We were awful, as usual, but Holtby had a pretty terrible game, both the first 2 goals were basically whiffs

Well, at least Canucks contained Tiffoli to just an assist ... and a 2 mins penalty.

How do you all think the Holtby experiment is going so far?

I don't blame Holtby.. Look at all the 2v1s, 3v1s, 2v0's he has to deal with. No those aren't the only goals that go by, but it's on the D not him. Also the Perry goal was a deflection

Demko is better than Holtby at this point imo.

Problem is are we just gonna destroy Demko now that we have such weak goaltending?

PLD dad is an assistant coach of the Moose. So he definitely welcomed that trade

I wouldn’t say our goaltending is weak. I’d say they’ve been hung out to dry so far.

As for the comparison, despite Demko’s playoff performance he still isn’t ready to play 60 as a true number one and be relied upon to steal a handful of games. Holtby is an excellent stop gap until that day comes.

Demko/Holtby were put in the top 5 of goalie tandems this season and if the team did a better job defensively, this would be a non-issue. https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/2077999

It’s still very early to be writing anyone off IMO. I’ll be a more critical judge of player performance during this messed up season around the 20 game mark, myself.

welp, pretty glad i went to work OT instead of watch the game now.

I've heard the argument in our sample size so far that well even though goaltending hasn't been the reason why we've lost the difference with having Marky last year was he stole some games we had no business winning. Well, from what little I've seen so far even last year Marky can't bail us out with these performances so far.

game tonight against ottawa. i swear to god, if we lose to the sens at all this season there is no hope.

Haha. Demko is starting. That's an L

^Who's the predicted No. 1 in the next draft? Is he a generational superstar?

A recent quote I saw about the 2021 draft was “let’s just say this isn’t the year to tank”

Murray is starting too, we just need Boeser to get in his head

Nice goal by Sutter! LOL

Nice yoosy rebound by Murray there

Sutter with another decent goal lol

YEAH MOTTE!

Damn I was on the toilet and missed the GREAT SHOTTE MOTTE

Really like Hoagie

As much as this is a great start to the game, the number of defensive lapses against OTTAWA is still quite concerning so far.

Another nice play by Hoagie! SeemsGood

They should start going in eventually I hope

myers :facepalm:

Myers looks like such a big dumb giant pylon out there
