I think he probably gets the Seattle game. I think Bednar will still treat Kuemper as the #1 and thus give him the Nashville, Minnesota, and Anaheim games coming up.Do you think Franky gets the call against Seattle?
Controversial take: Kuemper has been OK this season.
Not in 1967.Punch has fans? What an absolutely despicable piece of shit.
All I'm seeing here is trade for Jonathan Quick and go to war with one of the best playoff performing goalies of all time.I mean Kuemper being the statistically worst starting goalie in the NHL is just patently false considering Koskinen/Smith, Binnington, Blackwood, Allen, Grubauer all exist to say the least. (Kuemper is in that huge cluster along the line right above Jones in the first chart. Also there is MAF)
He was a deplorable human. The psychological torture he put Big M through was horrendous. One of the most vile hockey characters.Not in 1967.
Speak for your f***ing self I know everything about everything.You're still a hockey novice. We all are.
I played too BTW. It makes me no more of an “expert” than someone who never played it. It’s just the means by which I became a hockey fan.

Me too. But I see an opponent goal like the first one yesterday. See EJ badly misread a play. He gets a point shot and blows it by trying to hit the upper corner, far post, when Murray had pinched down low. EJ needs to aim low and inside post for a rebound. Avs have a numbers advantage at their net. But EJs shot is terrible. Misses wide and starts a 2-1 the other way.You're still a hockey novice. We all are.

Winnipegs only goal was another F up by EJ skating himself way out of position and allowing an uncontested point blank tip. Then LOC lost his gap control. And is standing in the middle of the ice. Doing nothing and looking for the puck. Awful PK work by those two. Hockey is a team sport. Breakdowns lead to goals.what's crazy to me is prior to the leafs game, i'd say Kuemper's actually made the key saves. He's a guy that makes the clutch save, yet somehow lets in a softie;
best example is in the WPG game, he should have stopped the Schiefele goal, but then later stops a 3 on 1; i remember in a game a while ago he let in a softie but then made an incredible save on a 2 on 0 break by the other team.
If he can stop letting in the softies, but continue to make the clutch saves, then he'd be a vezina goalie. We only need him to be Corey Crawford good to win the cup though; we don't need Hasek.
