His confidence was absolutely shot playing in Halifax. Saw a lot of rubber and saw a lot of it go past him. Tough for a young kid to be between the pipes for such a difficult span of time.
Usual course of events in Halifax would see him start strongly, for maybe half of the first period, then let in a goal (maybe his fault, maybe defensive breakdown), then you could just watch him deflate. He'd play deeper in his net, he'd be visibly frustrated and the goals would just continue to pile up.
Question remains on whether he can turn it around in Saint John. Worth noting that this is the first winning team he's ever been a part of. Ever. Going back to when he first started playing.
Still has that great size, still moves well, needs to continue to refine his technique, but the biggest questions are the mental side of the game. This will be a very important season for him.
