I mean he’s an NHL rookie with a below average save percentage AFTER those big games. Being the second coming of Rittich makes him journeyman backup calibre, capable of a big game every once in a while but overall average in a good year. He’s not that great, and he’s definitely not starter calibre. He might not be as bad as Montembeault but he’s also not a top 40 goalie in the NHL.


I mean remember hes on the Coyotes. They give him 0 help out there and its hard to say rn just how good Vajmelka is

As I think on a team who would give him even a tad more help his numbers would be so much better. Like no he probs would be turning more heads if he played on another team

Need to check but I think he rn faces the most high danger shots in the NHL yet still has above a 0.900sv

Thats pretty impressive considering the Coyotes rn got no defense

The one game I can watch we play like absolute sh*t.

I genuinely don’t know why I cheer for this poverty franchise.


Hey we had 51 shots apparently, I think they did command the game but had problems with scoring.

If I’m being honest I think this gets said too much about goalies. GSAA is a pretty decent way to level the playing field, and he has a -1.8 GSAA rn, even after his massive night against Toronto (I think I heard he had a +4.98 GSAX in that game, I think that’s slightly different but still, shoulda been a pretty similar boost. If I’m reading Natural Stat Trick right he should have a -1.09 GSAX if that’s just xGA-GA, so he woulda been at -6.07 GSAX prior to that game). So he’s been below average for an NHL goalie this year, significantly so prior to that one excellent game. Certainly not the problem in Arizona (probably a top 3 player on the team, although that says more about the team than him), but he’s not exactly helping (most nights, obviously he did against Toronto and 1 or 2 other times lol), and is unlikely to be a starter or even a tandem guy on a playoff team (could probably be a backup to a legitimate starter like Vasilevskiy or Hellebuyck).

Quoting: MatthewsFan


Yeah my favourite team won? They’re bad rn and don’t have expectations lol. The Leafs expect to be a contender, which means they’re the favourite every night and can’t afford to drop points to the team in last. If you mean the Flames, then first of all the Sens are only 5th worst in points percentage (Habs were last place tonight, Yotes were last place last week), and second of all it’s not even as bad, because the Flames are only really expected to be a middle of the pack team (currently 14th overall in points percentage, 2nd in their division which is about where they would have hoped to be), which means they might lose to some slightly worse teams and knock off some slightly better teams (like Florida tonight). They’re honestly pretty similar to the Leafs in that they are very top heavy, although the top talent isn’t as good obviously. Success for the Flames prior to the season was 3rd in the division, now looking like 2nd in the division and winning a round. Success for Toronto should be getting home ice in the first round and winning at least one series, although a top 5 team’s goal should really be to win two minimum, and if you can’t find a way to slip a couple goals past Vejmelka, how are you gonna slip a couple past Vasilevskiy? Like if you have 6 expected goals in a game, and finishers with the talent of Matthews, Tavares, and Nylander leading the way, you’ve gotta find a way to pot at least 3 of them to grab the two points there. The Coyotes should be getting their underdog wins against bottom 10 teams to reach their NHL mandated 15 wins because we love parity.

6 defensemen are overrated.

Teams should run 14 forwards and 4 defensemen.

I'm going to blame that on playing with Sergachev too much. Bad habits must be wearing off onto Foote.

We’re losing 2-0 against Montreal and an AHL goalie.

I’m 2 seconds away from yeeting my jersey in my furnace.


Hey, we’ve been underperforming most of the year, we finally looked at least closer to the team we’re on paper and Monty’s actually a decent backup, he stood on his head last night

Tampa has 4 defensemen tonight.

Hedman - Foote
McDonagh - Sergachev

Hedman and McDonagh about to log 35 minutes.


Lmao, how many skaters are you icing?

I still think specialists are good, I want to see Chara take a slapshot even though he sucks now. I’d love to see Zegras vs. Patty Kane in the skills competition even though neither really deserve to be full all stars. Celebs being assistant coaches is a good idea, the players don’t really need proper coaching in an all star game and it’ll be cool to see them there, maybe mic’d up.


Apparently Zegras will be at the skills comp even though he didn’t make the game

Pretty much every single goal was because of lazy back-checking, almost all were odd man ruches.

We were 16. 22 Player roster with 7 defensemen (naturally no cap space), but Rutta, Cernak, and Bogo were all out.
