I am just going to post the stats for all you pav lovers.
Saved 28/32 for a save percentage of 0.875
while holtby on the other hand,
saved 43/47 for a save percentage of 0.915
I don't hate pav, I just have higher expectations.
Scoring chances were 25-14 in favour of Jets. Score was 4-4.
For comparison, last game chances were 10-9 against the Jets.
Lots of A games: Ladd, Little, Wheeler,
Team let down by one player! We all know who!
Ill say it again. We are stuck with Pavs for 3 more years cause his contract sucks. Find a damn goalie coach that can teach him something.
Not even going after Pavs mediocre stats, sometimes he just needs to be better than the goalie at the other end of the rink. Honestly the only time he's done that this season IMO was against Dubnikov and Quick (which probably won't be the case next time around). Hard to make the playoffs when you have the 2nd best goalie on the ice in most games.
That's just the reality of where the Jets are. It's not an excuse for the poor team play for the majority of the young season, but Pavelec just isn't good enough.
Great goaltending wins games... Minus the shootout Holtby was outstanding.
When you outshoot/outchance a team that badly i dont know how you can lose. I mean in regulation... who cares about how the shootout went honestly
You could probably get Thomas out of Florida for a song since they want to dump salary.

Holtby made some good saves but three of the goals he let in would have spawned endless pages of Pavalec hate if he had let them in.
Every goal scored on the Jets is because of bad goaltending, every goal the Jets score is because it was a great shot and was deserved.

Shots were 47-32 for the Jets, who do you think came up with the big saves?

At the risk of getting an infraction I have to answer this post with utter honesty and hope people take it at face value and nothing more.
This post is a head in the sand argument that is simply ignoring the data. You're creating a strawman. The fact is that Pavs wasn't facing nearly 50 shots, Holtby did. This isn't some giant personal vendetta people have against him to the point where were saying ridiculous things to discredit pavelec. He just isn't good enough. He's a backup goaltender that Chevy rolled the dice on and we came up snakeeyes.
