so I've said it time and time again that I do no like Buckley as the Pens goalie coach.

What’s causing the problem for top goalie Tristan Jarry? Maybe it’s the position coach. Madden sees some bad habits creeping into Jarry’s game that he also noticed with Matt Murray before he was traded to Ottawa this offseason. Namely, playing too deep in the net.

not that I'm a MM fan and I disagree with some of what he said. But overall, buckley needs to go, hopefully with Burke/Hextall here we will see some changes.

SV% 31st@ 86.15% [email protected]%
1st Tampa 95.2% 1st Tampa 93%

PDO [email protected] 30th 0.96 (Flyers 1st)

some telling numbers, I don't know how anyone can defend goalies, but also not converting chnaces, also our powerplay obviously is major drag....nothing really that we don't see night in night out...

If all of our goalies are posting sub .900 SV%, I would hope we think about firing the goalie coach whose job is to prevent that.

DeSmith put up horrible numbers in the AHL last season and Jarry has morphed into Fleury playoffs from 2011.

It’s hard to say it’s just their technique or they just suck. Jarry has played pretty poor hockey for a year now.

One of JR’s countless blunders this off season was not finding a more reliable back up for a guy that has such little experience. But many people here said our goaltending was fine heading into the season, and still blindly defend it.

If one goalie is looking terrible, that's usually a technique issue. If both goalies are posting horrible numbers, then it's likely a systematic AND technique issue. And if all of our goalies are actively regressing, then the goaltending coach should take the blame because it's his job to make sure that doesn't happen.

f***, I want to be a non-head coach coach in Pittsburgh. Talk about a job where your performance has absolutely no bearing on your employment status. :laugh:

Regardless, if your power play sucks you get rid of the power play coach. If your goal tending tends to get worse over time across the board you can the Goalie coach. Murray struggled mightly at first in Ottawa, it would be interesting to see how he does once he is settled in that system with a different coach and so on. His first 7 games he was putrid, last 4 games much better. I'm not a Murray fan, when he was here (his last 2 seasons). Now that he doesn't have Buckley whispering in his ear let's see how he does this season.
