--- Quote from: richkrt99 on Friday January 03, 2020, 04:13:16 PM Eastern ---So despite what my recent posts (including this one) may appear....I am NOT really down on Holtz or a Holtby hater, but....
Why the heck is Holtby an all-star this year?
I assume because he is popular and that he has a lot of wins, but otherwise, his numbers are pretty poor.
So I looked it up (ahem....boredom thread calling)
Actually his wins (17) only puts him in the top 8, and this is by far his best goalie stat this year.
His GAA (2.99) ranks him at 41 (out of 78)
His save % (.902) puts him at 48
He has 14 Quality Starts which puts him in the top 17 (but 14QS in 29 games is less than half....meaning half the games he started were NOT quality starts
In fact nearly all his stats (including some other goalie stats) are below average. Now you can argue...Oh he's on a team with poor D and has to work harder for it....but one could also argue that he is on the best team in the league, so his numbers should be better.
Anyway, not picking on him, but He aint no All-Star this so far this season. Maybe he will run into Mitch Korn at the circus and pick up some pointers to carry him through the rest of the season.
and one more time....
THE THREAD MAN!

Well we all know the All Star selection sucks. Hell anyone voting objectivity would vote for Wilson, but the other teams fans hate him (which is awesome btw)
Still, Holtby makes saves 98% of goalies wouldn’t. But I do think he’s pisses off at The Caps for the other contracts they signed and how they’ve counted on him carrying this team on shoulders. If Varly or Nuvy, or damn near ANY other goalle played for us, it’s hard to think we’d of won a Cup.
I bet he and his agent have been saying on a team defensive based team, hed have far more success so he WANTS the free agent market.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see him for the Isles or even Wings next year
