Players have ups and downs - the team is playing like ass in front of him. Fix the rest of the team and he is golden. It's not on him. It's on the defense... and overall team defense.

Yep! This is the core and catalyst of the issue.
For this team to win regularly, Holts has to be the best goalie on the planet , which clearly teams and fans alike are used to being while playing 95% of the games.
All of this Holtbly bashing crap is just using him as a scapegoat aa few will acknowledge that this team is made for video games.

Nobody is "bashing" Holtby luv'.
We are acknowledging that there is something wrong with him this season. We are speculating why? No more, no less.
Do you remember when we got our "Holtbeast" dolls at that game? Ha ha! I was jumping around like a three year old! :wackysmile:
I adore the guy. I remember somebody posting his very early on "Holtbyisms" and I kind of fell a little bit in love with him then.
When Mitch Korn came in, he turned Holts in to a superstar, maybe a little before his time....... Goalies are, reputed to improve with age and Holltby is still prettyyoung in comparison.
I think Grubs, Guubauer is doing an amazing job right now, but I don't think anybody disputes that Holtby is our No. 1.

Looks like Gruby is #1 now Lil.
I love me some Holtbeast but he's too hot and cold right now.

I don't like our goaltending situation right now. Holtby is clearly the better goalie but Grubauer is without a doubt playing better right now. Even though Grubauer is playing well I'm concerned if we start him in the playoffs because he is a but weak technically.
No clue who we should start. If it was my decision I'd go with Holtby but that could be totally out to lunch.
Mickstix:
Either goalie loses 1 game and it'll be a switch to the other.. That's just how it's shaping up. Unless Gruby starts to falter I imagine he'll be the starter in game #1..
