Player Discussion John Gibson

Someone on the sharks boards said
"Gibson is top goalie in the league and the gap between him and 2nd is bigger than McDavid and 2nd best skater"

pretty strong compliment, id disagree... as I feel like there are 3 goalies up with Gibson(with a couple that can be on a hot season).

It's absurd that Gibson hasn't received the recognition he deserves just yet. He practically carried us to the playoffs in 17-18, finished near the top of the league in just about every goaltending stat, and was rewarded with a 7th place finish in that year's Vezina voting. And last year, if it weren't for him, we'd have certainly had a top-5 pick. Hopefully we'll be able to give him the all-important wins this year, so the media and the voting committees will finally come around.

 

[Ducks in a row]

He is easily our MVP hasn't allowed more then 1 goal in a game so far keep up the good work.

 

[bsu]

He was lucky as all hell today.

 

[ducks8]

He was lucky as all hell today.

Still the best player on the ice for the ducks through the first 3 games

 

[KaseMeOutside]

It was a complete disgrace where he placed for the Vezina last year, he's the best goalie in the league and I would take him over anyone without hesitation

Most goalies feel post shots are just a positional save, its all they gave them

Followed by Derek Grant Imo

he has definitely been playing great and provides some great depth

And EVEN BETTER value when you consider age and contract compared to some of the other elite guys.

Last years results honestly proved alot of the voters just don't watch alot of the games. I don't know how you could watch every goalie last year and rank even 2 guys ahead of him much less 6 or whatever it was

I think if you take out that 1 week where we were getting shelled and RC left Gibson in vs Winnipeg... he prob wins it.

Which is worrying because the Vezina is voted on by the GMs not the media! Either the GMs are too caught up on the wins and sv% statistics or they don’t watch the games, which is worse?

That chart proves that someone overpaid for Bob, Binnington is for real, Martin Jones is an AHL goalie, that SJ should start Dell more often, that they never should have lost Greiss.

That chart is based on 3-4 games. I don’t think it proves any of that yet.

Oh i thought it was using Data carrying over from last season.

 

[Frosted Tips]

Though Gibson absolutely owned that chart last season.

 

[Anaheim4ever]

Though Gibson absolutely owned that chart last season.

Gibson, Greiss & Jones look like they are following last years chart. Greiss is underrated too.
If SJ still had Greiss they would be alot better.

 

[MoMM]

Perhaps he can retire as the best goalie ever to do not win the Vezina, this will be his accomplishment.

Pretty sure hell win a vezina... maybe multiple. If he stays healthy he could retire a top 10 goalie of all time

That's a nice compliment but to be fair, SJ fans aren't exactly experts on high quality goaltending.

Vasilevskiy gave up 6 goals on 24 shots last night and is sitting on a 0.899 SV%, but he has 4 wins. Shaping up to be another Vezina caliber season for "The Best Goalie in the League." What a joke.

In fairness last year he was the best goalie in the league. Him and Gibson are very close in terms of ability I think they’re a clear 1 and 2 league wide.
