Post-Game Talk: Vegas I guess

[Stone97Ace]

Who else is watching this post game? Never have I seen this level of criticism of anyone let alone our goalie. Valley is testing it

I’m shocked msg employs vally with how critical he is of the team

I think Vally is the only person in the whole org that tells it at face value, straight up, with no f***s given.

Good! All of them need to get their heads out of their collective asses thinking they are playing well.

 

[MattMartin]

But Sorokin has been great every season. Shesterkin had a fluke year and a good start to his career. Other than that he's been slightly above average or bad.

I have to be honest, I thought he was just having a bad stretch recently. Shesterkin that is.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Lavy is also giving me serious AV vibes

 

[bbny]

I would like to apologize once more. It wasn't straight up Shesterkin for McDavid. I sent Elvis and McDavid for Marchand and Shesterkin.

I’d trade you for a hemerrhoid

Say hello to Boyler for pre-post..John G will finally feel like the man

I thought this and then Colorado had both goalies implode and went 16-4 in the playoffs.

To be fair Colorado skaters were probably the second best to Detroit in 08 in terms of cup winning teams post-cap. They were a unicorn. It's unfair to expect our skaters to be able to carry the load like that for any team really.

if the rest of your team can play, it masks your goalie issues and vice versa

the problem as of late this season is we don’t have the team backing up the goalie’s poor play or the goalie backing up the team’s good play. we either win big or lose big. early on in the season we had some really close, tight games we nanaged to win, but lattely we either win big or lose big without one being able to balance out the other if one isn’t doing well. that’s the key to at least finding ways to win, and lately we’ve been atrocious with that

Oh crap, the 837777272 gum cap hit is gonna kill us

he was. snowblind likes to overexaggerate how bad igor is. this has been by far his worst season/worst stretch. he wasn’t anywhere close to this bad any other season. he’s had bad stretches just like this in previous seasons but this stretch has gone on for quite a while, with a handful of really good starts sprinkled in.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Lavy needs to get pissed and throw some people under the bus.

Dude... WTF are you talking about? Talking up Sorokin over Igor? Igor one fluke season??

I have to be honest, I thought he was just having a bad stretch recently. Shesterkin that is.

I mean, I'm the first person to remind people that Lundqvist was a sub 0.920 goalie 3 of his first 4 (or is it 4 of his first 5?) seasons and Igor's stats were in the 0.915 range which isn't THAT bad. That said he sucked last year and then went on a prolonged good run to bump up his save percentage. This season he's had a few stretches where I thought he might have fixed himself mentally. Like the last two games. But then he just has a terrible game every damn time when he strings together a few good games.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Lavy sounds clueless. They sucked other than the first ten minutes

 

[Stone97Ace]

Why does Lavvy look 20 years younger and 50 years happier on post game?

Get me Torts. Again.

Looks like we better get used to it.

I just looked at the Vezina list. Only one of the last 12 has been a repeat. Igor may have already shot his load, if you will.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

he was. snowblind likes to overexaggerate how bad igor is. this has been by far his worst season/worst stretch. he wasn’t anywhere close to this bad any other season. he’s had bad stretches just like this in previous seasons but this stretch has gone on for quite a while, with a handful of really good starts sprinkled in.

He was awful last year until like February. Not quite this bad but pretty bad. Then he righted the ship. A few times (like the last two games) I thought he was going to do that again. But nope, he just shits himself the next game.

 

[Stone97Ace]

After Lav the goalie get fired tonight, I want him hired as our coach.

I need this for multiple reasons.

 

[ReddestRum]

This fanbase gives me a headache. See yous Sat.

[tlk]

Y'all made that up

Or rather VGK made that up with how they play.

And yes "good" is tongue in cheek cos it's Howden ffs.
Also it seems there's a dip this seson.

Ok, I'll be honest, I thought Sorokin had three 0.920+ seasons. But if you look at Igor's full seasons outside of one season he's been at best just a bit better than average. Last season he was horseshit until the end of the season. This season I'm not expecting the same miracle. Will probably hover around 0.900. He's Georgiev with one fluke season.
