Confirmed with Link: Get excited about Filip Gustavsson

[DrakeAndJosh]

Wins his first AHL game 8-2! Almost 40 saves.

Any updates on this guy? How's he playing?

Had some bad games lately. Numbers are suffering big time

He had the one big 40 save win and then had to play 2 more games in 3 nights .. did not fare well but with McKenna up and Hogberg out he was the option.
Did not see the game yesterday but the night before the Marlies beat Condon for 6 goals.. most he didn't have much of a chance on.
Belleville's D is an adventure. A few marginal D. I think Burgdoerfer was out yesterday as well. Work in progress. Potential is there.

Yeah, I can only hope it is a reflection on the D and not the man in between the posts.

I think it's a combination of both, Gus is a young goalie trying to find his way in a new country on a new team after starting the yr in the ECHL. I think all he needs is time & experience & as long as he keeps improving yr after yr he should be fine.

Not sure if his defence is helping him much either, Condon the NHL goalie let in 6 goals the other night & didn't get a lot of help from the defence either.

 

[dumbdick]

I'm a big fan of his. Very efficient and quick. Gets exactly where he needs to be without much extra motion.

 

[derriko]

Don't care about an import struggling early on. Olympic vs standard size rinks is a major adjustment for goalies since their game is all about angles.

At the half way mark if he's still rocking an under 90% save percentage, I'll start to worry.

 

[Egg]

He's got a bright future, in my opinion. He's insanely composed in goal, which is what Ottawa needs.

He seems to have strong positioning from what I've seen. Couple this with a strong competitive edge, and athleticism.

 

[foggyvisor]

I'm not gonna lie. The massive prospectboner I had for Gustavsson has kinda shriveled down to a semi. Let's hope he gets his shit together soon.

What was the rush to get him over here i just do not get it.

 

[SensFactor]

When Anderson retires we will be in big trouble.

 

[mat_sens]

I want to see more of Hogberg

 

[DJB]

Man....

I guess this is why we need to draft a goalie each and every year . Oh and trade for good ones because they are cheap.

We were in big trouble when he was traded here.

 

[Back in Black]

Looking forward to seeing what he can do!

I bet management is too...
