What is happening to boudreau? he wants to lose? Wants to prove management wrong in acquiring pilons for 2nd round picks... he is out of a job end of year so why not prove a point that management doesn't know what they are doing....

Coconuts Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 8 minutes ago, Dr. Crossbar said: I"m not whipping knives out or turning on Demko. I'm saying Martin should start tonight. He's been the better goalie. Simple. No emotion. We need wins. People aren't turning on Demko. From my view, people are simply saying run with the hotter goalie right now given the situation. I'd run with Martin tonight and give Demko Vegas because we need MVP goaltending against them and we need Martin to steal a game like tonight. And I've yet to make any implication you're personally doing anything throughout this discussion. Can't say I agree with that, I've seen plenty of dumping on Demko. But yes, I understand the running with the "hot" goaltender. We'll see how things play out regarding goaltending going forward. Maybe Demko bounces back, maybe Martin continues to eke out wins, maybe Martin falters. It'll be interesting to see how folks react if he does while Demko struggles. Time will tell.

I never said you were but I was just making it clear for the record just in case. I think a lot of the frustration this season stems from knowing we do have great goaltending - starter and backup - yet here we are squandering and struggling. Agree, though, it will be interesting and time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cripplereh Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Well to me it seems no matter what player are on any line doesn't matter there is not enough will to win. Adding players but keeping the core the same does not work. Till trades are made we will keep playing the same game. Clean house with a new coach and core and we might win games.

Ghostsof1915 Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 (edited) The team defensively and from a goaltending standpoint is struggling. The team needs puck support. Back up your team mates, keep shots to the outside so Demko can see them. And put pressure on the other end of the ice. Stop the dump and chase. Puck possession. The opposing team can't get shots if we have the puck. Did losing Shaw and Walker really mess up our team that bad? Might be something to Shaw, considering how well Philly is doing. (Well in comparison, they seem to be coming back to Earth after a hot start.) Edited November 18, 2022 by Ghostsof1915 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The goaltending bit is an odd one, you know where I stand in terms of what I think should have been done over the summer, or what should be done now, but even I wasn't expecting this. The goaltending or the record. A second historically bad start in a row, it's hard to say how things play out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
