GDT: Game 40 vs TML 4pm

[fasterthanlight]

Jones with 11gp and 9gs, has a .932sv%. and 2.08gaa

Maybe he is worth the 2.9M we are paying him this year

Last year Jones started the first 15 games with a .913 save percentage, had four bad games, and then a stretch of 11 games with a .913. He finished the season at .886.

He does this every year - has a streak, maybe even two, where he puts up good numbers and generally looks like an above-average NHL goaltender, and every year at the end of the season he's among the worst NHL goaltenders that year.

He's not suddenly returned to form - the crappy goaltender he's been for years now is his form. He's getting bouyed by puck luck and good defense, but he remains the same minor league quality goaltender he has been for six years now, one that I am grateful I don't have to watch on a weekly basis.

Martin Jones is not this evil person you portray him to be.
Martin Jones has never been evil.
Martin Jones cannot even begin to fathom the meaning of evil.
Martin Jones is the man. Go Martin Jones!!!

It might be that the Sharks defense led by Erik Karlsson was so bad that exposed the flaws of some decent but not great goaltenders. Not only Jones, but also Hill and Kahkonen look much better without Karlsson playing 20+ minutes in front of them.

This is an absolutely insane take. Do you really think any of the defensemen on our blue-line this year are better than Karlsson defensively? I’m not trying to claim that Karlsson is some shutdown defenseman but he’s an NHL-quality defender. No one on the current Sharks defense can claim the same.

Jones was just as bad in front of Proverov and Sanheim two years ago and in front of Dunn and Larsson last year.

It really, honestly, totally is that Martin Jones is not an NHL-quality goaltender. He hasn't been for years. He is not now. He is not going to be in the future.

Martin Jones, the man of extremes! You’ve got to love him…or hate him…there’s no in between with the Joner!

Do we now start the winning streak that keeps us out of contention for a meaningful pick?!
