The present is pretty illuminated, and the future can still be very, very bright.
Hey, maybe that's really what got Gibson rolling... 
Not seeing much of the prophecy (1/2/3/4) that came from Danish royalty who enjoyed the term "golden boy", who was rather positive he'd be brutally exposed. He actually confirmed that for himself, though.

With all his games that went to overtime, especially with 8 that ended in losses that would drop his stats, I wanted to see what his save % in regulation is.
It is a sparkling .928.
Now digging deeper into the games that went to OT and how he fared in regulation in them, he gave up 2 goals or less in 9 of the 11 (1 goal three times, 2 goals five times, and 0 goals once.. the game when Bernier was pulled against SJ). Unfortunately, 8 of these times the team lost in overtime. I think it's fair to say his play was good enough to allow the team to win in regulation in these games.
In the 2 games that went to OT and he gave up more than 2 goals in regulation, the team actually ended up winning. The game on New Year's against Philly.. which was one of his best games when he faced 54 shots.. and when he gave up 5 against Carolina.
just wanted to point this out as even with how good his stats are.. top 10 in both GAA and SV%.. if not for how inept the Ducks are offensively and with break downs defensively in OT, his stats would be even better.

I might have to stop calling him 'The Fish'.... he's been much less floppy lately. Maybe 'The Crab'?

Crab invokes images of an agile quick shuffling or scuttling. Not exactly what I picture in Gibson.
I say more of a octopus like crawl where his limbs flail around helplessly as he pulls himself excruciatingly slowly across the ground while the rest of his body is dragged behind him.

7th best GAA among goalies over 30 GP
4th best Save % among goalies over 30 GP
Looks like playing alot more has been good for him, he's cut out the soft goals and is making more big time saves. also his puck handling has improved and I think that's helped as well.

Has Gibson been using tighter goalie pants already or does he have to switch yet? The new pants became mandatory since yesterday.

Nah. For one, goalies on the West coast have to be otherworldly to get national attention, and two, there are goalies who have been better than him all year.

To be fair, he always has that "tired" look in his non-consequential actions, like getting up extraordinarily slow when the team has the puck. That makes it tough to get a read on when real tiredness is setting in with him.
