He's been very good this season at what he's been asked to do bar maybe the last game. The timing of this post is a bit strange.
Forsberg has had several chances prior to coming here and he was here at a time that we also had Brossoit as the backup. He's done well enough for himself in Ottawa but saying he was a starting goalie at that point is totally inaccurate. He got to that point by playing starters minutes in Ottawa which he never would've got here.
Nobody said he was a starting goalie at that point.
I said starting goalie (Forsberg/Ottawa). Which obviously is after the jets put him on waivers and claimed off waivers by Ottawa!
So your statement “totally inaccurate” has more to do your reading comprehension and not an inaccurate statement by me.
I also said the Jets never gave him a chance!
He was the same cost as Commrie $700 k that year…… and he had way more experience and success in the league than Commrie @ that time.
He played 35 games with Chicago in one year and had played close to 50 NHL games as Comrie had played less than 10.
Helly has played the most games in the league this year. If we had a more capable back up….. like Forsberg pushing him for starts we probably be in a playoff position.
The Jets would have been better off if they had not reclaimed Comrie in 2021!
