I only watched it once but I thought Nick picked off Johnny in his haste to get back into the play?
GDT: CBJ at Minnesota 2PM
- Thread starter EspenK
- Start date
it created a little bit of chaos but it wasnt near Gaudreau. Gaudreau was with Kaprizov off to the side and turned his head the wrong way to see the puck and lost sight of Kaprizov who went back to the net for the tap in while Gaudreau was off going for a skate.
I think this is wrong.
It can be good for a person wearing a letter or a coach to be that guy to “push back” on things that need to be changed or not happen on the ice, but, VERY rarely do you want your goalie to fulfill this role. Even worse, which I think seems relevant and is the case with Elvis, is when a goalie WANTS to fulfill this role, or feels it’s needed or justified.
The only time you want your goalie to be this way, or for it to actually have a positive impact on the team, would be when a goalie is HIGHLY respected by the team as a whole, or is some “decorated” veteran with many accolades and/or playing at an extremely high level. I had my issues with how Bobrovsky played and carried himself at times, but, his overall body of work and respect he did seem to have from the players as a “professional”, did allow him some leeway regarding the negative aspects regarding his “attitude” that surfaced at times. And to add, other than at the very end of his CBJ time, and there were extended trade talks/rumors, he was never anywhere near to Elvis regarding the “problem” behaviors or “ME ME ME” attitude that Elvis seemingly has regarding nearly everything.
Regarding Elvis, NONE of that is there. There have been published stories from “day 1” regarding his attitude/mindset/arrogance, and that players were not a fan of him to start. How many stories have we gotten since then, regarding a change in mindset, about how much the players love or respect him…
Or care what he has to say??
And who do you want there? Sweezey, Berni, Bayreuther or Peeke?

I'm not saying it's not true, and I wouldn't be surprised, quite the opposite, but can you tell me how you know this?
I don’t have an ‘Athletic’ subscription, or if that’s where they even come from, but, there have been multiple published articles referring to his “mindset” and how he was perceived be the team from the very start. Some were linked not very long ago.
I believe there have been comments about it from Legace, and I think Jarmo, and maybe even some of Elvis’ family (mother?), however, I believe no actual comments from any players, which some could take as a positive, however I take the “silence” as an indication of more negativity.

Sometime goalies are just like this.
Korpisalo suffers rare meltdown during loss

I think that was a game that could be attributed to Korpi changing his mindset. He would let his emotions get the best of him, and his game would suffer. I also remember Torts benching him after that game because he felt that his outburst was also showing up his teammates, kind of like how Elvis glaring at his teammates after a mistake and goal against. That kind of stuff doesn't need to happen on the ice, and should be taken care of in the room, away from the fans sight, and more importantly, the medias.Sometime goalies are just like this.

He hasn’t lost anything or is any different of a goalie this year than he’s always been. He also isn’t “turning it around” recently, either. IMO there’s nothing to turn it around into…
Don’t be so sure about what the CBJ will look like in net in the near future. Hilarious that you would say that after probably saying the same thing this time last year and up until Korpisalo was re-signed.
Look at the actual goals against and Korpisalo’s body language. What’s extremely relevant is that what I can see, there is almost zero “interaction” or “gesturing”, or looks or any kind, towards the team/defense. It’s seemingly general frustration, culminating in a short handed breakaway goal to go down with 5 minutes left in the game.Sometime goalies are just like this.

In contrast to Elvis, who IMO, many times gives extended looks towards teammates or even seemingly has actual things to say to players, and routinely “directs” many of his “tantrums” and stick slams towards teammates. IMO

But their hockey vision isn't so good, especially Peeks. His strong side is shoot the puck to OZ and all.
