Post-Game Talk: Game #2 Pens vs Wings: Much better game

[Genetic]

It's not really the fact that Jarry, the "starter" for this team, is making a bit under $5.5M AAV. It's that he sucks, he's volatile as hell, he routinely craters in the final 3-4 months of the season, he has injury issues, and he's an unlikable whiner.

Paying your starter what the Pens are paying Jarry is fine. Jarry's just a mess. /shrug

A whiner? What did I miss? Or did you mean to call him a wiener?

Well... then I guess that's on the league GMs to learn from their mistakes all over again.

You don't pay this position. One big money goaltender finally winning one doesn't really change my mind on that.

It WOULD be nice if the side effect is that Jarry's deal looks more palatable. But we'll see.

I'm fine with paying a great goalie great money.

The problem is that the position is so volatile and there are so few great goalies. Jarry isn't one of them. He's replacement level, as we find out every time he's replaced by a goalie making a fraction of his salary.

He is constantly blaming the team for his goals.

It just feels like he's always making excuses; saying some vague shit about "if you guys only knew the injuries I was dealing with" etc.
