I mean he had a couple of stinkers last season too.

I get the excitement but let's slow the roll a bit and make sure he can sustain at the NHL level once the NHL gets a scouting report on him. Let's let him earn it before crowning him king.

after seeing such putrid goaltending all season, it’s refreshing to see someone so composed in net like jet. that’s all.

I think Tarasov is done

Don't make the decision on one game but we'll see how the weekend goes and make the call from there to make sure Jet is ready for regular NHL time.

We've seen enough from Tarasov but I would like to see more from Jet considering our organizational goaltending depth behind him is not existent.

*might* is the key. It's too early.

If Evason decides to play with Merzlikins for the rest of the season, Jet will end up like Tarasov. He'll be rusty while not being able to make a single mistake.

Not specifically sure what that means. I think Elvis was playing so much because they had no trust in Tarasov. I think playing time would be more split for the rest of the season if they move on.

They do owe a decent goaltender to Cleveland. I don't know if that can be Tarasov to figure himself out or if they need to acquire one but Cleveland can't go the rest of the season with Sawchenko and Cajan as the goalie tandem if Jet stays here.

What?

Nobody is going to blame Jet for giving up a goal on a shot from that far out? :sarcasm:

I came back here expecting people to even try to find a way to blame Elvis for this goal.
You.....I like you.

So very true, if that was Elvis giving up that OT goal he'd be vilified.

I like Jet, he's a calming presence - but yeah, people need to resist crowning him just yet.

I thought we were outmanned the first 10 minutes. Competent goaltending kept us from going down 2 or 3 goals. Things looked even from there. With four straight FO wins to keep possession, we had a good chance to win it in OT.
