Every goalie who got a vote for the Vezina last year has a save% of 900 or lower right now except for Mike Smith.

It's a long season, my friend. I remember every October, people came out of the woodworks to say Luongo lost it, he sucked, etc. Then he'd turn it on. I think part of that is some guys are slow starters, league scoring is usually up at the start of the season when new defensive strategies are being figured out, and maybe mossey can attest to this, but new equipment being broken in. There are some big-ass rebounds to start the year.

Its actually more about establishing timing than new gear per se. You'd be surprised how a split second difference can dramatically alter the trajectory of a rebound. New gear will be a very slight difference, but readjusting to game speed and getting that leg in position a split second faster is usually more why you would see rebounds coming out more.
He was definitely the player we dumped this offseason who was most likely to revert to his former self on another team. The Holtby early success I could not have predicted however.

I wouldn't mind seeing Trent Frederic in blue and green.
Holtby getting the #1 job in Dallas was my largest surprise this season. My second largest was him playing fantastic so far.
Coaching matters a lot. Mike Sullivan can get the most out of a limited lineup. Coach Q, (can get something out of players that you don't expect something from), though as a person with that whole Chicago investigation I wouldn't want around, but he can coach.
Who has Green coached up?

Sam Bennett's career has taken off since getting out of Calgary. He's now in a situation that works better for him. Calgary got 2 second round picks out of it, so still came out of it ok. Doubt Bennett was going to do that under Sutter.
At the end of the day, what those 2 players are doing now are not what they were doing for their former clubs. Calgary had multiple HC and still not much out of Bennett.

Mitch Marner...6 GP...1 assist.....$11M a season....Thats a big yikes.
Fortunately he turns it up a notch in the playoffs though.
A lot of angst in Toronto these days.

Time to Retool... again...
Nice to see Gadjovich get an assist in his first game with the Sharks today.

Wish we kept Gad instead of Chiasson as he is basically the same type of player but younger.

Playing defense is work
Working out is work
When you are employed by a good employer, you put in the work.
When you aren't... you don't.

I don't think I've ever seen an acquisition look as immediately terrible as Seth Jones.
