Heh it was a joke.

Instead of talking only about his play when he plays bad and his contract when he plays well, we should flip it.

I think -- as we noted around here -- that the whole oh my god 6 million thing was basically invented by the media. that's who was talking about it during the hot streak. Dubas was not even thinking about signing Campbell to a new deal 2 months into the season.
 
All the press today is gushing over Demko. Sure, 50 saves is great, and while we were buzzing the final two periods, I genuinely can’t remember him making many or any spectacular saves. Feel like yesterday was a tale of no finish and bad luck, and missing the net way too much.

I agree that Thatcher Demko is so good, 51 saves is just ho-hum.

That's the thing about goaltending though, when you're dialed in, you're not flailing around making highlight reels saves. You're just playing your angles, reading the play and being in position, controlling rebounds, etc. Letting pucks hit you, as the talking heads like to say.

Demko was fucking fantastic last night. You continue to call games like this a lack of finish, but when a goalie is dialed in, there's nothing to shoot at.
 
mrazek was the anti demko - all three goals were off rebounds where he put himself in a position to not be able to stop the puck. How many empty jet tap in rebounds did the leafs have last night?
 
Leafs don’t depend on rebounds generally. They’re about playmaking and finishing. They had the possession and the playmaking last night, but no results. If Demko was awesome, I’d have noticed it. He was good.

They had a bunch but they mostly missed.
