I don't think this speaks to Lack's suitability as a prospect, but 7 goals in one period is epic level bad. In fact, I'm willing to bet that the vast majority of goalies who have the talent to reach the pros has NEVER let in 7 goals in one period.
He did not look good on a single goal against. I'm not sure why Tortorella left him in there for 'bouncing back' because I definitely didn't see it.
While FAN is definitely premature in his assessments, I think this shows us how much the pressure of being the starter and the difference in routine and workload can change a goalie's game.
But let's not pretend every goalie has a 7 goal period. Probably every goalie has had a 7-8 goal game. But not one period.
Lack let in 6, one was an empty net, (4 were PP goals, one was a second after it expired but I'll count it since the guy wasn't on the ice). I'd be more worried if he got ventilated at ES.
OTOH Luongo let in 6 in the 3rd vs Edmonton. 7 in 18min if you add the one at the end of the 2nd. Only one was on the PP.
