Tones12 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 No those aren’t typos…those are Demko’s numbers which put him at 65th and 65th in the league respectively. Is it time to for him to give up the net, impossible to win many games with those numbers and he looks like he has zero confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rychicken Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Playing Martin more could work, but could also backfire - he has...15ish career NHL games, so the opponents may not have "a book" on him - once they see him more, they may see weaknesses that haven't been discovered in his short body of work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred65 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Personally I'm starting to wonder if management has already started the tank. They play an out classed Stillman, play the goalie in the dumps and traded a second for a Studnicka when they had better option iin the Abbotsford. Some thing is amiss ?

Goalies playing bad and are under siege against every team that isn't a bottom team or struggling for the most part. It's a bad cocktail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bad cocktail. it's a terrible situation for our goalies right now.. they are both struggling.. and the team for whatever reason doesn't simplify their plays with smart hockey and make it easier for our goalies to gain their confidence back. how do either goalie gain confidence and make some simple saves knowing the team will give up infinite odd man rush against and if he gives up a rebound his defence won't be there to clear it or clears it onto the opponent's stick lol. sux to be demko or martin right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Biestra Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 If I were Boudreau I would be playing Spencer Martin if I wanted to win right now. It has happened before. Troy Gamble stole Kirk McLean's job for a season around 1991 and played better than Captain Kirk that year. Kirk worked hard in the offseason and in the next three years he was a Vezina finalist and a Stanley Cup finalist. Goalies are supposed to be mentally tough...you don't need to coddle them like babies...unfortunately the exception being Luongo who wanted to take his ball and go home when Schneider unseated him. I love Luongo but he made his own bed with the goalie controversy there. Point being...all kinds of great goalies have an off year. If they are really a starter they show what they can do the next year. I have seen management give up on goalies too early (Barrasso in Buffalo, Pete Peeters in Philadelphia, Curtis Joseph in St. Louis), I have seen goalies pout until they are traded (Roy, Luongo), and I have seen both team and goalie remain loyal to each other until the last minute of the goalie's career (Billy Smith, Tony Esposito). Brass tacks...just play the goalie who is playing well. If not getting some starts actually turns out to be the end of the world for Demko, then he was never the guy to begin with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demko, is good enough to lead the team to NHL Purgatory cause the rest of the roster are only interested, in padding their stats vs team success. Too bad: the team has a franchise goalie and a fractured locker room. Edited November 23, 2022 by ShawnAntoski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
