Nerves probably,hopefully he will work those things out .On the farm this seasonI can't say a lot of good things about his performance.
Very shaky on those long shots.
Oh well.

As a goalie, its almost impossible to come in cold halfway through a game and succeed; especially when the last time you got shots taken at you was an hour before. O'Connor struggled on his rebound control, and did have a tough time seeing the far shots. He was caught deep in his net on the 4th goal of the game, where he should have been at the top of the crease to make an easy shoulder stop. However he has great lower net coverage and it should be good to see him in full game on Sunday. Give him a little time to acclimate to the pace and style of the Pro game; he'll do well once he does.
I agree its a strange move, why not just rotate them and give them full games?
He's the reason I don't mind Lehner's departure.
Anderson, Hammond and O'Connor all seem to have a great attitude. I think this could lead to at least a few years of stable and drama free goaltending which is going to be really nice.
The only thing im worried about him and im a big fan of his, is how he will react when he's not on the best team in the country. As everyone knows, confidence is the biggest thing for a goalie and winning instills confidence.. curious to see how he reacts to playing for a mediocre (or atleast i think binghamton will be mediocre) hockey team.
He's one year removed from coming 14 of 14 in gaa and 12 of 14 in save% in the HockeyEast division.
Regardless.. it will be fun to watch the crease battles for the next couple of years.
How is Matts puck handling and decision making? It's not all about stopping shots, goalie coaches will tell you
0-5 with pretty horrendous stats. Has anyone been watching Bingo? I'd love to hear how things are going for Matt down there. I noticed he's played less than Dreidger, are they splitting starts?
Team is horrid in front of him. It's good though, he's learning to deal with adversity and he's seeing more rubber than a tire factory. This is actually good for his development. At least according to Luke Richardson.
he is terrible. has a five hole larger than lehner.
Not to knock all Bingo fans, but remember how many of them told us Hammond sucked?
I'm not too worried about the first ~5 games of a player's pro career.
Ask me how he's playing in March.
I wasn't asking because I'm worried. I'm just generally interested how his start has gone.
I'm going to ask again before March.

I think O'Connor has all the tools to be a great goaltender, it may take some time for him to learn the ropes & there will be ups & downs but he has already shown that he has all the skill. But it will take more than one player, once Luke gets these guys going together as a team Bingo will be better & O'Connor will be better. I thought for the last couple of yrs that Dreidger wasn't very good & then he went on a bit of a streak last yr to end the season & he is off to a good start this season.
