Biggest Drop Off From Starter to Back Up in the League?

[joe dirte]

The question is which duo has the biggest gap between them. So it's not Bernier. Varlamov is barely above him this season.

oh I see.

well in that case the current leaf duo fits. lol. andersen to mcbackup.

Pittsburgh when what's his name was in net as backup. let in like 20 goals and got pulled in his only 3 starts.

I just read the Blues dressed a vending machine worker as backup due to emergency.
So probably him.

 

[Scorcho]

Murray and Jarry

Murray and Jarry

Sarcasm right?

 

[PunkRockLocke]

Saros has been bad for Nashville. Overhyped.

I think it's NYR or TB

 

[Scorcho]

Sarcasm right?

i mean, the drop off from jarry to desmith is about just as big, so we can go with them too

Probably Niemi to Price:

Antti Niemi in Montreal (excluding the first game where he entered for the last ~10 minutes):
2 GP
2.00 GAA
.932 (55 / 59 saves)

Carey Price:
19 GP
3.16 GAA
.899

I want to say Pavs -- but his career has been one long, gentle drop-off from very modest beginnings.

He went from the top of the dumpster to the bottom of it

 

[CycloneSweep]

I was going to say Talbot to Brossoit but this year they are just bad to awful so.....

 

[Passchendaele]

Andrew Raycroft

From a Vezina-level candidate to a bottom-tier backup in all of one year.

 

[ChiefWiggum]

Id go Niemi or Pavelec

 

[Harvey Birdman]

It was Murray to Niemi...

Luckily that was dealt with!

 

[Hockeyisl1fe]

Niemi has actually been decent in Montreal.

 

[ElysiumAB]

Devan Dubnyk to Laurent Brossoit

 

[Cup or Bust]

I have to agree with Talbot and Brossoit. It is truly a fluke any game that Brossoit does not get lit up. The Oilers management looking at Brossoit reminds me of the time Homer has his pet Lobster Pinchy and when he looked at Pinchy he saw a cute lovable face and then he pointed it at Marge she saw an ugly dirty Lobster. Oilers management sees Pinchy and us poor fans see the ugly Lobster.

Why are people saying Price to Niemi? It should be the other way around if we are taking this season into account.
