Sudden decline? He was good?!?! No way...
We're both thinking of the right guy, right? The Swiss, anime-looking kid that played for Anaheim...? He dropped to his knees before a shot was even threatened and he sat back on his pads, so he played pure blocking butterfly but without any leg flare...and because his knees would drop in such a way, not only did he not cover wide with the flare, but his five-hole was left open because pads are designed for butterfly goalies to flare their legs out...that's how it works...that's what makes it efficiency goaltending. So he was doing the bare minimum and doing it wrong...what a combo. He had lazy hands (though, to be fair, his low glove was good...but that's because he's one of those crazy ass right glove goalies...*shudders*), he was a poor skater, he had no leverage on his edges because he was always just ready to drop, no shuffle ability despite playing on his knees constantly, his rebound control itself wasn't awful because things did kind of stick to him...but the quantity of rebounds he let up was a little annoying to me...he never directed a rebound to anyone, he just hoped his mattress was soft enough to not spill the wine glass...
Oh man, he was brutal though...I know you're in the #GoalieUnion or whatever...but **** man, some workers just suck...this guy sucks...he's the guy you try to send for coffee, but he always screws it up, so you just send him to get like Slim Jim's and Funyuns...**** you can't really mess up...even if you drop it...
