Another bad, stupid pass by Staal leading up to getting hammered in their own zone before that icing. What's up with him?
 
Watching through board updates in my way back home from thanksgiving...how much time left? Any chance sestito is out if box in time for falk to "finish him"?

The last two games have shown the need for McIlrath. Hopefully he's ready for action next year. Tired of this team being bullied.

I agree, McIlrath has the size needed to intimidate and legit match up against a trash talking Sestito. Dorsett never lets his boys down though, he always has their back...Small but huge Heart is better than big and no heart

Why the hell can Cam control the pucks but not Hank? That sort of pisses me off.

First of all, I know you missed most of the game, but any puck shot into the chest protector a goalie is going hold on to. No shot will bounce off your chest protector and go 30 feet out.

Secondly, earlier in the game there was a hard, low shot that hit Talbot in the pad and he kicked it out 20 feet in front of him. Same that Hank does. This is a result of most goal pads these days being made of light materials which cause much larger rebounds opposed to the older pads which sucked in and absorbed most of the shots.

Hank deflects rebounds to the sides, just like all goalies are fundamentally taught to do. However, many times a shot comes in hard and you don't always have the ability to deflect to the sides, and its going to come out in front. First rule is to always make the save, and IF you can control the rebound, or hold on to the puck you do. If it does come out, this is where you rely on your teammates in front of you to help clear the rebounds.

That's fine and all, but Hank has had a rebound control problem for years since Allaire's system just doesn't emphasize it at all. None of Allaire's goalies ever had great rebound control. Luongo actually saw his worsen under Allaire.
 
And what an awful system Allaire has come up with, allowing 2 and a half goals a game for close to a decade.
