Is Calvin Pickard Better Than Chet Pickard ?
Is Louis Boileau-Domingue Better than Calvin Pickard ?
How good do you think Matt Hackett will be ?
Calvin vs. Chet Pickard
Chet's numbers at 17:
29GP - 17W - 10L - 1OT - 2.85GAA - .903 SV%
That year, the Tri-City Americans finished second in the US Division.
Calvin's numbers this year (also 17):
35GP - 11W - 18L - 6OT - 2.80GAA - .921SV%
Seattle is, at the moment, in last place in the US Division and second last in the conference.
Calvin is less of a butterfly goaltender than Chet but I'd attribute that to the height difference (Calvin is shorter). I'd say he's got better upper body reflexes and is more fundamentally sound but Chet has better lateral movement.
Louis Domingue vs. Calvin Pickard
They play differing and complimentary styles, they're both extremely skilled, so why not take them both? I will say this, I want to see if Domingue fluorishes under Patrick Roy's tutelage or if he buckles under the pressure of having a coach who's a top 3 goaltender of all-time.
Matt Hackett
He takes away the bottom of the net probably better than any goaltender in junior hockey. Some very good athleticism, a lanky kid who has very quick lateral movement, even though said movement lacks technical proficiency.
