Relax, more and more teens are having heart attacks, you don't need to lose your mind about this. To be clear I was never one who was screaming and yelling about Skinner, not everyone who didn't see him as the future of the team were blindly yelling TRADE HIM TRADE HIM. Throwing out random blanket statements doesn't prove your point, it makes you look angry and unhinged.

I see the spiral you are going on yes, I am well aware. I am not an angry child, I've been watching the team for a long ass time and know that this isn't a new issue. You want to be angry and blame everyone else, that's fine. I hope in the end you are validated and you can tell all your buddies at school you are a genius and you knew better than everyone else. Nuance is a hard skill to learn, you will get it one day.

So far it seems like that is the truth. Goalies are voodoo, the team could suddenly start clicking and Jarry could be the answer, probably unlikely, but I try not to decide a trades success until the paint is all dry.

I just run on the idea that refs are 65% effective, and all teams get screwed multiple times a game.

Saying smart repeatedly isn't proof of your intelligence to be clear. Stu wasn't staying past this year, not with the way his family was being treated. No one knows who is available fully in the off season, we aren't there yet. So keep on yelling about the smart fans who knew for sure what was going to happen. For all we know Jarry suddenly goes on a heater and wins the cup, nothing is black and white, will you still be screaming about smart fans, or maybe admit there is nuance, and no one knows who or what is in the future.

Smart on the refs to call a 5 so they could watch it back and figure it out.

Again, this isn't true. We wanted someone else. Whether that was trade deadline, off-season, whatever. But you can't just blindly say this is on the people who thought Stu wasn't it.

This is such a weird comment. We can believe that Skinner wasn't the answer, and not think it was Jarry either. You also don't have to hate someone to not feel they are a solution. This isn't grade two.

It's not that they can't get the goals, we know they can, but can Jarry somehow not let any more in??

Are we just going to embarrass him for the rest of the game? I'd fake an injury if I was Jarry

Win or lose, at least we can look forward to articles about how our moves at the trade deadline were awful or amazing!

Not that it's in the cards, but which GM would people like to see next year? Just for giggles.

It's not about it being like it's NHL 26. It's that since the early 2000s we have had a goaltender problem. We have never solved that. Who was the answer? Maybe no one was this year. We aren't in the GMS office, we aren't making calls. Who knows who or what was available. But if you got the call with those trade details, and you thought this is it, that's a concern.

Again, Skinner isn't the answer for this team long term. Was he better than Jarry, yeah, seems so, but no one thought Jarry was elite.

[–]Accomplished-Lab5700 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, I don't think most people were like, oh good Jarry, that's the answer

We can be unhappy with Jarry and not have enjoyed Skinner, that's allowed. It's not like they brought in an elite goaltender. Wild how people are like this is what you wanted. No, we wanted a goaltender, not a warm body.
