How are all these posters who pooped on Copper?
Now they have been disgraced and will not even show their face on the Copley threadz./
Total wussies!
As usual, I don't see anyone pooping on him, I see them calling it like it is. You can cheer for the guy, be proud of what he accomplished, root for him, and still think he's not a long-term solution.
I stand by what I said on Jan 9th:
"I tend to agree, but I don't think he's the guy to take us to the next level.
At the top % of the game, that'll make a difference. Look at the Boston game--the biggest difference was Swayman saved their asses long enough to turn it around.
I agree that you don't want to hide your problems with good goaltending and I
fully agree that was Copley does best is NOT LOSE us games and that's the most important first step. It's nice because it puts the responsibility back on the team D. But when we start running into Bostons, I think it will make it apparent that Copley is merely very good--and for now, that's a good problem."
He's still hovering .900 night to night, that's exactly where he was a month ago. Beyond the stats I'll say he does have the knack so far for a timely big save simply by being cozy in position. Just like a month ago, just what the doctor ordered for now. Gonna need a lot more than .900 to go deep, though.
