[LightningStrikes]

Dude should be absolutely furious. He’s been terrific in his two games with the Lightning so far but both time the team decided to take the game off.

Looking back at my post from 2019, how things have changed...

 

[RussianGuyovich]

he's bad, OP

 

[DFC]

Yeah, he looks cooked.

 

[Sky04]

Nothing you can do about it now except ride it out.

He looked fine last year. How does he fall off that quickly? Conspiracy rift between him and the players?

Some guys just fall off a cliff rapidly with age.

I say play Vasi in the Carolina b2b next week and then split against Detroit since it's at the end of the season. Depending on where we are in the standings the 1-2 games could go to Mac as well. Sit everyone important out of that game.

Roloson, Budaj, Nabokov, McE... at a certain age they seem to just not have it anymore.

Yea just sucks we were stuck with him with that 2 year deal and we probably don't make that deal if we knew how bad he would be year 2.

He has his own thread? Why????? Why???????

Is there a roster player who hasn’t one?

Remember Kolzig? We signed him just as he fell of a cliff.

Older goalie who had to go almost a year without a real game. With a guy that age, rust isn't something you just shake off.

That vehicle is more servicable.

Never forget when he was on Toronto he was the main reason we missed the playoffs in 2016-17 with his save on Crosby with about 45 seconds left in the game

"First, for me, it'll just be helping out with my kids' hockey teams," he said. "I want to make sure that I'm there. They are in grade 7 and 5. … As far as my involvement with professional hockey, down the road I think it's something I'd like to get back into but the coaches and managers put in an incredible amount of time, and right now, it's time for me to spend some time with my family and make sure I'm investing in their lives. I'm going to stay involved in hockey in some capacity, I'm just not sure what yet."
