If Halak doesn't want to do his job here he's welcome to move on. Wow. Is this guy for real? What is going on with hockey players the past decade? You would have never seen this is the 90s or 00s. Players would have done anything to play 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Send him to New York for a 7th round pick. Then they can move Georgiev to whoever is desperate for a goalie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, if I'm JR, I find out exactly what was said. If it as it appears, I would park his ass at home and call up Martin. You can pay the goof to stay away from the rink, call up Martin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB5 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 10 hours ago, -Vintage Canuck- said: I wonder if Halak will waive his NMC now. Really just unsubstantiated chatter originated from the most biased Flamer Kely Hrudey.. The only ones that really know what was going on here are BB and Halak. I wouldn't read too much into this. It's been so long since Halak played that maybe he was just surprised to get the nod to go in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has lived up to the terms of his deal. If he chooses to stay, good on him. If he chooses to go, also good on him. Call it another reminder to be very careful about signing contracts; like a potential 8 year, big money deal, for a guy that will be 30 before the deal starts. Last sentence is most relevant. As for the first part, all true statements. What is not being said is 1. He has not offered any value for his contract. 2. He has an attitude issue? 3. Lowest GAA and Save Percentage of his career.

His last 3 games sucked, but prior to that his save % was .913. His wins loss rate sucks because the team sucked till Green got fired. Lowest save % and goals average since way back- when he did not play much. Kevin Woodley talked of this on last nights post game on AM650- about 1hr 9 minutes into the show.

Mustard Tiger Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 halak isn't trash, It's our incredibly inconsistent team that is trash. After all the crap our franchise has pulled we should not be giving them the benefit of the doubt and strictly dumping on the player 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We score 1 goal when he starts, Or he get thrown into the fire when our team is getting lit up mid game. Being a goalie is all mental, You don't think it may affect his play a little bit if you where told to be a 1B, Expect never play... Have media try to blame you for the reason we are going to miss the playoffs, And only get games where you are already down by 4 goals? Give me a break even demko has been struggling lately 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me a break even demko has been struggling lately Unless he is traded Halak should finish the season backing Demko. JB might have told him he would be a 1B tender and been honest in saying that. Demko started the season never being a #1 in the NHL. Demko has soared and Halak year suffered as a result. No way should Spenser Martin be brought up to sit on the bench for the rest of the season! Abby has a playoff drive going and a real opportunity of a Calder Cup run. Canucks are not making playoffs. Abby should be the focus now as there are players there that will make the NHL. A good playoff run should tell Rutherford and crew a lot about their potential. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am more displeased about his reaction last night. Also who cares what was speculated as to his role here. Things change. He needs to accept that and if he’s not happy, waive the NMC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all the crap our franchise has pulled we should not be giving them the benefit of the doubt and strictly dumping on the player Halak has struggled his last couple starts, but he's kept us in it most games this year. I'm not gonna go digging for it but Vintage posted a graphic regarding how many goals the Canucks have scored with him in net this season, on a game to game basis it hasn't been many. Halak was just fine for what's been a longtime playoff team in Boston, Holtby was also dumped on here and has gone on to play well in Dallas. Nilsson struggled here too. Even Martin, playing out of his mind, took what.. three games to finally get his first win? Vancouver loves $&!#ting on it's backups while the team in front of them consistently let's them down. Maybe, just maybe, it's not just about Halak. People take Demko playing like a Vezina candidate most nights for granted, ignoring the fact that said goaltending covers up numerous flaws.
