Attila Umbrus Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I've been a fan of Halak ever since he almost stole Carey Prices job long long ago in Montreal. He's always been a good goalie. I'm thinking this is a guy that Mikey DiPietro can look up to as well. He's going to learn a ton off of him and his playing style since they are comparable stature wise. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Price has probably been the better goaltender since then, but both have had great careers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think Halak is the best 1B goalie out there right now. Low maintenance, does his thing. I mean his career average is just so tight across all those years. Just a steady goalie. I used to love Manny Legace for the same reason back in the day. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post hammertime Posted September 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 13, 2021 (edited) Halak is one of my absolute favorite journeymen would be great for Mikey D to get a chance to work out with him and take pointers as a small athletic goalie.

beni Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I had hoped they could have gotten Halak last year, I think he will be a great backup for Demko and will be a good mentor. Like Miller for Markstrom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackcanuck Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 (edited) Cool tribute by Jaroslav Halak. He has 38 Demitra on the back of his new mask to pay tribute to the former #Canucks forward and his fellow countryman. https://twitter.com/BatchHockey/status/1441440572858777604 Edited September 24, 2021 by Mackcanuck 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked his in game adjustment. The 2 goals they scored on him, they kept trying to go back to those spots, but Halak learned and closed the gaps off. Honestly i've never noticed that in him, lots of goalies get rattled and keep letting pucks in. Halak just adjusts on the fly and closes things off. It was very impressive to watch. He is a super smart goalie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As good as he looked, it was just one game. Holtby had some very good games with us too--his problem was consistency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Colt 45s Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 A lot of optimism for this team. Best tandem, if healthy, since 2010-2021. Time to see if that bears any good fruit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
