There’s hardly been any scoring chances for Detroit tonight.

They’ve barely outplayed us with this AHL lineup we have tonight.

This should probably be a 2-2 game and not a 4-2 game.

This could easily be a 4-2 game in our favor if Lyon sucked as much as Daws tonight.

This is all your fault. Before the game Daws told me he knew he was auditioning for you. And he was scared because he knows how tough you are in goalies .
 
Good to see such a high TOI for the Hamster.

Are you sure it’s him and not just the half an AHL lineup we dressed?

I honestly think the AHL lineup has a lot to do with it.

With Daws giving the most AHL performance of the night.

I just got home so haven't seen much but the Debrincat goal was ass.

He was ass all night.

Goals 1 and 2 weren’t much better.

Brian Boucher was very critical of him on both of them, so it’s not just me.

Goal 3 wasn’t much different than the DeBrincat goal, but he didn’t have nearly as much time to react on that one.

Given the lineup this wasn’t a bad effort. Daws sucked.

Dougie played well and that is all that matters.
Daws was the worst player tonight IMO.

If Lyon was that bad tonight this game is in OT. And that’s assuming Daws still sucked.

If Lyon was that bad and Daws wasn’t then we win.

Detroit are awful. I can’t believe they aren’t a bottom team in the East with what I saw tonight. Didn’t even outplay the Devils D team.

Maybe it's a good thing, I don't want Daws to be the backup goalie next year.
Markstrom-Daws for 25-26 sounds about as catastrophic as Vanecek-Schmid 23-24.

We’ll be trading for the 2026 deadline version of 2024 Jake Allen if we go that route.

Hopefully we’re not out of the playoffs by the 2026 deadline like we were at the 2024 deadline.
 
Not with a 35-36 year old Markstrom and no other insurance.

His NHL resume is just not good enough, with the exception of this year, where he’s played only 3 games before tonight? His AHL numbers aren’t so hot.

It reeks of Vitek-Schmid 2.0 from 23-24.

And Schmid actually had 20 or so NHL games played in 22-23, as well as being the starting goalie for our playoff series win. So he was more proven to that point.
Daws though hasnt been given the reigns to a team thats defensively reliable yet.

With context (prior to this year, and tonight lol) we know hes mostly gotten starts behind hampered and defensively-aloof squads.

Even then, between ages 21-24, I think hes been solid enough to get a shot in camp for that backup spot. And with Keefe's new system I think we can afford to wait and see how the competition plays out, instead of forcing a veteran and blocking that avenue

I think it wise to begin a youth movement in net; before we find ourselves going every few seasons into the well for a veteran rental

I think it’s possible he can be fine next year in the NHL, but it’s too risky IMO. It’s a gamble. It could be a losing one if it doesn’t work out.

But if ir does work out it will free up cap.

If Jake Allen wants to come back and he is happy to sign for league minimum, i'll bring him back next season to backup Marky.

Daws is fine as a number 3 goalie. Yes, he will go through waivers next season but I think it will be low risk that he will actually get claimed. He didnt have a good year in Utica. Maybe that not all his fault given Utica team was trash.

Allen will get much more than league minimum.
