanley Cups and coach of the year awards when given quality teams to work with. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
