DefCon1 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 4 minutes ago, Coconuts said: First goal he could have saved. Second was a screen, hockey's a fast game and NHL players will capitalize in seconds. I don't blame him for that one. Demko could have given that one up too. Third was a deflection. Deflections can beat Demko. I don't fault Halak. Third was a defensive breakdown, that pass should never have gotten through. Juulsen lost his man. I don't blame Halak. Fifth was a skill move by a star talent in Barzal, those goals happen. Maybe Demko saves it, maybe he doesn't. I'm not convinced Demko would be doing much better given the effort we've seen in front of Halak tonight. I would say it would probably 2-1 islanders with Demko in net. He would catch the puck or cover it up instead of that 1st goal, he would tip the puck that went through the blue ice instead of shying away. He would probably would save that Barzal breakaway too by coming more out of the net. Halak was playing way too deep into his own net. But Canucks are also playing very weak defensively, Juulsen has been complete garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalie is a part of the team. We invested in goaltending other teams don't. This is why we have Demko not Mike Smith. The team plays the same way regardless of who's in net. Of the 4 goalies that played for us this year Halak has been far and away the worst. No excuse for him being outplayed by AHL/ECHL goalies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we’re 5-5 by the end of the 2nd, I’ll punch this Isles fan sitting behind me in the face. Remind the puke he’s an Islanders fan and should be ashamed of his life. Very strong chance I might end up behind bars tonight. Let’s hope not. Edited February 10, 2022 by Odd. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammertime Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Shoulda just kept Holtby. Wouldn't have had the cash for Poolman but that's not the hugest loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case, I think you need to cash in with Miller. Set us up long term Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No excuse for him being outplayed by AHL/ECHL goalies. Going into this game he had a 2.4 GAA and a .918 save percentage. Despite that he only had a 2-4-2 record. Not sure what more you could ask. Almost every game he has played the players in front of him were slacking immensely. If anything we need to learn how to win games more consistently without vezina calibre goaltending. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
