And the two are actually tied to some extent. Scoring goals means getting points but it also means winning games. Draisaitl hasn't looked too interested in winning the Rocket lately, too, which surprises me since you can tell that McDavid is definitely making a surge to secure the Ross.
He’s not a “good goalie” till he’s actually made the NHL.Give it a rest till that happens please.
Demko, swayman, Saros weren't good goalies at one point either.
They care, but they don’t care as much. If Woodcroft suggests they rest a game I’m sure they won’t make a big stink about it.
Flames, Penguins etc must have taken their foot off the gas then..
)A good lower level goalie does mean he is a can't miss at the NHL level . Heck he has even played in North America with the smaller ice surface which can throw his angles off . You are right that goalies are a crapshoot so I am not sure why you are so concern about use not drafting one .
Im not defending them. And the Oilers were the better team thats why they won. Again I'm just saying people are crazy if they believe teams are going just as hard at the end of the season after they've very handily locked up the conference than they do during the earlier parts of the year. Its not some insane notion. It happens in every sport.
It is not very often a goalie is ranked in the first round. This specific one fell down to our laps and could have easily been gone before Cossa. Lower level really?
I was wondering if Drai’s reaction to that goal was just relief. He was clearly injured during that game and may have been wondering if that game was going to be the last chance he had for a while to get 50.
That's my point as well.. draft the f***ing potential franchise goalie that fell in your lap. The kid would be our #1 prospect had we drafted him. Bourgault is a minor upgrade over Petrov/Savoie/Holloway if at all
I’d rather them try and get the first unit firing on the powerplay
Im not worried about those guys. Some other guys getting a goal or two heading in might be good for confidence. Especially when the games all get tighter and we dont want to have to rely on the big guns for everything again.
Lol. You likely also don't understand the movement so there's that. It isn't about hating police or getting rid of police.
Lol- Holland rushes to sign guys like Shore and Barrie- but waits for guys like Woodcroft and Manson. Makes total sense.
Cmon Debbie Downer, Holland has built a pretty nice team here. So we drop everything and get Woodcroft and Manson signed? Makes total sense
