Quoting: BestGMBenning
Yet again ignoring a fact I keep on having to repeat. He easily costed the Pens some goals and I think he even knows that. Did I even say he’s giving up that many a game? Yes he was a reason why they got to the playoffs but also a reason why they lost in the playoffs. This is really the only time I’ll look at the situation for the Pens where all factors of their game was working but Jarry wasn’t able to perform as a good goalie. He was very shaky. Why do you think he allowed 3 goals a game?
All factors of their game were working? what games were you watching. PP stunk, top lines struggled to produce....
If the offense could have scored to being with they win the 2-3 a 2OT loss game. But they couldn't muster a goal. Then you are looking at 3-2 the other way and they probably win that series.
You also have the 1st game of the series they lost 4-3 in OT. Again they couldn't score. It's not like they didn't have every opportunity to win that game. They did.
Not to mention how many of those goals are on the team. The 4-1 game is two PP goals for NY. Something the penguins couldn't do. You take those out it's a 2-1 game.
Those are directly related to the team in front of him. Who lost that game???????
You act like he's the one who cost the team. He kept the team in it most of the series, when he wasn't being thrown under the bus.
You have to actually win those games and score, not put your goalie in a bad spot and capitalize when you get a chance. These are all things they struggled at. Very Shaky, there is no real evidence of that. All the evidence shows otherwise, he got the team to OT twice they lost both. The only real blow out, the forwards were no help as they couldn't score and put in on the PK for 2 goals.
The only "bad" game you can say he had was the last one. But the forwards didn't get their job done the whole series.
You look at this team this year, the goalie isn't the problem. He's playing fine. But the same issues from last year are still there. PP struggling.
Just wait, the playoffs will begin, the roughing calls right and left, slashing, beating on guys, because teams have no worry of them scoring on the PP. It will disrupt the team yet again....and out they go. Not from the goalie, but from a team that's not able to score when they need to.
