Robin Lehner, Thomas Griess predictions/“The Korn Effect”

[Isles72]

Greiss said the practical difference is that he’s making one or two reads on plays compared to the five or six options opponents had against him last season.

Will Isles' goalies rotate, or will one move ahead?  

 

[RWWallpaper]

I don’t think you could have asked for a more solid performance than the two of them have given us to this point...give us a chance to win night in and night out and that’s all I was hoping for going into this year.

Only 4 teams have given up less than 100 goals this far and the Islanders are one of them. Who would have believed that?

Interesting fact about Greiss, he's 74-44 -12 since he got here. Probably one of the better records in the league over the last few years.

Don't know why, but he had that horrendous year last year. The last 2 seasons for the Isles prior, he was excellent. So he's had 2 1/2 excellent seasons for the Isles and one horrendous one. So I'd be willing to venture that the one bad season, was just that, just a very bad season and not normal for Greiss. This is Greiss' career with thhe Isles.

As you can see, outside of last year, he averages around 2.50 and .920 sp. That's pretty damned good. Great comeback season for Greiss so far.

The reason was Doug Weight.

Allowing a bad/inexperienced coach to hire his beer buddies to join him behind the bench would kill anyone's chance.

 

[ebergeist]

Greiss has been solid so far, this season we are not going fall because of our goalies.

True story and well said.

Nice to see some stability in the net for the Isles. You've got a thing going for yourself and it's nice to see losing Tavares didn't affect you much. It maybe even made you better, because now everyone know they have to step up their game and contribute to the win.

Lehner has a slight lead in stats, with what, 5 fewer games played? I like both Greiss and Lehner, but I hope Lehner steals the starting job.

Lehner was dealing with injury earlier so Greiss took the reigns in his absence. I prefer Lehner too.

 

[Islanders4Cups]

There is nothing yet that leads me to trust Lehner yet. He has been a disappointment thus far but I will give him so more time.
Greiss is playing like an all-star at times but he won’t carry this team by himself. There aren’t many goalies who will.

Love that Lehner is gaining trust since my previous post.

I think this will happen. With the way things are going now, for every bad game Greiss has Lehner will probably get the two next starts. Greiss has been excellent, but when he he goes bad he goes real bad.

That's a very nice read.

 

[Kevin27NYI]

That's a very nice read.

I especially liked the part where Mike says he regrets not asking Lehner more about non hockey things.

I found this stat highly unusual

Some goalie like to get more shots because it can get them into a rhythm. Long periods between shots allows ones mind to wander a bit.

That is very unusual.

I will say I have played goalie my whole life and this is typically the case with a lot more goalies than you would think. I loved being peppered early and often throughout the game.

He's probably trying to figure out if Dal Colle's Italian.

Probably at the NHL level, probably what separates the pros from the beer league players.

First of all if you are saying I'm some simple beer league player you're wrong. I could've went to D2 if I gave up my weekends for some more travel!!
