So Annunen is the next Reto Berra.

So Annunen is the next Reto Berra.

Only if he gets traded for a 2nd.

I know it's been two consecutive shutouts against, arguably, the NHL's worst team. But Annunen has looked calm and positionally sound in both wins. I think we have our backup goalie and maybe more!

I wish management had given the Juice more starts earlier in the year so that we'd have a bigger body of work to review in deciding whether to get a goalie at the TDL.

It'd be nice to use whatever assets we had earmarked for a back-up goalie toward whatever "mediocre, but better than RyJo" Center we've been eyeing.

My vote is to "Squeeze the Juice" going forward. But I suppose if they see a back up goalie they like and doesn't break the bank . . . OK.

I have also been impressed with his positioning and tracking of the puck the last two starts. Also his ability to look around the screens has been a relief compared to our other option.

I certainly hope they give him the Detroit start to have at least one more look against at least a middle of the or a little above that team.

Nah we'd have to trade him for the 2024 version of Rocco Grimaldi.

So......Rocco Grimaldi.

Ive always been a believer. a fact: right now he has only one less shutout than Helleybuck, who has been the best goalie this season.

saving this post for eternity when he becomes the consensual second best goalie in the history of the franchise.

I was thinking about Tommy Salo, but to each their own.

Fourgiev lost to that worst team. Anyone getting a 36 save shutout is impressive. The crease should be shared alot more goin forward. If Annunen allows 4 goals so be it the other guy is doing that aswell.

Agreed. Going forward, we should be splitting the load with some more balance between Fourgiev and Fatso. Not going to lie, the latter's recent play has me just excited enough to the point where I'm starting to envision the moment where he lets us all down.

No need to worry. He's not going to let in another goal ever again. The people who asked why not just get a fat guy for a goalie were onto something.
