What do you mean “some people”?Some people will love these pads.
lol I mean people who aren't me. I liked the "natural leather" look.What do you mean “some people”?
The biggest fraud of an all star from the Wild since Filip KubaI mean, we have an NHL all star sitting on the bench right now (Talbot).
Talking about streaky; Kahkonen was streaky as hell.Oh Lord. Can you then admit that goalies can be streaky. Meanwhile Kuemper might just roll the Avs to their Third Cup this year, and I will bet my house that Kahkonen will come back down the road to bite us.
You are acting like Talbot is a bum.
The point is, goalies are nuts, and streaky.
We should have kept Kahkonen, and started Talbot this postseason.

I love Kahkonen and thought Minnesota made a mistake moving him, but that's water under the bridge.
Truth be told I don't get the MAF pick up at all. I guess if he's thinking about keeping MAF, then moving Talbot? Then maybe it makes sense?? I have no idea.

Should have started him from jump. I never understood the need for you guys getting Fleury. Start Cam next game. He’s great in tight situations. Fleury less-so.Just speculation.... With Cam not getting a start in the playoff this year, I think he may be gone next year. Looking in from the outside, BG's plan for next year at the moment has about a dozen avenues it can go...it's going to be one hell of a mess.
Geurin has a love for old penguin players.Should have started him from jump. I never understood the need for you guys getting Fleury. Start Cam next game. He’s great in tight situations. Fleury less-so.
imo it was the right move at the time. Both Wild goalies were looking a bit shaky however, once we got Flower, Talbot went back to being solid. I like the gamble but, you'll have a hard time telling me Flower has been better than Talbot since we got him. I'm a bit shocked that we keep putting Flower out though since I think Goal has been one of our weak points this playoff series. Can't pin it all on him though.Should have started him from jump.

There was not and is not a single shred of evidence that MAF has been better than Talbot since the TDL, and while I agree that we cannot pin it all on him, he has been so damn shaky that I am convinced the folks in front of them grip the stick a bit harder when your goalie spills everything.imo it was the right move at the time.

I am more inclined to blame the D, which IMO is finally reverting to what they really are, but Fleury against his playoff peers is;There was not and is not a single shred of evidence that MAF has been better than Talbot since the TDL, and while I agree that we cannot pin it all on him, he has been so damn shaky that I am convinced the folks in front of them grip the stick a bit harder when your goalie spills everything.

2nd in TOI
13th in SV%
15th in GAA
He is way below average compared to his competition.
You are more knowledgeable about G tending than me. I was trained from an early age to never blame the goalie, so barring letting in a wrist shot from center ice I never really know what to expect from a goalie. I do know what it's like to play with a great goalie behind you. So wonderful, and God help the opponent who tries to run him. We would literally destroy anyone who talked to him funny.I am not blaming the defense too much here. Several goals are a result of him not swallowing pucks and allowing rebound goals, or allowing the Blues to maintain possession and score soon after. Even his saves are shaky, and the fact that either Geurin or Evason didn't see this after game 1 is worrisome.
i also wonder if the retreat to the slot so quick and giving up the first shot is for rebound control as they know fleury will kick it out as long as he makes the first save?You are more knowledgeable about G tending than me.

But the D is not good. Not terrible, but not good. Sometimes thats on the forwards, sometimes not, but our slow footed guys back up too much to guard against getting beaten by speed, just giving away the line. They are also mediocre in board battles, except for Brodin.
