Have only been able to see the highlights (which often leave much to be desired at the AHL.tv site), but boy has the goaltending looked regularly lacking and sometimes just downright brutal.
You don't always see everything in how a goal is generated with these highlights, but the number of weakass goals that look to be 100% on the goaltender is astounding. The expressions on the faces and body language of the skaters in front of them are often quite telling about what's going through their minds out there.
PS) Speaking of highlights, I mean they are often REALLY bad at the AHL site. Often just cuts of scenes here and there. Often with just background music. No pointing out what the score is at any given time - sometimes not even at the end of the game. Sometimes they don't even finish a scene where a goal is scored. It's shocking to me because not only does every major European league have solid, well-cut, thorough 3-6 minute highlight videos of every game, but so too do a majority of the 2nd level leagues. The second league here in Germany often has like 8+ minute long highlights showing every goal in the game, often from 3-4 different vantage points. And that's for every game in league play.
How the frack does the AHL not have something somewhat similar to that, much less their NHL partner???
