Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 So as we know, VV has enjoyed two killer Vezina-worthy runs this season where in each stretch he played in 15 games, went 12-1-1, and put up a .932 save% in the first run and a .927 save% in the second. His first two games after the first stretch ended: 13 saves on 17 shots 19 saves on 23 shots And the two games following the second stretch: 13 saves on 17 shots 19 saves on 22 shots Weird… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil Dan 56 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I’m guessing no Timo just yet, good a time as any to get a look at Clarke. 20 goals and 24 assists for 44 points in 51 games to lead Utica 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil Dan 56 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Pretty mature decision for the kid. Also makes me wonder what their plan was if he had to ask to go to Utica 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then not wanting to tinker much with the lineup was also another issue. Sprinkle in some “will he really benefit from it?” In there and you’ve got a recipe for a wasted season of development.

Plan A was “OK, let’s award the kid a spot out of preseason and see how it goes.” Plan B was “OK, kid really isn’t ready yet to play regularly, let’s work with him as much as possible in practice and see if we can at least get him to the point where he looks a little more comfortable out there.” There clearly was no Plan C. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RizzMB30 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 I'm excited to see Clarke. He's going to get an opportunity with Zetts gone I would imagine. Time to make the most of it Clarkey. Also very much agree on Holtz and honestly a very mature move of him. He's said as much to the media that he wants to be playing in games. At least he can go and get a good 22-25 games in and feel good about it and go into the summer knowing what they want out of him. It's weird that Boquist is still here, but Z and Holtz are now off the roster. I guess this kind of means that Boquist won the position battle for that spot?

Also makes me wonder what their plan was if he had to ask to go to Utica I honestly respect the hell out of this. Takes a lot of balls for the kid to call a meeting with both GMs to express his opinions. Also FWIW, he's taking a pay cut to go pay in Utica isn't he? If so, even more respect. Really hope this kid keeps developing and is part of the team moving forward. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be rooting for him. Realistically, i would like to see him take Sharangovich's spot next year on the third line and be able to move up to top 6 as needed when injuries occur. (For clarification, I'm assuming we won't be able to afford Shar next year) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course if he forces the issue in-season, great. Just not going to ask that of him. Edited March 1 by Colorado Rockies 1976 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just asked for a chance to play in the minors if he can’t play here. What he lacks in skating he definitely has in character. I hope he makes it next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he worked really hard on that skating this past offseason, and I’m sure he’ll continue to do so. So aside from good character, the work ethic is clearly there, too. I’m not giving up on him yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What this does in my mind is gives MSG negotiating power going forward. For example if they get into a fight with Fios, MSG will try to get people to subscribe to this. They are giving people an expensive alternative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
