GDT: #63 vs. San Jose - Only 20 games to go - 7:00 p.m, Sportsnet Pacific

[NucksRock*]

Markstrom now has a 22.5 GAA and a 0.25 SV% so far this season.

Wow, what a start. Markstrom sucked in his first attempt to have a career here.

Can he not be coached to be mentally prepared? He looked like he was still in bed.

Just because you are big, you cant be a sponge all the time. You have to be ready to battle, and be ready to stop shots and control rebounds.

That was just gross. Maybe we can can Cloutier again..

 

[LiquidSnake]

Yeah because that's exactly what I said.

Yes. Actually it is. You insinuated that Without miller this team wouldn't win, while he was absolute **** for the sabres last year. But I guess that doesn't count?

 

[opendoor]

Why the hell is McMillan on the 2nd line?

 

[Nuckles]

God this fan base is disgusting. A very sad start to a game, it happens. But throw a guy under the bus who has spent 6 months rebuilding his status after 7 minutes. Horrible.

Yeah disappointing, but one game does not decide the fate of the franchise, this season or this goalie.

His NHL career isn't over, but he just continues to post very poor NHL numbers, it happened last year and the year before that as well. It seems like he has a mental block going from the AHL to the NHL because he is always dominant in the AHL year after year.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Why the **** would he play this game? It just boggles my mind how can Eddie be tired when we've rode Miller harder as a 34 year old? Why couldn't he play against Arizona??

Lack had been playing pretty poorly so I can see giving markstrom a shot. Backfired big time though

 

[ace4]

Some of you in here are hilarious. It's nine ****ing minutes into the game, it's far from over.

This game is over but the season isn't. For some reason, average goalies like Niemi and Lehtinen play like Vezina winners against the Canucks.

 

[NucksRock*]

I can play the "What if" game forever. It was dumb for him to play him in the most important game of the season.

another minor league willie questionable decision

along with vey and mcuseless

 

[WTG]

I feel so bad for Markstrom damn

Poor guy.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

New players , new coach , new management , yet the same weird problem of having momentum swings destroy them in short order

I thought that was L̶u̶o̶n̶g̶o̶ ̶S̶c̶h̶n̶e̶i̶d̶e̶r̶ ̶L̶a̶c̶k̶ ̶ Markstrom's problem.

 

[Bure All Day]

k

I like how you didn't quote my entire post, just the part with the hyperbole. Good job

Haven't we scored like 2.5 GPG against Niemi in his career?

 

[Luongos Knob]

hard to watch

 

[EpochLink]

Bad call to play Markstrom tonight, looks like Lack will ride for Arizona and San Jose on Saturday

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

I can play the "What if" game forever. It was dumb for him to play him in the most important game of the season.

Exaggeration much? Even if we lose, we're still three points up on the Sharks, and have two games in hand. We can make up the loss against Arizona, while Lack will get the California run.

 

[Zombotron]

Masters degrees are useless right?

Dude, the pursuit of higher learning is bogus. I drive the #20 bus and I'm happier than those dumb academics. I'm also...richer in...spirit?

 

[VanillaCoke]

Unlike HF posters.

First NHL start in a year.....

Playoff race team of allstars sharks, or rebuilding bottom feeder coyotes?

I think 9/10 NHL coaches pick coyotes.

 

[NucksRock*]

Why the hell is McMillan on the 2nd line?

because he's the second coming of mike bossy

in minor league willie's head

 

[thepuckmonster]

Yes. Actually it is. You insinuated that Without miller this team wouldn't win, while he was absolute **** for the sabres last year. But I guess that doesn't count?

Miller is a better goalie than both our goalies right now. It's not a difficult concept.

And Miller was Incredible on Buffalo last season.

 

[elproducto]

Eddie looks like he's ready to throw the **** down. He almost looks pissed.

 

[ace4]

I can play the "What if" game forever. It was dumb for him to play him in the most important game of the season.

The real problem is that Willie will play Lack every game until Miller returns.

 

[IntangiBo]

This game is over but the season isn't. For some reason, average goalies like Niemi and Lehtinen play like Vezina winners against the Canucks.

For some strange reason fans of EVERY ********* NHL team say things like this and think it's only their team.

 

[MS]

The 2nd goal was worse than the 3rd. Should have been a simple save if he was positioned properly but somehow Karlsson had a foot of room along the ice to squib that into the net.

 

[opendoor]

Markstrom now has a 22.5 GAA and a 0.25 SV% so far this season.

On the bright side that'll bring down the average goalie stats and make Miller's look a little better.

 

[Catamarca Livin]

Yes. Actually it is. You insinuated that Without miller this team wouldn't win, while he was absolute **** for the sabres last year. But I guess that doesn't count?

Except Miller was very good in Buffalo last year.
