Well, we could be Oiler fans in McDavid waste of an generational talent time frame where Sid was already to two finals winning one and going into his next batch of B2B's cups.ryan reaves truly marked the end of sid competing for cups
Not asking why. Simply stating that the goalie was not the only anchor in that series, and people will pretend like he was.This series, this game 5, this choke?
And your post is asking why guys like Sid, Jake, and McCann got a pass while everyone jumped on Jarry? Are you serious?
Winning B2B helps when Sid and Geno are late 20s not late 30s.Crosby was only 29 when they won in 2017. They totally screwed up from that point on for 8 years.
Game 5 was lost by Jarry. 2 goals on 50 shots is irrelevant.Not asking why. Simply stating that the goalie was not the only anchor in that series, and people will pretend like he was.
But I still remember that series and know that's a lie.
That juggernaut regular season offense failed too. And L1's poor defending cost us goals against on top of their offensive failure.
There were a lot of close games still and numerous guys who were regular season beasts sucked when we needed them most. Game 5 was a shining example. 2 goals on 50 shots. A plethora of high danger chances where we got their goalie moving laterally and had openings.
AHL finishing cost them that game well before OT.

We're at the end because our generational talents are old and the next generation is taking over. We can bemoan roster moves all we want but Cup winners have high end talents in their prime. When was the last time a team won the Cup with the star talents being late 30s?
Game 5 was lost by Jarry. 2 goals on 50 shots is irrelevant.
That game is the perfect example of "who gives a shit about the forest when it's one tree?"
Jarry's sv% or GAA does not matter from Game 5. What matters is that he made a gaffe and let in an INCREDIBLY soft 2OT goal in a critical Game 5. Period. Everything else is secondary to a very extreme extent. It doesn't matter why they are at 2OT with 2 goals on 50 shots. That's irrelevant to the game-losing goal.
That game is a good micronism of Jarry's issues today and as a whole.

I'll repeat what I said multiple times because it's, again, very relevant here:
Jarry is at a point where SV% and GAA do not matter anymore. It's irrelevant and even more irrelevant now with the team in the position that it is. If you're 8-2 but your goalie is .900 sv% and 4.00 GAA, then there might be cause for concern come playoff time. We are merely looking to get into that WC2 slot. The W matters. I don't give a shit if they post .850s game in and game out, but if they come out with the win, that's all that matters this year. Jarry needs to be putting the team in a position to win every single game. He is not doing that. At the end of the day, SV% and GAA are irrelevant if your goalie is either making a pass in the video above or letting in an incredibly soft goal to start the game. Even in the three games he's been in, there are shots that your goalie needs to save in order to win a game that Jarry isn't making.
We no longer care about goalie vs goalie stats. If Neds posts a .875% but makes a key save late in the third during a tie game (or up by 1), I don't care about the the sv% afterwards if we get the W. Similarly, if Jarry posts a 1.000 but lets in a softy at the end and we lose 1-0, I'm not going to care if his sv% was 0.9999% if we have a loss.
This is a VERY hard position for Jarry to play himself out of. It's not the forest anymore with him, it's the tree(s).
06-07 Sid with a Rantanan+Nuke/Landy, Hyman+Drai, or Guentzel level linemate in 2024...woof, good luck league.
How is that irrelevant?Winning B2B helps when Sid and Geno are late 20s not late 30s.

Ironic since Sid apparently asked for him to be on the team.ryan reaves truly marked the end of sid competing for cups
One thing said on the broadcast last night that struck a chord with me was that Jarry "moves slowly." That's something you can't stop seeing once you look for it.what Sealbound said can't be emphasized enough. I've been on the get Jarry out of here train since he single handedly lost us that series against the isle. Jarry is just incapable of rising to meet the occasion. He's probably playing even worse right now because the pressure is real, he's about to lose his starting role for good, and there is a chance he is done as a starting goalie in this league. He's not fighting that off, coming into camp in "best shape of his life" does nothing for the 2 cent head of his. He should've spent all summer working with a goalie coach addressing how poorly he reads the play. I can pick it out easily because I've resembled that at times lol....
How dare you inject logic to a bunch of miserable pathetic twats on this board.How is that irrelevant?
Since when is the offense allowed to suck when a contending season is on the line?
They still have a job to do, regardless of what Jarry does.
2 goals on 50 shots is 4% shooting. That's completely unacceptable, especially with how much offensive talent we had in the lineup and how good the chances were.
It's possible for two things to be true at the same time.
Yeah but where's the damn belly slide?Geno leading the league with 10 points in 5 games. Safe to say, that wasnt on anyone's bingo card this season
You know, there were a bunch of injuries he had that the team has been super vague about and I wonder if those are why he moves like that now. I get the NHL has these rules now that they don't need to disclose what injuries players go through, Jarry's have been super secretive.One thing said on the broadcast last night that struck a chord with me was that Jarry "moves slowly." That's something you can't stop seeing once you look for it.
They both gonna need the KY cuz they both gonna get $#!@edJarry and Graves to Edmonton for Nurse
Which team KYS first?
Because starting goalies impact results more than anyone else, and people wanna see playoffs again. Plus he's ruining people's mood during games.I feel like the badguys in John Wick, kinda.
"It's just a f***in' goaltender"
How are we getting so caught up on this guy? He isn't even a big personality to make up for his on ice pants-shitting. I just don't get it.
Because blokes here make him a main character for absolutely no reason other than their own ego and pettiness to keep pointing out the obvious with him.I feel like the badguys in John Wick, kinda.

Yes and most people acknowledge that the team stunk in that entire series. The difference between 1-4 and 6 and Game 5 was that Jarry made an individual play that directly led to him giving up a soft goal. This wasn't a lapse in defense, this wasn't lack of offense, this was a single, individual play that lost the game. Most people, including myself, have stated that while the overall team play was poor, it's all a distant 2nd to Jarry having a putrid series. You even admit that the goalies have more influence on how the game turns out than anyone so why wouldn't they be judged with a higher level of scrutiny?How is that irrelevant?
