GDT: Game V Pens vs Swords: Can we make it 2 in a row?

[Sideline]

At this point I think you can reasonably argue that Dubas' decision to re-sign Jarry was the final nail in this team's coffin to ever making the playoffs again.

They're toast.

Disagree. Blomquist and Ned have 78 games to get them back on track.

 

[mrcod4]

f*** Jarry for killing the crowd buzz that Sid's 1600 point deserved. That's one of like 4 things worth cheering for this year

Why "process" can never be the be all end all. Yea that summer his numbers for that cap hit was the best option. What didn't figure in the data was how he was a choke artist who had zero dog in him.

 

[Bishop7979]

Haha I was gonna say... well at least Bishop's fantasy team is gonna have a terrific night.

Nah I'll probably be a double loser, a pens fan with the rest of my fantasy team sucking this week.

If only I had guys playing. Jarry every day. I'd be champ

77

We're on the hook for Jarry's salary, no matter what, but that doesn't mean he needs to play.

Play your best netminder.

Jarry is our 3rd option now.

 

[K Fleur]

I remember he told me that I represented "everything wrong with Penguins fans" or something because I said I felt more comfortable with Ned than Jarry in net .

“You think this goalie that sucks actually sucks? Well f*** you you fake fan wanker” -HOG..prolly

 

[Bishop7979]

Lol Jarry.

The new jack campbell

 

[TNT87]

Petts is gonna tank his value at this rate.

He has been a disappointment early in the season. He's usually dependable. Too many mistakes on defense.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

At this point it does kinda feel like I'm picking on the guy... that ugly contract isn't his fault... the team in front of him isn't his fault... etc. But man... they really just have to part ways with Tristan Jarry ASAP for the sake of everyone.

I will never forget how many people dismissed the Jarry signing as "what other choice do they have?" when it was very obviously a massive stretch and I think that's being very charitable.

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

I think the other big indictment of Jarry besides his actual (piss poor) play is this team clearly hates playing in front of him

Typically hate making sweeping generalizations like that but it’s painfully obvious

 

[SomeOldDude]

The goaltending options in ufa were dire that off season so I get why they talked themselves into Jarry but yeah it sucks how it worked out

Yes, but they didn't need to do a 5 year deal. If Jarry insisted on that let him walk. I'm no GM, but i think we all knew he wasn't going to figure out anyways.

 

[eXile3]

Man, they just kind of brushed over 1,600 didn’t they?

Bro quit on the team last year.

You can’t just part ways with him though if he’s playing like this. The Penguins aren’t in a position as a team to waste assets to get rid of his contract unless they find another awful contract coming back.

Counterpoint

 

[Pancakes]

Our defense is something else this game

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

St Ivany may suck

 

[Rudy Russo]

The penguins defenseman tonight aren't helping the goalies out tonight.

 

[SomeOldDude]

Geno looked irritated at that goal too. I think he really wanted that feed from Sid.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Leave it to Jarry...

Then you waive him. It's an extreme solution but they can't carry on like this even if the stated intention for this season is to rebuild.

 

[Coastal Kev]

Well the Sabres have 3 goals. The first was on Jarry

Then he needs to save at least one of the next two (truthfully like 8/10 or more. Less is untenable. Even elite teams give up odd man rushes)

He's obviously hearing the chirping from the fans., Sully should have avoided playing him at home for a month and let him work his nerves out. All goalies battle this at times during their career; Jarry is simply more susceptible to this due to his natural streakiness.

This coming from someone didn't want him resigned.

I was in favor of pay up to get Hellebuyck and now want Ned and Blomquist running with the net at this point, but Jarry's UFA year really was one of the worst goalie markets ever. Korpisalo was the 2nd best choice...

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

Colorado was probably ahead of us in the order, but I would have absolutely waived Jarry and claimed Kaapo Kahkonen.

I can't think of a player who so desperately needed a change of scenery in recent memory.

Oh well. They're goaltenders. Figure it out for a year to bridge the gap. Giving Tristan Jarry 5 years was madness.
