I agree .2 year deal with no raiseHe's playing for his contract this year for sure but I can't see him getting a raise and is probably going to make less next year wherever he goes due to the current climate.
do you also subtract goals from Gretzky's totals because he lit up last place teams with SUB-NHL goalies?
It's just risky, So many of these big deals to goalies are busts. And boy, he looked terrible last year. There are some damn good goalies making 2-3 million per.
Of course not, because Gretzky lit up the entire league and has actual accomplishments. If the best thing you could say about him was that he scored a bunch of goals on a terrible defensive team in the first round, then yea I'd question how good he actually was.
I rest my case. Thank you for killing your own stupid point.
Because it's not true.Keefe teams have very very active defenders. This leads to teams getting more odd man rushes and/or breakaways (pretty much a guarantee with this style of system). I haven't found a stat to back this up
Link for stats please. Never seen that tracked before on any website. Rush attempts isn't exactly what I'm looking for or shows what I was talking about but if it is a readily available tracked stat that would be interestingBecause it's not true.
5v5 Rush attempts against/60, Andersen
Babcock: 1.75
Keefe: 1.70
Also, Andersen's high danger SV% hasn't really changed. He's just been letting in more lower-end shots.

I mean, literally every piece of information disproves your claim. Scoring chances, high danger chances, rush chances, expected goals against, etc. At what point do you just admit you were wrong? Even if you were right about whatever arbitrary, specific type of chance you want, I'm not sure what relevance you think it has, when the overall difficulty Andersen faces has unquestionably decreased.Rush attempts isn't exactly what I'm looking for or shows what I was talking about
Sudden changes in goaltending happen all of the time! Goalies are incredibly random and variable, and their peaks come at all sorts of ages and often don't last. Andersen started struggling before Keefe; it's just amplified under Keefe because our defense improved so much - there's nothing else to shift the blame to anymore. If Anderson can't "thrive" under a good defensive system, that's a massive problem. It's already been pointed out that his high danger save percentage has remained similar; he's just letting in more lower-quality shots - blaming that on the coach or system is pretty ridiculous.Sudden changes in stats while a goalie is in their prime especially right when a coaching change happens seems to point at the system or the goalie not thriving in the system rather than the goalie themselves suddenly becoming worse overnight.
NopeDo people really think

You have no case to rest.
The better goalie will almost always win the playoff series.
It's also correctNo? Are you saying saying that the coach/forwards/defence have almost no impact on a playoff game.
That is some next level crazy.
You have no case to rest.
The better goalie will almost always win the playoff series.
Now show me which series he's been the better goalie.
I'll wait.

What do you think my claim is/was?
Sudden goalie changes do not happen all the time for situations like this, I.e. bona-fide starter starting to struggle out of nowhere after years of consistent high level play, still well within his prime and generally better quality teammates now. I dont know why it is happening either but the one major change in that time has been coaching. It would be logical to wonder if there is any relationship and so I was just spit balling that perhaps he played better in a Babcock style defensive system. If that is the case he will need to be moved on from as he doesn't fit with the team anymore.
I didn't blame it on the coach or system, I proposed possible reasons for his play getting markedly worse under Keefe. Your so protective of anything Dubas related, it is insufferable
He definitely tried to implement one but it didn't work for a variety of reasons. The D is better now because of personal, system and the major reason, the development of all the younger leaf players. That includes forwards.We were playing a defensive system under Babcock? If that's the case, why is our D so much better now that he's gone?

Ya he tried to fit a system that didn't work at all with the personnel. That is completely on the coach and the reason he was fired. I haven't missed that lolYeah I think you're missing what might be the biggest reason of all - Babcock himself.
