They're about the same height, but not every small, determined player will become Marty St. Louis. The odds are stacked against him. I wish DiPietro the best, especially as long as he's a Canuck. Edit - Just looking at Halak's stats over his career. Quite good actually, for a 36 year old he's only had one season in his entire pro career where he was over 3.00 GAA.

Trading your best player while in the thick of a playoff hunt I'm sorry but that's a terrible message to the fans and the coach/players. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will bring the pots and pans...meet you where? (Maybe we can fire up a plane...got one??) 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) Miller being back helps, but Martin or DiPietro aren't who you want in net against the best player in the world and another one in Draisaitl. Guess we'll see what happens, they'll need another Florida effort. Edited January 25, 2022 by Coconuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.B Cooper Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 People being so sensitive and aggressive about any Dipietro criticisms. What is this…… the Covid thread? Is it early to write him off? Sure. Is there anything to question in his game? Yup He is very small and his positioning is poor. He relies way too much on his athleticism, and not enough structure. It’s like watching Dom Hasek, but bad. The good news, positioning and structure can be taught, but the athleticism he possesses cannot. He is fairly young and if he can get structure in his game, he has the natural ability to be great. It concerns me his positioning is as poor looking as it is though, considering how long we’ve had him in the system. It should be better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Demko Martin tandem of the future Thinking Halak might be traded prior to or at the TDL. Doesn't he receive bonuses if he plays two more games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if Aquilini would okay that move during this season unless we're mathematically out of the playoff hunt. He' seems very concerned about every dollar of revenue this year, I don't think he's going to give the greenlight to JR that we're pulling the plug on the season, which is what a JT Miller trade would symbolize.

One game, anything can happen, especially with the Edmonton Sybils I don't disagree, I just don't see this game as the cakewalk some are making it out to be. I want the boys to play well, but I've def got some concerns. We need the points, but you know Edmonton's going to come hard and try to build on their first win a while. We joke about Alberta, but I was bored and watched that last Flames/Oilers game and both teams actually looked better than I thought they would, Oil are dangerous. We'll have to limit their chances and come back hard defensively as a group. Fortunately that Lammikko line's been good lately. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And re this: Quote He relies way too much on his athleticism, and not enough structure. Quote positioning and structure can be taught, but the athleticism he possesses cannot. Athleticism CAN be "taught" (improved) to some degree. Flexibility work is part of that. I, too, am concerned that he makes himself SO small in net...but I think that's a fairly easy fix (once you break his old habits). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
