Ah, so you don't even understand what "rebound control" even is.

We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.
What This Means for You:
- If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
- If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
- Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
- Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress
Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.
In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server
Ah, so you don't even understand what "rebound control" even is.
I understand that directing a rebound to your teammate or off to the boards if possible is control. Some goaltenders can block a shot so that it drops within feet of them and they can cover it. Dobes is pretty good at that. Many don't seem to have control over where it is going and their teammates have to fight to clear the puck.
I mean context plays an important part. Where is the shot coming from, is the goalie screened, is it a rebound, did it tip, the instructions from coaches, is it a east to west play etc.
Also, perhaps most importantly, where on their body and how the goaltender is stopping the puck.
Some parts of the body, and the equipment, allow for much more control than others.
The person I was responding seems to suggest that the defenders having to go and retrieve the rebound somehow indicated that the goaltender didn't have rebound control, which is absurd.
A goaltender with excellent rebound control might be steering pucks into the corners, might intentionally be kicking out a rebound, moving it further from the net when people have collapsed around them, etc.
His fundamental misunderstanding of what it meant somehow led him to believe that only a handful of NHL starters had good rebound control which is just a ridiculous claim.
Rebound control is an issue for Primeau but I’ve always been more concerned with how badly he’d put himself out of position. He was always able to make those hail mary saves in college but that doesn’t work in the pros.
It least if Primeau had a rebound it meant he stopped a shot to create a rebound.
Possibly, but he needs to kill it in the A with Laval.
For a goalie, his confidence seems shot........too bad I really thought he would have been better this year.
There seem to be technique and reflex issues. He let's in a lot of goals Glove hand and between the wickets - and everywhere else really.
