No it's not obvious at all. Neuvirth literally hasn't been able to do much of anything on most goals he conceded.

I prefer Enroth but it's not guaranteed he's the starter

That sequence was Zads in a nutshell. Made a great breakup on the 2 on 1. Then cheated near the blueline and was toasted as they came in and scored.

No I'm being serious. Tell me how it was his fault on any of the goals? 2 on 1? 2 snipes?
Even in the Toronto game, most goals were perfect shots. The bozak shot, the phaneuf shot, etc..

The team have played like garbage in front of him tonight. Defensive mistakes putting him on the spot. I'd like to see more from him but throwing him under the bus like that is premature

The one big problem of being bigger and faster in Juniors is you can get away with that. In the NHL? Not so much.

Throwing him under the bus? I said Enroth is the likely starter when season opens. Hardly an earth shattering assertion given their respective play to date.

Wanting to argue over each goal is somewhat pointless and missing the bigger picture.

Yeah, he's getting thrown under the bus. He's been held out to dry on most goals he conceded.

Either way, I don't think a few pre-season games should be the measermeant to determine the starter. Let both duke it out during the year and let one beat out the other. If it's Enroth so be it, if it's Neuvirth so be it. Judging off pre-season is as I said, premature.

It's more his d-zone decision making isn't the greatest. Not sure what being big has to do with doing something dumb in that situation.

I think he is saying that he plays with more risk in junior because of his physical gifts give him such an advantage.

In that situation bigger did not play a role. My point was that if you are a better physical player (strength, speed, shot, etc...) it can cover up mental errors as the are recoverable in Jr and not the NHL. See McNabb, Brayden.

If typing an opinion of who I think will be the starting goaltender Oct. 9th is throwing the other goaltender under the bus... Then .... Beep beep. I never said anything about hating Neuvirth or saying he sucks etc...

Yikes.

Neuvirth hasn't been very good. And there is zero chance he's the starting goalie to start the season.

Well obviously.

My point is Zads needs work on his understanding of d-zone positioning and situational awareness. Its something he needs to focus on to be ready for the NHL IMO.

And in an ironic twist in light of the talk about his size. He seems to get beat to the outside more than you would think a guy his size would. He needs to take better advantage of his size and wingspan when defending. Its not a huge issue but its more of an issue than it should be. It happened on the one PP goal.

I haven't heard that particular one. I remember when Forselund used to do national games. I think OLN/VS/NBCSN has wised up cause i haven't seen him call a game in a while.

"he scOOOOOres" drove me ****ing nuts.
