uhhhh, any goalie in the world over the age of 10 stops that puck. that "high quality" shooter couldn't have put it anymore into his chest than he did. i'm sure he's made some spine tingling saves...but this one doesn't qualify.

okay, i'm totally not picking on the kid BUT...there is no need for a further stop if he merely holds the initial shot rather than giving up a juicy rebound.

Agree. But I would also like to add that the shooter looks like he's current Islander material.

You do understand that almost all highlight reel saves are off second chances (IE: the goalie didn't hold the initial shot). Making that second save is what separates the great goalies from the good/average.
great goalies swallow up routine shots. the kid didn't do that in the highlight above.
this is funny: i just watched the queen do that for the pens as i'm typing. want to know why you'll never see that particular highlight? because he didn't give up a foolish rebound resulting in either (a) a great follow up save or (b) a goal.
the greats make routine plays look routine.

That wasn't an easily swallowed up shot. Be mindful, you're talking about a kid that posted a GAA barely over 1 and a SV% well into the .950's.
i'm being mindful of the fact that he is a professional goalie. professional goalies are to swallow up shots like the one shown in the provided video clip.

Dude.... it was 1 shot lol
Even the best goalies fail to make routine saves every now and then. It happens.
Now, I'm not saying this kid is the next Tretriak...just think we need to be mindful of the whole sample size thing lol

dude, what i said was that he shouldn't have had to make the follow up glove save. that's it. that's all.
have i indicated that he regularly screws up? nope. it was a comment about one freaking clip. big deal!

Oh Pat Kane had 100 points.... but remember that one time in that one game where he turned the puck over? I mean... he scored a goal anyway, but what a scrub am I right? [/dunce]

He had at least one nice rush with the puck, played solid in his own end.... was willing to use his body and even got into a fight. The kid looks like he's got a nice future.

I haven't seen a heck of a lot of him, but the little I've seen he reminds me of an Adrian Aucoin type.
i'm not a dumbass at all. the kid didn't make the initial save. that is what i saw and that is what i commented on. i'm not judging anyone's ability. i've been quite clear on that. i'm judging one play because that is what was posted. it's really not hard to figure out, friend. and i would say that you're shaming yourself, not me lol.

He didn't? Because it's quite clear that he did.... then followed that save up with another save.

He doesn't bring the heat, but it's an effective one.... low and accurate. My comparison to AA is more of his all around effectiveness and heady play.
didn't make the original save properly/correctly. you can say that he did if you like. up to you. pm me if you would like to continue this discussion. the other posters here don't need to see a circular conversation when they are coming here looking for quality informaiton. also, no point in you earning more infractions for name calling/flaming/etc.
