Post-Game Talk: Isles def. Canucks - 6-2 (Horvat x2)

[Bgav]

Who should we send as our representation to the Draft Lottery?

Somebody really franking weird.

They should send Bedards dad lol

The issue, as it is basically everywhere with cap mismanaged clubs, is the depth generally, not Martin specifically.

Teams that spends a lot of money on two goalies tend to not do well.

Wow they are playing spice girls?

Assuming Demko could stay healthy, and then assuming Martin could step-in if he couldn’t, was obviously a very poor bet.

Player Season Totals - Natural Stat Trick

I'm not sure purely looking at xGA/60 is a good metric because you expect to have worse numbers if you have the second lowest offensive zone start percentage on the entire team.

Ah, I was looking at 5v5 and 5v5 score adjusted.

That’s a fair comment on xGA/60, but I think it is more important to use score adjusted stats. Maybe on a team with more skewed usage you would need to better account for zone starts, but the difference between Myers and the most sheltered player Hughes is basically swapping 1-2 o-zone face offs for d-zone faceoffs per game. Don’t think that would change much on its own.

4th last in the league is a real possibility and I’m here for it

True but I would have signed him even if we had a ton of cap space. You can easily shelter a backup, especially one who had put up his numbers in the NHL. Even easier when you have a goalie like Demko.

I don’t see anything wrong with that

Martin has lost the mojo he had last year.

This is the nail in the coffin of this season. Needed to go on a run and did the opposite, and have a brutal stretch coming.

Goaltending f***ed us big time but the team as a whole cannot sustain decent 5 v 5 play through 60 min. It's been like this the entire season.

Don’t get me wrong, I would have kept Martin, probably as third string or hybrid backup. Going in with this little margin for error (and that doesn’t just apply in net) and paper thin depth is the issue.

Man Martin has come crashing down to earth this year.

It was worth the gamble to try a cheap backup but he won’t be the back up next season

He can’t be. He’s a nice guy but the rest of the NHL has figured him out. He plays too high and makes himself too small.

Assuming Demko could stay healthy, and then assuming Martin could step-in if he couldn’t, was obviously a very poor bet.

Seems like the perfect thing to do for this season.

Entire almost-decade.

D cant help its not all on goalies

 

[sting101]

What a team

 

[tantalum]

Canucks have only had like 15 shots since the 5 or 6 minute mark of the first. Come into the third trailing by 1 and once again muster an absurdly low number of shots in the third.

This defence is shaking his confidence daily.

Is Horvat on juice? Theirs no other way to explain it
