He played amazing last year. Maybe we have Dahlin without him.
This year, not so much.
This year, not so much.
Niemi is a stop gap for Lindgren to.be the backup hopefully next year.
We have no idea if Lindgren has what it takes though.
He has been struggling in Laval this year ...
I just checked and most 2nd goalies are pretty bad around the NHL.
But .870 bad?We have no idea if Lindgren has what it takes though.

I just checked and most 2nd goalies are pretty bad around the NHL. Most of them are below 0.900%.

Lindgren is better that his stats shows. The bad thing is we will need to keep Niemi at least until Lindgren returns from his injury.We have no idea if Lindgren has what it takes though.

Is this supposed to be a relief? Lindgren is 25 years old and has been one of the worst goalies in the Ahl for the past two years. Lindgren is not an upgrade over niemi.
I posted this in the GDT and I remember as well.Remember earlier this season when some posters were saying he was better than Price? I remember.
I never knew a goalie could be so bad. He’s horrific. Worse than awful. I don’t understand how he’s in the NHL. He lets in minimum 4 goals a game. The team has to play a perfect game with him in nets and even then there’s still a good chance we lose. I want to put him on waivers or have him traded for 2025 conditional 7th rounder. I wouldn’t want to burden any other teams with Niemi though. I’d feel pretty bad allowing another team to take him on.
I mean how is this that much better:View attachment 170307
It's 12 fewer goals per 10 games better?
OP waited for a loss on a B2B game againts TB to make this thread.
A b2b againts a top team, yet no one is talking about the horrible D. Quite Ironic.

We re blaming the goalie for this loss yet no one is talking about the horrible D.
Quite Ironic.
He was .877 4.01 at 9 games.
He's now .870 4.22 at 10 games.
He was still over 4 goal per game before that game.
Im not defending Niemi. No one had any expectations for this guy.
But top 33 for the starter who's paid 10.5 sounds like a much bigger concern. Niemi is expandable i dont see a point on bashing him.
Well it's the Niemi thread, so it's the place to discuss him. If you don't want to see other people's opinion on Niemi, don't open the thread.

That's not true at all. I've been bashed many times last year for saying he was playing well over his head.
Honestly, with a straight face. how is this that much better:View attachment 170307

Price is a completely separate issue. Niemi is losing the team games and it has nothing to do with how well price is playing.Im not defending Niemi. No one had any expectations for this guy.

I don't think we're watching the same goalie...
