Best Goalie Coach in the League?

[Porter Stoutheart]

There is an element of just the "fit" between a goalie and his coach too. Lots of goalie coaches have studied the position and know their stuff from a technical standpoint. But not all goalies are the same, physically or mentally, and some coaches work better with one goalie than they do with another.

Well, if you wanna be a goaltender, go somewhere in New York.

My face opening the thread & seeing Pavelec stood on his head.

 

[Scottkmlps]

Bill Ranford

 

[Choralone]

Looking forward to Ranford helping Quick update his game this offseason.

 

[GordonGecko]

yeah there's no way Mitch Korn is better than Benoit Allaire

Loved Rollie but I’m happier with ian Clark tbh. He helped BoBro back in the day and has done wonders for Markstrom now too.

Rollie the Goalie Melanson did some really solid work for the Canucks.

Wish we still had him.

Going against the grain and saying Francois Allaire. Coached Roy in Montreal and Giguere in Anaheim. Brought into Colorado by Roy and is still there as far as I know. His goalie school in Switzerland is the reason Gerber, Aubischer, Hiller et. al. came to the league from a pretty obscure hockey country at the time. I think Benoit can thank him for much of his success too.

Except you know, he is.

Waite is mine best goalie coach in the league. He accomplished some miracles with our goalies.

i don't know but goalie coach is a pretty special gig. imagine the combination of acuity, technical skill and psychiatric chops it demands to spot a problem, figure out a solution, and then get the guy to believe in you and himself through thick and thin.

Bill Ranford has help mold or resurrect the following;
Jonathan Quick
Martin Jones
Darcy Kuemper
Jonathan Bernier
Ben Scrivens
Jack Campbell
Peter Budaj
Cal Petersen

 

[Allan92]

Lundqvist
Talbot
Raanta
Georgiev


That's only 4 of the more high profile goalies allaire has had on the rangers and all 4 have become starter level under his tutelage (and remained so for at least a year after leaving NY).

When he does it again with Shesty at the nhl level, this conversation will be over

 

[QuadDeuces]

Lundqvist
Talbot

Fundamentally speaking, the Rangers would do really well to parlay Georgiev into something. I really don't think he's an NHL level goaltender. His technique reminds me a lot of Andrew Hammond's. That said, Allaire is a terrific goalie coach, but it's very hard to argue against Mitch Korn's resume or Sean Burke's past work.

 

[nhlfan9191]

Stephane Waite.

 

[Kingsfan1]

Kings for sure AINEC . If there was a league wide poll with management and coaching staff doing the picking Kings would win

 

[Cygnusx1018]

Mitch Korn and Piero Greco

I'm watching the Rangers/Knights game right now and Pavelec is standing on his head, he's improved so much since the beginning of this season when I was scratching my head as to why they signed him.
His last 3 games he shutout Washington with 30 shots, stopped 44 out of 45 Dallas shots, & stopped 41 out of 44 Pittsburgh shots. He has a .953 SV% in his past 5 games. On the season he has a .924 SV% tied with Lundqvist.

I think Benoit Allaire is the best goalie coach in the league, he seems he turns every Ranger backup into a stud. Talbot, Raanta, Pavelec

Ive heard great things about Ben Allaire.... Mitch Korn is also really good...

 

[Goalie guy]

It's really close Allaire, Ranford, Korn.
