Not really a goalie meltdown. Elliot did what was expected of him. Maybe even a little more. Hakstol broke him. Nuevy broke himself and stolaraz was out. We are on our 4th and 5th goalie option.Unfortunately, I don't think anyone expected our goalie meltdown.
Didn't expect greatness, but thought regression to the mean would get us close to league average.

Another one of hakstols issues. He plays it all like college. You have to change several things based on age and ability as well as length of season.Yup. We kept our backup cold - not even playing him in back-to-backs and then we rushed both of them back from recovery three times; two games in which Neuvy came back from injury he got hurt and once for Elliott. We didn't let either fully recover and overplayed our starter when we didn't have to.
Why not have the one person in organisation who knows them best and knows if they are feeling it or not, if they are fresh or burning out, healthy or going through something and million other things goalie coach f***ing knows better. There's such a high parity in the league so why not use everything you can to get a marginal gains on other teams.Another one of hakstols issues. He plays it all like college.

Thanks.Well done.
I would try and make everything as subspecialized as possible. Be the CEO and have others under you making good decisions.Why not have the one person in organisation who knows them best and knows if they are feeling it or not, if they are fresh or burning out, healthy or going through something and million other things goalie coach ****ing knows better.

You need to add "edit: i was right" as well so that you can say the rest of it was already there.Thanks.

Hold up, let's not say that just yet. Let's wait for him to break 40, 45, 50 before we say that he's a 50-60 forward.
He's looking great right now and I've always had a high opinion of him, but we can't get ahead of ourselves here.
Well there’s a difference between predicting someone will be something and declaring they’re already that thing.Yes but to be fair, a page later, in response to me calling him "only" a 50-60 point center:
