Goaltending stats will correct themselves as the season plays on. This season, at all levels, October hockey has been a killer on goalies; once teams go through their loop and get their defensive game in order the tide will shift.
Look at Peterborough and Ottawa, last year two teams that struggled with goals against; this year Petes with their 1 - 4 neutral zone trap is sheltering Jones and Ottawa is just out scoring their defensive shortcomings right now.
The end of November will give you the first true idea of how the season is panning out.
The end of November last season was the start of the darkest 2.5 months for the Attack in recent memory.
I think what everyone is concerned about is a repeat of last year. We kept sitting here saying things will get better and its early but didn't have a goalie with a save percentage above .880.
Ill say this, I haven't given up on Goose yet as a number one in this league but he sure hasn't given anyone a true reason to believe he can lead this team anywhere this year. As much as he was a rock in the Soo series, that's a very small sample size.
Let's hope Mack can at least get to league average. There are 7 more games this month. I figure he gets 5 of those which would give him 12 starts on the season if my math is correct. If that 4.11 GAA is still sky high, i'm at a point where I start to look at other options.
But hey im just a fan. lol easier said then done
