we would be better off allowing 30 contested shots
I agree. We need to allow 0 shots. Otherwise it’s unfair
Compare this:
...to this...
in order to see why this rebuttal doesn't work.
The thing is, you look at the other end and Demko, I think we'd all agree, is playing terrifically well. And yet he's allowed 3 goals. How do those three goals happen if he's playing well? It's the same exact thing.
Demko's made about 18 more saves. That could be why.The thing is, you look at the other end and Demko, I think we'd all agree, is playing terrifically well. And yet he's allowed 3 goals. How do those three goals happen if he's playing well? It's the same exact thing.
Nope. Not a realistic option anyways.Is Markstrom a buyout option in the summer?
Exactly. Now let's say we take away all the extra shots. Does that mean that those goals that went in are more saveable? They go from being acceptable goals to bad goals?He’s faced far more shots and some incredible chances too. He’s been the difference maker. Markstrom hasn’t

We have 70 shot attempts. Is our game plan just shoot?
YesWe have 70 shot attempts. Is our game plan just shoot?
Yes
In fact, didn't Sutter just say something along those lines "We don't have the talent, so we need shot volume"
This game that has not even been slightly the case. We are getting 10 bell chances again and again tonight.Yes, that's why we fail since most of those shots are just crap perimeter shots rather than quality shots.

Take away the extra shots lol.
Besides the flawed logic with that, I never said markstrom’s goals were bad. I said the bar is too low for a goalie that should be a difference maker. He’s never making the “impossible” save, and he’s letting in too many savable pucks too.
Which is stupid.
Mangiapane, Lindholm, Toffoli are all capable of 40 goals, Kadri and Huberdeau should be good for 30 each, Backs, Dube, Coleman good for 20.
Team has goal scorers, but only one of them is actually living up to the potential (Toffoli), to me that says the coaching or system they're using is flawed.
