I think Lundqvist would be the better choice to start against Carolina. Call me crazy, but I genuinely trust him in big game situations. Especially if he is well rested and had a strong camp.
That said, neither goalie let up a bad goal this game. I think we are overly critical of goalies as fans. The shots that beat Shesterkin and Lundqvist literally happen to every goalie every game.
Are we pulling the goalie with 2:30 left so we can lose 4-1?
This game is putting him to sleep like everyone elseZib looks gassed. Like since 1st period.
The real problem is that Fast is the one getting pretty much all of the offensive opportunities tonightFast is such a better player in the bottom 6 just is. Let him play next to Chytil they’ll cause trouble for a lot of teams
Yeah, all he needed was possibly the best goal scorer of all time lolTrotz won a cup pushing the Capitals to play defensive hockey. Its a winning formula. He is one of the better coaches in the NHL.
Swapped jerseys and handedness with the K-man.Zib looks gassed. Like since 1st period.
The studies show it raises your expected win percentage but I don't think it takes into account that the other team scoring makes that number basically zero.This is my least favorite thing. Are there studies showing this works? Pull the goalie with 60 seconds left but thats it.
Studies actually show the earlier you pull the goalie, the better. But that’s not always the case every single game obviouslyThis is my least favorite thing. Are there studies showing this works? Pull the goalie with 60 seconds left but thats it.
Shithead Ross Johnston tried to crush him with an open ice in the 1st that he shrugged off. If I was in his shoes after that moment I'd say f*** this, it is an exhibition game and all they are doing is hooking, holding, and backskating. Let him coastZib looks gassed. Like since 1st period.
