So DiPietro finished his season - 7 shutouts in 56 games - GAA 2.79 - S% 0.910
Played in all but 12 games for the .500 Spitfires. For comparison, the other Windsor goalies at S% of .894 and .843 (and no shutouts).
DiPietro was in tough the last bit of the season due to the GM selling for futures. Faired well, considering the team in front of him
I had a hunch something was going on - I don't have time to follow and hunt down hockey news, but the team dropped about 30 points from last year - and I like to look at save percentage from goalies on the same team, as a big difference can usually indicate relative talent.
Still wondering what the timeline is for our goalie pipeline. I don't see any reason to rush a kid just to be abandoned by our current crop on D.
Yeah,I don’t know if you even want Demko up here next year. This team is going to end up almost 40 points out of the playoffs this year. So even with a solid improvement which may or may not happen, they will still miss by 20 or 25 points. Let Markstrom and Nilsson get lit up
“I don’t care what you and some other poster were talking about”
The only reason I would want Demko up here is the stop the first fucking shot of the game. It would be nice not to start every damn game behind the eight ball.
If we had a true starter, I'd be less hesitant to bring him up, but whole back end *as it looks now* is a clusterfuck of placeholders. Of course, the kid could have the character to handle it, but I'd rather not throw our goalie-of-the-future under the the bus if we don't need to.

If it's off the wall, it's gonna be in Vancouver,
Two goalies. Look the same. Move the same, and have the identical weakness with the glove hand?
They stick it out but the puck don't go in it.

Hey, let's not exaggerate... it probably only seemed to have happened about 20 times.
But, in reality, I would like to see the stat on how many goals went in on the first 4 shots...
The 'Chain of Command' is the chain I am going to beat you with until you understand I am in charge.
Maybe if the goalie can save the first shot of the game, the skaters can return the favour and score more than one goal a game. I’m no fan of the current goalies but the entire roster is an abortion

Not the entire roster, but I see your point (to a point). As for the current scoring woes - yeah, not much needs to be said about that.
For over the course of the season, even when we were playing better, the team was almost playing catch-up thanks to a soft goal against to start the game.
Our record (last year, but similar roster) when we score first: .586 - and when the other team scored first: .245(only 4 teams were worse).
So with our mix of vets and kids, it seems those first goals cut our chance of winning in half.
Last year I bought into your 'give Markstrom the reins" theory and although it's been great for our draft position, it really hasn't worked out. Not sure what we'll see next year.

Yeah they threw him into the deep end and he isn’t a good swimmer. That said I’m not sure an ancient Miller was ever the correct answer for this team. It was a garbage fire with him the last two seasons as well. Maybe a few more dirty diapers on the fire with Jacob but I don’t think Pekka Rinne or a prime Carey Price gets this klown outfit within fifteen points of playoffs

True - and that's why I'm not really sweating it. This team needs one more top pick and then with some of prospects turning into rookies and into legit players, we should turn the corner in 1 to 2 years™.
I'm hoping that we're seeing rock bottom right now with this stretch of games.

But once the draft hits (or July at the latest) that timeline resets to 0 to 1 year™. Even with the equivocal sorta kinda goodish prediction, not sure that is enough time. Now if we were to draft a a certain Swedish D-man this draft.....
Invincibility lies in oneself.
Vincibility lies in the enemy.
Växjö beat Brynäs 4-0 in game three to get a 2-1 lead in the quarter final.
Elias assisted on the third goal, which means he has finally earned a playoff point.
Let's hope that the proverbial ketchup bottle is now past the critical point, and that things will flow rapidly from now on.
Jonathan Dahlén's team, Timrå, will play their first relegation game on Sunday.
If they can beat Karlskrona in a best out of seven series they will be in the SHL next season.
