i saw this goal on a highlight package last night - just terrible goaltending
This is exactly what I was talking about with Quick.
Earlier in the year, actually up until a couple weeks ago, I had Quick at a relatively low stoppable goal count/percentage for how in the toilet his save percentage was. And my reasoning for why he's much likely worse than he looks is because he spends half the game on his ass or swimming around in the crease or overshooting himself across the crease and slipping and sliding and throwing himself out of position.
You'd have to think logically that there's a lot of goals that don't look stoppable when they're going in, but that really are stoppable because of how much he's flopping and swimming and break dancing and shooting himself up and down I-5. Look how much open there is when he does that.
And that's a prime example of it right there. I didn't even count that goal stoppable, nor 4 of the other 6 goals (I think he allowed 6 in that game?) in that game. Think I only counted one stoppable, but that was the game where I came to that conclusion. But he's played like this forever and he usually gets solid to very good results. The series that shall not be named back in 2014 was where this was happening a lot in the first 3 games, especially in games 1 and 2. His over-aggressiveness was causing a lot of open nets and he was shooting himself in and out of the crease and that really caused a lot of the goals in games 1 and 2. They didn't look like bad or stoppable goals, but his style of play really caused a lot of the goals against him in those first two games.
But I will say that in the last few weeks, I've counted A LOT more that are just stoppable. Not even the ones where he's swimming around, but just saveable shots going in on him while he's in position for them.
