Defense Wins Chanpionships
My wife had surgery today. We watched this one in the hospital bed on my tablet. Was interesting but still enjoyable.
Best wishes, I hope all is well.

8/1000***He’s still at .903 with is bad. Being .008 off is a lot. It’s actually a really significant amount off. It’s 8 goals over 100 shots.
You’re the only one comparing the goalies, in reference to Kinkaid, I don’t care how good or bad Schneider is. In a vacuum, Kinkaid has been bad but better recently. Schneider hasn’t been good either, I just think comparing the two doesn’t really make sense.
He's played perfectly fine for a backup goalie thrown into a starter's role.
Ride the hot hand until they lose. Then Cory should go in.It's kind of a shame that Schneider is coming back when Kinkaid is playing at his best. 4-1-0 in his last five with a .943, that's excellent. But he really had some stinkers earlier in the year and directly cost us some point in the standings.
if you sort by backups (i put >10 gp, < 30gpFACT CHECK: False
Unless you're happy with having one of the worst back-up goalies in the entire NHL
For the love of leaping lizards, even with the last 2 decent games, he's only "moved up" to 45th out of 52 goalies with 20 games played.

wins are a team stat.
we don't need to go down that rabbit hole, though.

and losses are a kinkaid stat.
and it matters comparing the two goalies on the same team over the past two seasons. when they have nearly identical expected save %s and save %s over 50+ games. but sure hyper focus on the bad games kinkaid has had and wait for cory to play head and shoulders above kinkaid when the numbers dont back that up.
Losses are a team stat too. Blaming a goalie in a 1-0 loss is just as sketchy as giving them credit in a 7-5 win. KK has played well his last few starts and wasn’t earlier in the year, I don’t see why this is so difficult to understand.
Lol. Why is there a Kinkaid debate? We just beat the Penguins.
kinkaid has played very good the last two games no doubt about that. however he still sucks horribly and he shouldn't be on this team next year you can throw whatever numbers you want at me i dont care he is horrible and shouldn't be on a team competing for playoff spots.

most people that I have seen have given props to Kinkaid for his good play of late
but apparently that isn't enough for the "Kinkaid supporters" for whatever reason
While I don’t think these last several starts have made me say that Kinkaid has had a very good season, I think between them and Lack having a much greater suckage per start percentage ratio (a made up stat by me) on the season, I think it’s safe to say that we don’t need to argue that Lack might be better anymore. He had one great start against the Lightning (with a couple bad goals in that game) and one really terrible start against Boston, which probably cost us at least a point and that game against Minnesota where he allowed that backbreaking game winner that ended up being the difference in the game.Kinkaid just had his two best starts of the season in crucial swing games.
But, you know, start Lack.
I think he plays better when he doesn’t play frequently. That doesn’t mean that he’s never played well when playing frequently, but I remember thinking the same thing last year.Perhaps Kinkaid is a goalie that thrives in a heavier workload. Not every goalie can sit for 5-10 games and come in to play a good game. It's one of the reasons I thought Terreri was a good backup.
