Additions, Subtractions, new captain, same team. If we are going to win the cup, it's gotta be soon. This year or next year, in my opinion. Who's excited for the new season to start?!
Love the team and will watch every possible game I can, but being honest, I'm not that "pumped" for this season. If the young guys step up, maybe I'll be surprised, but I just don't see us having enough firepower on offense to make a legit cup run. And our goaltending is still a bit suspect (at least to my untrained eyes). Jones is gonna have to stand on his head all year. Hope I'm wrong... would love nothing better than to eat crow!!
Time for that was last year before the playoffs. or even over the summer. They probably could’ve unloaded Jones on some team now they are stuck with him, unless they give up a prospect and a #1 overall. The options aren’t great either, unless wilson could bamboozle bergivin in Montreal for Carey priceNow might be the time to start shopping around for a goalie.

How long ago was they Stanley cup final? Not that same goalie anymore, his mechanics are trash and now his mental game is shot. Routinely giving up a goal on the first shot is not goodIt's hard to deal away a goalie that's been good enough to lead the franchise to their first Western Conference title and has been a big part in the team having 45 or 46 wins in each of the last 4 years.

This is where metrics fail, it can’t take into account for his piss poor mechanics and horrible technique. I’ve said since his first season with the sharks his lateral mechanics were trash and his 7 hole/blocker were very weak. Teams figured it out, combined with his over aggressive play on angles was a recipe for disaster.Last year certainly was downhill for him but his stats and numbers were consistent his first 3 years with us. There was no reason to think he would've regressed to badly. Dell couldn't do much better either. We definitely need to address it now.

if he were on a super tight defensive team, like a trapping team he’d probably be fine, but those types of teams don’t win Stanley cup
If jones’ Technique and mechanics weren’t hammered dog shit I’d be inclined to agree with you. But that’s not the case, both price and Lundy are technically superior goalies who rarely give up soft goals, unlike jones which numbers support gives up softies every gameEvery goalie has their weak spots a weakness. You have to take into account QS, SV%, Avg goals allowed per game. Can't look at wins and saves and those very weighted statistics. I'm sticking with my opinion that Lundqvist is NOT the answer. But the issue lies in that there really is no answer out there that I can see.

But do they go back to Jones or stay with DellThat Marleau signing sure did pay off quickly haha
But do they go back to Jones or stay with Dell
It happened but it looks like Markeau coming back is making a difference lol 2-0 lead seems like a different team nowI stay with Dell right now. See if we can gain some momentum and get something cooking. Knowing San Jose though, Jones is in next game.
Never know which Jones is gonna show up, lol.
