RU SERIOUS Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 While our skaters are struggling to gain their stride, enormous pressures have shifted onto our Goalies, and while Demko has certainly done his part to win & steal some games for us, he can't do it all by himself. That is why Halak was brought in here - to provide some down-time and relief for Demko - yet he has failed to win a single game this year after playing in 6 games (5 of which starts). Q: If we can't depend on Halak to at least win a few games, shouldn't Jim B recognize this and TERMINATE Halak and Replace him with a proper BU goalie immediately? 3 9 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Petey40 Posted December 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2021 Have the Canucks even scored more than 2 goals in a game that Halak played yet? I think he’s been solid this year. He just never gets any run support from the team. 1 13 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post StanleyCupOneDay Posted December 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2021 Halak has kept us in most games he’s played for us. He has a .910 save percentage (higher than Demko) and lets in an average of 2.85 goals per game (also better than Demko). In those 6 games he’s played for us we’ve scored a grand total of 7 goals or an average of 1.17 goals per game. Halak isn’t the reason for the losses. 5 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quantum Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Goaltending is not an issue for the Canucks this year. Defense is. And a static and shallow forward group. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post -AJ- Posted December 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2021 Halak has been fine. Not amazing by any means, but his save percentage is actually higher than Demko's right now. He's not been a problem. A lack of scoring and a poor PK is a much bigger issue. 3 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Vanderhoek Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Halak has played fine, he is not the problem. Goaltending is the team's strong point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamhuis Hip Check Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Heres the steps we need to take right now. 1) Hire someone to oversee the hockey area of the business 2) Have this person fire green and benning and replace them with damn near anyone 3) The new gm and coach can use this season to evaluate the teams needs and make trades as necessary at the deadline or after the season. To talk about replacing any players before step one and two are done would be insane right now. Especially trading a goalie, that is nowhere near our biggest area of concern and unless theres a grand slam of a trade i want nothing to do with trading either right now.

granpappy Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 yes, we need a backup that can pot us a couple every game 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Halak has been fine. But you're right actually, there is a problem. The problem is that he's suffering the same fate Holtby did last season, the team barely gives him any run support. We haven't won many games this year, we have trouble scoring, but for whatever reason this team doesn't score more than maybe a couple goals a game when Halak is in net. When your margin for error is so small because the team can't score, and when a team's PK is as garbage as ours has been this season, yeah.. it's gonna impact your ability to win games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 (edited) Goaltending is the last thing you should be pointing fingers at, Halak's given us a chance to win every game he's played and that's all you can reasonably expect out of a backup. Get a clue. Edited December 3, 2021 by Coconuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iinatcc Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Holtby has some killer numbers. How about Halak for Holtby and a 2nd That's the Benning way to do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickenspear Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 We've only hit the 2 goal mark twice when he was in the net... but sure, lets blame the backup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Is it time to replace the fans? Maybe the reason the Canucks are having a poor season has nothing to do with the players nor the coaches nor management - maybe it's the negative fan base - change that and maybe the Canucks start winning! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
