Count all the beans and add them up, there is a difference between playing well or not in a position so highly affected by another positions errors. Oh i agree. Canucks as a team sucked hard last year. I wouldnt say any of them had a “good year”, but i wouldnt blame holtby for his stats. Its a pretty big stretch to say a sub .900 save %, 3.00 + gaa season is a good one for any goalie is what i am saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marchands face looks like if you touched it, your hand would come back slimy and smell funny for a week. Like an old cheese smell. Sour milk.

ShawnAntoski Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Perhaps a few 5th/6th/7th round picks - JB seems to prefer these rounds anyways. At this point three 5th round picks would be golden ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeebus. .889 and 3.67, if thats the bar you set for a “good season” , we might as well trade demko for pics and cap relief as well as holtby, and run with dipietro and silovs. Edited July 26, 2021 by MystifyNCrucify Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough to succeed in that environment. Man if people think Holtby got hung out to dry most nights, and it was all by the Canucks shotty defence and not his fault, and we give him a pass for his .889 save percentage then what does that say about Demko with his .915 save percentage. Surely he would of had a .950 save percentage on any other team with a half decent defence and be up for the vezina ?!

That could very well be, Hopefully when all is said and done, Baumgartner is done too. Bieksa seemed to know his apples from oranges,. Team him up with a good college D Coach and the seas might part. Remember the series against Vegas where Demko hap the Knights shut down/ frustrated,. perhaps the best is yet to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtman Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Jet Black will make us proud. I really like Holtby, as others have said he was hung out to dry a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MystifyNCrucify Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 @SilentSam if the interest in holtby is so high, im guessing the ufa goalie market is smoking hot garbage. The only ufa goalie I remember off the top of my head is halak, but if he was so good boston would have re-signed him. You know, instead of trading assets for holtby..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
