Thatcher Demko is not an NHL caliber goaltender. Certainly not yet and that team should have major concerns on him for the long term.

Ottawa has a 3-1 lead at the second intermission. Stützle with a goal and two assists.

This road trip for Vancouver is going great so far. They have allowed 18 goals in almost four games.

When Spezza can score a hat trick and do this to an "NHL" defenseman you can't blame it all on Demko.

I’m not looking at the goals. I’m looking at the play reading ability, positioning, ability to battle through screens and decision making.

At best, all of those things are at a mediocre level.

I think people tend to look at his athleticism. Which is off the charts good.

But at least you're here.

Barca flapped his gums for weeks before January only to disappear at the drop of the puck on opening night.

Simmonds probably shouldn't be throwing that hit in a blowout game with a few minutes left. Still love him though.

You should try drinking heavily. It takes the edge off of a bad season!



Plus, if you stick around here, every time there's a couple Flames losses in a row you can fan those flames and watch a bunch of fair weather fans fall off the bandwagon and then try and scramble back on when they win... a... game... Oh... oh god... oh no.... I've.... I've become part of the Petty Schadenfreude Machine.

I mean I have been fairly quiet around here lately. I figured the team would take a step back after losing key pieces in off-season. Thought maybe if we can stay healthy and things go our way we can maybe compete for the final spot. Now after seeing us play vs all teams not named Ottawa I am embarrassed. This team is worse then i thought. Defense is a complete disaster. Top guys are struggling, you can see it in their body language. Demko has been fine I feel, he's getting hung out to dry. Changes need to be made soon.

Quinn Hughes has been on the ice for 23 EVS goals against. That is almost unbelievable.

Kane has a four point game as he assisted on Debrincat's empty net goal. Chicago wins 6-4.

^To top that, Jonathan Huberdeau had a 5 point game tonight for the Panthers. Unfortunately, they are still not great at defending late in games and gave up a 2 goal lead with less than 2 minutes to play, eventually losing in OT. Sigh.

Yeah that was a bummer for the Panthers. Still a point so the streak is still alive. But it’s gotta be killing the 7 Panthers fans that their 10 million dollar goalie can’t bail them out once in awhile.

"Febreuary."

So, is this going to be a thing, now? It is the second time I have seen it in a few days.
