Two loses in a row after having the lead, what is our identity now?
Two loses in a row after having the lead, what is our identity now?
Why should two games carry more weight than the previous 25?
A team that’s strong at every position sans goaltending.
Goal tending has not been a problem the last 3 games, last night a tip and Matthews Karate Kid kick resulted in 2 goals against, not sure there is a goalie on earth that could have prevented those two goals.
I thought all that back patting last week meant we finally had a system that would prevent these weak come from behind loses, like we have been prone to in the last few years. I guess when the two top point producers play average for 3 games in a row, that world class team defence don't mean a pinch of poo...

Seems like you're arguing against yourself here a bit. Two flukey goals against isn't reflective of a systemic team problem.
Any stand up goalie over 6ft2 would have got Matty's own goal ... only butterfly guys get scored on ... a stand up 6ft6 goaler puck would have hit him in upper stomach ... but because of flopping butterfly style employed it goes over his shoulderGoal tending has not been a problem the last 3 games, last night a tip and Matthews Karate Kid kick resulted in 2 goals against, not sure there is a goalie on earth that could have prevented those two goals.
5 hole freddy putt putt.Any stand up goalie over 6ft2 would have got Matty's own goal ... only butterfly guys get scored on ... a stand up 6ft6 goaler puck would have hit him in upper stomach ... but because of flopping butterfly style employed it goes over his shoulder
I hope Dubie can pull off da miracle I really do ... but i think he tried and failed already ... now quite frankly it will cost us too much to unload him ... like please take Freddy and we will give you a 2021 pick for your trouble5 hole freddy putt putt.
He can’t get up or down
5 more games as backup
Then run him outta town
Then there are other teams worse off too. I completely understand the position he’s put the team in. He got greasy right after Keefe pulled him last year and it’s been downhill ever since. Keefe needs to tell him he needs better if we can’t move him.I hope Dubie can pull off da miracle I really do ... but i think he tried and failed already ... now quite frankly it will cost us too much to unload him ... like please take Freddy and we will give you a 2021 pick for your trouble
Calls it as I see it, 2 tips, one crappy goal and a stalled offence. This team will go as far as Matthews and Marner will score. We are not built to out defend, we are built to outscore. Marner has entered his WTF are you doing stage of the season, he should come out of it in the next week or two. Nylander, well Nylander is Nylander, All Star one game, spectator the next 8. JT has been horrid this year, slow, forcing plays that results in mistakes. When this team is "on" very few teams can beat us, when we play like we have the last 3 games, any team can beat us. we rely far too much on puck luck and fancy passing plays. I still don't believe this team is a top tier defensive team
if Matty didn't tip it, butterfly was the position to make the proper save. what are you talking about?Any stand up goalie over 6ft2 would have got Matty's own goal ... only butterfly guys get scored on ... a stand up 6ft6 goaler puck would have hit him in upper stomach ... but because of flopping butterfly style employed it goes over his shoulder
Watch da replay ... deflected puck went up from mid net to top it did not change direction ... so our goalie went down into butterfly ... if he stayed up on his feet it hits him in upper chest ... he choose to protect lower net and leave parts of upper net open ... it was a clean shot except for Matty so he could have stayed upright for da floater which came in from Morrissey ... he has a shot like Reilly weak weak and weakerif Matty didn't tip it, butterfly was the position to make the proper save. what are you talking about?
When the going gets scrambly he resorts to the belly flop style which only makes it worse.Any stand up goalie over 6ft2 would have got Matty's own goal ... only butterfly guys get scored on ... a stand up 6ft6 goaler puck would have hit him in upper stomach ... but because of flopping butterfly style employed it goes over his shoulder
Yep he does that when games get too fast for his processing and athletic ability ... if you played defense you will see bigger slower defenders let blue line go on rush to speedy forwards ... and wingers who do not backcheck start swinging their arms and make it look like they are pumping hard to get back when really they are resting up for next attackWhen the going gets scrambly he resorts to the belly flop style which only makes it worse.
My son great kid, but was an average Houseleague player at best. I used to help on the bench, anyway, he would come into the bench huffing and puffing. Had everyone fooled but me. I took him aside and told him he wasn't fooling me and to stop the academy performance. lol.Yep he does that when games get too fast for his processing and athletic ability ... if you played defense you will see bigger slower defenders let blue line go on rush to speedy forwards ... and wingers who do not backcheck start swinging their arms and make it look like they are pumping hard to get back when really they are resting up for next attack

Sorry but that goal is on Matty. Andy didn't commit to a butterfly, the puck is redirected which made Andy push off with his left leg to shift right but it's too late by then...

Yes all true but da best goalers know when to go into butterfly and when to stand up ... watch Price watch Helle they understand when to drop and when not to drop ... Freddy does not have this situation training built into his brain as a kid and minor playing house league in DenmarkThe last stand up goalie that I can recall is Brodeur, virtually every goalie in todays game is a butterfly goalie. There is a reason why teams practice tipping the puck, it works. There are very few super athletic reaction type goalies left, guys like Hasek are unique because they are unicorns, athletic, flip floppers are in the minority. The vast majority are built like walls, wear over size equipment to look like a wall and play angles and position themselves for the percentages (What is the most likely shot). Look at Miller, the guy is so small, like puny small, he's got shoulders like a brook trout, if he didn't have facial hair, based on his size you'd think he is a tall 12 year old, but he looks huge in net. It's all about being big in net and blocking shots.
