rottenrefs Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Are the Wild rotating them enough? Better than last year? Currently Dubnyk has started 25 games to Stalock's 7 games. Dubnyk has been relieved a couple times... Not bad? Last year Dubnyk saw about 72% of their games and this year he's seen about 78%. Too steep of a load or just right? What do you think?

CreaseAndAssist Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 No, they're not. I think Dubnyk makes that decision at least 80% of the time. Stalock should've played in at least one of those games last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I think it is a bit steep....but that is nothing new. For all the Wild coaching staff want to say about how "Stalock does a good job for us", they still run Dubnyk to the ground. In truth, though I think Stalock is a decent backup, he CAN let in some maddening goals and oftentimes leaves me thinking that THAT is why Dubnyk is always run out there. Duby can let in some softies too, but given his workload, he can sorta make up for it....with as little time as Stalock gets, he simply can't afford to give up those backbreakers. Minnesota has needed a quality back up (or at least one they actually have true faith in) for quite some time now. How nice would it be, if Dubnyk and his backup maybe did a 60-40 workload, and have Duby nice n fresh for the postseason! Won't be happening with Stalock, just like it didn't happen with Keumper, but I am not sure what options Minnesota would have looking into next season (other than bringing up the Hamburglar...yikes!), as Stalock will be an UFA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomdog Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I would think a 1 out 3 ratio for staylok would be about right. That's pretty close to what they're doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always wanted to see more of a consistent rotation Like Tomdog said. 2 of 3 for Dubnyk and if Stalock has a good game, Let him have the next then go back to the 2 of 3 pattern. Of course schedule and who has a history of doing well against certain teams will factor in, But even those seem to even out. Except for luongo starting at the X We know Dubnyk's game, Best and worst. Yet I'm not sure if Stalock has another level given the amount we get to see him. He did have a chance last season with the 5-6 straight where he went .500. Maybe that's all he has and is what we see now. I kind of doubt we'll ever see a tandem like the Fern/Roli days. Possibly might of had a Backy/Hards until his illness. Then we were almost left with a Back n' Hack attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomdog Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Relief appearances should not count and I would schedule staylock in regardless of how well dubs is playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still would like to see him play a few more games, though. He doesn't really hurt the Wild when he plays--he's a couple of games over .500. Seems to me if there is any benefit to be gained by Dubnyk it's worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion ,he is still our good option to use it for the next season and even more before our young promising goalies Kahkonen and Motte will be able to develop in Iowa. Both Dubnyk and Stalock need a team's support (like I said the same for the our goalies in Iowa). Very similar situation for our both teams at this moment. Minimal or even zero production from some team's players, +/- -4; -5 stats for some of them during the game makes our current position in a Division and a Conference. Still I am not sure that we will make playoffs this season. Good team but not a consistent in their results and a confidence. Any way, I liked a lot last game against Flames. We need sometimes some sparks of madness, to stand for each other, especially in a playoffs time, which we are missing most of the time as a real competitive team.

rottenrefs Posted December 18, 2018 Author Share Posted December 18, 2018 With their Goals Against Average nearly the same, and their wins / loses not all that great for either of them, one might think regardless of playing Stalock more and Dubnyk less... That Dubnyk could be a bit sharper if he saw less of a workload. ?? Dubnyk 12 wins, 10 losses, (2 OT losses), 2.63 GAA, .913 Save % Stalock 5 wins, 3 losses, 2.65 GAA, .904 Save % Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I see it is neither of them are standing out as being much better than the other and relieving the guy who's supposed to be your main man come playoff time... Well, he's certainly not a standout. Playing him too much isn't going to make the team better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That stat is interesting but don't you think it's also reflects how we have not played a full 60 minute often times. Out of gas or Foot off gas.

That's pretty close to what they're doing. Agree too. Good ratio, hope they will follow it proportionally well. Stalock should play every 3rd game or about 27-30 games per season. That is pretty close to what they are doing, but they are not distributing that ratio persistently well. At this moment they do that chaotically when one is overload and the other one is in a rusted condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of gas, or foot off gas, or less luck, or less talent to put more pucks into the net and protect more our own net, or even older age , and even other some secondary factors play the role in our current standings.

Alexandron Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Thanks for posting those stats IllaZilla. Very nice info to study. Interesting would be to compare it with a data by the end of the regular season. Of course, it depends of the successful performance for both goalies and their health. Personally, I like the ratio for Washington Capitals team – 69% for Holtby and 34% for Copley. The other successful teams Tampa and Calgary having so far pretty similar ratio on using both goaltenders 53% -56% for a goalie#1 to 44% for a goalie#2, which is practically almost equalizing their workload. So far we have 78% involvement time for Dubnyk and 22% for Stalock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We therefore should see those numbers along with the goalie who was set as the back-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I know many Wild fans like Stalock (and I DON'T think he is terrible...just not a huge fan), but looking over at potential UFA's for next season, I'd like to see the Wild possibly make a run at plucking Casey DeSmith from the Penguins. A UFA, making about the same that Stalock is making now (both sub 700K), 4 years younger than our current backup, he nonetheless, has put up better numbers and that is working behind a Pittsburgh defense that has lots of holes in it. If he can be convinced to come over, maybe give the 27 yr old double his current salary (something in the 3yr, 1.5-1.7M per range) to be Dubnyk's backup, I think Duby's workload can be reduced enough to keep him fresh, while still playing the lion's share of games, but I rather like DeSmith to not only not miss a beat having Dubnyk sit, but even push Duby for the starter job. Good healthy goalie competition for ice time isn't necessarily a bad thing. I don't think Stalock can push Dubnyk the way a guy like DeSmith possibly can. Here is a quick comparison of Stalock and DeSmith this season (I even threw in Devan Dubnyk for further comparison) Yea, yea, I know...DeSmith has more games played than Stalock, but he still is firmly BEHIND Matt Murray over there and played while Murray dealt with health issues...still though, the Penguins are not a solid defensive team, yet DeSmith put up damned good numbers. Of PARTICULAR note, look at the save % in the higher danger areas (shots from 1-15 feet, and from 15-30 feet... DeSmith beats both Stalock AND Duby on those), while the Minnesota netminders have a slight edge on the long range shots (the much easier ones)....albeit DeSmith's .955 is nothing to sneeze at. Just sayin, I would feel better with DeSmith backing up Dubnyk for the next 2 or 3 seasons or so more than Stalock….. and after that period ends (Duby's contract will come due), then the Wild can evaluate and see where they are...maybe even have a more viable option ready from the minors.

Who knows what Fenton is thinking right now. He possibly could move Stalock in a package with somebody else soon for a needed player which would open this possibility or just bring up Kakkonen to replace him. I just don't see Stalock being here as a tandem for much longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it weren't for Matt Murray (maybe MAF before him), he might have been the Pittsburgh regular starter. Well, he also DID take the time to go to college (good move on his part), get his education and have an outstanding college career, so that probably played into him becoming recognized in the NHL only just now at age 27. But yea, he is pretty good. The Penguins always seem to have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to goaltenders. Minnesota could have other options in the off season too.... Maybe a Jimmy Howard on a short term deal or a Keith Kinkaid from New Jersey ( I know, I know....Kinkaid's numbers recently have been bad....but then, NJ is HORRIBLE), because Kinkaid actually did hold down the goalie position pretty well through most of Cory Schneider's meltdowns. Still though, I like Casey DeSmith head n shoulders above either of those guys. And if there were some way, ANY way, the Wild brass could convince him to come on over, I think they should.
