Is there one worse than Jimmy Howard? I can't remember the last time he didn't let in at least 2 of the 3 shots. He's let in 9 of 12 this year,

Bernier is pretty bad in shootouts and breakaways. He's really good in most other areas so he makes up for it though

 

[DeYarmond Edison]

No. Not even close.

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

That first goal that Howard let in was some crap luck on his part to be honest. Looks like he stopped the shot but just went off his skate.

Loungo usually is quite bad in the SO aswell.

 

[Pavels Dog]

Howard has gotten progressively worse at them. Early in his NHL career he was quite solid, now he literally doesn't stop anything but completely botched attempts. It's probably in his head and maybe he doesn't think it's a priority to work on.

 

[LarKing]

I think players just understand that he's not a big goalie nor does he ever attempt to pokecheck. He leaves big holes and allows shooters to take their time to find them, which leads to basically every shot going in these days.

Cam Talbot is satanically bad in shootouts. I love Talbot and for 65 minutes he's one of the best backups in the league, but if I were AV I would seriously consider bringing Lundqvist in off the bench for Talbot's shootouts. I don't think I've ever even seen him make a save.

so bad.

2 goals in 3 shots this year, 1 in 3 shots last year. Honestly,you haven't seen him make many saves because he's only been in two shootouts haha.

Pavelec is always a safe answer.

Interesting, it's not as bad as I thought. Maybe it just looks worse than it is because when he gets beat, he gets beat bad. I can hear his ankles breaking from my living room.

 

[velodim]

Acording to many people on this board. You should not even be in SO against Panthers. Should be easy win right? )))

 

[Wolfpuck]

Whoever is in goal for the Hurricanes is always guaranteed to give up at least 1 goal in a shootout, and since the Canes can't score for ****, it's basically an automatic loss.

Loungo usually is quite bad in the SO aswell.

No he isn't.

Scott Clemmensen is terrible at shootouts.

 

[FLpanthers16]

No he isn't.

Yeah he is.

How good was he before this year when hes had the chance to work on his SO game.

Great example of the "What Have You Done For Me Lately" syndrome.

You've got a very short memory.

Before this year, his save pct of .746 had him ranked 3rd out of the 41 active goalies having faced 50+ shootout attempts over their career.

His bad start this year has brought him down to .684 and 18th, which is still over the median...

PS: The first two? Marc-André Fleury (.763) and Henrik Lundqvist (.747).

The worst? Niklas Backstrom (.562).

Jonathan Bernier is at .546 but has only faced 44 attempts (24 saves).

The worst with more than 10 attempts is Justin Peters at .389 (18 attempts, 7 saves).

A bit of a selective memory, have you not?

Over his career, 3 saves on 6 attemps (1 for 3 this year).

PS: Darn, Nyquist beat me to this...

Bernier is bad at them. Reimer is great at them.

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

Bernier is bad at them. Reimer is great at them.

Reimer is 24th out of 41 active goalies having faced 50+ attempts at .667, which is exactly his pct for this season (2 saves on 3 attempts).

 

[Will Hunting]

Steve Mason is absolutely awful in the shootouts. Jimmy Howard is the unique case THIS year, though.

Fleury is the best in the business in this cathegory. Easily.

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

Luongo with the Canucks. Horrid.

 

[SladeWilson23]

Schneider is 7-15 with a .597 SV%.

Came in to say I thought Backstrom is pretty bad. I think this more than proves that one. Hard to complain about a guy with a .746 career percentage coming into this year.
