GDT #44 - 2024/01/20 - poor nucks fans

[LeafOfFaith]

But a lot of teams have a capable backup, Jones and Samsonov are neither, and teams that have a goalie who may or may not be legit ( Woll) usually have an adequate insurance policy.

I don't agree. They're both capable backups.

When you play the shit out of Jones - this is expected even sooner that’s we aren’t getting 920+ goaltending.

But this is more than Jones, a lot more. Demkos has gifted us with a bunch of soft goals to make sure this wasn’t a blow out.

Like, if you can trade for an impact player at the deadline, specifically a top 4 D, or a #2C then do it, but i wouldnt waste assets overpaying for guys that dont move the needle.

They aren't 1 player away

 

[MapleLeafBlueJayBoy]

It was fun while it lasted with Jones.

Down we go.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

And a goalie. Woll is good but you have to be prepared for his fall from grace

Oh yeah, ideally.

Like Woll might be good, but he's such an unknown, i just think some Leaf fans have been a touch irrational about how good he might be because he's a legit mystery box relative to the known garbage. They have to hold out hope he's good.

If these guys were smart they would have used this time to sprinkle in some starts for that AHL mongo as opposed to running Martin Jones into the dirt in 2024 and or playing the head case loser Russian who lost his smile.

No, but im not suggesting a rental.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

The 5v5 mediocrity before this year was a tell.

Not to everyone.

 

[WellPlayed]

That's so fucking dumb Willy.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Willy buddy, come on, get that on net.

 

[Artnes]

Thats a terrible shot from Willy. Poor decision

 

[mbow30]

Before that Auston let the puck go around the corner on the wall to the open guy at the hash marks. JT loses the race. Jeeze he bad right now.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

I mean, 40 shots and 4 goals.

21 shots and 6 goals against.

 

[mbow30]

I think that’s the first like I’ve ever given to a LoF post

 

[MindzEye]

Not to everyone.

Never going to convince someone who is cool with 75-80 points for 11 millie.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

I don't agree. They're both capable backups.

Samsonov has been unplayable this year.

Jones, last i checked is the same Martin Jones that has been around forever. Now it's possible he sold his soul to Satan for an improved skill set, or is a different Martin Jones all together, it's a common enough name.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Age.

Impossible. Not overnight, midseason, after he was flying.

 

[WellPlayed]

Nice. Tavares being old and tired helps there.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Impossible. Not overnight, midseason, after he was flying.

You have to have the biggest set of nuts ever or a massive head injury to use the word "flying" to describe John fucking Tavares.

I like Krok but why is he on the ice here

Wondering how Bertuzzi isn’t the net presence here
