Right! Besides the shootout undressing what goal was a bad goal? The PP goal through traffic? The 3 on 2 with no back check or the 4 on 2? Which goals are his fault?As they should have been. NO reason to lose against this lineup tonight. Except for the goaltending of course and throw in the inability to execute and looking sick on the shootout.
Goaltending had nothing to do with it right
We have mastered scoring goals and have proved we are one of if not the best in the O. But until this team learns to prioritize goal prevention we are in trouble. IMO we play full throttle offence 100% of the time and prevention is an after thought. Same song, same results. We loose to a team we should consistently beat!
I agree, costly. But still an asset and we should see what the future will bring. I do believe Chucky needs to play.
I sadly don't think we'll see much of Krawchuk, his last outing he was given almost no chance before he was pulled.
The third was as brutal. Anyway, I’m not going back-and-forth on this.The results will speak for themselves. I’m entitled to my opinion, and unless I see something quite a bit different I think Papineau made a panic move again and greatly over paid for this guy and I don’t see him being much better, if at all than Krawchuck. He kind of throws himself at the puck and overplays quite a bit. Let’s see how many back to back saves he makes and he is always down. Those of you old enough might remember Palmateer that’s kind of who he reminds me of. If
It’s Vondras or bust and I’m not super confident about the odds. Forget any notion of getting another goalie it’s not gonna happen
Your opinion on our goaltending is valid and I do respect it. I don’t know goaltending style other than being square to shooter and rebound control. You are more qualified to provide feedback. I focus on the play outside the crease.
Unless vondras up's his game, it will be 2 years in a row Papineau has made poor decisions in the crease.
There are better OAs than the wolves have for sure, but MacCallum and Anania should be kept imo as both are above average and long time wolves.
West is not great and is an overager, how would trading for him make any sense? When Vondras comes back, 'Chucky' will never be seen again. All 3 goalies haven't been great, but spare me the 'he has the best stats' BS on a 5 game sample size. He plays with no confidence, stays way too deep in his net and it is hopeless every time he takes the ice.
Well #1 imo, Mayer for Goure or Punnet sending Goure wherever including waivers.
A goal against in the first 3-4 minutes, as is tradition at this point. Hopefully a win after that.
