--- Quote from: ArJunaZ on Saturday February 08, 2020, 10:04:07 PM Eastern ---Holtby had a chance on Flyers goals 1, 3, 4, & 5. 2, 6, & 7 were tough ones. He should have stopped some of those. There was really only one series where he made notably good saves.
Goal 4 was particularly bad because he actually stopped it and let it bounce through/under his arm.
The entire team played like shit and did hang him out to dry on a few goals. That doesn't mean 7 is acceptable.

Were 2, 6, and 7 the 2 one-timers (one cross crease and the other from behind the net) and the breakaway? Because if so I agree. There were a couple of deflection goals and a couple of wrist shot goals where I felt like a GOOD goalie could get some of them.
Again, LOSS isn't on Holts, but a good goalie doesn't give up a touchdown. A good goalie keeps the game within reach in case we want to mount a heroic comeback.
EDIT:
Looked at replays, I think 4, 5, 6 he should have gotten.
4 - The floater from the blue line that was deflected in. Holts was just leaky there.
5 - Turnover that led to a wrist shot from the Ovi spot. A good glove hand should have had that.
6 - The reason why I thought 6 he had a chance on was because the guy who tipped it WASN'T the guy on the far side of the net, he was the guy on the short side, and that tip was saveable with good positioning IMO.
The remaining four "tougher" goals were the 3 one-timers from close up and the breakaway goal. I still think a goalie who is zoned in could get at least one of those, but those are some goals that admittedly I wouldn't have expected Holts to get. The other three though? Could have had them. Could have been a 4-2 or 3-2 game.

4. Please burn those fucking throw back uniforms. All we ever did back when we wore those things was lose when it counted, often in demoralizing fashion. Every time we've worn them lately, we look like dogshit. Just retire them for good.

I hope you're wrong about the uniforms, because we have more games coming up where we'll wear them, including:
* February 10 vs. New York Islanders
* February 23 vs. Pittsburgh Penguins
* March 4 vs. Philadelphia Flyers
* March 26 vs. New York RangersI actually like the old uniform. It's my favorite.

Teams get plenty of open looks. You can't give the goalie a pass -every-fucking-time- they do. He gave up 7 goals. One of us dopes prolly gives up 10? Yay.. See how Monday goes.. They won't fire Reirden, but his coaching/motivational skills seem lacking. Closed door meeting.. lol. That always works out well.

Reirdon said the TEAM deserved that score
