Also a good defense helps goalies see more shots and prevent the majority of high quality shots. Of course the goalie still has to stop the more harmless pucks but a good defense does help the goalie and vice versa.

We also made a drastic change in the coaching department.

so two coaching changes with two drastically different shot suppression success rates

Hitchpuck we actually suppressed shots, Monty puck we have the highest shots (and shot attempts) rates against since the beginning of Jim Puck. except we've never allowed more shots (or shot attempts) against at 5 on 5

that's kinda f***ed up. At least during Ruff Puck we were fun to watch.

yeah- Lindell let Bishop see that Kyle Connor shot real good tonight

Exactly.

So you're faulting Lindell for Klingbergs dumb turnover where he shot the puck to the side of his own net ?

He had Jamie Benn going up the left boards and reversed it to Klingberg to pull a rabbit out of a hat.

That was Klingberg's goal...

If you're looking the the advancing goalie stats like GSAA Khudobin and Bishop do not face too many quality shot and don't actually have to stand on their heads. Are they playing well ? Of course but they're not completely bailing out the team.

 

[Satan]

No it wasn't. Lindell had an easy play to Benn but chose to put Klingberg under pressure and then sit infront of the net and puck watch.

if you look at advanced goalie stats they tell you that Vasilevskiy is a bad goalie- goalies are voodoo

It's possible to play your way out of pressure you know. I don't even get why we're having this discussion, you don't want him out of the team so it's all good really. Let's move on.

Gurianov is an elite skater that's for damn sure.

Not much else is there tho.

How does Gurianov's defensive game look? Does he have a decent shot at a roster spot next year without taking a big step forward from what he showed in this game?

He's a great backchecker cause of his speed. In the defensive zone he's not totally lost though. He had an incredible defensive play with the backcheck of Lowry's breakaway in the last game. He should be on the roster next season for sure imo. Idk how they could keep him off after the AHL season he is having.

He's got all the tools to be a top 6 guy soon he's just gotta put them together at this level
