GDT: Columbus @ Montreal | 7 PM EST

If goaltending worked the way some here act our goalies would end the year with a .985SV%

If our goalies worked the way goaltending should, they'd have a .900 SV% and would have allowed 0.4 goals on 4 shots.

 

[Cyclones Rock]

The Jackets should be winning 6-0 if everything worked in a just way

Yeah all shots are created equal. No elite goalie has ever had a sequence like that

Those shots weren't crazy hard to save. He was in position for the last 2 and they beat him through his pads.

Yeah Im sure any goalie will tell you tips are easy to save

 

[Crede777]

They are when you're square and the tip goes down like that one did.

 

[CBJ goalie]

Watching it again on the replays, it was tipped but Elvis was square to it. He shouldn't have let it by.

Oh my......you can't be serious.
Blaming him for a tipped slap shot??? And he was partially screened?
So easy to say 'well, on the replay.....' - NHL hockey moves FAST. No way he purposely stops that - he was in position, it hit the crossbar and went off his back.

Ridiculous

 

[Fred Glover]

We've seen a few good games from him. Not nearly enough to make any conclusions.

They need to figure it out before next season

What's easy is to say nobody should be giving up 3 goals on the first 4 shots of the game.

Cayden Primeau came to play. Elvis did not.

I don't think you can really "figure it out" with most goalies. Even if Tarasov plays well the rest of the year we don't know what he'll do next season. Certainly with Tarasov he doesn't have the fundamentals to give me confidence in him.

That's bullshit and you know it.

1st goal; Gallagher all alone in front, tipped in.
2nd goal; blasted through him.
3rd goal; already discussed.

Stats do not tell the truth here.

Pulling him was still the right move.

Just reviewed the goals. 1 and 3 were nice goals by Montreal. The second was an uncontested one timer on a PP from 20 or so feet. Certainly not unstoppable but no guaranteed save either.

 

[stevo61]

ping. Probably would have gone in if Elvis was in net

 

[CBJ goalie]

With the amount of PP time they got, should have at least one goal FFS

 

[stevo61]

Lots of passing, lots of chances. Weird game so far.

Guess you've never heard the phrase "they needed him to make some big saves early and he kept them in the game."

That's not a major expectation. A decent goalie will make a few big saves each night to keep the team in the game.

 

[KJ Dangler]

Need to pull Boone off top line .. give Gaudreau someone that can finish .. Maybe Sillinger

 

[stevo61]

Anderson taking a number, winder if we get some fireworks tonight

 

[CBJ goalie]

Nylander and Gaudreau with some nice chemistry there, interesting.....

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Johnny standing there behind the net and everyone on the ice just looking at him

 

[MoeBartoli]

If Boone scored when he was all alone in front, and Voronkov scored on his breakaway and Texier didn't get robbed by Primeau, this is a tie game!
This is fun!

If…dog…rabbit.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Sunofa…

All I want is a goalie who will make saves and stop the puck
No excuses
Just make the save
Somehow someway
Please sweet Jesus find me a goalie

Bean just got baked….
