if he has not lost the dressing room already that would be the hole that would break the dam and let the water run freeKnoblauch needs to start naming the passengers. If he’s not going to bench the slackers, he could at least give the worst habitual offenders (Henrique, RNH, Brown) a mention.
Yeah, “scouts” have been saying that from day one because he’s not 6’5”. But he just makes saves. I’d be willing to bet he has a good NHL career, either here or somewhere else.I heard in the GYB podcast when they had Jamie McLennan on that ‘Rodrigue is not an NHL goalie’. They were quite clear on that.
I’d like an upgrade, but not a get out of jail free card where the skaters can still play this crappy individual focused game and not give a crap at the back and have the goalie bail them out.Here's my thoughts on goaltending. They need an athletic goalie who can come up with some big stops in close games. Doesn't matter if the guy is prone to the odd bad goal. We already get that with Skinner, but without any of the athletic "how did he save that" kind of saves.
I was honestly kind of against Binnington when I heard that chatter, but after his performance in clutch time for Canada, previous stretches of elite play, him being an athletic goalie who can make miraculous saves, and some of his underlying metrics on high danger chances/saves off the rush. I'd definitely be on board over what we have.
The 3rd goal was unacceptable and the 4th was just atrocious. He was not better. The kid sucks right now, full stop.Stu Skinner was def better. Had some bad bounces.
FYI better doesn't mean elite.
Can it move laterally, left to right?I'll take a pile of garbage at this point
