Is Thomas Greiss Toast?

If Greiss is toast then MBH must be toaster.

Why is the SS on Greiss's mask a different font than the GREI? I've been wondering this.

Looks like the GREI is in a script style, whereas the SS is in a Times New Roman style. Weird.

Should have went with Comic Sans.

In this mask, it definitely looks like there's different font used for the S's, or at least an interesting font style

At this point, unless you know you're going to get something more impactful than a late 2nd for him, or you know for sure he doesn't want to come back to Detroit after this season, I'd just start working on getting Bernier extended for 2 more years. Given what they pay Griess, probably going to take around $4M AAV.

Just seems a little odd that a German player would choose to highlight SS on all his masks... lol

What's with the friggin samsquanch on all his masks though?

Yep. I wonder if Greiss asks for a trade and/or to be exposed to SEA?

I don't know that he'd ask for a trade, but he wouldn't have much of a choice with Seattle and I doubt they'd be interested anyway.

Last game was a good example.

There was one play in the 1st and Greiss chooses not to leave the crease and they score.

Late in 1st or early in 2nd, vasilievsky goes far out and plays the puck like a defenceman, Redmond laughs and comments.

Danials had to shut up and let Mickey talk. Mickey is fun to listen to even when he says something wrong.

Another strong game by Bernier. He should bring us 1st.

In this picture the s's look taken from the traditional sieg/sig rune from one of about 6 norse runic alphabet's which obviously comes from the saxon half of the anglo/saxon component of english.

In all fairness to Greiss, going from NYI to here (polar opposites), he may just need more time to adjust. Bernier was up & down til midway through last season (1.5 yr into the contract) & then he was lights out most of the time afterwards. Protecting Greiss, then resigning Bernier to 1-2yr deal after ED looks like the best route, as of now.

Calvin friggin Pickard getting back to back starts over Greiss. Add Greiss to the other failed Yzerman acquisitions so far: Greiss, Filpulla, and Perlini. Luckily Erne has somewhat redeemed himself, Namestikov has been pretty shit as well but at least they're all only 2 years max.

That's a pretty hot take.

Yzerman is taking low risk gambles on all these players in hopes some of them work out. Most of them aren't going to turn out to be Fabbri.

Yea because Alec Regula is tearing it up in the A (3 points in 11 games) lol and Flip signed a 2 year deal, what a bum

Dude relax. These guys were low risk gambles. It's not like we were expecting Greiss to win a vezina, Perlini to score 30 and Fillpulla to rediscover the magic he had on Zetterberg's wing. You're talking about Yzerman's acquisitions like he got Okposo, Skinner and Hall.

The wings scored 6 goals in 2 games against Columbus when Greiss wasn't playing. But when Greiss plays Detroit's offense dries up. I don't know why, but the team just forgets to score goals when he plays.

Do we have a breakdown of what our team's GF stats are depending on which goalie is in net for us? My guess is that the team probably has less than 2.00 GF when Greiss plays.

No clue what more you want from a 1 million and 2 million dollar player when it comes to Erne and Namestnikov considering Helm has 3 points this season and makes more than both of them combined, to Erne and Namestnikov's 20 points combined. Kind of a joke post tbh, these two are hardly part over the primary problem, when we have guys like Helm, Nielsen, and DeKeyser locked up for a lot of money and have done much less. Low risk with this kind of production isn't a failure, get a grip.

Except, yeah Greiss has been bad, that's the only part of your post that makes sense.

100% agree, but also, even the word "gamble" is not accurate. These guys were all filler that we brought it to buy time while our young guys developed. It really doesnt matter.

 

[Ghost of Ethan Hunt]

He's better than his W-L record suggests. 6gp @ .935 Sv% or better.
+ 4gp @ .900 or better (3/4 @ .909%)

a few stinkers in there really skew the story. Doesn't include 4-1-21 stats.

This thread aged well eh?

I mean he did look pretty damn bad for a spell.

And that's why he's a serial journeyman and not starting somewhere.

Still kinda weirded out by his, uhh, fun choice of fonts.

 

[MBH]

This thread aged well eh?

Greiss stepped up his game.
And it was a legit QUESTION.

His save percentage was .883 the day this question was asked. He was 1-11-4.

Since then, he went 7-4-4 .936.

And showed, that he's not toast yet.

Good for him and good for us.
