I have hopes that you're right, have been high on Tolopilo for quite a while and am looking forward to him getting the bulk of the starts in Abby this year.

I think even if healthy, he should get at most 20 games in the first half of the season. And 20-25 in the second half. They really need to keep him fresh for the playoffs.

With the rumors about adding another goalie, Silovs might be bumped to the AHL and tandem with Tolopilo... I guess bumping Patera to the ECHL?
That might be what would happen though Patera could make it messy. Article 13.11 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement reads "A Player who is not in the Entry Level System may not be Loaned to the East Coast Hockey League without his consent." Patera's entry level contract expired after the 2022-2023 season.
(In case anyone wonders, the strange looking capitalization of "Player" and "Loan" in Article 13.11 is because those terms, when used with capitals, are given meanings in the definitions section of the CBA.)

I have met mossey in person so I can debunk this conspiracy
So you’re saying Woodley is impersonating Mossey?

That would be a dumb move on his part, he has so many connections to the pro goaltending community. I'm definitely jealous of the kind of recognition and respect he has in the community.
As for me, I'm just offering my opinion for the most part. I have had some conversation and limited work with like three NHL goalie coaches but most of that was years ago and the position has moved on dramatically since those times. It's also fun for me to try to keep up with all the new techniques so that colours my commentary as well.
WIthout Ingoal, I would be a lot less informed and that's why I've been a subscriber of theirs since their inception pretty much. I do troll the internet a bunch, a lot of the smaller goalie coaches are online and you can see which way things are heading by what they post. But some things at the highest levels don't trickle down all that fast. And the real juicy stuff I find is essentially paywalled for their actual students. But you start to recognize trends.

Ugh. On one hand I guess it's not enough to keep him from playing but this kind of nagging thing is the worst. Anyone have any idea what it could be?Vancouver Canucks goaltender Thatcher Demko confirmed to have inoperable injury

The reports (i'll try and find the links or clips of who've said it) have been that it's some back of the knee injury that's basically never been seen. It can't be operated on, and he'll have to learn to play through it.

Makes me really curious what it could be.
Lets hope its chronic tendinitis because we all know a good north american kid can just go full speed ahead with that.
I read that Vancouver finally offered Lankinen a 1 year deal at about $1 million. He said no.
I mean why would he say yes when he made $2 million per season the past two season?!
With Demko not being 100% anytime soon, it would be smart of Vancouver to lock up Lankinen for 2-3 seasons at around $1.5 per season.
